As the refugee crisis continues to divide families and communities across Europe and the Middle East, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg is doing his “share” to help migrants stay connected. At a UN forum in New York on Saturday, Zuckerburg made a pledge to bring the internet to all UN refugee camps. “Connectivity will help refugees better access support from the aid community,” he said, “and maintain links to family and loved ones.” Zuckerberg said Facebook would work with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. His campaign for connectivity is supported by many celebrities including rock star Bono, entrepreneurs Bill Gates and Richard Branson, and Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales.
