IOM understands these links through the wide lens of human security and is committed to putting vulnerable people at the center of its responses. Food security, water security, environmental security and livelihood security are all affected by climate change and can influence mobility patterns. 2022 has witnessed the combined impacts of climate change and food insecurity, and the proliferation of acute situations across the world, leading to disruption in food supply chain and rising prices of grain, fertilizer and energy. This has resulted in compounded risks for communities already under severe stress, especially in low-income countries, and lead to protracted displacement and increased humanitarian needs. These situations call for longer-term development, adaptation and disaster risk reduction policies to avert and minimize displacement, strengthen the resilience of migrants and communities and promote sustainable societies and livelihoods.The Second International Dialogue on Migration Session of 2022 took place on October 24-25th in Geneva, Switzerland.

    Hundreds of refugees arrive daily at Afdera town after walking for several days. IOM teams are on the ground providing relocation, resettlement, and related support to thousands of displaced refugees from Berhale refugee camp in the north-west of Afar region fleeing ongoing conflict between Tigray and Afar regional states in Ethiopia. A significant number of refugees living at Berhale refugee camp are fleeing to neighbouring woredas as armed conflict and attendant insecurity, including food shortages, worsen in areas bordering Tigray and Afar regional states. The camp was established in 2007 and officially opened in 2009 to accommodate mainly ethnic Afar Eritrean refugees seeking international protection. IOM is deploying operations, registration, and medical staff for each movement. Registration and verification of refugees are conducted before each movement to provide protection support, identify medical referral cases, and cross-check data for documentation purposes in collaboration with RRS and UNHCR. The work to relocate the refugees caught in conflict was made possible with funding from the United States Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM).Hundreds of refugees arrive daily at Afdera town after walking for several days. IOM teams are on the ground providing relocation, resettlement, and related support to thousands of displaced refugees from Berhale refugee camp in the north-west of Afar region fleeing ongoing conflict between Tigray and Afar regional states in Ethiopia. A significant number of refugees living at Berhale refugee camp are fleeing to neighbouring woredas as armed conflict and attendant insecurity, including food shortages, worsen in areas bordering Tigray and Afar regional states. The camp was established in 2007 and officially opened in 2009 to accommodate mainly ethnic Afar Eritrean refugees seeking international protection. IOM is deploying operations, registration, and medical staff for each movement. Registration and verification of refugees are conducted before each movement to provide protection support, identify medical referral cases, and cross-check data for documentation purposes in collaboration with RRS and UNHCR.

  • It’s Only the End of the World is a dystopian photography exhibition that predicts a future where complacency against climate change triumphs over action. A fisherman attempts to fish in the desert. A young child sits in front of discarded lumber, grim souvenirs of a once thriving forest. A woman stands looking into the distance, as the ocean rises around her.

    IOM Georgia (36)
    Eric Gourlan, Dina Oganova
    Mashenka and Vedangi both arrived in Georgia in January 2020 as international medical students. They study at the Tbilisi Open University and upon graduation are hoping to become surgeons. Both like their professors, who they find friendly and always available for help or advice. They love to attend weekly practical trainings at one of Tbilisi clinics, where students can communicate with patients and learn from the experience of practicing doctors.

The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic saw most universities and students across the globe adjusting to the distance learning process. This was also the case with Vedang and Mashenka. Although they seem quite satisfied with the quality of online classes, they still miss the practical trainings and hope to get back to physically attending classes again soon.

The COVID-19 pandemic is first and foremost a health crisis. The threat remains the virus: not people, not migrants, not stranded, or displaced persons. The pandemic is borderless; people are affected regardless of their nationality, ethnicity, religion, or status.

Migrants are not inherently more vulnerable to, or at heightened risk of, contracting infectious diseases. Rather, it is the conditions in which they migrate, live, or work that influence or compound health risks, including access to health services.Mashenka and Vedangi both arrived in Georgia in January 2020 as international medical students.

  • IOM-UNHCR Niger visit (57)
    IOM Director General António Vitorino and UNHCR Filippo Grandi joint 3-day visit to Niger. The visit aimed to call for more international support to address challenges faced by migrants, refugees and internally displaced people and their vulnerable host communities, as the country lacks resources to face the humanitarian challenges caused by instability in neighbouring states. A high-level roundtable on mixed migration in Niger was organized in Niamey during the joint IOM-UNHCR visit, chaired by Niger’s Prime Minister Ouhoumoudou Mahamadou, with Government ministers, the UN Resident Coordinator, senior diplomats, and UN agencies. Participants discussed how to better support Niger to manage the challenges of complex movements of refugees and migrants. Vitorino and Grandi were also received by President Mohamed Bazoum and discussed support to migrants and communities hosting them, and displaced people and refugees returning to their communities of origin once the situation stabilizes, both within the region of Diffa, Niger, and in northeastern Nigeria.IOM Director General António Vitorino and UNHCR Filippo Grandi joint 3-day visit to Niger.
