A historic moment for the Refugee Paralympic Team at #Paris2024, as they leave the Games with their first-ever medals. These athletes embody the resilience and hope of refugees worldwide. As Ruvendrini Menikdiwela, UNHCR’s Assistant High Commissioner for Protection, said, "They are a symbol of perseverance and hope, reminding us that people everywhere crave safety and the chance to fulfill their dreams." Their legacy will continue to inspire as we look ahead to the 2028 Games. International Paralympic Committee https://lnkd.in/eKWt5t6R
