Every refugee deserves safety, dignity and support. Yet, funding cuts are limiting support for Congolese refugees like Chancelline. More than 71,000 Congolese refugees have crossed into Burundi since January, the largest influx in decades. You can help us respond to this emergency.

UNHCR is sounding the alarm: over 250,000 Afghans have returned from Iran and Pakistan this April, many in dire conditions. With rising protection risks, especially for women and girls, minorities, and human rights defenders, we are seeking $71 million to deliver urgent assistance and support safe and dignified returns and reintegration. Forced returns are unsustainable and destabilizing.

What does it really mean to not be scared even as the windows shake and missiles fall nearby? In today’s #StaffSpotlight, read this raw and powerful reflection from our colleague Elisabeth working for UNHCR in Ukraine, shedding light on the daily risks faced by humanitarian workers and the strength it takes to keep going. #HumanitariansAtWork
Are you scared? Working and living in Ukraine, this is a question I’m receiving quite often from friends and family abroad. My answer is usually no. And it’s true. But … … there is no doubt that the situation gets very real, when Kyiv is under attack, and I can hear the loud explosions, sometimes so close that the windows do shake a little. And even though, the aerial attacks are much more frequent in other parts of the country, and I do feel protected by the Ukrainian air defense, it definitely leaves an impact. As right now writing this, sheltering in my bathroom, after I was woken up by the air alert, and as Russian missiles, rockets and drones are being shot down over the capital. … I also remember being quite shook up, a few months back, when I was on my way south to Odesa on mission, and the hotel I was booked to stay in, was impacted in a missile attack on the historical city center. Just thinking that had I taken the earlier train, as I had considered, I could have been in one of the hotel rooms, when it happened. It just makes you realize that the risks are indeed very real. However, the danger and risks for my colleagues in the field in the frontline regions, the committed and amazing staff of our Ukrainian partner NGOs and other humanitarians, who are on the ground every day to deliver aid to people in need, is something that really does need highlighting! Just the other day, on Easter Sunday, a staff from our partner Proliska was evacuating an older couple from a frontline community in Donetsk region, when the vehicle was attacked by a Russian drone. Luckily no lives were lost, but there were injuries. And tragically, this is not a stand-alone incident. We have witnessed other incidents, when our partners’ staff have been injured or under attack when they were delivering aid or just doing their jobs as humanitarians. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, 25 aid workers have been killed and 86 injured in Ukraine, according to the latest figures. A clear violation of international law. So while I’m usually not scared, there is no doubt that being #HumanitariansAtWork can be dangerous. Here in Ukraine, and in many other places in the world. And this is just wrong!

No one expects to become a refugee. When the war forced Dr. Fatima to flee Sudan with her four children, she left behind a life she had worked so hard to build. They became refugees overnight. After finding safety in Chad, she received accreditation to continue her medical career here through the Mastercard Foundation–UNHCR partnership. Now she’s once again serving her community, reclaiming her identity, her dignity and her purpose. Today, we’re excited to announce that the Mastercard Foundation and UNHCR just announced a landmark $300 million strategic partnership, scaling up education and livelihood opportunities for refugees like Dr. Fatima and displaced youth across Africa.
