2024 Impact Report: Response to New Emergencies and Protracted Crises

This report highlights UNHCR’s humanitarian response throughout 2024, a year marked by turmoil and unprecedented levels of displacement for the twelfth consecutive year. New crises unfolded and unresolved ones continued to deepen. From delivering lifesaving aid in new emergencies—such as escalating hostilities in Lebanon, the overthrow of Syria’s former government, gang violence in Haiti, and widespread flooding across Africa, Asia and Latin America—to addressing protracted crises in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Myanmar, Sudan, Ukraine, as well as mixed refugee and migrant movements through the Darien, UNHCR remained a steadfast presence, protecting and supporting millions of displaced people globally.
