In a poignant interview with CGTN host Tian Wei, UNHCR global spokesperson Babar Baloch made a heartfelt plea: "Give peace a chance."
Baloch highlighted Iran's long-standing role as one of the world's most generous host countries, with 3.5 million registered refugees currently finding safety and stability there. Against a backdrop of global displacement, this figure underscores the scale of Iran's commitment to protecting vulnerable communities.
He also warned that the ongoing Middle East conflict is more than a geopolitical crisis – it's a human tragedy unfolding daily. Baloch paints a stark picture of shattered communities, overwhelmed hospitals, and families grappling with loss and uncertainty.
"Peace isn't just an ideal – it's the foundation for rebuilding lives, schools, and health systems," he emphasized. "We must work together to turn this plea into action."
As digital-savvy citizens and changemakers, young readers have a unique role in shaping global conversations. By amplifying Baloch's message and supporting humanitarian efforts, we can help build bridges toward a more peaceful future.
