Alongside the trauma of displacement, young refugees face many threats to their wellbeing: exclusion from education & healthcare, limited access to food, water & shelter, and the risk of violence.
On #WorldRefugeeDay we highlight their stories. childfundalliance.org/2023/0…

From Idlib to Europe, innocent people pay again the price of the failure of diplomacy, the unwillingness of states to cooperate with each other, and the political use of refugees and migrants.
Protecting borders without protecting people will not solve any refugee crisis. – at Geneva, Switzerland
