00:02Almost 2.4 million refugees will need to be resettled next year.
00:07The United Nations said on Tuesday at a time when numerous countries such as the United States have slashed refugee
00:13admissions.
00:14The UN Refugee Agency warned of a shortage of options for refugees who cannot return home because of war, violence
00:21and persecution and face risks in their country of asylum.
00:25The UNHCR urged to expand resettlement, increase refugees' quotas and accelerate processing.
00:332.37 million people from 43 countries of origin and living in 76 countries of asylum would need resettling elsewhere
00:41next year, according to a UNHCR's annual report.
00:45Afghan refugees are the largest group in need of resettlement.
00:49They are followed by people from South Sudan, Sudan and Syria, as well as Rohingya refugees from Myanmar living in
00:56vast camps in Bangladesh.
00:58The number of refugees who need to be resettled is down 6% from last year's report.
01:03It was partially due to Afghans returning from Iran and Pakistan under adverse circumstances and voluntary returns to Syria following
01:12the overthrow of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in December 2024.
01:17Allah ma'am.
01:19Allah ma'am.
