“On the occasion of the World Refugee Day this year, UNHCR wishes to record its sincere gratitude for the generosity the Government and people of Zimbabwe have continued to show towards persons arriving in the country as asylum-seekers or as part of the ever growing phenomenon of persons who arrive in mixed migratory population flows principally through the Nyamapanda border entry post,” said UNHCR.
“In the case of Zimbabwe, UNHCR wishes to record its special thanks because despite the tremendous developmental and other challenges facing the country, both the Government and people of Zimbabwe have remained committed to preserving the institution of asylum.
“. . . and tolerating the presence of refugees and other persons of concern on Zimbabwean territory, and most importantly, sharing the meagre resources such as health and medical facilities as well as ensuring the personal security for refugees and other persons of concern.”
