I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life following the sinking of a passenger boat off Cyprus' northern coast.

My heartfelt condolences go to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives. I stand in solidarity with the people of Cyprus, and particularly with the Turkish Cypriot community at this painful time.

My thoughts are also with those who have been injured and with the families anxiously awaiting news of their missing loved ones. I sincerely hope that they will be found and brought home safely.

22% of Lebanon's agricultural lands have been badly affected by the wars since 2023, direct damage is at over 1 billion usd. Unified standards of soil assessment are essential for recovery, AND to counter incorrect perceptions. National Soil Monitoring Framework launched today 👏

Today, on the International Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief, we stand with all those persecuted because of their faith or beliefs.

Freedom of religion or belief is a fundamental value of the 🇪🇺.

Protecting religious freedom and promoting interfaith dialogue are essential to building trust, safeguarding diversity and strengthening peace.

Through the #PactForTheMediterranean, we will continue working with our partners to protect minorities, promote dialogue between faiths, and stand firmly against antisemitism, anti-Muslim hatred and every form of persecution.

A positive step forward for Lebanon 🇱🇧

The adoption of the amended Bank Resolution Law is an important step towards rebuilding trust, strengthening the financial sector and restoring confidence.

The EU is supporting Lebanon on this path, next step: adopting an equitable Gap Law, on the path towards the conditions for an IMF programme and further strengthening our cooperation.

[EU in Lebanon @EUinLebanon]

The EU congratulates Lebanon on adopting the law abolishing the death penalty - the first country in the region to do so, setting a powerful example for others to follow.

This week, I my thoughts are with the victims and survivors of the #BeirutBlast. Their plea has been one of my priorities, and I continue to call for accountability & cooperation from both national and international actors. Six years on, there is still no justice. 🇱🇧

[Kajsa Ollongren @KajsaOllongren]

Today is the Day of International Criminal Justice. I highlight the importance of accountability, the role of institutions and the leadership of victims and survivors. Today, the fight for international criminal justice and the protection of the ICC is more important than ever ⚖️

The next school year is approaching, yet at least 100,000 children in Lebanon risk having no classroom to return to.

A Ministry of Education and Higher Education assessment reveals 340 schools have been damaged, including 17 that were completely destroyed.

Behind every damaged classroom is a child waiting to return to learning, reconnect with friends, and rebuild a sense of normalcy.

Urgent investment is needed now to restore schools before September.

The latest UN Commission of Inquiry report is damning: Israel has deliberately killed & injured hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children, including through sexual & gender-based violence.

Gaza now has the highest concentration of child amputees in the world. 🧵

[Reuters @Reuters]

🔊 A UN inquiry finds Israel deliberately targeted children in Gaza and that it amounts to genocide. @LivvyLepoids on the Reuters World News podcast, ‘this 94-page report lays out how children have been disproportionately affected by the war’ https://t.co/Y1KRK3DBJE

Every drop of clean water matters. 💧

UNICEF and the @EUinLebanon are supporting the rehabilitation, operation and maintenance of the Tripoli Wastewater Treatment Plant to help sustain wastewater treatment, reduce pollution and protect water resources for children, families and communities across North #Lebanon.

Thanks to the generous support of the European Union 🇪🇺, and in partnership with the @MEW_Leb and the North Lebanon Water Establishment, we are strengthening essential services that communities rely on every day.

#ForEveryChild, a healthier future.

Tyre, Lebanon is devastated.

Homes, hospitals and shelters are damaged or destroyed by Israeli strikes.

Ceasefires mean little when fear remains.

Hundreds of thousands are still displaced, stuck in uncertainty. This must end.
