All apart, all together: a glimpse into the festive season around the world

This year's festive period is like no other. The Covid-19 pandemic and its economic fallout have impacted all of us, some far more than others. Here are some stories showing how vulnerable people around the world are celebrating. The holidays have united them in their hope for a better future, despite all the hardship.

United against coronavirus

Coronavirus is threatening us all. With each day, in every family, community and country, more of us are being personally affected by it. To beat the pandemic and avert harm to the lives of billions we must work together. We need to act across all countries and for every person. Fighting for some but not others is not an option. It only fuels risk for us all.

Five years later, little has changed – the Sahrawi refugee population is marking their 45th year in camps, where life remains incredibly difficult.

Reaction to United States Proclamation Recognizing The Sovereignty Of The Kingdom Of Morocco Over Western Sahara
