Biden earmarks $46m for ‘unexpected urgent refugee and migration needs’

Joe Biden has assigned $46m to meet “unexpected urgent refugee and migration needs” for vulnerable migrants in Central America, the White House announced.

The allocation from the Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund will aid international relief organisations, which have urged the administration to address growing humanitarian crises in the region, stemming from devastated economies, food insecurity, the climate crisis and impacts of two recent hurricanes, and the coronavirus pandemic and its economic fallout.

A recent report from the International Rescue Committee has recommended the administration provide direct cash support, shelter assistance, case management and better access to information for hard-to-reach populations, among other recommendations, for the Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.

The old democrat standby:  Rather than seek real solutions, throw some money at the problem and brag about all you're doing. :bs:
