World Refugee Day - UNHCR Israel

Conflict and persecution have forced more than 82 million people around the world to flee their homes.

This World Refugee Day, we call on communities and governments to include them – in health care, education and sport. Only by working together can we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Together we heal, learn and shine.

“Throughout this challenging time, we have...seen a connectedness that transcends borders. Ordinary people have stepped up to help. Host communities...have continued to demonstrate a remarkable welcome.”

–Filippo Grandi, UN High Commissioner for Refugees
