World Refugee Day 2007 National Activities: Namibia

World Refugee Day 2007 National Activities: Namibia

20 June 2007

Kids play in a neighbourhood populated mostly by Iraqi refugees. Because refugees are not allowed to work in Syria, children often must take informal jobs to help support their families.

Identity cards for refugees were officially launched by a senior government official on 20 June at Osire Refugee Camp. To mark the occasion, 14 refugees received new identity cards.
