世界卫生组织与联合国难民署签署更新协议，旨在为全球强制流离失所人口提升公共卫生服务1。这份协议在既有1997年合作框架基础上进一步扩展1，两机构超过20年的合作关系将在新协议下得到加强1。
全球约7000万强制流离失所者成为新协议的主要保护对象1。其中包括2600万难民，其中80%居住在卫生系统脆弱的中低收入国家1，另有4000万国内流离失所者同样需要援助1。联合国难民署高级专员菲利波·格兰迪表示，"长期伙伴关系对遏制疫情至关重要"1。
针对新冠疫情防控，联合国难民署已加入COVID-19团结响应基金1，该基金截至协议签署时已筹集2.14亿美元1，并已拨付超1亿美元用于防疫工作1。联合国难民署从中获得1000万美元资金，用于支持约旦、肯尼亚、黎巴嫩等国的疫情防控工作1。世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞表示，"我们承诺保护被迫离家者的健康"1。
The World Health Organization and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees have signed an updated and expanded agreement to improve public health services for the world's forcibly displaced populations.1 The new partnership, which supersedes a 1997 accord between the two organizations, aims to provide comprehensive support to approximately 70 million people globally who have been forcibly displaced, including 26 million refugees, 40 million internally displaced persons, and stateless individuals.1 The collaboration, which has spanned more than two decades, places particular emphasis on protecting these vulnerable populations from COVID-19, especially given that 80 percent of refugees reside in low- and middle-income countries with fragile health systems.1
As part of the reinforced partnership, UNHCR has joined the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund and secured $10 million in support to strengthen pandemic prevention and response efforts in countries including Jordan, Kenya, and Lebanon.1 The fund itself has accumulated $214 million as of the agreement's signing, with over $100 million already allocated toward COVID-19 control measures.1 In statements on the partnership's significance, UNHCR High Commissioner Filippo Grandi stated that "long-term partnerships are essential to containing the pandemic," while WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus affirmed the organizations' commitment to "protecting the health of those forced from their homes."1
