Families in #Gaza have been torn apart and thousands are currently separated. Many still do not know where their loved ones sleep at night.

Today the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill will be debated in the House of Commons. As @AlexFraser321 says below, deterrence policies rarely work and cause great pain and suffering to people who have already experienced so much. #EveryRefugeeMatters

“I feel the government is in trouble and looking to blame someone, so they blame us” With all the wrangling over Rwanda, it’s easy to forget the people whose lives will actually be affected. Tonight we hear from young men who came here for safety but may be deported there #c4news

Our thoughts are with their loved ones, their families, friends and colleagues. 💔 Fighting near hospitals is an issue of life and death for humanitarian workers. ⬇

Humanitarian workers are risking their lives and must be protected. Since the beginning of the conflict, twelve PRCS staff and volunteers have tragically been killed, and three from Israel’s Magen David Adom. This suffering must end. #NotATarget

The number of claims being removed from the asylum system is really shocking. British Red Cross 🧡 warns its putting people at risk of destitution and exploitation. Thanks Joely Santa Cruz for such a detailed report on this news.sky.com/story/withdraw…

The entire population of Gaza – over 2 million people – is now experiencing a food crisis. Over one million people are crammed into Rafah and their food and health needs are growing by the day. Further north, the situation is increasingly desperate. Find out more: a thread ⬇

We know many people seeking safety in the UK will be distressed by the news and how it might affect them. The UK needs an efficient, supportive and more compassionate asylum system that makes decisions on people’s claims quickly and correctly. ⬇️

It's heartbreaking to see this. Repairing the physical damage in Sunderland will be a huge job but what's really important is the services they provide. The wonderful team at @sunderlandCAB are determined to continue being there for the community - they will need all our support

Living in a tent offers little protection, but even when they had 4 walls around them, they were not safe. What the emergency response volunteers of PRCS deal with is beyond imagination - and they are still there, helping daily

Too many people are being forced to take dangerous journeys to find safety, because they have no other option. Today, the Home Office revealed that the number of Channel crossings increased in 2024, to 25% higher than in 2023. #SafeRoutes

Our aid workers were killed and thrown into a mass grave in Gaza. Our staff’s red uniforms should have protected them. Instead they became their death shrouds. This should never happen again. For the sake of humanity. My op-ed in The Guardian: bit.ly/3YiQZpA
