Viktigt med kontinuerlig och systematisk dialog mellan lokala civilsamhället, Sida och Utrikesdepartementet, sa jag i slutpanel på #csoforum med bl.a. @jennyohlssonMFA. Lokala aktörer känner till behoven och bidrar till att skapa motståndskraftiga samhällen. Svenska Röda Korset Anders Pedersen

Romeo, a volunteer for Romanian Red Cross (Crucea Roșie Română), is one of the first faces kids see when they cross the Siret border from #Ukraine. Kids have been through so much. He hopes that the bubbles 🫧 — amongst all the other aid his team is distributing — can bring a tiny light into their day.

Not all scars are visible. In this shelter in #Mykolaiv region, we talked with mothers who fled fighting with their children. Along basic vital needs, we provide psychological support to families. There is no health without mental health. We cannot emphasize this enough.

Även om inte i tillräcklig utsträckning, så når hjälpen fram.

As stated by President Ursula von der Leyen, “Our actions towards Ukrainian refugees must not be an exception.” Discussions on the #MigrationEU Pact should build on the #EU's response to #Ukraine and commit to solidarity & a more welcoming Europe for all migrants. bit.ly/3BfaIdN

At RedCrossEU workshop with new an old colleagues, such as Svenska Röda Korset Kanika Thakar, presenting on SRC and Green Response.

RedCrossEU Director Mette Petersen: it's important to exchange #bestpractices: if we want to find solutions, we need to find them together. The EU should support this dialogue, encouraging Member States to include civil society in the design of national plans. #homelessness

Today EU Council plans to discuss #instrumentalisation of migrants. We renounce the codification of derogations in asylum, reception & return standards based on this political concept. Protection seekers should never be penalised contingent on how they reached Europe. (🧵)

Ahead of International #MigrantsDay, we call on #EU governments to proceed with the #MigrationEU Pact negotiations in a spirit of solidarity & humanity and ensure that border management policies respect the rights & dignity of all migrants. Full statement: bit.ly/3Yfb3rA

EU Home Affairs EU2022_CZ Ylva Johansson Monique Pariat Jeroen Lenaers Birgit Sippel MEP Fabienne Keller Tineke Strik Cornelia Ernst #MigrantsDay: Amid the increasing politicisation of migrants' lives, the ability to access migrants has never been more important. The #MigrationEU Pact negotiations should ensure that humanitarian actors & civil society can operate independently. bit.ly/3Yfb3rA

Mission completed, succesful Humaintarian Talk at #EHF2023 on challenges we face as humanitarian actors in getting efficient work done in areas here sanctions apply. Svenska Röda Korset.

Speaking at the ECHO Partners Segment, Kanika Thakar, Green Response Advisor, describes how we are working to reduce our environmental footprint in the field. EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 and SRC agree mainstreaming is key, but time, planning and more resources for capacity building is needed.

We are deeply concerned about the potential humanitarian impact of EU Council position on the new EU rules on granting asylum & responsibility sharing. EU Council LIBE Committee Press should improve the final texts for a human-centered reform. Our statement 👉redcross.eu/latest-news/mi…

Vår erfarenhet visar att det är oerhört tufft att nå upp till försörjningskravet. Ur ett integrationsperspektiv är fler begränsningar och åtstramningar i familjeåterförening inte rätt väg att gå ⁦Martin Ärnlöv⁩ ⁦Svenska Röda Korset⁩ #migpol #almedalen
