Families in southern Lebanon are running for their lives as attacks continue to escalate. For Lebanese people, life has been all about relentless strikes, rising fear and nowhere left to go. Homes are being destroyed, lives are being shattered and displacement is happening again and again.

This is unacceptable. We strongly condemn the Russian attack on Dnipro, Ukraine, that claimed at least two civilian lives, injured more and hit a UNHCR-contracted warehouse filled with life-saving humanitarian aid. Humanitarians are #NotATarget. These attacks must stop.

Humanitarians and the life-saving aid they distribute are not a target. A UNHCR truck carrying emergency shelter kits was hit by a drone in North Darfur, Sudan. It was on its way to Tawila, where hundreds of thousands of people have fled for safety. The driver survived. The supplies did not. More than 1,300 families are now left without the shelter they urgently needed. Attacks like this are unacceptable. They put lives at risk and deepen an already devastating crisis. Civilians must be protected. Humanitarian workers must be protected.

A ceasefire is in place in Lebanon. For some, it meant going back after weeks of displacement. Thousands of families made brief journeys south, hoping to find what they left behind. Many returned north again, met with destroyed homes, uncertainty and a reality that still doesn’t feel safe. For others, going back hasn’t been possible. Their homes are gone. This is what displacement looks like. Not one journey, but many. Back and forth, between hope and loss. People across Lebanon are still trying to cope with the consequences of war. Please don’t forget them.

A Russian drone attack hit residential buildings in Dnipro, Ukraine, yesterday. This is yet another strike in a war that continues through the depths of winter. With temperatures dropping to –15°C, families are left facing destroyed homes with life-threatening needs. UNHCR and our partner Mission Proliska were on site immediately, providing blankets, emergency repair kits and psychosocial support to people traumatized by the attack. As attacks continue and winter tightens its grip, needs are rising fast. If you can, please help:

The return and forced returns of Afghans from Pakistan were a crisis in itself. Little did those returning know… many were walking straight into an earthquake zone. Your support can bring a glimmer of hope to Afghan families:

The Sudan Refugee Response is less than 10% funded and one of the world's worst protection crisis. That means fewer clinics, classrooms and protection services - when they’re needed most. 🆘 Share. Donate. Advocate.

500,000 people have now fled Sudan due to conflict. They are being generously hosted by neighbouring countries with the will to help but without the resources to do so. High Commissioner Filippo Grandi spoke with BBC News (UK) this #WorldRefugeeDay and urged for additional international support.

An Israeli airstrike hit here in Lebanon. This is what remains. Homes destroyed. Lives shattered. Civilians are not a target. They must be protected.

From fleeing to rebuilding. High Commissioner Barham Salih's first official visit included a stop in Farchana, Chad. There he saw hope. There, Sudanese refugees aren't just finding safety, they're finding opportunity and dignity.
