@Sarita_Libre UNHCR is aware of this situation. We're working to see what assistance and support we can provide. It goes without saying that there is no effort to punish or silence them for speaking on Libya. The situation in Tripoli needs as much attention & action as possible

Leaving people without food is inhumane and deplorable. Shouldn't need saying. https://t.co/XN8faHYZGg

LATEST from the Democratic Republic of Congo More than 100,000 people were displaced in North Kivu in April alone, has become extremely dangerous, people facing an increasingly desperate situation as armed groups clash https://t.co/uLd9C242yz

UNHCR is doing our best to provide people with support. But we're hampered by lack of funds. Of US$47 million needed in 2019 for the response to internal displacement in DRC, UNHCR has received only US$6.2 million in contributions. https://t.co/uLd9C242yz

In and around Beni town, DRC, armed groups are targeting & kidnapping civilians. People are scared & fearing for their lives. Even kids are not being spared. Rape is being used as a weapon. https://t.co/uLd9C242yz

Aid is an important tool for putting kids in schools, people in to work & food on the table. It has a huge impact on reducing poverty, terrorism & conflict. In truth, wealthy countries should be paying even more, but great to see @RoryStewartUK defending the UK's 0.7% commitment https://t.co/z9Y0gARzRV

Shocking footage showing the scale of the destruction in Pemba from #CycloneKenneth More than 225,000 now understood to have been affected. People needing food, water, shelter, healthcare, & in the long term support with getting back on their feet & rebuilding their communities https://t.co/DNrrcPqwbq

Dire need for reinforcement of search and rescue capacity on the central Med, either by state actors or NGOs. Restrictions on the latter must be stopped. So far this year, 1 person has died at sea for every 3 arrivals to Europe. Shocking death rate on Europe's doorstep. https://t.co/65iqqnAEte

Hugely concerning news from last night. Having people returned to Libya at this time cannot be considered a 'rescue'. Libya is not safe for @refugees and every effort should be taken to prevent people being returned there. https://t.co/KqYLzm2oQG

@TilleyMarc @Caro50886110 @Nikopol5 No institutional silence, to be clear there is no safe port in Libya. Nowhere safe for returns and every effort should be taken to prevent people being returned to any port in Libya.
