In Bangladesh’s Rohingya refugee camps, monsoon season can be a matter of life and death.

Families live in shelters on steep hillsides where landslides can destroy homes. As rainfall subsides, communities are repairing damage and recovering from the impact of recent storms.

Your support can help families rebuild their homes, restore a sense of safety and recover from the damage left behind.

9 years of lives on hold. 9 years of surviving in the camps. 9 years since the large-scale forced displacement of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar into Bangladesh.

Some 1.2 million Rohingya refugees remain in Bangladesh, most in camps in Cox’s Bazar, unable to safely return home as violence and conflict continue in Myanmar.

Humanitarian support has saved lives and provided learning, healthcare and protection. But funding is shrinking, critical services are at risk and families are being pushed towards increasingly desperate choices.

The world’s attention may have shifted, but the Rohingya refugees' need for safety and a life with dignity has not.

9 years on, we cannot look away.

Every day, forcibly displaced people work to create better lives for themselves after facing unimaginable hardships.

Wherever they are and whoever they may be, refugees deserve the world’s attention and support.

Refugees are people who were forced to flee their homes. But that’s only part of their story.

They are parents, students, artists, entrepreneurs, athletes, teachers, neighbours and friends.

They are people with dreams, talents, ambitions and stories that go far beyond displacement.

Don’t forget about Afghanistan.

In less than three years, six million people have returned to Afghanistan — a movement on a scale rarely seen in recent history.

Behind these numbers are people returning to a country where humanitarian needs are rising and communities are under immense pressure.

For every person returning, the fundamental principle remains: returns must be voluntary, safe and dignified.

As attention shifts elsewhere, Afghanistan and its people must not be forgotten.

We cannot look away.

More than what you see.

A basket.
A blackboard.
A wheelchair.
A wedding dress.

For these refugees in Rwanda, they mean a livelihood, an education, independence or a fresh start.

Over 800 individuals in Lanao del Sur are now one step closer to a more secure and resilient future. 💙

With the support of the Government of Japan (Embassy of Japan in the Philippines 在フィリピン日本国大使館), UNHCR and partners facilitated a mobile birth registration across the municipalities of Maguing and Malabang, Lanao del Sur. For families forced to flee their homes, a birth certificate can make all the difference. It establishes a person's identity, helps them access vital services and protection, and gives them a stronger foundation for the future, wherever life takes them.

Join us in making sure no one is left behind.
