Filippo Grandi in Lampedusa: Honoring the Lost, Urging Action

Description

“Every single death is one death too many.” Over the year, hundreds of thousands of refugees have arrived in Lampedusa in search of safety. Despite heroic efforts from the coast guard, law enforcement, NGOs and the ongoing support of the local community, many lives have been tragically lost along the way. Now, funding cuts are putting even more lives at risk. An urgent plea from High Commissioner Filippo Grandi: Do not cut humanitarian and development assistance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Information for media: If you would like to use this video to communicate refugee stories or require B-Roll, transcripts, stills or much more information, please visit our media page: https://media.unhcr.org UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency, works to protect and assist those fleeing war and persecution.
