UNHCR has regained access to two refugee camps in Ethiopia’s Tigray region for the first time since conflict began in November. Supplies and services were cut off for more than two months, forcing Eritrean refugees to use water from a nearby creek for drinking, cooking and washing.
Australian architect Phoebe Goodwin works to shelter refugees and displaced people fleeing violence and conflict. Over the past six years, she has seen the resilience and innovation of refugees who are determined to rebuild their lives.
Refugees around the world have shown us what it means to be resilient. They have stepped up to provide healthcare, boost wellness, support their communities and keep us inspired.
If 2020 taught us anything, it's the power of compassion and kindness when times get tough. Together, we provided critical supplies, shelter, healthcare, nutrition and clean water to refugees. This is the difference you made.
