Resettlement of refugees from Bhutan reaches 100,000 milestone
|
The UN refugee agency and the International Organization for Migration today marked a major milestone in the resettlement of refugees from Bhutan in Nepal, with 100,000 people having been referred for resettlement to third countries since 2007. Nearly 80,000 of them have started new lives in eight different countries. “Making 100,000 submissions and reaching nearly 80,000 departures are incredible achievements in the history of this refugee programme and for UNHCR,” said Diane Goodman, UNHCR Acting Representative in Nepal.
