Our expert panel discusses the humanitarian crisis
Reminder to register: Australia for UNHCR’s Briefing on the Ukraine Emergency
Dear Supporter, Please join us this Thursday for a special online briefing on the unfolding humanitarian situation in Ukraine. The conflict has now displaced over 10 million people, which is almost a quarter of the population. Date: Thursday 7 April 2022 Time: 4pm AEST Ticket price: Free entry Webinar link: Provided with registration confirmation email
This event will feature a panel of speakers who have witnessed the crisis in Ukraine and neighbouring countries first-hand, including: • Shabia Mantoo, UNHCR Global Spokesperson, who is currently deployed to Poland where over 2.3 million refugees have arrived from Ukraine • Omar Dehen, journalist with SBS World News, who recently returned from reporting on the Poland-Ukraine border In just one month, the war in Ukraine has triggered mass displacement, with more than four million people fleeing the country, and at least 6.5 million more internally displaced – many cut off from power, water and humanitarian support. Our panel will discuss the challenges refugees and internally displaced people are facing, and how UNHCR is delivering essential protection and aid across the region in often challenging circumstances. This event is part of our regular online Frontline Club, which brings together supporters to hear from UNHCR humanitarian workers and experts sharing their insights. If you have any question, please contact our events team via email. I look forward to seeing you there. Yours sincerely,
