Our Work in Focus
A picture tells a thousand words. Therefore we regularly document our work and the life of the displaced people who have come to Central Europe to find a safe place. Some of our best photos are showcased here and on our Flickr Page.
UNHCR’s global photo library in Geneva has a further about 250,000 photos covering nearly all of the major displacements of the last 60 years. The images provide a comprehensive portrait of the lives of refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced and stateless people in all corners of the globe, as well as the work of the thousands of UN staff who have helped them.
UNHCR offers the use of its photos free to the media. Browse a selection of our best photo galleries here.
