Brian tells us about the data that UNHCR collects, the categories of displaced people, the countries from which the largest numbers of people are leaving, the countries hosting the most, the place of private sponsorship in this big picture, and some of the other "complementary" routes to get people to safety.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
