On 20th June every year - as designated by the UN as World Refugee Day - the world celebrates the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home country to escape conflict or persecution.

In line with this year's theme, "Solidarity with Refugees", the World Health Organisation is putting emphasis on the importance of building inclusive health systems and ensuring equitable care for refugees worldwide. 

UNHCR estimates that by mid-2023, over 110 million individuals worldwide were forcibly displaced, with 40% being children. 75% of these displaced individuals are hosted in low- and middle-income countries.

Maryam Srour, Field Communications Manager at Médecins Sans Frontières in Lebanon shares first-hand insights on what she sees on-the-ground, immediate concerns that need to be tackled and challenges behind lending a helping hand to the refugee crisis.
