The UN is bracing for an increase in refugees after the earthquake in Turkey and Syria and the world is looking to Canada for more help.
“Our biggest concern is that when the spotlight is no longer on the earthquake response, even though the tremors may be gone, the needs will still be there,” Clements said.
“Some of our most underfunded programs in the world were part of the Syria situation,” Clements said. Lebanon was years into political deadlock when a large part of its main port exploded in 2020. Inflation has rendered poor nearly all refugees in the country, as well as many Lebanese citizens, Clements said.She noted that Lebanese people are increasingly shifting from hosting refugees from neighbouring states to fleeing their own country on rickety boats, with the number of deaths at sea rising threefold from 2021 to 2022.
“It’s fallen largely off the radar of the international community, and still hugely in need of humanitarian support,” Clements said. She argues UNHCR programming has restored dignity to people across the globe by resolving their immediate needs and empowering them to take up employment.Article content
