“One of the greatest privileges to work with UNHCR is to straddle the boundaries between aid and diplomacy. To help refugees and, in so doing, help open doors to peace when peace seems impossible.”

Winter emergency appeal
As temperatures plummet around the world, devastatingly, so is global humanitarian funding, making this winter even more treacherous for refugees.
Families are returning to Syria to find homes reduced to rubble, while others in Jordan and Lebanon live in poor housing with no heating. People in Ukraine have seen their lives and dreams ripped apart, and they need protection, safety, and shelter. While in Afghanistan – where the country has been ravaged by decades of conflict, economic collapse, and deadly earthquakes – millions of people have returned from Iran and Pakistan, many not by choice.
Supplies are running low, while temperatures drop even lower. With your support, we can provide the aid that families need the most.
