Svitlana Zakrynytska glemmer aldrig den morgen for et år siden, da hendes mand vækkede hende hjemme i Kyiv med ordene:
»Det er begyndt«.
I dag er hun programleder i DIGNITY og gør status på årsdagen for den russiske invasion af #Ukraine.

⚫️ BREAKING NEWS
Italian authorities came on board the #GeoBarents and notified our team that the ship is being detained and a fine would be applied. We are currently assessing what legal actions we can take to contest.
❌ This is not acceptable!

🔴 Life-saving operations in the #CentralMediterranean are ongoing. Our team rescued 74 people, including many women and minors, who left #Libya yesterday night on an overcrowded and unstable rubber boat.

Ethiopia's allies are looting towns, arresting & killing civilians & relocating thousands of people from a disputed part of Tigray despite a truce between the government & local forces, witnesses & aid workers in the northern region say. https://t.co/mkemCqLjeL

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

With the death toll rising, we are seeing images of fear, anguish and terror in every corner of Ukraine.

The protection of civilians must be priority number one.

International humanitarian and human rights law must be upheld.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The decisions of the coming days will shape our world and directly affect the lives of millions upon millions of people - in Ukraine, in Russia, and beyond.

It’s not too late to save this generation from the scourge of war.

We need peace.

[DIGNITY @DignityDK]

Vores tanker går lige nu til den ukrainske befolkning og vores partnere i landet, der arbejder med psykosocial hjælp til traumatiserede ofre.

Behovene er enorme. Vi er i løbende kontakt med dem, og de fortsætter deres modige indsats under ekstremt vanskelige vilkår #dkaid #dkaid

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Under the present circumstances, I must change my appeal:

President Putin, in the name of humanity, bring your troops back to Russia.

This conflict must stop now.

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

#Ethiopia: Amhara security forces are responsible for a surge of mass detentions, killings, and forced expulsions of ethnic Tigrayans in the Western Tigray territory of northern Ethiopia.

[NorwayUN @NorwayUN]

The conflict in #Tigray #Ethiopia is causing a #humanitarian catastrophe & risks destabilising the #HornOfAfrica

#NorwayUNSC urges all actors to end violence & start dialogue

We encourage regional states, #IGAD & #AfricanUnion to throw their full weight behind efforts for peace

[Amanda Price @amandaruthprice]

#UN chief tells the Security Council "a humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding before our eyes" in #Ethiopia.

In #Tigray's capital Mekelle, @antonioguterres says food warehouses are now empty, and no trucks full of assistance have arrived for over a week.

[Gitte Rønde @gitteroende]

Just received news that two dear colleagues who were also #refugees from #Eritrea were killed in #Tigray I will forever remember them and the memories we shared. There is an urgent need to protect refugees and to end the #WarOnTigray @Refugees @UNHCREthiopia

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

“No Contracting State shall expel or return a refugee to the frontiers of territories where his life or freedom would be threatened on account of his race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion.”

The Refugee Convention is 70 today.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

WFP runs out of food in #Tigray this Friday. It takes 100 trucks per day to reach everyone we are aiming to feed. 170 trucks bound for Tigray with food and other supplies are stuck right now in Afar and can’t leave. These trucks must be allowed to move NOW. People are starving.

At this point, if the Nobel committee cannot revoke the prize, they should at least resign to save what’s left of the integrity of the institution.
