UN Refugee Agency

The UN Refugee Agency, officially known as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), is a global organization dedicated to protecting and supporting refugees and displaced people. It was established in 1950 to respond to the aftermath of World War II and now works in various crises around the world. The agency provides essential aid, such as shelter, food, and medical care, while also advocating for the rights of refugees. Its mission is to ensure that everyone can find safety, rebuild their lives, and ultimately return home or integrate into new communities if needed.
