June the 20th marked the annual World Refugee Day. And this year the statistics are more troubling than ever - 2024 marked a new record - with almost 130 million people across the world displaced, everywhere from Gaza to Myanmar, Sudan to Venezuela. Last year the UN's Refugee Agency, the UNHCR spent nearly $5bn dollars - less than half of what was needed, thanks largely to governments around the world cutting back on their aid budgets.
To discuss the growing crisis, on this edition of The Agenda, Juliet Mann is joined by Matthew Saltmarsh - Head of News and Media at the UNHCR, Sudan expert and CEO of African Stream, Ahmed Kabello and Dr.Ruvi Ziegler, Associate Professor in International Refugee Law at the University of Reading.
