Across the world there are currently over 65 million people who have had to leave their homes. Some have settled in new countries; many more are living in refugee camps, waiting for it to be safe enough to go home or to be resettled in a different country. The United Nations decided that refugees should have a special day, when we think of them and show our support. The first World Refugee Day was on 20 June 2001 and it’s been celebrated every year since then.
Anyone who has visited East Grinstead will know that some people live under terrible conditions of squalor and deprivation. Very sad.
It's unbelievable, the squalor those people in East Grinsteadstan live with. No wonder they'll do anything to move to Barnsley.
