Refugee agency other working informants 3 years now and with units around for almost 8 years so well they did. Nice to have you dr great to have you in the stream tell our audience who you are and what you do. Hello good evening from islamabad pakistan and im the Country Program director for a light American Refugee Committee and we have been working with refugees in pakistan for now almost 18 years. Right down here and im till he it is extraordinary that we have you know live on the stream right now. And in kenya. Reassure me and that we are connecting with new life until he can tell everybody thank you out but he did. Say i think if imma make them stop the law. Giving him that up town. I am part of the it then at least who is. Actually based in kenya a narrow view but quite often a cut to the government if you come here in the fight on. Charity projects that is who i miss and its just about the support with oaks we i started this critically as i go and were starting our library for this but i think you know i also run out in your show that if you could mean it is well you know that one day i took it for long and it baku us about bite us. Until hes great to have he thank you so much and have threat does i want to stop listening with just setting the scene for when youre watching i can just me thank you approach its going to im going since this picture here that you shared with us here at the stream can you explain whats going on well. Yeah i think better have a pretty good picture because we are in in a camp here refugee camp in jordan and this campus calls at 3 and its on for about 80000 refugees its its actually one of the 1st camp there was set up at the beginning of the syria crisis so in 2012 and since then we were at one of the tents here on the syria crisis and we still had a very Huge Population of refugees live there its quite symbolic because it shows that 50 percent or about 60 percent of the population in that camp is made of children. Below 18 years of age so those are an absolute interests and whats said because one of the Biggest Challenges that occasion for his kids and and does is not just in such very kind but its rather Jordan Jordan also about 660000. 00 syria few jews and thats just the pirates are after all refugees they live in jordan are considered above one for end of the individual civilization live in jordan is a refugee or as a refugee which makes jordan the 2nd biggest refugee or sing country per capita in the war that gives an idea of the size of the crazes and that also gives an idea of the challenges that we face as an easy are but old saw with our partners to and work to try to support them to try to have during their time in exile so theres a beautiful way to set the scene for the way youre working right now to chile you also sent us in pictures im going to shoot this one and you can tell us where we are and whats going on in this picture. Well as you know most of the refugees in pakistan are engaged in the day labor day. Go there has really impacted them very have really and foot them to move ever made the table has become very difficult. And production distribution to the refuge is be one of our product is to make show that they are not to face to a Food Insecurity and these still pictures in fact where we have been not only going to the doorsteps of the rich food if villages build them food but also their patients or refugees who have come to the hospital another hospital that we have been running we were providing them not only the medicine but also the food packages. Thank you for that and there was a sense of. Anxiety though refugees and also the people who were with refugees around the well when we became more when we knew more about having 1000 and its bright backing may american webb who is an artist youre a correspondent was reporting from kenya and its in the situation then lets take a look at part of that what. Am radio fled fighting in her hometown in south sudan when she was 2 years old her parents. To kakuma refugee camp in northern kenya its been a home ever since shes worried about the spread of the corona virus in a common dont you cannot talk among people on my desk and where we fetch water we have to queue and social distancing is practically impossible that scares me. Refugee rights activists say chronic conditions and the lack of health care could be a recipe for disaster unfortunately it means possible devastation people who are infected will not be able to be isolated people who. Will be a lot of transmission the spread to be fast and the response will be. A major. Worry. And what is the situation. Thank you i didnt know it was scripted book of the names not only that up if you come out of any of it if you come in this way. I did it in the grown up white house costs you know but i understand it all over there was more so tease it is even was in it if you can swear subsystem unlimited. Everything its been fresh on me because i know everything is about what youre given everything that comes to that if you take something out of somebody that is given by the u. N. They really care to see on your end up here the food is so russian people queue for food people cheer for what talk to give a cure for all subjects so this thing this year will i did this so should this is the same thing that this my cheek will defend included me team its not possible d great when you queue for everything i just like unicef history and its best to serve god and implement this message but i stopped it just because people working from home its a bit challenging what i saw as i didnt get what it is that i shunned us not just what do we see chris here in the quoted 1000 light i do across still that telling us they have because were talking about a community that goes out. Every subsystem that they get that i just says so its just literally been tough time. I just im just wondering the numbers that sound surprising to anybody who knows me and refugee situation. Can you tell us well the preps for and how people are doing. Absolutely i think its quite interesting because as much as they obviously are sympathize with what ive laid just said. We are the very narrow window of opportunity in jordan. And we were in a way lucky because we could see what happened in europe so we have about a week to 10 days to prepare and i remembered all stern days moche where hectic of course but those were the days where we put in place the the possible response and best possible response that was not just tunisia of course there was a discussion with our partners there was a discussion with the minister of health here how do you actually make sure that we have this talk in place inside refugee camp to make sure that you know refugees can access that when they need it how do you make sure that you put in place a system whereby refugees can maintain should distance when theyre queuing for services and set arent what happened was that in both then based we step up there is unst and then when the lockdown actually up and it was love quite sudden so from one day to the other as as as we were all working from home but there were some colleagues that actually decided to remain in the refugee camps and lived there we lived there so they spent the 1st month or now of Lockdown Living refugees making sure an essential services were provided Health Services but as well as well as the mission. And linking it sure that you know lockdown were just at the same time in the methane worlds were passed through to refugees and you need to respect goes measures because its your own health its your own wellbeing and so in a way in jordan we were very lucky and also we were very well prepared to address a situation in the best possible way. How many refugees geno had either cases of courage 19 or even tragically passed away from the 1900 do you know those figures. Clearly we again its part of i think of the response since the response was well setup and work or limited were lucky enough in a way to knock a sis in among the refugee population and not cases in the camps. Possess as a rule a said that was the main risk our congested areas and the spread of the virus could happen very fast and so well quite lucky that the didnt happen so we didnt have refugee cases nor is it different than it is is you have to put it in a context where by injuries in the early log and there was mention in allow for a very long number of cases today 34 months in the presence 1200. 00 cases and only 11 thats among our then saw the key aspect here is that refugees were 1st and foremost integrated in the National Response plan saw in the case of that would have been a case or there will be a case a revolution receive excess treatment at the turn international we saw following the National Capacity the National Protocol in terms of hospitals intensive treatment and saw a but again luckily we did announce that in jordan i want always to meet dean dean is an afghan refugee the and he is based in greece right now and he talked to us about the reality of everyday life when youre not able to move around freely as a refugee thats when this. The go i. Think that. Peoples life really needed to free inside more you know if you go. This is the. More than 15. Leaving really that nobody. Holds forth that was designed only to. Find as if. It didnt make and also this is the. Peoples all not allowed to go also the. Last in the intense experience that just. If we looked at the refugees that you are counting working with how are they failing how they doing in their day to day life. No. Different than. Trees a lot about. Over 40 years old. One point. I made in. The good thing. About one of them. So about a comedian being in bed strafford you so like francesca go as manship and go did not see many you know case is into the refugee settlements in the but will the chairs and people have been pretty much safe so far. But i think their biggest challenge of biggest crunch has been economical because a lot have lost their day jobs and then because a light in by a guest on is the largest dictator in now didnt program and where we have also addressing. The educate. But the we are running the countrys largest best ever out of School Children program for none other than by the government of qatar and educate a Child Programme so for us the situation was very different a we have to make show that by losing their jobs theyre not facing the Food Insecurity and also all those children that we let a lot of hardship have brought into the Education System should not be out of the system again so how you can bridge this gap of learning and for that we have on very urgent basis with be get an education and Radio Program because most of these communities have no access to top of internet or gadgets so we have to start in some other way which i call was a low tech high impact intervention i would also like to bring one of the other challenge that refugees are facing and biased on is their government of thought handed out a major social safety support. Brought for ending it about 12000000 low income family to provide in cash incentive and providing them the beef can and about 1500000 in refugees are genetically. Into that system so i mean their qualification is not there so i see that theyre having. French one from losing their livelihood and said also the opportunity of getting the safety you know sort of border that you know from the sort of stick or from it. Doesnt i think you cant yes absolutely i do want to share a picture that that you sent us which is inside School School with social distancing happening here is school happening for refugees in pakistan as norm. Is going to school are they able to go to school this is a major issue that the school kids around the router right now with that will come danny. Unfortunately. Host a big buck relation of out of School Children over 20000000. 00 kids in the country are not going to school which makes roughly you know about 10 percent of the total population and i would say that refugee populations are no exemption rather maybe more than 10 percent of their population of the kids from age 6 to 16 and unable to go to school still work through this program get pictures. And was about their. Program and i would just open lasers were as as well as we encourage the parents to take the radios have their kids sit and go to this program right which it matters which we have twice a day i want to bring in a comment from jess who works for unicef and she talks about the own goal in china managing kozik 19 and the impact its having on women. In the past few months 19 prices of. Children and youth in the refugee camps are still hold because in order to fight the deep end if the government of jordan impose some Strict Lockdown lets use some of the strictest in the world now that hasnt succeeded the references to more than anybody else and the young people in the. First terrorist actions were on me. Which was much if anybody else. That has deep feelings they impacted the life. And refugee. Just to. The education of the children and their. Psychosocial support and other forms of. A windy day there but francesca you were not in go ahead. I know it has to go well so im glad that she commented its no you can if it hurts 50 percent the Mental Health consultation went up 50 percent join the lockdown that shows you that thats just a sign the message violence went up youre in a lockdown those are all star and set you know the law coming it has an impact on those and particularly the vulnerable the the women the kids arent included in terms of education as a torturous same all this was done though in a way to prevent the virus to spread lets remember that saw there was a viral game that that the authorities had to take on any day and repeatedly at all level officials said there was a needs to put Public Health 1st and that what was done now dangerous in part is and obviously is now the challenge is truly a canonical upgrade to 5 percent of refugees that are job before the the lockdown before the crisis actually lost its arm same same similar sorts daily work they were the 1st losers shot so what theyre going to go back to now that you know their assertion has slowly been lifted but i think whats interesting is that refugees around to printers are there theyre willing to contribute to their societies think another great example comes from from south korea and thats an Innovation Lab where refugees are actually created some some innovative ideas to actually support those communities to to deal with the crisis and the net reveal to you mind if if i show examples that because it when i do this all it actually blew me away. It is a little clip of the video and it sound really intriguing about an innovation that confirms the time and and its going. Raising money and funds and economically supporting. The governments another ward in northern and jean was a mean more to the. Clerk if i have. Or never. In our. Community and or some other women on the phone with them i love legend even more humans are the one many of our fire. For humans are very. Its such a positive way of are you just challenging just some of the stereotypes i think he just let me finish my sentence one second at some of the stereotypes that attach to refugees around iraq even when were in a Global Pandemic from just oh let me just very quickly just bring in up to the heat because on you change one of us nate and no san julian is so incredibly different from the way that kenya is handling its refugee population i do he why do you think that its. Idea what im doing here is that its also happening in kenya what mention is that. In officials out there in a specialist to do you are trying to come up with metamucil handling the coronavirus in the dark that if you use were busy making. Mosques for there followed a reduced to a not finding one to they you know officials of the high school enough that they you know festus because everybody is in holiday because of the kind of i guess in the mix ups. Being a nobody in them to watch or supplemental its evidence given by a just this idea what i wanted to say is that. The crisis is. That if you communities are getting hot and they get innovative in tacoma ended up theyre already making soaps face masks and. In other in other places even theyre more trying to mortify order him but i. Dont know what the spill. Up to the house holds so ideally this crisis we have made if you just part of the solution then then more than any other crisis so you know this is something that is really open in our way of making life come specter not only in jordan but also here in kenya. This is such a perfect taste and innovation were dressed. Communities around the world even during a Global Pandemic until he talked to Cina Francesco he achieved what he instantly so much for joining a stranger i will see you next time thanks for watching everybody. And the disease because 50 deaths of children. Was. That hes received a childhood education that. Deep. Beneath the sea says he. Sees. Was. The to. Capturing a moment in time. Snapshots of all the lives. Of the stories one is people are too caught up in there is no check and extent provided a glimpse into someone elses world who are pursue me in the dream more of your life i
