World Refugee Day
Stand with those
who have left
everything behind
Today, 108.4 million people have been forcibly displaced, seeking safety and shelter in unfamiliar lands. Find out about the world’s refugee crisis, what we are doing to take action, and how you can support us to help refugees around the world.
Many refugees spend years, even decades, living in temporary camps, lacking access to basic necessities and opportunities for a better future.
More than half of all refugees are children, robbed of their homes, education, and a sense of safety.
Every minute, 20 people are forced to flee their homes due to conflict or persecution. Less than 1% can resettle in a safe and permanent home.
How we support refugees
We work tirelessly to bring hope, healing, and relief to refugees in some of the most challenging environments. We have witnessed first-hand the resilience and strength of individuals fleeing unimaginable circumstances.

Healing the sick
“When the diarrhoea started, my son became so fragile. I was terrified when I saw his little eyes start closing…he was dying. Thanks to Medair, he received the healthcare he needed, and we were given food each day, which helped him regain his strength and recover.”
Restoring hope
“We have experienced a lot of sad situations, and with Medair’s help, I have learned how to talk about what I have lost and better cope with the challenges I face.”
Providing clean water
“Safe clean water is the essence of life. Knowing I can access it here in the emergency shelter, without having to go through the trouble of walking long distances, is truly a blessing.”
Helping people return home
“When it was safe to come home, Medair helped me install doors and windows and provided us with a battery and lights. It’s not dark anymore. The smell of mould is gone. My children are not as restless as they used to be.”
