Our refugee cookbook, Flavours of Hope, is now live! From Ukraine to Sierra Leone, each recipe was handpicked by a current or former refugee to give you a taste of their culture. Inside, you’ll find delicious recipes for Vietnamese pho, Syrian sweets and more. Our Ambassador, Janine Allis, founder of Boost Juice, is making a donation every time someone downloads the book. These funds will go towards UNHCR’s life-saving work, helping people flee conflict, disaster and persecution around the world. Get your free copy of the book today: https://lnkd.in/gY9iyi-Z

Airstrikes forced Hameeda and her grandson to flee their home in Lebanon. “I left at the last possible moment, when I lost all hope and knew I shouldn’t stay there,” she said. They found safety in a school that has been turned into a shelter in Beirut. “I hope this does not last long. I wish it would be over sooner rather than later.” Across Lebanon, UNHCR and it’s partners are providing critical support for families like Hameeda’s, distributing essentials like mattresses, blankets and kitchen sets to people displaced by the crisis.
