"The war in Ukraine puts the plight of refugees and displaced people back in
the headlines. From February 24, more than 5 million people have crossed
Ukraine’s borders. A further 7.7 million are estimated to have been been
displaced internally.
Sadly, these are only the most recent additions to the flow of refugees,
displaced people and other forced migrants globally in 2022. Many will have had
limited access to health care, safe drinking water or nutritious food.
Over the past 25 years, we have worked to deliver essential health care in
wartime, natural disasters and epidemics. We have been on the ground in
situations of forced displacement in Darfur, Myanmar, Thailand, Uganda,
Afghanistan, Syria, South Sudan and Colombia. Survivors have taught us about
their experiences, abilities and needs.
As humanitarian workers and health researchers, we can draw lessons from past
events on what works, and what doesn’t, when dealing with mass displacements
and forced migration."
