On #OlderPersonsDay, we honour older #Palestine Refugees.
Having lived through decades of conflict and displacement, many continue to face hardship and suffering.
UNRWA provides healthcare, education, and social services to support them in their daily lives. |
Everyone benefits from the wisdom of older people. They have much to teach about navigating uncertainty, resolving conflict & building solidarity across generations.
On #OlderPersonsDay, let’s build a world where people of every age can live with respect, security & opportunity.
Today we salute our elders - the living libraries of our nation, the custodians of wisdom and resilience. On #OlderPersonsDay, I reaffirm that SA’s future must be anchored in their dignity, inclusion and guidance.

On #OlderPersonsDay, we celebrate the older generation of Palestine refugees.
They are custodians of collective Palestinian memory, identity & culture. They are icons of resilience thru the long journey of Palestine refugees, from ongoing displacement to conflict to occupation. |
A new report highlights a flagrant lack of data on older persons. Closing the gap with better data collection methods is critical to give older persons a voice. Read more ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/

The elderly are more vulnerable to disasters.
As weather-related hazards become more frequent and intense, we must make sure their needs are considered and no one is left behind.

We need more inclusive, equitable and age-friendly societies. In a year that has seen terrible harm done to older people, we must #BuildBackBetter to advance their rights and dignity – UN Human Rights Chief on #OlderPersonsDay.
