The Irpin community continues to feel strong international support - today we were visited by two foreign delegations.
In the morning, we met members of the Defense Committee of the Riksdag of Sweden.
In the afternoon, the @UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons., Paula Gaviria Betancourt @PaulaGaviriaB , visited Irpin.
I want to sincerely thank our international partners for their attention to the reconstruction of the Irpin community and military assistance to Ukraine. Through various programs, the @UN provides us with building materials, directly takes over objects for reconstruction, and helps with the dismantling and dismantling of rubble. Sweden announced a new 14th package of military aid a month ago. So now the sum of the Scandinavian country's payments to Ukraine will amount to more than 2 billion dollars. Thank you and let's continue to work on the reconstruction and victory of Ukraine!

We are proud to co-host the first All-Ukrainian 🇺🇦 Forum of IDP Councils, which provides a platform for IDPs to directly influence policies & programs that enable their inclusion & contribution to their new communities.
Nothing for the People without the People.
ALT "The success of IDP Councils also depends on the commitment they receive from local authorities. I thank them for supporting the participation of IDPs & engaging in dialogue with them,” said Karolina Lindholm Billing, UNHCR's Representative in Ukraine

Today armed men attacked a camp for displaced people in Lala, Ituri Province. They killed at least 45 people including women and children; 12 were burned alive in their shelters.
Every day in Eastern DRC civilians are displaced, raped, murdered.
No further comments are needed.

A remarkable week of sharing of experiences among States on implementing internal displacement laws & policies. Thanks to the participants who brought so much knowledge and passion, the amazing expert facilitators, @IIHL_Sanremo for hosting & @Refugees for making it possible. – at San Remo, Liguria
During the @IDPs_Panel process, States facing internal displacement challenges made clear that they benefit when they can learn & exchange ideas with others facing similar issues. Grateful to support this peer-to-peer opportunity convened by the Special Rapporteur @PaulaGaviriaB
It is a privilege to gather with government officials from nine countries for the first Cross-Regional Forum on Implementing Laws and Policies on Internal Displacement @IIHL_Sanremo with @Refugees. There are unique benefits when States learn from each other.
