NAIROBI (June 20, 2016) -- As the world marks World Refugee Day, major global events are set to tax already-stretched-thin humanitarian resources, and this could lead to especially harmful impacts on children, warns World Vision. The closure of the world’s largest refugee camp, an ever-worsening crisis in Syria, and ongoing conflicts like South Sudan mean the number of displaced people around the world is likely to increase. This would add even more pressure on structures for humanitarian response, which are already facing unprecedented demand and inadequate funding. “The pressures on very vulnerable people to migrate from extreme hardship and conflict are, if anything worsening. We urgently need to do much more to help refugees - and especially children – by courageously addressing the underlying causes that lead to mass movements of people,” warned Francois Batalingaya, director of humanitarian operations for World Vision International.
