World Refugee Day

20th June 2021

“Together we Heal, Learn and Shine”

The Covid-19 Pandemic continues to cause a humanitarian disaster of colossal proportions. RASNZ would like to highlight the plight of 79.5 million refugees and asylum seekers who have been forcibly displaced, and are among the most exposed and vulnerable peoples to Covid-19 infection. With half of all refugee groups under the age of 18 years, the impact on children and young people is disproportionate. RASNZ wants to acknowledge that for people fleeing war and persecution, living in unsafe conditions with little or no healthcare and vaccination options is intolerable. We are calling on economically developed countries with large stockpiles of Covid-19 vaccine to actively support equitable distribution in the least developed countries.
