The EU-Turkey deal has resulted in approximately 40,000 people seeking asylum being trapped in appalling conditions in the five EU ‘hotspot’ refugee camps on the Greek islands, says Oxfam.
The Australian government should bring home Australian children of parents who may have joined armed groups and who are living in deplorable conditions in camps in Syria, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and Save the Children have said.
The Higher Defence council, a military body, has declared that all 'semi-permanent structures' built by Syrian refugees using materials other than timber and plastic sheeting in informal camps must be deconstructed.
Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims are being held indefinitely in 'political education' camps because of their ethnic and religious backgrounds, without any legal process.
The European Union’s deal with Turkey to control migration has led to policies and practices in Greece which are short-sighted, unsustainable, ineffective and dangerous, say Oxfam and 24 other NGOs ahead of the deal’s third anniversary.
A new report has revealed the wide-ranging daily challenges and fears faced by refugee children, many of whom reported witnessing brutal violence, killing of family members or their homes being burnt to the ground in Myanmar.
