Before racing to judgement, remember the recent past.

Not too long ago, Europeans were welcomed as refugees in Syria.

It might not look exciting or colourful.

But the items you see here are the very basics of life: sanitary pads, soap, toilet paper. Funded by your purchases at the Choose Love store, we’re getting these items type of items to the people who need them most in Greece #ChooseLove

[Peace Direct @peacedirect]

The broader sector must do a better job of ensuring women and girls can participate and take leadership roles in local responses, for example through actively supporting women-led organisations & building in budgeting for concrete actions. https://t.co/IDI1WH6NVk @irinnews

This week the snow came to Thessaloniki. This has meant that life as a homeless asylum seeker has become ten times harder. These images are from a street camp in the city center where people have huddled together trying to keep warm through the freezing nights. #RefugeesWelcome
