102 suicide attempts. 24 deaths by suicide. In just the first half of 2026, among refugees in Uganda alone. For refugees who've already lost so much, it doesn't take much more to lose hope entirely: funding cuts ending vital support, lack of food and clean water, obstacle after obstacle just to rebuild a life once already taken from them. Many can't go home because it's still not safe, and the door to resettlement is nearly closed too. Many are left feeling stuck. One death by suicide is one death too many. With humanitarians like Namanya, UNHCR is working to identify what's driving refugees to lose hope, and to prevent them from facing an unthinkable decision. Your support helps refugees hold on to hope, even when everything else has been stripped away. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

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.

We're proud to announce Wenyen Gabriel as UNHCR's newest Goodwill Ambassador! Born into a family forced to flee conflict, Wenyen knows first-hand what becomes possible when refugees are given the chance to rebuild. Together, we'll continue standing with people forced to flee their homes and helping ensure that being a refugee is never the end of someone's story. Welcome to the family, Wenyen.

"Like 1.2 million living in these camps, I did not choose to be a refugee." Rohingya singer and student Rohel Khan makes a call from Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh: "Do not let us be forgotten in these camps." This year marks 9 years since the large-scale forced displacement of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar into Bangladesh. Millions of refugees like Rohel deserve to be heard.

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.

A breathtaking performance by UNHCR supporter Valentina Nafornita, whose beautiful voice brought a special moment of reflection to the 75th anniversary of the 1951 Refugee Convention. Through music, we celebrate the promise of protection and the hope it continues to bring to people forced to flee.
