    In June alone, one person died for every seven who crossed the Central Mediterranean, compared to one in 19 in the first half of this year and one in 38 in the first half of 2017. People in distress must be rescued at sea. These are human lives!

    Imagine sound of the thunder. ⛈️ After your village has been burned to the ground. After you've fled. After you've survived the dangerous journey. After you're given a bamboo shelter to survive. After you realize the monsoon is coming. It's terrifying.

    Those shouting about a “refugee emergency” in Europe or America should visit African communities giving refuge to millions with small resources. Energies would be better spent helping people address problems here while sharing some of the refugee burden born by poor countries.

    A refugee child evacuated from Libya to Niger made this drawing. He could have been among the 220 people who drowned in the Mediterranean today. Let’s give more children safe pathways out of despair.

    We encounter Jesus in those who are poor, rejected, or refugees. Do not let fear get in the way of welcoming our neighbour in need.

    2/3 of refugees come from 5 countries. Peace in Syria, Afghanistan, Sth Sudan, Myanmar or Somalia could significantly reduce refugee numbers. We need to address root causes & find political solutions so ppl can safely go home.

    Last year, every 2 seconds a person was forced to flee home. They need our support, now more than ever. Remember: “No one becomes a refugee by choice; but the rest of us can have a choice about how we help.”

    Rescue at sea is not a choice. Regional disembarkation arrangements must become predictable. The ordeal of the Aquarius must not happen again.

    Denmark 🇩🇰 supports UNHCR globally. I hope that the Danish government will also consider my request to start again the resettlement of vulnerable refugees in a spirit of solidarity and responsibility sharing.
