#UNHCR continues to lobby countries to increase resettlement quotas for refugees particularly during this period when current rates point to one of the lowest levels witnessed in almost two decades.

[UNHCR Somalia @UNHCRSom]

Resettlement forms part of #UNHCR's durable solutions for refugees. However, only a fraction of refugees are resettled from 🇸🇴 and globally every year due to limited number of quotas offered by states. Want to learn more? 👇👇👇

We are grateful to KOICA for the generous funds that will go a long way in empowering refugees and displaced families across Somalia.

[UNHCR Somalia @UNHCRSom]
