UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, published its annual global trends report showing that the number of people forced to flee their homes reached an unprecedented 79.5 million in 2019. The organization is appealing for countries to find lasting solutions for displaced persons , including the Millions of children impacted globally.
” These staggering number of human displacement are unlike anything ,we have witnessed. Behind these dramatic numbers are multitude of individual crisis , marked by immense heartbreak, desperation and sacrifice, ” said Rema Jamous Imseis , UNHCR’s representative in Canada.
The report also shows a stark contrast between the growth in displacement and availability of solutions, highlighting diminishing prospects for refugees to return home, build new lives in neighboring host countries or resettle in third countries.
Canada once again came out as the world leader in the resettlement of refugees, ranked first among twenty six countries in 2019. Canada provided 30,082 vulnerable refugees with the opportunity to build a new life for themselves and their families. Including through its private sponsorship programme which accounted for 58% over the past ten years.
” We are saluting today the generosity of Canada and of Canadians in standing with refugees at a time of growing need,” Jamous Imseis said. ” This is the collective result of individual Canadians, civil society, local communities and the government working together and actively contributing to the protection of refugees in the world. In turn, Refugees have contributed significantly to Canada’s economic and social fabric.
“Resettlement can be a life saving solution for vulnerable refugees at this time of record displacement, and we look forward to working with Canada on supporting them to continue and grow their generosity.”
The annual increase , from a figure of 70.8 million at the end of 2018, is a result of new displacement particularly in Democratic Republic of Congo, the Sahel, Yemen and Syria.
