@NurDieZeitung @DerMestermann @JuliusBetschka @ProAsyl „Vertriebene“ sehen manche als Synonym für Binnenvertriebene, andere als Sammelbegriff für Binnenvertriebene und Flüchtlinge (Flüchtling laut Genfer Flüchtlingskonvention kann man nur außerhalb des Heimatlandes sein). Ich neige zu letzterer Ansicht, aber eindeutig ist das nicht.

@NurDieZeitung @DerMestermann @JuliusBetschka @ProAsyl Ja, wir bei UNHCR betrachten „Geflüchtete“ als abwertend. Oder zumindest nicht ausreichend. Wir sind alle schon mal vor etwas geflüchtet (Konferenz,Verwandtenbesuch). Das macht uns nicht zu Flüchtlingen. Das bleibt den Menschen vorbehalten, die wirklich internat. Schutz brauchen.

This video is not from today. But every week cargo planes, chartered by UNHCR, land in Rzeszów 🇵🇱 . And every day trucks or convoys from #UNHCR leaving from Rzeszów to #Ukraine 🇺🇦 , to help the people in need. We will not stop our work! Please, please do not stop your support. 🇺🇳 https://t.co/sUmD0s4OKX

3’000’000 There are three million refugees from #Ukraine now, according to #UNHCR. If these #refugees would form a country it would be bigger than Armenia, Qatar, Jamaica, Namibia, or Latvia. Or a third of all the 193 UN member states in the world! And 90% are women and children. https://t.co/rvpoDAKxLV

35’000 blankets. Thousands of mattresses. Sleeping bags. Solar lamps. Jerry cans. Kitchen sets. Tarpaulin. UNHCR trucks are going from #Poland to #Ukraine every day. By the way, the brave truckers are from Poland 🇵🇱, Ukraine 🇺🇦, and Russia 🇷🇺. And they are best friends. #UNHCR 🇺🇳 https://t.co/bkAR3p95FN

I met Irina and Valentina in Medyka and their fate touched me. That’s why I wanted to tell their story. And especially the one of Andrii. He became a refugee in the second month of his life. If you want to know why we should support #Refugees, read this story. #Ukraine️ #UNHCR https://t.co/vk7gb0KXPH

8000 square meters. A Jumbo Jet could park here. But UNHCR’s warehouse in Rzeszów, Poland is almost empty. Because UNHCR's relief supplies go immediately from 🛫 via 🚚 to where they belong: To the people in need in #Ukraine. Kudos to the drivers who are doing the tour every day! https://t.co/jlBIPnPguT

It is two weeks now. The two sentences I have heard the most: „When do you think we can go home again?“ And: „I miss daddy so much.“ #Ukraine #Refugees https://t.co/0HfCbdq1cB

The situation at the border between Ukraine / Poland is a little more relaxed. Budomierz reports no waiting time at all, at least at the Polish side. But snow and freezing temperatures are a threat. Remember, 90 percent of the refugees are women and children. #Ukraine️ #UNHCR 🇺🇳 https://t.co/nGv6rvIxN0
