Morning everyone - I've just had this shared internally. This is a great 7 page document for a factual and widely accepted status of the current situation from all of these non-profits - I hope it helps!

Some real data to help make sense of any political narratives we see play out in Europe...

Additional reflection from IRC Italy team: Despite official sources reporting a sharp reduction in migratory flows along the Balkan route (with Frontex indicating a 79% decrease in transits in the first nine months of 2024 compared to 2023), the arrival of migrants in Trieste has not seen a significant decline. Data collected by IRC Italia and Diaconia Valdese at Trieste’s central station show that 10,424 individuals arrived between January and September 2024, only a slight decrease from the 12,190 arrivals in the same period of 2023 (-14%). The reduction is modest, leaving the needs of thousands of people in the city largely unchanged. These findings align with data from Slovenia, where the number of arrivals dropped by just 11% in the same timeframe compared to the previous year

Source for the above is: https://euaa.europa.eu/publications/latest-asylum-trends-mid-year-review-2024 Trieste Border Monitoring The IRC Italy program in Trieste at the Italo-Slovenian border served 2,032 clients in August (+34% compared to June), of which 28% were children. The three main nationalities of clients are Afghanistan (41%), Türkiye/Kurdistan and Syria. 65% of the clients expressed that Italy was not their final destination and confirmed their wish to settle in another country, while 28% of them expressed their willing to stay in Italy. All the data is available on this snapshot, as a part of the monthly protection monitoring report done by the Trieste team.

Then when it comes to Europe (because we see similar narratives play out)... Stats from European Borders ===================== Overview of Asylum in Europe: The European Union Agency for Asylum published their Mid-Year Review for 2024, from January to June. The main take-aways are: - The EU+ received 513,000+ applications for asylum. - The recognition rate - which reflects the percentage of asylum applications that receive decisions granting refugee status and subsidiary protection – is 46%, the highest level since 2016. The top 4 nationalities for asylum seekers in 2024 are Syrians, Afghans, Venezuelans and Colombians. Under the Schengen Free Area in Spain, Venezuelan and Colombian nationals are not required to get a visa to stay in Spain, which means they could travel there through a legal pathway by plane and then ask for asylum. Germany remains the top country of asylum, with 24% of the total applications, but with a decrease (–20%) compared to 2023. Spain ranked 2nd & Italy 3rd

With the information and narratives that have been thrown, hope this data I've seen shared internally helps - I've provided sources for where you can find this data below also... Stats from the US-Mexico Border ======================== CBP (Customs & Border Protection) reported a total of 2,135,005 Southwest border encounters for FY24, a 25% decrease from FY23. The Tucson, San Diego and El Paso sectors rank among the top 3 sectors for encounters by Border Patrol in the fiscal year, with 463,567 encounters in Tucson, 324,260 in San Diego and 256,102 in El Paso. Mexican nationals are the largest nationality group with 35,951 encounters, despite an 18 % decrease in Q4. Ukraine, Venezuela and Türkiye were the only country to have an increase in encounters + 94%, +18 % and +8 % this quarter. There were five countries with significant drops: Nicaragua (-176%); Ecuador (-151%); Brazil (-118); China (-66%); and Colombia (-60%).

Oh ps - If anyone is wondering what's going on in the photo, the above is water trucking being done by colleagues directly into communities, 100,000 litres of clean drinking water per day is being done - Water is just one piece of everything being done currently. "In Gaza, the IRC has deployed 12 teams of emergency medical personnel (EMTs) on a rotational basis; launched a Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition program and delivered 1,700 cartons of Ready to Use Therapeutic Food to northern Gaza. We are distributing 100,000 liters of clean drinking water per day; have trained caregivers on Psychosocial Support, provided men, women and children with protection services and connected caregivers with the Ahlan Family Corner social media campaign, which provides tips and coping strategies. IRC is also working with thirteen local partners to deliver; Early Childhood Development, Child Protection, Women’s Protection and Empowerment, Health, Nutrition and Basic Needs and Wellbeing."

Another update released earlier today - Full Press Release is below, but some key details I've provided below of what we're currently doing there - There's a ton still happening on Policy & Advocacy behind the scenes. To give more context, with 1700 cartons of RUTF, each carton can save a child & the EMT focuses solely on carrying out life-saving surgery. "In Gaza, the IRC has deployed 12 teams of emergency medical personnel (EMTs) on a rotational basis; launched a Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition program and delivered 1,700 cartons of Ready to Use Therapeutic Food to northern Gaza. We are distributing 100,000 liters of clean drinking water per day; have trained caregivers on Psychosocial Support. IRC is also working with 13 partners to deliver; Early Childhood Development, Child Protection, Women’s Protection & Empowerment, Health, Nutrition and Basic Needs & Wellbeing." https://www.rescue.org/press-release/conflict-middle-east-widens-irc-urges-immediate-and-lasting-ceasefire-allow

This was released overnight from my org - I'm seeing daily situation reports of what our teams are encountering on the ground as we have extensive Lebanese operations stretching back over a decade, but regarding what can be shared externally for now - Please see the full Press Release below; "Since September 27, the IRC has deployed mobile teams to address the needs of displaced Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian communities, focusing on unaccompanied children, vulnerable individuals, and those in need of emergency assistance. The IRC has mobilized a medical team in close coordination with the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health and our partner, the primary health care centers (PHCC) in the North. The team consists of nurses, general physicians, social workers, and community health workers assessing the pressing health needs of displaced people residing near health care centers." https://www.rescue.org/press-release/lebanon-irc-latest-assessment-warns-further-catastrophic-humanitarian-consequences
