Two Danish Refugee Council staff were killed and eight more injured in a Russian attack on a demining site in Ukraine. We at UNHCR stand in solidarity with our DRC friends and the people of Ukraine. Once again humanitarians have paid the ultimate price in a major violation of the rules of war.

1 year ago, our colleague Manuel Alejandro Tique was detained while delivering aid to vulnerable communities in Venezuela. From the Danish Refugee Council, we raise our voice for his release. His family, friends, and colleagues need him back. #AlejandroIsAHumanitarian #NotATarget

Migrant smuggling can only flourish as it does, thanks to involvement of state officials. In Libyaโ€™s, they are even actively involved in smuggling, while also benefiting from EU support to stop smuggling. We all knew, but good to have it on video now. theguardian.com/world/2025/sepโ€ฆ

A persistent myths in media, policy & political debates: #smugglers are luring migrants into irregular #migration journeys. Is that so? We asked 60,000 migrants. The simple answer is: NO. Coming soon: more evidence on how smuggling really works mixedmigration.org/smugglers-as-iโ€ฆ
