All Nobel prize winners deserve our admiration — we at UNHCR wish to congratulate in particular Omar Yaghi, who was awarded the #Nobel prize for chemistry yesterday and who grew up in Jordan in a Palestinian refugee family from Gaza.
Respect.

Migration &displacement shape mental health. Healing should not be a luxury, it is a basic human need. Systems must be prepared to provide safe, accessible and culturally-sensitive care.
Thank you @ahmedhankir for sharing your lived experience & inspiring action!

More people than ever now live outside their birth country. 🌍
Some migrate.
Some are forced to flee.
Each journey leaves its mark, shaping distinct #MentalHealth needs.
Equitable, safe, and accessible #HealthForAll is a right, not a privilege.
Professor @ahmedhankir highlights what must change so no one is left behind.

Thank you #ANENVAC2025 team for spotlighting the need to include refugees & migrants in vaccine research, policy and planning. Many face major barriers to access- achieving #HealthForAll means equitable strategies that leave no one behind.

Thanks #WHS2025 & #Lancet for stressing the climate change, migration & health intersections. The estimated 1.2 billion ppl who may face climate-related displacement by 2050 confront rising health risks. Meeting their needs demands integrated, rights-based responses #HealthForAll

"No woman should be forced to choose between her safety and her right to healthcare. A mother and child’s survival, health and legal identity should not depend on migration status."
