Heart-warming tale of Mama Carmela, offering a safe haven to Venezuelan @refugees in Ecuador. "I may not have money, but I have a heart for those who come." https://t.co/IYSvzBG2Eo

Total deaths on central Med may be going down, but we cannot ignore the journey is becoming increasingly fatal 1st 4 months of 2019: Arrivals from Libya: Italy: 208 Malta: 308 Total: 516 Deaths: 164 Let that sink in, 1 person is dying for every 3 that reach European shores https://t.co/zkp95y1QfV

@Caro50886110 Well I don’t know who you spoke to but considering we know there are people with strong claims to asylum, that may well partially account. Resettlement eligibility+ process may also be unclear. But difficult to say for sure as I don’t know who you spoke to & what circumstances

@giorgio_piras49 IOM do not assign search and rescue zones. @UNmigration are also calling for no returns to Libya https://t.co/5D8bdV1yb7

@Caro50886110 Thanks for raising this Caroline. Would you be able to send me the details to yaxley@unhcr.org and we can look in to it? UNHCR is not the ones providing food in the detention centres but I'll see what's possible for us to do

@Caro50886110 I'm not sure this is true. I don't see any cases of people choosing to remain in detention centres by choice. As for whether they have a valid claim to asylum, this is extremely difficult to assess in the current conditions in Tripoli

@Caro50886110 Hi Carloline, there is a helpline available. People can call our Tripoli office on a number of different lines: https://t.co/0Au0m0Mlyq

In 2019, on the route from Libya to Europe, 1 person has died for every 3 that have made it to European shores. There is no safe haven in Libya, but no State or NGO boats carrying out search & rescue. Absolutely clear, things cannot continue as they are.

@SalvatoreRubi20 @CarlottaSami thankfully, we are not in a situation where we have to choose one or the other. I see you are in Milan. To help people in Italy who need food, @BancoAlimentare do great work https://t.co/rzxsl791SF

Around 160 people reportedly returned to Libya last night. Some likely refugees, fleeing war & violence, only to find themselves caught up in a living nightmare in Tripoli. Int'l community MUST act. Urgent need for evacuation of all currently in Tripoli detention centres. https://t.co/AXMH4ncVMh
