If conflict in Libya is not stopped, COVID19+intensifying fighting could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe. Refugees in awful, overcrowded conditions in detention, with little/no access to healthcare, particularly at risk! Need for immediate ceasefire https://t.co/HzWAYU7YXA https://t.co/tqLb4Kyar1

MUST READ 5 Myths on NGO Search and Rescue boats debunked. NGOs play a crucial role in saving lives at sea. They are the 'human face of migration'. Their role should be recognised and supported, not criminalised or stigmatized. https://t.co/xSsFtiQ1O1

Tragedy on the Mediterranean. A boat was left drifting for days with no rescue mobilised. People lost their lives, drowned. The survivors have been taken back to bleak conditions inside a Libyan detention centre. We cannot allow this to become the new normal. https://t.co/5j2dsv38el

The deteriorating humanitarian situation, made worse by COVID19 and escalating conflict, means no one should be returned to Libya. https://t.co/isfrug0U5m

COVID19 needs appropriate responses. But war+persecution haven’t stopped. The need to rescue people fleeing conflict whose lives are at risk at sea remains. Health screening+quarantine measures easily possible once they reach safety on dry land. https://t.co/t7RiNBaqGV

Attentions might be focused on COVID19. But war and violence haven't stopped. Potential for a humanitarian catastrophe in Libya due to COVID and continued conflict. Now more than ever, Libya is NOT a safe place to return refugees rescued at sea https://t.co/s3aLIaTviJ

Covid19 together with current conflict could mean a humanitarian catastrophe for Libya. Many, including displaced Libyans, refugees+asylum seekers, have little protection+access to sanitation because of the war. Prices for apartments, food+fuel have risen https://t.co/gCwOveJ1sI

This is what social distancing looks like in Afghanistan. UNHCR and local community leaders making sure to stay a safe distance apart! https://t.co/KeMzO6kekk

Burkina Faso has one of fastest COVID19 infection rates in sub-Saharan Africa. UNHCR is warning the effect of coronavirus on the country already suffering from attacks by armed groups could be dire. https://t.co/LuGhJYw3ye

These stories are odd. NO ONE is travelling because they just can't get enough of the tube. Pointing the finger at people who have to, or have been told they have to, work not helpful. https://t.co/dvcXdMiJMT
