UNHCR: Who We Are
UNHCR HK聯合國難民署
Description
For those whose lives have been uprooted and torn apart by conflict or natural disaster, UNHCR is there to help. This is our story. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) was established in December 1950. The Second World War left millions of refugees far from home and governments in need of assistance to coordinate the crisis. UNHCR was created to help, with 34 employees in 1951. The founders thought their task would only take three years, but new conflicts broke out and more families were forced to flee their homes. Seven decades later, the work of protecting refugees, the forcibly displaced and stateless people continues.
