ICRC's director for the Near and Middle East, Fabrizio Carboni, was quoted as saying in Geneva
that humanitarian help should be ensured for refugees.
Speaking at a press conference on October 24, Fabrizio Hochschild, the senior UN official overseeing the 75-year anniversary events,
said that they come at a time when the world is more inter-connected than ever before, and facing a host of problems that need to be faced through global cooperation; but also a time when nations are retreating from the institutions set up to address such challenges.
