On 20 June WHO joins the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) – the UN Refugee Agency – and partners in marking World Refugee Day. This year’s campaign is all about health inclusion and solutions for refugees and their host communities. 

Around the world, over 100 million people are forcibly displaced. This includes over 8 million people – mainly children, women and older people – who have fled Ukraine since February 2022 and over 3.6 million Syrians living in Türkiye, many of whom were affected by the 2023 earthquakes.
