Surviving in the City: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Malaysia is a largely urban country, with 60 per cent of the population living in cities. Life for a refugee in Kuala Lumpur is challenging. Refugees cannot work legally and most live in fear of detention, despite having received a refugee card from UNHCR.

So much unnecessary suffering. It breaks my heart. We must all work together to help those most in need. I recommend supporting organisations, such as Refugees International.
