    At the heart of paying it forward is an ethos of helping people, with no expectation of reward or recognition so that recipients maintain their dignity and improve their lives. In a world divided by the pursuit of individual profit and torn apart by conflict, “that is amazing”. https://t.co/3HQn0Vyyxa

    “They are the people who are at the bottom of the pyramid... And they are almost always the first to go.” UNHCR’s @GillianTriggs on how the socio-economic impacts of COVID are driving many refugees to return home. https://t.co/kFQBizNjo8

    The prevalence of mental health conditions is already high among refugees. An estimated 1 in 5 suffer from conditions of clinical concern. Aid workers now worry that the impact of coronavirus will increase, if not double, these issues. Latest from @devex: https://t.co/GKoFRG3BHB https://t.co/Mu1p2kAYwT

    COVID-19 emergency powers shouldn’t be weaponised to suppress dissent. Shooting, detaining, or abusing someone for breaking a curfew because they are desperately searching for food is unacceptable and unlawful. https://t.co/8QdmT68jzU https://t.co/ykbTtqQybd

    With growing fear and social unrest, xenophobia and discrimination are also on the rise. Refugees trying to make ends meet on the streets or in the informal sector are often unable to comply with quarantine measures and are being scapegoated, stigmatized or at risk of detention.

    As a result of the socio-economic devastation that COVID is inflicting on refugees and host communities, some refugees are now resorting to survival sex, begging or hawking on the streets and others are at risk of being prey to smugglers and armed groups: https://t.co/nNlgHcQId8

    COVID is pushing millions of refugees deeper into poverty. Many have lost jobs, are evicted from their homes and are now without food or medicine. The numbers of those now homeless and destitute are increasing by the day. The latest: https://t.co/nNlgHcQId8 #laborday https://t.co/zoaxnWzn7s
