Most refugees want to return to their countries, but home is often out of reach due to ongoing insecurity and lack of livelihoods or housing. #GlobalTrends #ForcedToFlee

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

Gaza is now even running out of body bags.

At least 1 million people were forced to flee their homes in one week alone. A river of people continues to flow south.

No place is safe in📍#Gaza.

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

.@UNRWA shelters in #Gaza and northern Gaza are no longer safe. This is unprecedented.  

This war should be no exception, protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure, including United Nations buildings, applies to this conflict too.

Wars have rules.

International Law Barbie is thinking of starting a journal for when you have an decent idea but are not sure the research will yield anything. She's gonna call it the "International Journal of 'Huh, So Here's a Thing'". Or possibly "The Journal of 'Would You Look at That'"

I've seen enough: in a major victory for the pro-choice side, Ohio Issue 1 (a measure to raise the threshold to pass a state constitutional amendment to 60%) fails.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

When it comes to the right to enjoy asylum, there is no room for homophobia, transphobia and biphobia.

Today and everyday, we will always fight for everyone’s right to safety, including forcibly displaced LGBTIQ+ people.
