It's because of war.
It's because of violence.
It's because of persecution.
It’s a heartbreaking decision that 41.6 million people have made to flee across borders to find safety.

- From being born in a refugee camp to scoring at a World Cup. A message to millions. ⭐️ Nestory Irankunda’s journey from displacement to becoming Australia’s youngest #FIFAWorldCup goalscorer shows what’s possible when hope, talent and opportunity come together. 🌍⚽
- Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow. Always. Until everyone is safe, we keep showing up.
- Most refugees want to return to their countries, but home is often out of reach due to ongoing insecurity. 4.4 million refugees were able to return home in 2025 - although many returned under adverse conditions or encountered extremely fragile situations.
- One week to go until 20 June, #WorldRefugeeDay! The right to seek safety was made for times like these. Help keep the promise of safety alive. Stand with refugees. Until everyone is safe, we show up. Until everyone is safe, the work is not done.

Refugee numbers declined in 2025, but the story behind the figures matters. Most refugees want to go home, but it must be voluntary, safe and with dignity. For every person forced to flee… Protection matters. Solutions matter.
00:00 - Millions of people have been forced to flee around the world. Behind every figure is a person who’s fled violence, war or persecution. Many are still waiting for safety and stability. #GlobalTrends

When a crisis strikes, UNHCR is there. With a global stockpile that can deliver immediate humanitarian aid for up to one million people, we can reach anywhere in the world within 72 hours. This is how we save lives.

After years of displacement, families are returning home to hope and to hard realities. In #Afrin, families like Ahmed’s & Gulistan’s are starting over amid damaged homes & lost livelihoods. Continued support is essential to help them rebuild their lives with dignity.

Displacement often means leaving everything behind. In Mocímboa da Praia, UNHCR and AVSI are supporting recently displaced families from Nabaje through targeted protection kits for those facing the greatest vulnerabilities, helping restore dignity and meet immediate needs.
- Do not forget the Rohingya people. Nine years after the most recent wave of refugees fled Myanmar, 1.2 million refugees live in camps in Cox’s Bazar and are still in need of life-saving aid. We must stand with the Rohingya people.
