    People with specific needs, including those with intellectual and physical disabilities are at risk of being left behind. It is critical that access to services, including health care, are prioritized at local and national levels.

    We welcome the decision by the US to resettle 125,000 refugees over the next fiscal year. Refugee resettlement can help save lives, providing protection to those most at-risk. https://t.co/SfaBcEaB1N
