An inspiring night at the 2024 Nansen Refugee Awards, together with Noor Azizah who spoke so powerfully today about her experience from statelessness, to citizenship, to being an incredible advocate for the Rohingya community.
In a world of mediocre leaders, what a privilege to present the 2024 global and regional Nansen Awards to five exceptional women working in their countries and communities with refugees, displaced and stateless people.
Honouring true leadership!
She’s a sister in every sense of the word: a carer, protector and someone you want on your side.
We are incredibly honoured to recognize Sister Rosita Milesi as this year’s

Spent the week in Myanmar 🇲🇲where amidst climate shocks, instability and conflict, many remain displaced and in need of humanitarian assistance.
UNHCR and partners remain committed to further strengthening support to those affected.
Civilians in Lebanon “should not pay the price for the abysmal failure to find political solutions and end this vicious cycle of violence.”
The press statement issued at the end of my Lebanon visit and summarizing its conclusions 👇🏻
The number of people who have crossed into Syria from Lebanon fleeing Israeli airstrikes — Lebanese and Syrian nationals — has reached 100,000. The outflow continues.
UNHCR is present at four crossing points alongside local authorities and

Education is a fundamental human right for everyone, including refugees.
Yet nearly half of school-aged refugees worldwide are out of school.
