Almost 2.4 million refugees will need resettling next year, the United Nations said on Tuesday, at a time when a number of countries have slashed resettlement spots.
UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, warned of a dire shortage of options for such refugees, who cannot return home and face risks in their country of asylum.
"Expanding resettlement is urgent and achievable," Jackie Keegan, who leads UNHCR's durable solutions and field protection support service, told journalists in Geneva.
