REFUGEES
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was established on December 14, 1950 by the United Nations General Assembly. (UNHCR.org) Today the UNHCR assists over 20 million persons worldwide. (source: www.unhcr.org)
Here are some facts provided by the UNHCR about refugees, internally displaced people, asylum-seekers and stateless people around the world in 2006:
9.9 million (not including 4.3 million Palestinian refugees cared for by another U.N. agency, UNRWA). This was a 14 percent rise on 2005, due mainly to 1.2 million Iraqi refugees and a revised estimate of the refugee population in the United States. The Iraqi refugee total has since risen to 2.2 million.
70,000 displaced persons apply to immigrate to the U.S. each year. Of those 70,000, approximately 50,000 are accepted.
The American Refugee Committee works with refugees, displaced people, and those at risk to help them survive crises and rebuild lives of dignity, health, security and self-sufficiency. ARC will set the highest standard for helping restore and enhance the dignity and self-sufficiency of refugees, displaced people and those at risk. RC works in 7 countries around the world helping victims of war and civil conflict rebuild their lives. ARC programs in Africa and Asia provide health care, clean water, shelter repair, legal aid, trauma counseling, microcredit, community development services, and repatriation assistance to three million people, annually. ARC bases its relationship with uprooted peoples on mutual respect and a compassionate exchange of knowledge and values. You can help: arcrelief.org.
