    8. With the expiry of the relocation scheme in September 2017, there is now little scope for happy endings like this. Under the current , the family would have waited much longer before being united. Ivan instead may have been left behind.

    7. Fortunately for the family, in 2015 EU leaders agreed an emergency 2-year scheme to distribute refugees from 🇬🇷 and 🇮🇹 to other EU countries. Through this process, the family were eventually reunited in Germany in March 2017, ending a long separation.

    6. In addition, Ivan, who is Alan and Gyan’s brother and one of their carers, was outside the scope of the Dublin rules. Leaving Ivan in Greece was unthinkable for their mother. As Amsha told us: “Ivan is my right arm. How could I go and leave him behind?”

    5. The family members in 🇬🇷 applied to be reunited with their family in 🇩🇪 under the EU asylum system, known as the Dublin rules, but it was taking far too long. For months, they languished in the squalid conditions of the refugee camp alongside thousands of other refugees.

    2. When the so-called Islamic State (IS) group captured their town in summer 2014 the family fled, but not all together. The father and one of his daughters made their way to Germany. For the rest of the family, the journey wasn’t so easy…

    *Thread* 🧵 This is the story of a family. A mother, a father and 5 siblings – 3 girls and 2 boys. They are from the town of Al Hasakah in Syria. It’s also the story an EU asylum system that’s broken and urgently needs replacing.

    BREAKING 🚢⛔️. With the operation rapidly descending into another case, it is worth remembering that Italy today is not going through a "crisis" in irregular arrivals. See thread 📉👇

    🚢THE CASE, WITH DATA. Sea arrivals to are on course to be the lowest since 2013, with or without onboard the Aquarius . 📉👇

    Salvini said this yesterday (ht ). Since taking office he has talked and complained a lot, and made headlines by saying outrageous things or fighting with a boat and other countries. But what he hasn’t done is put forward a proposal, or half an idea even, on anything
