The Irpin community continues to feel strong international support - today we were visited by two foreign delegations.

In the morning, we met members of the Defense Committee of the Riksdag of Sweden.

In the afternoon, the @UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons., Paula Gaviria Betancourt @PaulaGaviriaB , visited Irpin.

I want to sincerely thank our international partners for their attention to the reconstruction of the Irpin community and military assistance to Ukraine. Through various programs, the @UN provides us with building materials, directly takes over objects for reconstruction, and helps with the dismantling and dismantling of rubble. Sweden announced a new 14th package of military aid a month ago. So now the sum of the Scandinavian country's payments to Ukraine will amount to more than 2 billion dollars. Thank you and let's continue to work on the reconstruction and victory of Ukraine!

Today armed men attacked a camp for displaced people in Lala, Ituri Province. They killed at least 45 people including women and children; 12 were burned alive in their shelters.

Every day in Eastern DRC civilians are displaced, raped, murdered.

No further comments are needed.

A remarkable week of sharing of experiences among States on implementing internal displacement laws & policies. Thanks to the participants who brought so much knowledge and passion, the amazing expert facilitators, @IIHL_Sanremo for hosting & @Refugees for making it possible.

#InternalDisplacement is a key development challenge, especially in the context of rising food insecurity, conflict & overlapping crises.

New global figures to be published tomorrow by our partners @IDMC_Geneva in their #GRID2023 report.

[Paula Gaviria @PaulaGaviriaB]

This important #GRID2023 report by @IDMC_Geneva shows the highest number of internally displaced people ever recorded. This means millions of lives upended. More needs to be done to prevent forced displacement and provide durable solutions for #IDPs.
