United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Barham Salih has urged the international community to increase support for Kenya's refugee efforts, highlighting the country's commendable inclusive policies amidst a global funding crisis. Speaking after a visit to the Kakuma refugee camp, Salih stressed the need for greater international engagement.

• Kenya currently hosts over 800,000 refugees and asylum seekers across various camps, including over 300,000 at Kakuma and nearly 406,000 at Dadaab.
• UNHCR has faced significant budget cuts, reducing global staffing costs by nearly 30 percent, affecting 12.8 million displaced people globally.
• Salih's call comes as major donors like the USA, UK, and Germany have drastically cut humanitarian funding, impacting over 800,000 refugees in Kenya.
