Relocation is a humane and concrete example of intra-European solidarity, that @Refugees actively supports. 927 vulnerable people, including children, have been relocated from?? in the last few months. It is crucial to continue such efforts through more predictable arrangements. https://t.co/uANa96exyf

The events in #Moria are a wake-up call of the long-standing need to address the precarious situation for thousands of asylum seekers on the Greek islands and to accelerate their safe and orderly transfer to more appropriate accommodation on mainland. https://t.co/8tHzobGslg

Update on #Moria fires: Efforts continue to shelter homeless asylum seekers. 5,000 are now in the new gov't-run site, which we help set up as emergency solution. Yet, what may be deemed adequate during emergency, is not appropriate for the longer-term. https://t.co/klXmSNKpcy

Thousands of people who have lost their shelter in the fires in #Moria need urgent aid and a peaceful place to stay to continue their process and gradually move to the mainland. Relocation to Europe should also continue and expand. We are here to support this. https://t.co/URGF6ECIB3
