 I am in Dodd today in Garisa County in Northern Kenya. This is one of the largest refugee camps in the world. Currently, Kenya is hosting over half a million registered refugees and asylum seekers. But with severe and prolonged routes and natural resource-based conflicts that the east and horn of Africa region has been experiencing in recent years, thousands upon thousands of people are arriving in Kenya from neighboring countries. Since October 2022 alone over 100,000 people arrived here in Dodd from Somalia, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Burundi. I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking to several of them today and all of them have heartbreaking stories, but they have one thing in common. Their livestock have died, their lands have been destroyed and they can't produce crops and they've lost their livelihoods due to climate impact. Support is urgently needed to help their immediate needs, but we have to prioritize finding lasting solutions for people who are displaced due to climate and conflict. IOM with our UN partner agencies are committed to supporting the government of Kenya in migration management, ensuring that the dignity and well-being of refugees and migrants and all people on the move are upheld.
