Winter emergency appeal
As temperatures plummet around the world, so is global humanitarian funding making this winter even more treacherous for refugees.
Families are returning to Syria to find their 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, millions of people have returned from Iran and Pakistan - many not by choice - to a country that has been ravaged by decades of conflict, economic collapse, and deadly earthquakes.
Supplies are running low, while temperatures drop even lower. With your support, we can provide the aid that families need the most.

DATA AND STATISTICS
UNHCR Mid-Year Trends report 2025
UNHCR's 2025 Mid-Year Trends analyses changes and trends in forced displacement during the first six months of 2025. The report provides key statistics on refugees, asylum-seekers, internally displaced people and stateless people, as well as their main host countries and countries of origin.
If ongoing conflicts remain unresolved and the risks of new ones erupting are not reined in, one aspect that will define the twenty-first century will be the continuously growing numbers of people forced to flee and the increasingly dire options available to them.
