June 20 marked a poignant reminder of our shared humanity on World Refugee Day. Amid a record 130 million people displaced worldwide – from Gaza to Sudan – the numbers are staggering 😢. In a compelling episode of The Agenda, Juliet Mann sat down with leading experts to tackle this crisis head on.
The discussion featured Matthew Saltmarsh, Head of News and Media at the UNHCR, Sudan expert Ahmed Kabello, and international law specialist Dr Ruvi Ziegler. They explored how vital funding is falling short, with the UNHCR spending nearly $5 billion last year – less than half of what is urgently needed. Governments around the world have trimmed their aid budgets, leaving millions in challenging circumstances.
With passionate debate and real-world insights, the experts called for smarter policies and better global cooperation to help ease the humanitarian burden. Their message is clear: innovative, united strategies are the key to creating sustainable solutions for displaced communities worldwide. Stay informed, get inspired, and join the conversation on building a better future 🌍🙌.
