    Today, the Danish parliament has passed a bill, opening the possibility to transfer asylum seekers and refugees to a third country – hence externalize the asylum procedure. We find this idea irresponsible & lacking in solidarity. Read full statement here: drc.ngo/about-us/for-t…

    Important debate in @Europarl_EN this evening! MEPs discuss pushbacks at EU’s external borders. Our data collection – with partners – indicates that pushbacks & border violence are not isolated cases. A systematic practice, which some Member States are now trying to legalize 1/5

    It is with great sadness that we must inform of the passing of a colleague who died when a DRC car hit an explosive device in the Central African Republic. We strongly condemn the use of ordnances that cause undiscriminated harm! #NotATarget drc.ngo/about-us/for-t…

    The massive fire in the densely populated #CoxsBazar refugee camp today caused havoc and terror and left many - yet again - without protection and shelter. We stand in solidarity with the affected population and our country team is on the ground supporting with the basic needs

    Congratulations to the people behind the Danish movie 'Flee' with 3 different Oscar nominations. It's a touching story and a captivating animation telling the tale of the journey of an Afghan refugee child - and the secret he is carrying. @TheAcademy

    The situation in #Ethiopia, #Somalia & #Kenya is extremely worrying. Up to 20m people are experiencing extreme hunger following 4 years of below-average rainfall. The #drought is causing mass displacement & threatens the lives of hundreds of thousands drc.ngo/it-matters/cur…
