About United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)

UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees), a part of the UN, works solely with refugees and issues related to forced migration. In addition to gathering data and statistics on forced migration, UNHCR also provides emergency assistance such as shelter, household items, healthcare, food, clean water, and more. They also facilitate the processes of placing refugees in third countries or returning them to their homes when it is safe. In these situations, they help provide transportation, assistance, and income-generating projects. UNHCR also develops campaigns and raises awareness about refugees and the challenges they face.
