As humanitarian support to refugees from Ukraine enters its third year, 19 humanitarian organizations and UN in Bulgaria are appealing for US$ 38.6 million to support 70,000 refugees from Ukraine in Bulgaria in 2024. @Refugees @SedaKuzucu3 unhcr.org/bg/17063-19-humani…

Today 19 Humanitarian Organizations and UN agencies united their efforts to work together for the wellbeing of Ukrainian refugees in Bulgaria in 2024 in support of the government’s response and leadership, as part of the Regional Refugee Response Plan for the Ukraine situation.

Excellent ideas today on UNHCR-@AUBGedu joint activities to promote socio-economic #refugeeinclusion in #Bulgaria, enhancing access to higher learning and fostering self-reliance. @UNHCRPartners @UNHCR_Education
