There is no migration/refugee crisis in Europe. Very low arrival and "secondary movement" figures are the opportunity for EU states to focus together on real issues like asylum reform, safe pathways and more+better aid to refugee hosting+transit countries. https://t.co/PXZAJuU9zE

More people drowning in the Mediterranean. Rescue at sea must not be taken hostage by politics. https://t.co/SL27smZm1p

Young refugees are active as community workers in Rohingya settlements in Bangladesh. They help refugees understand, speak out, be heard and participate. A great @BRACworld project supported by UNHCR. https://t.co/ZNUmLlNbx7

I am really proud to announce that Ben Stiller is goodwill ambassador for UNHCR, the UN refugee organization. I have heard him tell beautiful stories about refugees. He does it with passion and conviction. Thank you, @RedHourBen. https://t.co/BhorJ7K4wx

“We have suffered many abuses,” say Rohingya refugee women to @JimYongKim and @antonioguterres, but now we need your help to move forward” - at the @UNFPA safe space with @Atayeshe. https://t.co/twPuLE6rGE

Rohingya refugees in Kutupalong, Bangladesh, tell @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres & @WorldBank President @JimYongKim that they won’t return home unless their rights are not granted: citizenship, freedom of movement, access to jobs & services. https://t.co/ILyxVQeG04

President @JimYongKim & Secretary-General @antonioguterres, on a joint visit to Bangladesh, make the case for the @WorldBank & @UN to work even closer together to address global challenges: climate change, migration, forced displacement, epidemics, development. https://t.co/yMW3Pk5ySS

It is not enough to have political agreements between States when people continue to drown in the Mediterranean. Rescue at sea, disembarkation and safe pathways must all be urgently improved so that lives can be saved. https://t.co/NUZbq8IN8a
