3. SOUNDBITE (English) Filippo Grandi, High Commissioner for Refugees, United Nations:
“There are today 123 million displaced people in the world. People who have had to flee violence, persecution, conflict, conflicts like the one in Lebanon where the devastation is catastrophic and where, like in Gaza, a desperately needed cease fire does not materialise.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Filippo Grandi, High Commissioner for Refugees, United Nations:
“More than 11 million Sudanese have been displaced since the start of the war 18 months ago. Three million have now left the country. In the last month alone. 60,000 new refugees arrived in Chad, adding to those already hosted there, in Egypt, the Central African Republic, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Uganda and Libya. The list of countries hosting Sudanese refugees keeps growing and will continue to grow unless we're able to bring urgently some relief to those who have been forced to flee and to those who welcome them.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Filippo Grandi, High Commissioner for Refugees, United Nations:
“Left unresolved - as we observed in the Middle East - these conflicts will continue to spread uncontrollably with unforeseen consequences for all. Left to their own devices, refugees and others will move onward to find safety. In recent years, as climate change and economic hardship combine with conflict and persecution to push people to flee, we have seen refugees and migrants move together along the same routes in what we call mixed flows. Addressing these movements has become a particularly vexing problem for states along the displacement routes.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Filippo Grandi, High Commissioner for Refugees, United Nations:
“In this context of non-stop humanitarian emergencies, of insufficient humanitarian funding, and where displacement is increasingly protracted in time with host community increasingly affected, we need to rethink our approaches to refugee displacement to make them more sustainable. And the path to sustainability lies through greater inclusion of displaced people in the communities that host them - to the extent possible, and until such time when they can return home safely and in dignity. It means also investing and strengthening national systems for example, health, education, skills training, employment, banking and so on, so that both host communities and refugees can benefit.”
