Today I have the opportunity to visit the Ocean Viking and learn about the search and rescue operations of the IFRC network and SOS MEDITERRANEE Highlighting this work is more important than ever as increasing numbers of people undertake treacherous journeys in search of safety

The IFRC & National RC/RC Societies support over 14m people along their migration journeys, but as a humanitarian organization our actions can only go so far. We urgently need stronger political leadership & collective action to save lives. Read our full statement to the UN:

No human should suffer death, injury or mistreatment while seeking safety or a more dignified life in a different country or community. Saving lives, including through coordinated international efforts on search and rescue, is a humanitarian imperative. #MigrantsDay

🚨 The Mediterranean remains one of the deadliest migration routes in the world. In 2024 alone, at least 115 children lost their lives attempting the journey. Aboard the Ocean Viking, run by SOS MEDITERRANEE and the @IFRC, lives are being saved—but urgent action is needed. No one

In 2024, 7.8 million disaster displacements occurred in Africa alone (IDMC). As climate impacts grow, the urgency for action rises. Locally led solutions help communities adapt, stay resilient, and make choices on their own terms. Learn more: bit.ly/4k7WMr2

🚨Deadly floods in Nigeria. Over 200 lives lost. Hundreds missing. Thousands displaced. The Nigerian Red Cross Society HQ , with support from the @IFRC, is on the ground: rescuing survivors, providing food, water, psychosocial support, and working around the clock alongside local authorities.

Thank you Ambassador Ambassador James Larsen 🇦🇺🇺🇳 for organizing this important event and inviting IFRC to share reflections. The declaration and what we hope it will achieve is vital as we focus on concrete impacts to save lives. We welcome the efforts by Australia and the ministerial group.

The IFRC is calling for support to respond to a massive surge in people returning to Afghanistan from Iran, with over 1.2 million crossing the border already this year. Our appeal is underfunded & without more help, افغاني سره میاشت may have to scale back. bit.ly/44yVGxV
