UNHCR & @UNMigration mourn the latest tragedy in the Atlantic, with at least 50 people reportedly dead or missing at sea trying to reach the Canary Islands.
Safe and regular pathways must be accessible and inclusive to save lives of refugees & migrants. Our hearts go out to all those affected.
Our extremely talented multimedia colleagues at UNHCR, @Refugees have produced an excellent piece for @TIME that provides a unique insight into the Sudan crisis - including context, human stories and UNHCR's continuted commitment to the refugee cause.
Please give it a watch!

Après plus de 10 ans de séparation, il a retrouvé sa mère et a été accueilli par sa belle-grand-mère à l'aéroport de Bruxelles.

Over 100,000 refugees have now arrived in Armenia from Karabakh.

UNHCR and other humanitarian partners are stepping up their support to the Armenian authorities, but international help is very urgently required. – at Geneva, Switzerland
