โThe events in Gaza are taking place against a backdrop of 75 years of displacement. 75 years of failure to find a just and lasting solution to the plight of Palestine Refugees,โ Philippe Lazzarini.
Powerful words on the devastating reality in Gaza.
โEvery refugee is a symptom of our collective failure to ensure peace and security. Refugee situations donโt have to turn into crises if we work together to address and manage them.โ
My The Guardian op-ed ahead of this weekโs Global Refugee Forum.

โWe are witnessing a killing of civilians that is unparalleled and unprecedented in any conflict since I have been Secretary Generalโ- UN chief Antรณnio Guterres
UNHCR colleagues were on hand last night at the Global Centre for Pluralism Awards.
From Palestine, to Cameroon, to Oaxaca, Mexico, we celebrate the courage and dedication of those striving to shine a light - even in the darkest of times.
Thank you ๐
'The solution to this situation is the end of the occupation, and full respect for the right to self-determination for Palestinians. As I have said time and again, for the violence to end, the occupation needs to end,' Volker Tรผrk.

For 1 month, people across๐ #GazaStrip have been denied aid, killed & bombed out of their homes.
Daily struggles to find bread & water. Blackouts cut people off from loved ones & the rest of the world.
This is forced displacement & humanitarian tragedy of colossal proportions.

Becoming a refugee is not a choice. But how we act and how we respond is.
Will you help protect the right to seek safety? #HopeAwayFromHome

Great to see Ahmed Hussen Development Canada Canada in Colombia ๐จ๐ฆ at the Colombia-Venezuela border, where UNHCR continues to provide protection and assistance to those forced to flee and the communities that welcome them.
โAt a time of record-high forced displacement... we also need Canada to continue providing humanitarian and long-term funding so countries like #Honduras can support people forced to flee,' Rema Jamous Imseis.
