World Refugee Day – 20 June

“GENEVA, June 20 (UNHCR) – A UNHCR report released today reveals deep imbalance in international support for the world’s forcibly displaced, with a full four-fifths of the world’s refugees being hosted by developing countries – and at a time of rising anti-refugee sentiment in many industrialized ones.” http://www.unhcr.org/4dfb66ef9.html

Rounded to the nearest whole number, 44 million people are now forcibly displaced worldwide.  Within this number are 15.4 million refugees.  Visit UNHCR’s website for a greater understanding and learn what you can do to help, just by doing 1 Thing.
