Refugees need protection. Host countries need support. Responsibility must be shared. As HC @BarhamSalih concludes his first official visit to Egypt, he leaves with a clear message: solidarity is essential to support @Refugees and the communities that welcome them.

HC @BarhamSalih meets families at UNHCR Egypt’s registration center. 3,000 people walk through these doors—every single day. Forced from their homes, survival is their only choice. Until peace allows return, they deserve protection, dignity, and hope.

From being born in a refugee camp to scoring at a World Cup. A message to millions. ⭐️ Nestory Irankunda’s journey from displacement to becoming Australia’s youngest #FIFAWorldCup goalscorer shows what’s possible when hope, talent and opportunity come together. 🌍⚽

I sat down with Ali Hamadi—fellow Iraqi, fellow refugee—now set to represent Iraq at its first World Cup in 40 years. When he fled as a child, this moment would have felt unimaginable. Life can take us farther than we ever expect—and sometimes brings our stories full circle.

Grateful to the EU and, in particular, @EUHomeAffairs for their continued commitment to supporting forcibly displaced people. Your sustained engagement and solidarity make a real difference in advancing protection, dignity, and durable solutions for those forced to flee.

Egypt is hosting many refugees from neighbouring countries. This is a shared interest and responsibility for us. I spoke about the current situation with (NGO) partners. We stand with Egypt to promote a solid asylum system that protects refugees and assists host communities.

When an emergency hits, UNHCR is ready to respond - no matter when or where. To reach all those in need, even in the most remote areas, UNHCR maintains stocks of life-saving emergency items and has a global network of suppliers.

Productive meeting with H.E. Aidan O'Hara, Ambassador of Ireland. Grateful for Ireland’s strong support to UNHCR in Egypt, particularly on durable solutions, and for its generous and flexible contributions at the global level - all vital to refugee protection.
