🚨Refugee travel news LIVE: Without safe routes, refugees are being forced to risk their lives on dangerous journeys to find safety and family here. We’ve joined forces with @benandjerrysUK to demand a humane system for refugees - because safe routes save lives.

What’s happening in Gaza is unbearable. A permanent ceasefire is urgently needed. But until Palestinians can live freely in their own homes, Governments must step up to provide routes to safety. We won’t stop standing with Palestinian families. [4/4].

But family reunion applications can take months, while people are still trapped under daily bombardment and what the World Health Organisation has described as man-made mass starvation. Many don’t know if they’ll survive long enough for their case to even be decided. [3/4].

People we support, desperately trying to reunite with family in Europe, tell us they don’t know when they’ll next eat or access clean water. Some are making heartbreaking choices — leaving loved ones behind in the hope of getting their children to safety. [2/4].

At least 101 people have now died of starvation in Gaza, including 80 children, most of them in recent weeks. Children and families are being killed while queuing for food, and tents sheltering displaced people are being bombed. This can't continue. [1/4]

This is the moment Adan* finally hugged his family after years of waiting, fighting, and hoping. He fled Somalia at 16, after his family was targeted for refusing to work with Al Shabab, a violent armed group. He had no choice but to flee.

Ilse was just a child when she escaped Nazi Germany on the Kindertransport. Before she passed away, Ilse chose to support child refugees by leaving a gift in her will. Your legacy could be the reason a child finds safety. Learn more:

VICTORY: After months of uncertainty, progress at last for Syrians seeking safety in the UK. No matter what, Syrians must have the chance to rebuild lives in safety and with dignity.

The UK-France deal finally confirmed the creation of a new safe route to the UK –something we've long fought for. But questions remain about whether this will truly offer a real alternative to dangerous journeys. Learn more with our handy explainer now:

This is a dangerous move that could see refugees pushed back into danger without their claims ever being heard. Pushing people fleeing war and persecution back to danger is not policy; it is a clear violation of international law and humanitarian obligations.

He promised that people who have no other choice but to cross the Channel will be “returned in short order”. We’ve heard it all before. And it still misses the point: people risk their lives across the Channel because they have no other way.

If done properly, it could be a lifeline for some of the children we support, who’ve had no choice but to turn to smugglers since safe routes were lost after Brexit. But at the same time, the Prime Minister doubled down on the same failed rhetoric around deterrence.

The UK and France just agreed a new one-in-one out migration deal – and it’s bittersweet news. For the first time in years, the two countries are working together on a new – if limited – safe route, which will allow some people fleeing war and persecution to find safety here.

This is what happens when governments put borders before people. As Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron meet tomorrow to strike a new deal on migration, they must reckon with the human cost of these policies.

But today, people are still risking their lives to find safety and family here. And with the Government's new citizenship ban, refugees could STILL be punished for having no other way to reach the UK. We'll keep fighting for refugee rights. Join us:

🎉One year ago, the inhumane Rwanda scheme was scrapped. It was a major win for compassion and proof that people power works. After thousands of us spoke out, organised, and resisted cruelty, this dangerous policy was finally consigned to the bin.

The Government’s own documents admit that the decision to shut down safe routes for Afghans could lead to a surge in small boat crossings. Afghans are already the largest group making that dangerous journey. Closing their last options for safety will only make things worse.

First year on the job… and we’ve got some feedback. Some promises kept but if people are still risking their lives for safety, it’s not good enough. Want to help us fight for refugee rights? Join us:
