On #WorldRefugeeDay we have reached unfortunately also a very sad target — more than 500,000 people have now fled the fighting in Sudan to neighbouring countries.
Half a million refugees.
Guns must fall silent if we want this exodus to stop. – at Nairobi, Kenya

Aldri før har så mange blitt tvunget til å flykte.
I dag markerer vi Verdens flyktningdag, mens over 100 millioner mennesker er på flukt.
FN @Refugees gjør en uvurderlig innsats for å beskytte og hjelpe folk på flukt til en ny start. Norge støtter dette arbeidet.

More than 2 million people in Bangladesh were affected by Cyclone Mocha.
Norwegian support enables us to provide shelter support, psychological first, child protection services and more.
Tusen takk Norge!🇳🇴♥️
🌀#CycloneMocha caused widespread damage in the coastal areas of Bangladesh, including the #Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar.

I am shocked and saddened by reports that at least 10 refugees living in Sudan have died in an attack in Khartoum. UNHCR is trying to reach and provide support to survivors.
All civilians are in danger in Sudan. Guns must be silenced if lives are to be saved and aid delivered. – at Geneva, Switzerland
