give them water and food...........But the most thing they all need is water for the refugees and money
New Zealand would really struggle if 100,000 refugees arrived all at once. This is about the size of one of the 5 biggest cities in New Zealand, say Dunedin or Hamilton. New Zealand does not have the facilities for this many refugees, or even for this many people to arrive to live permanently, and refugees need a lot of support when they arrive as they have usually come from very different cultures and a stressful situation. Also, New Zealand is not a very multicultural society (predominantly European and Maori heritage) so integration can be difficult for some people, and therefore support systems are very important. New Zealand currently accepts less than a thousand refugees per year.
The 1970s and 1980s saw a number of refugees arriving in New Zealand. They were fleeing war and came from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.
Most refugees come in to New Zealand by plane with a very small amount by boat this is due to the fact that New Zealand has no borders so no one can come in by car, truck, bus, etc.
There is speculation that Spanish explorers may have visited New Zealand in the 16th century. However, there is no archeological evidence to support this.
New Zealand has an agreement with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to take 750 people per year who have been classified as refugees by that organization. There are three main sub-categories: protection cases; women-at-risk; and medical/disabled. Family connections to people in New Zealand are taken into account. Asylum or Convention refugees are also accepted if their application meets the requirements of the New Zealand authorities. There is no set quota for this type of refugee. Any refugees from Afghanistan accepted by New Zealand will have met one or other of the sets of criteria.
