✅ We welcome the @EUCouncil extension of temporary protection for Ukrainians fleeing war until March 2027. We call on the EU to back this with coordinated, long-term solutions for displaced people, as outlined in the Council's recommendations to member states.

Full room at the @Europarl_EN to commemorate the #cutro tragedy in which 94 migrants, including 25 children, died. Moving testimony from Italian coastguard who wished more people could have been solved. Safe routes and + search and rescue are needed! @CaritasEuropa

[Caritas Europa @CaritasEuropa]

We are deeply concerned about @EUCouncil's conclusions on #migration, which deepen the EU’s security approach to migration and externalisation. We remind 🇪🇺 leaders and the @EU_Commission that the right to asylum in Europe must be protected! #EUCO

On World Day of Migrants and Refugees #WDMR2024, we are glad to participate in the @iamCARITAS Migrared meeting in Bogota on global human mobility. Our @leilabodeux explained the migration situation in Europe and #Caritas continuous work to promote migrants’ rights and dignity.

We mourn the tragic loss of lives of 12 people, including 6 children, in yesterday’s shipwreck north of France. As long as safe and regular pathways are not expanded, these tragedies will continue. We reiterate our call for ambitious refugee resettlement: https://t.co/GRzEqv3Qox

📢Today, with 94 NGOs, we urge the #EU and its Member States to safeguard the right to #asylum in Europe and uphold their international obligations and the rule of law.

As 🇪🇺Member States are preparing to implement the #EUPact; on #WorldRefugeeDay, we stress once again that they must prevent blanket detention and ensure dignified and efficient asylum procedures.

Passionate, direct, and clear analysis of our @a_schieffelers on her visit to #Ukraine.
In this 👇@euobs piece, she explains why the increasing international military support should not come at the cost of humanitarian aid.

“Youth in shelter is more than just housing, it’s a place where unaccompanied migrant minors arrived in Belgium can put down their suitcases both literally and figuratively.”
Today, we learned more about @caritasintbe important work in Liege during our team retreat.
Thanks🙏

📢 JOB VACANCY:

Deadline: 3 June 2024
🔎 Job description: https://t.co/3I4TIsccWN

[Caritas Europa @CaritasEuropa]

🔴 Alarmed by the leaked @EU_Partnerships draft brief on international cooperation.
More business and less focus on human rights in the Global South won't help partner countries or Europe become better places to live.

Very concerning to see the #EU becoming increasingly inward-looking, seeming to abandon its commitment to #LeaveNoOneBehind and #humanrights worldwide. This cannot be what the next@EU_Commission will be about. #EUElections2024

[Caritas Europa @CaritasEuropa]

While #Lesvos has disappeared from the media’s headlines, the situation remains complicated for people in the EU-funded camp. Let’s not forget them and ensure they receive adequate support and protection. #MigrationPact

[Caritas Europa @CaritasEuropa]

A big thanks to @caritas_hellas and all the #Caritas organisations along the Balkan route for their indispensable work helping migrants and refugees. Needs remain high, and support for civil society organisations and people on the move should continue. 🧵

[Caritas Europa @CaritasEuropa]

The @Europarl_EN approved the #EUMigrationPact, and we are concerned that it will curb access to protection.
We now call on Member States preparing for the new #asylum rules to guarantee decent reception standards and no blanket detention.
New statement: https://t.co/x1HDO73z7X

[Caritas Europa @CaritasEuropa]

The #EUmigration Pact approved yesterday by the @Europarl_EN also includes a new Union #Resettlement Framework. We call on the EU to bring more people to safety. #SafeRoutesNow

People who fled the war in #Ukraine deserve a future! As the Temporary Protection Directive #TPD expires after March 2025, we call on the EU to extend the TPD or provide other forms of protection. Joint statement👇
