Humanitarian responses to internal displacement are often too slow and not joined up. But there are clear and effective steps that can be taken to better support those affected by internal displacement – learn more in these new findings 👉 buff.ly/3PzRTd4

...the UN must not only perform well, but must be governed effectively ... have the right resources. Underneath all of this lies one thing: trust. And yet, building trust must start with UN organisations becoming trustworthy – it is all interconnected.

Listen to the testimonies of these women and children whose only open shelters were burnt down at the command of the UNHCR.
In Tripoli, Libya , newly arrived refugees from the Sudan’s conflict suffers the unimaginable as the @UNHCRLibya kicks them here and there.
We have sent so many communications to the UNHCR flagging the dire conditions of these women and children but they have served us with a complete negligence.

I cannot continue to hear the rubbish “wage-price spiral” it’s quite obvious we are in a profits-price spiral.
Super market bosses and the richest people in the country are getting wealthier while ordinary people getting poorer: It is not our wages that are the problem. #r4today
