South Sudan has been flooding for four straight years, affecting a million people and swamping 2/3 of the country. The situation around Bentiu is particularly extreme: the northern city is completely surrounded, cut off by miles of water in all directions

When this war is over, if you want to visit Kyiv and you happen to be a bicycle freak like myself, I can definitely recommend these three long routes. Beautiful forests, broad highways, awesome sunny river banks will be at your pleasure’s service:

On Saturday, I visited IOM colleagues at our new warehouse in Kosice, Slovakia. In a few days, this site will receive over 1250 metric tonnes of relief supplies for distribution in Dnipro, Vinitza and other districts impacted by the war in Ukraine.

I am alarmed about verified reports of discrimination, violence and xenophobia against third country nationals attempting to flee the conflict in #Ukraine. Discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, nationality or migration status is unacceptable. iom.int/news/discrimination-…

If you're gonna listen to any speech about #Ukraine 🇺🇦, let it be this one. The Kenya ambassador to the UNSC perfectly explains how people across Africa understand Ukraine, and what the Kremlin's acts of aggression mean in our post-colonial world.

A needle 🪡, some thread 🧵, a sewing machine. Sometimes, the simplest things can completely change somebody's life. With EU funding, women and girls receive sewing training at @UNmigration's safe spaces in Bangladesh. See how it's helping them. 👇 europa.eu/!6NQ8Vc
