Help families survive extreme weather and hunger
In places like Malawi, Kenya, and South Sudan, crops are failing and entire communities are being uprooted.
Without food, clean water, or shelter, families are struggling to survive.
UNHCR is on the ground before, during, and after disaster strikes. We build defences before floods hit. We deliver food, water, and shelter in emergencies. And we help families rebuild through farming, fishing, and small businesses.
We don’t give up. And we won’t leave people to face climate disasters alone. Are you with us? Donate now.
Please consider making a monthly donation. Your regular support helps us prepare for every storm, drought, or crisis to come.

DATA AND STATISTICS
UNHCR annual Global Trends report 2024
UNHCR's Global Trends report presents key statistical trends and the latest numbers of refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced and stateless persons.
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.
