Direct updates and information from @MSF projects assisting #migrants and #refugees in #Europe. RT≠ endorsement

[MSF Sea @MSF_Sea]

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) takes this moment seriously: without meaningful amendments, the bill locks into Greek law the border policies that have already produced violence, unlawful pushbacks, and systematic human suffering across Europe.

🎥"One refugee in, one refugee out, it makes no sense."

Um Mohammad fled Darfur. Her house was burned. Her papers too. Her son has no birth certificate, and neither does her daughter, born in Libya.

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

🆘 ~40 people in distress south of #Crete!

We were informed about another group on their way to Greece, who urgently needs rescue!

In total we know of 6 boats in distress. @HCoastGuard is alerted but refuses further information. We demand immediate rescue & #SafePassage now!

Men, women, and children, after enduring desperate journeys as exiles, are left to fend for themselves.

🎥This is the outcome of more than thirty years of Franco‑British migration agreements.

🆘 45 people in distress in the Central Med! We alerted authorities about the group who fled #Libya on a boat. They report water coming inside and deflation of the boat. Our last contact was at 4:40am CEST. They are not reachable anymore. Authorities, rescue before it's too late!

[Sea-Watch International @seawatch_intl]

🚨 AT LEAST 5 PEOPLE ARE STRANDED on the abandoned Didon oil platform in the Mediterranean without food and water, in urgent medical need. They've been there since at least May 21. They need help - NOW!

"One refugee in, one refugee out. It makes no sense."

🎥People on the move in Calais are speaking out after the "one in, one out" agreement between France and the UK came into force.

🆘 5 people stuck on oil platform in the central #Mediterranean!

We are in contact with the group, who is abandoned on the #Didon platform and need urgent medical assistance. They fear a forced return to #Libya. Authorities are informed, a rescue to safety is urgently needed!

[MSF Sea @MSF_Sea]

The scars remain.

In 2024, people rescued by our team shared accounts of interception and violence.
These are not isolated cases. Sadly, this is what we hear time and again at sea.

[InfoMigrants @InfoMigrants]

A small child has died after dozens of migrants were rescued from a boat near the Italian island of Lampedusa in the Mediterranean Sea. According to reports, the cause of death was severe exposure to cold temperatures.

🔴Violence at sea is intensifying.

Civil SAR vessels in the Central Mediterranean face gunfire and threats by the Libyan Coast Guard, putting lives at risk.

Silence and complicity allow this violence to continue. Accountability is urgent.

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

🆘 ~43 people in distress in the Central Med!
This morning we lost contact with a group fleeing from #Libya in a rubber boat. Authorities have been informed 12 hours ago, but say they have no information about the boat. Where are they? #Dontletthemdrown!

🆘 ~75 people in distress in the central Mediterranean!

We have alerted authorities to the distressed. A merchant vessel that could have rescued left, due to orders by RCC #Malta. We call on authorities to stop these potentially lethal practices! Rescue now!

[MSF Sea @MSF_Sea]

Another dangerous and violent attack by EU-funded Libyan coastguard against a civilian rescue vessel. All support and solidarity with the crew and survivors on board #Seawatch5

[Sea-Watch International @seawatch_intl]

🔴SHOTS FIRED Our Sea-Watch 5 is being shot at by the EU-funded so-called Libyan coastguard. Our crew just finished rescuing 90 people but Libyan militias are still following us. They expressed the intent to abduct us to Libya!

[Dr Javid Abdelmoneim @MSF_IP]

In 2016, the international community reaffirmed that the wounded and sick, as well as those who care for them, must be protected.

That attacks on healthcare continue to occur 10 years on is a failure of political will.

Two young women believed to be of Sudanese origin died Sunday while trying to reach Britain from northern France in a small boat, officials said. #channel #migrants

[Dr Javid Abdelmoneim @MSF_IP]

10 years ago today, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2286. Over 80 Member States committed to protect medical humanitarian work. Yet @MSF is sharing the same message from 2016:

🔴 Stop bombing hospitals.
🔴 Stop bombing health workers.
🔴 Stop bombing patients.

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

🆘 ~60 people in urgent distress off #Libya!
The group is drifting on a rubber boat with a broken engine and needs help immediately, as they report water entering and the boat deflating. Authorities are alerted - there is no time to lose! We urge them to act without delay!
