La Commissione europea da anni propone un patto su migrazione e asilo che comporta molti vantaggi e qualche concessione. La tragedia di Crotone ispirerà a chi prende decisioni in Europa il coraggio politico necessario a farle? Sul @Corriere di oggi 👇🏻 https://t.co/2CV8yN3iEL

Thanks Majid Al-Suwaidi, Director-General of @COP28_UAE, for visiting UNHCR. It is crucial that #COP28 focuses on human displacement caused by climate change, often in combination with conflict: to explore practical solutions and find resources for prevention and responses. https://t.co/peCQplda9X

Another terrible shipwreck in the Mediterranean off the Italian coast. Dozens of people have died, many children. We mourn them and stand in solidarity with the survivors. Time for States to stop arguing and to agree on just, effective, shared measures to avoid more tragedies.

Tonight we think of all those who have already suffered hardship and losses in Türkiye and Syria, as a new earthquake adds fear and damage to the devastation. UNHCR teams continue to participate in the earthquake relief efforts throughout the affected areas.

More than 60,000 Somalis have crossed the Ethiopian border, fleeing armed clashes in their region. Ethiopia — which already hosts almost 900,000 refugees — once again has kept its doors open to people seeking safety. This situation urgently requires international support. https://t.co/XKJ93eyyD4
