Australia’s 2021 Federal Budget Reveals the Future of Australian Aid
We unpack what the latest budget means for regional COVID-19 recovery.

St. Vincent – The first members of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) s emergency response team arrived today (23/04) in St. Vincent to support displacement tracking activities and the delivery of essential shelter and emergency items to thousands of people who were forcibly displaced by the eruption of La Soufriere volcano.
The team will also provide technical guidance at shelters where more than 6,000 Vincentians now live. A shipment of approximately 1,200 hygiene kits and cleaning equipment will arrive from Trinidad and Tobago in the following hours. The situation in St. Vincent is still uncertain. As the eruption can go on for months, this is a crisis that will require a humanitarian response but also a response in terms of rehabilitation, said Jan-Willem Wegdam, IOM´s Emergency Response Coordinator for La Soufriere Eruption.
