Each year on 20 June, the world celebrates the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home country to escape conflict or persecution. The 2023 theme of World Refugee Day is “hope away from home.” Bas Timmer and Mike Brady through the Sheltersuit Foundation and ShelterLab help companies to find innovative solutions to help protect unsheltered people incl. refugees from the elements, whilst the search for a more permanent solution continues. #UNHCR #peoplehelpingpeople #unshelteredmoments

Today is World Refugee Day. Every day, all over the world, people are forced to leave their home country in search of a safer life for themselves and their families. They leave to escape war, persecution and other serious human rights violations. Under the Refugee Quota Programme Aotearoa New Zealand welcomes 1,500 refugees a year. This does not include the hundreds of people in Aotearoa granted refugee status after seeking asylum here or those still waiting to be granted refugee status. Here we have compiled some resources to help you learn more about the experiences of former and current refugees here in Aotearoa, and the unique and significant contributions they make to society. https://lnkd.in/g6666rdj

The history of World Refugee Day dates back to December 4, 2000, when the United Nations General Assembly established it to honor the courage, strength, and resilience of refugees around the world. Since then, it has been observed annually on June 20th to raise awareness about the millions of people who are forced to flee their homes due to conflict, persecution, or violence. World Refugee Day serves as a reminder of the importance of supporting refugees and finding solutions to address the root causes of displacement. It is a day to show solidarity with refugees and to advocate for their rights and well-being. How will you stand with refugees today?

People will need to be resettled since Gaza will be uninhabitable for 7-10 years to come and Gazans belong there. Displaced Palestinians will have no other option than to temporarily move to Israel. The point is that nobody is waiting for a Palestinian exodus and that the Gazans want to stay where they belong. The only alternative scenario is that part of the displaced Gazans temporarily move to Israel, still their homeland, for example to the West Bank with the (illegal) Jewish settlers moving back to Israel. This will give Palestinian people greater security that they can return after Gaza is rebuilt. The problem is that long-term separating people brings the great risk that new walls will be built and that no peacebuilding takes place. There will be no sustainable peace and a new cycle of violence as long as there is no interaction as equals between the both sides, this is why I propose a "confederation" of autonomous communities spread over the entire territory instead, like in Canaan in the past. Very utopic for now, but maybe a target for the future. www.canaan.community www.pax.ngo
