1/ Im #Libanon sind > 20% der Einwohner*innen #Geflüchtete.
90% davon leben in #Armut.
Dennoch sollen dort noch mehr Geflüchtete bleiben, dafür soll es Geld von der #EU geben.

"Im #Libanon waren im März 2022 knapp 840.000 syrische #Flüchtlinge offiziell beim Flüchtlingshilfswerk der Vereinten Nationen (#UNHCR) registriert."
At the #UN Human Rights Council, the representative of South Africa condemns attacks on the UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese and called for those responsible for the intimidation and harassment to stop.

#Israel has said it has informed the families of 31 people held in the territory since 7 October that their relatives are dead. The news came as the Qatari prime minister said #Hamas had given a “generally positive” response to proposals for a deal trading a break in the fighting and release of #Palestinian prisoners for the return of more #hostages.
"Another refugee crisis from #Gaza into #Egypt, I can assure you... would make the resolution of the #Palestinian refugee question as a consequence of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict impossible," Grandi told Reuters at #UNHCR headquarters in #Geneva. #Israel
Und wenn unter den ganzen Hamas-Leuten auch 50 Gerechte bei der #UNRWA arbeiten, willst Du UNWRA noch immer zerstören und die 50 mit?
Bei 50 Gerechten soll UNWRA bleiben!
Und wenn von den 50 nur 5 fehlen?
Auch bei 45 soll es bestehen.
Und bei 30?
Auch bei 30.
Und 20?
20 geht klar.
10?
Dank 10 Gerechter soll UNWRA bestehen!
Dreht euch nicht um, weint UNRWA keine Träne nach, sonst erstarrt ihr alle zu Salzsäulen. #UNHCR kann sofort übernehmen, falls ihr der UN das zutraut.

Since I understand #australia is pausing funds to #UNHCR while investigating atrocities by #Hamas in #Israel should I assume Australia is also pausing military aid to Israel while atrocities are investigated in #Gaza?
(If I am indeed missing some #nuance , please be gentle.)
#UNHCR recently addressed the issue of #NorthKorean#refugees in #China, marking a notable shift in their approach. The UNHCR said China must acknowledge the severity of the situation faced by #defectors & urged China to “take all measures to ensure viable & effective #humanitarian space for those #AsylumSeekers,” including issuing identification cards & legal residency documents. It’s a call to refrain from repatriating #NorthKoreanRefugees.

"OHCHR OPT has received disturbing information alleging that Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) summarily killed at least 11 unarmed Palestinian men in front of their family members in Al Remal neighbourhood, Gaza City, which raises alarm about the possible commission of a war crime. This comes in the wake of earlier allegations concerning the deliberate targeting and killing of civilians at the hands of Israeli forces" #Israel#Palestine#UNHCR#WarCrimes#Gaza

Escalating #violence across the #Darfur region in #Sudan has sparked fears that #atrocities committed two decades ago could be repeated, the #UN#refugee agency, #UNHCR , said on Friday, voicing grave concern over the development.
More than 4.8 million people have been #displaced inside Sudan since fighting broke out in April between the army & a #paramilitary group known as the #RapidSupportForces (RSF). 1.2 million have sought #refuge in neighbouring countries.

Restaurant run by Sri Lankan refugees in Thoothukudi completes one year, wants to spread its wings
The women, who had experience in cooking Sri Lankan dishes with traditional recipes, were offered a space owned by the Thoothukudi Corporation, to begin their restaurant; now, with one year up, they are hoping to open a few more branches.
Of course I'm very concerned about all #blackout of #communications from #Gaza & inability for #journalists to report to public, from the ground. My bigger worries about this intentional communications blackout is that it affects all #HumanitarianAid organizing communications & all on the ground #emergency#rescue communications. Those are the most important communications ATM for all civilians & aid workers, trapped under constant siege bombardment.
@msquebanh AFAICT, connectivity of the most critical parts is still up and running.
#UNHCR and others have multiple #SATCOM links and with line-of-sight to #Egypt connectivity to their #Mobile networks is still possible and working, espechally near #Rafah...
#GSM allows about 38km LOS connectivity, so abusing a #Satellite dish and shoving an #LTE stick should provide connectivity to #Israel|i and Egyptian Networks anywhere with LOS to a tower...
Sorry no words for this. 😢🤬 I added photo's from Al Jazeera. I will take them down when asked by them. For now it's to important to share. Netanyahu and his cabinet are the butchers of Gaza. Is someone going to stop this? If it was the opposite, the international community had already taking action.
Al Jazeera: Israel-Hamas war live: Gaza hospital attacked with thousands taking shelter
"* An Israeli air strike has hit al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City where thousands of civilians are seeking medical treatment and shelter from relentless attacks.
Gaza health ministry says at least 500 casualties in hospital blast. A UN-run school housing refugees also struck.
…
Aid group head decries ‘worst attack on a medical facility in the 21st century’
WHO condemns deadly attack on al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza
And considering the amount of cases #UNHCR infrastructure has been abused by #Hamas at gunpoint to launch rockets and mortars, I doubt the Israelis want evidence of them committing warcrimes livestreamed from the #CCTV cam of a #UN facility...
I'm not going to quote her loathsome speech, and you can read UNHCR's response at the bottom of the article...
One again, the #Tories seem hell bent on destroying any remaining credibility the UK may have on the international stage... which may have as yet unknown future costs (not that Suella cares)
Beim schweren #Erdbeben in #Marokko am Freitagabend sind mindestens 2.000 Menschen gestorben, das ganze Ausmaß der Katastrophe lässt sich immer noch nicht überblicken. Der #UNHCR steht vor Ort im engen Austausch mit den lokalen Behörden. Unsere Gedanken sind bei den Opfern und ihren Angehörigen.
Frontex, dass wohl als eine von der EU eigens zur gnadenlosen Bekämpfung von Menschen in Not eingerichtete Agentur bezeichnet werden kann, baut die Überwachung immer weiter aus.
Mit Millionensummen werden hier neue Überwachungs- und Kontrolltechniken an den Schwächsten und Wehrlosesten erprobt und verfeinert.
Wir sollten nicht zulassen, dass immer mehr sichtbare und unsichtbare Grenzen um uns herum gezogen werden, die uns alle zu Gefangenen machen!
Mauern einreißen! Frontex versenken!

"#Libya#ClimateCatastrophe#FloodDisaster#StormDaniel #Refugees#Migrants
Reported To Be Among Thousands Dead Or Feared Dead
According to #UNHCR spokesperson Matthew Saltmarsh (InfoMigrants), "The floods caused a mass displacement, adding to the number of people who were already displaced before Storm Daniel hit the country. However, estimates of flood-induced population displacement are not available yet."
Before the disaster, 46,000 Internally Displaced Persons (#IDPs) lived in the devastated eastern part of the country, where more than 1,000 Refugees are registered with the UNHCR.
However:
"UNHCR is aware that a larger number of forcibly displaced people that are not registered with UNHCR live in the areas hit by the storm and flooding", says UNHCR
30% of the estimated 705,746 Migrants hosted by Libya live in the eastern part.
Laut Matthew Saltmarsh, Sprecher des #UNHCR (InfoMigrants), "verursachten die Überschwemmungen eine Massenflucht, die zu der Zahl der Menschen hinzukam, die bereits vor dem Sturm Daniel vertrieben worden waren. Schätzungen über die flutbedingte Vertreibung liegen jedoch noch nicht vor."
Vor der Katastrophe lebten 46.000 Binnenvertriebene im verwüsteten Ostteil des Landes, wo mehr als 1.000 Flüchtlinge beim UNHCR registriert sind.
Allerdings:
"UNHCR ist sich bewusst, dass eine größere Anzahl von Vertriebenen, die nicht beim UNHCR registriert sind, in den vom Sturm und den Überschwemmungen betroffenen Gebieten leben", so UNHCR
30 % der schätzungsweise 705.746 Migranten, die von Libyen aufgenommen wurden, leben im Osten des Landes.
