Here are stats about refugees on World Refugee Day! General: Tragically, the trends in 2019 are even more sobering, The number of displaced people (refugees and internally displaced) in the world increased from 70.8 million in 2018 to 79.5 million people at the end of 2019. This is 1% of the world's population. The increase from 25.9 million refugees in 2018 to 26 million refugees in 2019 was not large, but we are still talking 26 million people! What this year's report emph...asizes is that fewer displaced people will find durable solutions. Many more people will live in limbo for longer. Resettlement: Roughly 0.5 per cent of the world’s refugees were offered resettlement in 2019. UNHCR estimates that more than 1.4 million refugees need to be resettled, an 80 per cent increase since 2011. At the end of the decade, there was only one resettlement spot available for every 20 vulnerable refugees in need. Canada and Resettlement: Canada continues to be the world leader in the resettlement of refugees. Canada resettled 30,100 refugees in 2019. However, in Canada, almost 3 in 5 (58%) resettlement arrivals during the decade were conducted through private sponsorship resettlement schemes.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Naomi House has chosen to postpone the annual Naomi House Dessert Night that was scheduled for Friday, April 17th. We will work on plans for another date or possibly an online campaign. Thank you for your care for refugees and refugee claimants. Please remember our residents in your times of prayer and for all refugees throughout the world that are deeply effected by this worldwide crisis. #naomihouse
