1/ Dear Sir I am writing to you with a heavy heart and a desperate plea for immediate assistance and protection for my children, who are registered refugees under UNHCR since 2019. As a political refugee, I fled Ethiopia due to severe security concerns and lack of protection, after being detained by Ethiopian national security agents. My children, who are survivors of human trafficking, have been living in a precarious situation without any assistance or protection from UNHCR since their registration. Despite multiple appeals for support, our requests have remained unaddressed, leaving my children vulnerable and deprived of their right to safety and education. It has been over nine months since UNICEF Egypt referred my case to UNHCR, but I have yet to receive any response. This prolonged silence and inaction have exacerbated our already dire situation. My children are no longer attending school, which is detrimental to their mental and emotional well-being. The trauma they have endured, coupled with the lack of stability and support, is having a severe impact on their development and future prospects.

I am reaching out to you today with a humble request. I have dedicated my career to the social sector and humanitarian work, having had the privilege of contributing to various organizations in roles ranging from Project Supervisor to Research Associate and Content Writer. With a robust background in research and project management, coupled with a strong proficiency in content writing—including reports, summaries, and various assignments—I am now in search of new opportunities (Remote/Office based). Despite my efforts in applying through various job portals such as Brightspyre, Glassdoor, Rozee.pk, and others, I have not yet received positive responses. The job market is indeed challenging at the moment, and I am keen to explore any possible leads or recommendations you might have.

Better pay attention to your agency in Iran as well. There’s no one to address refugees problems and questions. The number provided is always on reply and the guards at the gate always ask people to get an appointment online which is not possible. Anyway to get in touch with someone with authority inside the agency in Iran?!

Mr. Guterres, as Secretary-General of the United Nations, you are responsible for refugees. I am an old man with young children and out of education due to the bad situation. I contacted the United Nations in Riyadh and they hung up the phone in our faces. I sent to you and no one responded. What is the solution, sir, until we start resettlement?

Surely this is traumatizing, social services that support human rights should be left out of wrangles. So sad
