[DRC Middle East & North Africa @DRC_MENA]

Over 150 organisations, including @DRC_ngo, are calling on UN member states to act urgently in securing an immediate ceasefire across #Gaza, #Lebanon, and beyond.

The international community's egregious disregard for international law and the government of Israel's unchecked impunity has led to devastating civilian harm, forced displacement, and the destruction of vital infrastructure.

We demand accountability for violations of international law, an end to impunity, and the facilitation of unhindered humanitarian access to deliver lifesaving aid to those in desperate need. The time to act is now to prevent further atrocities and protect human life. #CeasefireNow

An “interesting” choice of commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration🤔

Finance background and wanted an economic portfolio...

From one of the hard-line MS looking to outsource rather than defend EU asylum law...

Let’s see where this goes.

[Danish Refugee Council @DRC_ngo]

The new rule from @DHSgov & @TheJusticeDept on ‘Securing the Border’ imposes new limitations on access to protection in the U.S. for persons of concern in Central America and Mexico. It increases their vulnerability and exposure to violence and abuse👇

#vonderleyen visit to #Lebanon missed a crucial chance to prioritize safety & rights of Syrian refugees and support Lebanese host communities. The right to asylum should not be traded off for securitisation of EU borders https://t.co/tUE0PpPLJS @Intersos @RESCUEorg @NRC_Norway

[DRC Dansk Flygtningehjælp @DRC_dk]

Den danske regering har et medansvar for at standse brutaliteten i Gaza. Sammen med 10 andre organisationer beder vi igen indtrængende om, at regeringen presser markant hårdere på for en forbedring af den desperate situation i Gaza. Læs mere her👇

[UNHCR United Kingdom @UNHCRUK]

Following the passing of the “Safety of Rwanda” Act by the UK, UN leaders have sounded the alarm on the harmful impact it will have on global responsibility sharing, human rights and refugee protection.

[Statewatch @StatewatchEU]

The passing of the #MigrationPact shows a clear priority of state interests over human rights.

But as #EU member states and agencies find "solidarity" in border policing, surveillance and violence, civil society will continue find #solidarity in our resistance.

‼️ "Work has started in Albania to build a reception centre and camp to receive migrants from Italy – but activists and locals in both countries remain highly critical of the plan."

After 8 years with limiting access to asylum in the EU with devastating consequences for refugees the EU-Türkiye arrangement is still touted by the EU and MS as a model for duplication. See the many reasons for why it is not👉 @AsileProject research pieces https://t.co/6XV8NzWNTC

Today marks a sad anniversary: it's been 13 years of war in Syria, which has taken an all too heavy toll on the country and its people. We cannot wait for yet another grim anniversary – the crisis in Syria can’t afford to become a forgotten crisis. https://t.co/PcUaPJ2WIo
