Donate now to support medical protection to displaced families.
The health of those forced to flee is a major priority for UNHCR. Among forcibly displaced populations in developing countries, the top five killers of children under the age of five are malaria, malnutrition, measles, diarrhoea, and respiratory tract infections.
Most refugees are remarkably resilient and are able to move on despite their distressing experiences. We provide counselling and other psychosocial support including physical rehabilitation support to people forced to flee who need such help. Our response is critical when social structures and essential services have broken down.
Please donate now to save lives today.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is a global organization working to save lives, protect rights and build a better future for refugees, internally displaced communities and stateless people. We work to ensure that everybody has the right to seek asylum and find refuge from violence or persecution.
