A decade ago, an image of the lifeless body of toddler Aylan Kurdi became a symbol of the many lives tragically lost in the Med in search of safety. It should have inspired humane EU action. Instead, its response has been marred by contradictions. Learn more: www.rescue.org/eu/article/d...

On 10th July 2025, the EU and Israel struck a deal to allow 'substantial' humanitarian aid into Gaza. The IRC and partners are tracking the state of implementation of this deal.

"What we're seeing in Gaza today is a distribution that goes against every principle, every good practice of modern humanitarian aid. It's unsafe and dehumanising... It's insufficient and inadequate." IRC Senior Vice President for Crisis Response Ciaran Donnelly on @cnn-news.bsky.social

Recent reports of children in Gaza being killed while waiting for nutritional supplements and drinking water are horrifying. The reckless killing of children is plainly illegal. We call on all parties to the conflict to uphold international humanitarian law and protect children’s lives.

The proposal to create a €200bn EU external action budget could be cause for optimism. But the merger of external action instruments must be managed carefully, or people in the world’s most fragile countries risk being hit hardest. Our full statement ↓ www.rescue.org/eu/press-rel...

As Denmark kicks off its 🇪🇺 Presidency this week, the EU has a golden opportunity to better support people caught in the crosshairs of conflict, climate change, economic crisis. Here are six key priorities that should be high on its agenda ↓ @eu2025dk.bsky.social

📢The EU's recent 'safe country' proposals risk outsourcing asylum responsibilities and undermining refugee protection. With 50+ NGOs, we're calling on the EU and member states to reject any attempts to weaken protection for asylum seekers. www.caritas.eu/joint-call-t...

JOINT STATEMENT: The EU's new 'safe country' proposals appear to be part of a broader strategy to externalise the EU’s migration management. With 52 NGOs, we're calling on the EU and member states to reject any attempts to weaken protection for asylum seekers. → www.rescue.org/eu/resource/...

It was a full-house for last night's event "We're Better Together", where we enjoyed a lively discussion on how to improve refugee integration and access to the labour market. Here are three key takeaways ↓

We're excited to kick off tonight's panel discussion on how to improve refugee integration and access to the labour market. If you're coming along, be sure to check out the #BetterTogether exhibition showcasing refugees' personal stories, in partnership with @unhcr.org and IKEA.

With vaccine-preventable diseases on the rise, it's vital that donors fully fund @gavi.org's replenishment. As donors meet today in Brussels, we're calling on the EU to invest in immunisation, and work with NGOs to deliver vaccines in a proven, efficient, and cost-effective way.

This #WorldRefugeeDay, we're celebrating refugees' contributions to our communities. With the number of people displaced globally at an all-time high, EU policymakers must meet the moment and invest in integration. Our press release: www.rescue.org/eu/press-rel...

EVENT: It's your last chance to join us for a lively discussion on refugee access to the labour market next week. We're looking forward to expert insights from the Commission, Parliament, Polish Presidency, UNHCR, IKEA, the IRC and more. Register here by 6pm today: forms.office.com/pages/respon...

The EU's move to extend temporary protection for people fleeing Ukraine until March 2027 is a welcome step. But it must shift towards longer-term solutions so people can rebuild their lives with dignity and predictability. Read our joint NGO statement: www.rescue.org/eu/press-rel...

"In Gaza, it's living hell, that's the only way to put it... The needs are beyond desperate, they're not being met and there are straightforward ways to meet the needs in the very short term." Watch IRC President and CEO David Miliband on @itvpeston.bsky.social at www.itv.com/watch/peston...

As global needs soar to new highs, and traditional donor funding plummets, the foreign aid system faces a make-or-break moment. At #EHF2025, the EU must galvanise a coordinated response - among EU states and beyond. Learn more in the IRC's new report: www.rescue.org/report/new-e...

“We must think innovatively and outside of the box,” Sarah Penniman-Morin, IRC’s Chief Global Supply Chain Officer, tells #EHF2025. “IRC research shows that longer-term planning can create 30% efficiencies – you were reaching 3 million malnourished children, now you’re reaching 5 million.”
