We lead international action to protect refugees, forcibly displaced communities and stateless people.
Emergencies:
When people are forced to flee their homes by conflict or persecution, UNHCR is there to save lives.
We are currently responding to new emergencies and protracted crises in multiple countries, working to keep people safe while they are forcibly displaced from their homes. We are there throughout the initial crisis and remain long after the headlines have moved on.

"We work tirelessly to protect and assist people forced to flee conflict and persecution, wherever they are and whenever they need us most."
