@RefugeesChief says: “With the majority of refugees now living in towns and cities, mayors and community leaders play a critical role in mobilising support, opening up access to services and opportunities, and helping refugees become members of new communities.”pic.twitter.com/y38Fh2sOoL1 reply . 11 retweets 19 likesShow this thread
