#Lebanon#Migrants#Racism#Kafala#AbolishKafala
On International Migrants Day, we want to highlight the situation of displaced migrant communities in Lebanon. Once again, migrants are stranded, seemingly forgotten about in reconstruction plans, and torn between repatriation or living in Lebanon under harsh circumstances. [1/2]
We will continue to respond to the situation as needs evolve, supporting not only immediate needs but also aiming for long-term change. And we will continue to keep you updated! [2/2]

Once again, migrant communities have been excluded from all governmental responses to the war. There is very limited support provided by activists, civil society groups, and NGOs, which resulted in thousands of migrant workers facing homelessness under continuous airstrikes [2/2]
We need urgent intervention to ensure that an emergency shelter is set up by the IOM for stranded and displaced migrant workers and communities in Lebanon. [1/2]

لقد رأينا ذات السياسات من قبل خلال جائحة كوفيد-19 وفي أعقاب انفجار بيروت.
لا مكان للعنصرية خلال الأزمات والطوارئ. نطالب بشمل المهاجرين واللاجئين في أي خطط للإغاثة، إن كانت حكومية أو من المنظمات الدولية. ✊

🚪 أبواب الملاجئ مغلقة، والشوارع غير آمنة، والحكومة لا تقدم أي دعم. بل على العكس، هم يزيدون الوضع سوءاً، مدَّعين إعطاءَ الأولوية للبنانيين على حساب غير اللبنانيين.
هذه العنصرية والتمييز الصارخان، للأسف، ليسا غريبين علينا... [2/3]
We've seen this before during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the aftermath of Beirut Blast
Racism has no place during crises and emergencies
We demand the inclusion of migrants and refugees in the government and international organizations' relief plans✊
Spread the word [3/3]
⚠️ As Lebanon's National Emergency Plan ignores the existence of migrants and refugees, families and individuals are left to fend for themselves. [1/3]
#AbolishKafala#Lebanon#Racism#Migrants#Refugees
🚪Shelters' doors are closed, the streets are unsafe, and the government is offering 0 support. Instead, they're actively making the situation worse by claiming to prioritize Lebanese over non-Lebanese
This blatant racism & discrimination is, unfortunately, not unfamiliar [2/3]
تواجه النساء الإفريقيات العاملات في لبنان أوضاعًا مأساوية بعد عدوان الاستعمار الصهيوني الأخير على البلاد، والذي أخذ نهج التدمير والإبادة، متسببًا في مجازر خلفت آلاف الشهداء/ات والجرحى/ات وهجر الآلاف قسريًا من بيوتهن وقراهن ومدنهن
