🔴 The government's latest plans will push an already failing asylum system to new extremes of harm.

The uncertainty, fear & instability the proposed changes create will only deepen the trauma faced by refugees & people seeking safety.

🔴 #YEMEN: 18 million people are at risk of starvation.

Just 10% of humanitarian needs are being met due to funding cuts and restrictions on aid workers.

The international community must act now to save lives.

One year since the #Valencia floods.

Last October, a year’s worth of rain fell in just 8 hours, destroying homes and claiming over 200 lives. Many families are still rebuilding - and we are there with them, providing mental health support and helping strengthen health systems.

Billions of £ have been wasted on ineffective asylum accommodation. Safe, community-based and cost-efficient housing is possible and should be a priority, if only on medical grounds.

After two years of genocide, we welcome the ceasefire and hostage release.

Hope has risen before, only to be crushed by renewed violence. This ceasefire must hold.

Humanitarian aid must reach Palestinians NOW. We are ready at the border with a mobile clinic and 115 pallets of supplies.

Humanitarian aid must be protected.

We strongly condemn Israel's attacks on the #GlobalSumudFlotilla last night, including drone strikes and explosions.

There is no justification for blocking a peaceful mission delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza. Read more 🔗 shorturl.at/mfMMG

65,000 dead, including 20,000 children. 90% of residents forcibly displaced. Famine declared. Aid blocked and militarised. Humanitarian workers targeted and killed.

A UN Commission declares Israel is committing genocide in #Gaza. We call on States: stop being complicit and act.

Hate does not belong on our streets.

For years, migrants, refugees & racialised communities have faced racist rhetoric. This weekend, that hostility spilled onto the streets in full force.

The fear targeted communities must be feeling needs to be recognised. We stand with them against hate.

We’ll be at Migrant Connections Festival at the end of this month!

Alongside amazing music, food, dance and art, our stall will share clear advice on your healthcare rights in the UK and how to access care.

Come say hello, pick up resources, and join the celebration! 🎶💃

With anti-migrant protests and racist intimidation rife, refugees need more support than ever - not to be forced to live on the streets.

Homelessness harms both mental and physical health. The government must reverse this decision and give people the time they need to rebuild their lives safely.
August 29, 2025 at 11:38 AM
We stand in solidarity with refugees and asylum seekers - now and always.

As racist intimidation continues outside asylum hotels this year, we remain committed to ensuring our patients have access to healthcare and support.

We must nurture a nation that cares for all 💙

Every morning, the same question echoes across #Gaza: “Will I eat today?”

We stand with over 100 aid and rights groups condemning the Israeli government’s siege and violence 🔗 shorturl.at/c9pB4

Mass starvation is sweeping #Gaza. Palestinians continue to be killed by Israeli forces while seeking food.

Our Executive Director Simon Tyler spoke to @middleeasteye-rss.bsky.social as we stood in solidarity in Parliament Sqaure - holding everyday items that represent unbearable loss.

In the UK, we continue to demand routes for asylum - and a system that protects people, not political reputations. 🧵(5/5)
July 18, 2025 at 12:12 PM
Since the Taliban seized power in 2021, the UK's pledged asylum routes have repeatedly failed Afghans.

This has caused countless Afghan refugees to risk dangerous Channel crossings to seek safety.

Meanwhile, the government vilified these crossings - despite Afghans having no other choice. 🧵(3/5)
July 18, 2025 at 12:12 PM
In response to the 2022 data breach, the UK government secretly opened a safe route for those at risk. This severely under-delivered.

Fewer than a quarter of those impacted by the data leak have been or will be brought to safety. 🧵(2/5)
July 18, 2025 at 12:12 PM
Afghan allies have been failed by the UK immigration system - again. A thread 🧵

All safe routes for Afghans who supported British forces have closed - just as it emerged that a long-concealed government data leak had put 100,000 Afghans at grave risk under Taliban rule. (1/5)
