British TV and radio presenter Anita Rani has been announced as UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency's latest Goodwill Ambassador, having supported the organisation since 2017.

Rani commented 'The plight of refugees is really close to my heart. People everywhere are reeling from the pandemic, but imagine facing Covid when you’ve been forcibly displaced and don’t have a place to call home. Conditions for refugees are deteriorating and their numbers are rising; globally, there are over 80 million people displaced by conflict and persecution. I’m humbled to be able to do whatever I can to make sure they are not forgotten'.
