Palestinian refugees in Iceland

Here is an interesting story from BBC.

Icelandic Red Cross is the representative of UNHCR in Iceland, therefore we had a lot to do with the selection, movement and resettlement of the refugees from Iraq. It has been a big programme and I hope that the people settle well. The support families make a real difference in helping people to adjust. You will imagine that it is a great change from being in the desert to a stormy island - you can see how windy it is on the video.
