Broad agreement reached on the final draft of the Global Compact on Refugees! Could be game-changing in how the world responds & shares responsibility. https://t.co/Lxq7W3dLUd

Gorgeous little film by @MikeyKayNYC about the beautiful and inspiring Halima Aden - @Kinglimaa - and her return to her childhood home in the Kakuma Refugee Camp to speak at #TEDxKakumaCamp. https://t.co/931JVFLSML

UNHCR staff & medical experts observed further deterioration in the mental health of refugees & asylum-seekers. Separation from family members + deep seated fear of being abandoned has contributed to an acute sense of insecurity & helplessness. https://t.co/DePOgKWwWD

In June alone, one person died for every seven who crossed the Central Mediterranean, compared to one in 19 in the first half of this year and one in 38 in the first half of 2017. People in distress must be rescued at sea. These are human lives! https://t.co/CoHa59oKwq

“The rebels came into our villages, they take the children and disappear with them. They rape the girls and cut them into small pieces with machetes.” More and more children are being reported missing as the displacement crisis worsens. https://t.co/bt1KpwEWG0 via @refugees

"I am gravely concerned for the civilian population caught in the crossfire in South West #Syria, including airstrikes and heavy shelling. An estimated 750,000 lives are in danger." -@RefugeesChief https://t.co/Rcsi48cPLA via @refugees

200,000 Rohingya refugees at risk of losing their shelters to floods and landslides. Monsoon rains paused when I took this photo. Great to see ⁦⁦@UNHCR_BGD⁩ with partners + refugees working 24/7 to shore up infrastructure. https://t.co/icPStqS8vP
