WORLD REFUGEE DAY - JUNE 20
Who is a refugee?
It can be an African family, victim of a savage civil war whose father was murdered, mother tortured, raped or set afire, infants naked, starving, diseased and dying; a family whose home was burned to the ground with every humble possession stolen or destroyed.
It can be a Turkish family left homeless by an earthquake and still, one year later after aid dries up and world attention turns elsewhere, going days without water and even longer without food.
It can be a New Orleans family whose grandmother died of dehydration in the heat waiting for rescue; whose income, food, water, job, healthcare, education and housing was swept away overnight by flood.
Anyone can become a refugee. All it takes is cutting off food, water, electricity and supply chain via earthquake, flood, storm or war to suddenly find ourselves traveling the unspeakable horrors of refugee road.
