EU-High Level Committee Webinar on Internal Displacement

The webinar, organized by the European Union Delegation to Geneva, focused on the importance of delivering life-saving assistance and providing long-term support to internally displaced persons (IDPs) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Maimouna Al-Ammar, founding member and Programmes Officer, shared her personal experience as a displaced person, emphasizing the particular challenges faced by displaced children. She also discussed how local organizations respond to IDP needs in contexts like Syria, especially when international humanitarian assistance is limited due to lockdown measures and pre-existing restrictions.
