Hello Everyone!

The following news approach a very interesting issue regarding unaccompanied child refugee resettlement. Reflect about the possible ways to deal with situations like this. Just think about the different ways refugee status and conditions could be addressed.

Would this be a viable long-term solution? Can developed countries in partnership with UNHCR provide shelter and education for more children in other refugee camps? Could these measures be applied to adults as well?

- Stay tuned!

Hello again,

So I was flipping through the World Health Organization website and found this podcast. It explains the process and difficulties of providing pharmaceuticals and medical care to victims of the recent floods in Pakistan. Access to pharmaceuticals becomes exceedingly difficult in post-disaster communities, and this podcast explains these challenges. I think you will find the podcast helpful in your research for Topic A.
