UN: number of refugees in world exceeded 100 million

more than 100 million people were forced to leave their homes and look for refuge in other areas, cities and countries. With such words, the UN Secretary General Antoniu Guterres, General of the UN, spoke.

“This is not just a figure, these are women, men and children who, due to conflicts, persecution, hunger or natural disasters, had to quit everything and go in search of asylum. These are people who often find themselves in monstrous conditions, come across violence , operation and discrimination, ”said the head of the World Organization.

“Refugees are the best that is in the human spirit. They deserve support and solidarity, and not closed borders and opposition,” said the Secretary General.

The UN Head emphasized the need for more active international support for host countries, which will expand the immigrant access to quality education, decent work, healthcare, housing and social protection.
