A group of around 50 vulnerable refugees who were previously in Libya were resettled to Italy. But we warned that many more places, and faster processes, were needed https://t.co/qMkF0Cr1AI

.@UNHCRLibya tweeted an update when a group of refugees+migrants spontaneously arrived at the GDF after being released from Abu Salim. Presented a real challenge as GDF was already severely overcrowded+was designed to host people awaiting evacuation https://t.co/CZW6XbpkLD

Thank you Niger for continuing to host vulnerable refugees while they await further resettlement ? And thank you Switzerland for this vital lifeline. Urge other States to follow suit and offer more and faster resettlement places! https://t.co/SvW9qwYHYC

Conditions for refugees in Greece are unacceptable. Greece needs the support of its European partners. As an urgent priority, thousands need to be moved out of deteriorating living conditions to appropriate accommodation https://t.co/7pQafSeEPs
