Rescue at sea is a long-standing moral & humanitarian obligation. It is also international law. This new law could lead to boats ignoring distress calls & lives being lost! https://t.co/peBrMEbBWJ

What would have happened to this group if @seawatch_intl wasn’t there? Return to detention in Libya? Potentially death? NGOs play a crucial role in saving lives at sea. Thank you SeaWatch https://t.co/V0wvJJIVhV

Incredibly sad news. A young Congolese boy in Uganda has died of Ebola. Crucial now that steps are taken to prevent further spread of the disease. Race against time. https://t.co/gkbMEuCqBt

Humanitarians are not smugglers To conflate the two doesn't help to dismantle smuggling networks, nor does it help save lives at sea People are still dying on the Med, NGOs play a vital role in saving lives. States should stop deterrents & restrictions that allow them to do so https://t.co/kSJUn7wi3l

Fences & walls are not the answer. States have a right to manage their borders, but fences can deny access to asylum for people fleeing conflict & persecution. Pushes refugees in to the hands of smugglers+traffickers https://t.co/XvjRzk9xwT

Tragic news this morning. 7 people lost their lives off the coast of Greece. Important reminder that while attention is often focused on central & west Med, more are arriving to the East. Need for a Europe and region-wide, comprehensive approach https://t.co/TbBYnCioHQ
