The lack of real progress on asylum from yesterday's EU Summit is a real missed opportunity. The situation is manageable. It's a question of political will. While the political tug of war continues, more lives will be lost.

Another woman returned to her house to find nothing usable left except one sleeping mat. Most are too traumatised to return their homes. Others have had their houses consumed by mud. Today, UNHCR delivered a first batch of tents to provide people with shelter. https://t.co/fz6KaolObO

Real opportunity today for EU leaders to take concrete action on developing a regional arrangement to the situation on the Med. UNHCR/IOM proposal shows the way forward. Q now of political will. Lives *literally* depend on it

@BKaysac Everyone us required to abide by the laws of the land. That doesn’t mean you get to stigmatise a large group for the actions of individuals.

@HGKrell Most Europeans are in favour of welcoming people fleeing war & persecution. Europe has a long and proud history of it, and played an integral role in establishing international refugee law.
