UNHCR warns about the stagnation of aid for refugees

  The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has warned that the aid crisis is increasing at a time when a large number of people are fleeing conflict, torture, human rights violations, climate change and extreme poverty. Conflicts have caused many people to leave their homes in large numbers. 110 million refugees and displaced people is the highest number in decades," Filippo Grandi, head of UNHCR, said when he opened the organization's annual meeting. The annual event began with a minute of silence to remember those who lost their lives in the recent earthquake in Afghanistan and the Israeli attack, two events that hit the two places on Saturday and had a devastating effect on millions more.

At the same time, the United Nations has expressed its concern about the large and unprecedented number of refugees in a report that has been addressed "Indictment Against the Current State of the World." Filippo Grandi, High Commissioner of the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) According to the report, approximately 110 million people around the world have been forced to leave their homes and places due to various reasons including wars and internal conflicts. In an environment of civil war in the current situation in Sudan, many families have been forced to leave their homes and residences, which had already caused serious problems due to the war between Russia and Ukraine, as well as the situation in Afghanistan. The United Nations has announced that the number of refugees or asylum seekers until the end of last year (2022) was 108 million and 4 lakh people.
