Source: United Nations (video statements)

Intensifying hostilities across the Middle East have triggered significant population movement, while clashes along the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan have forced thousands of families to flee. Overall, more than 330,000 people have been forcibly displaced, mostly within their own countries.

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is already supporting displaced populations and preparing to scale up its assistance as needed. We are also urgently calling for dialogue and de-escalation as violence intensifies.

“For far too long, 18th Street and other criminals have been allowed to turn one of the city’s most beautiful public spaces into a crime-infested pit. That ends today,” said First Assistant United States Attorney Bill Essayli. “We are committed to eliminating violent organized crime and open-air drug markets from Los Angeles.”

Source: European Commission (video statements)

The priority for the European Commission is to help bring European citizens stranded in the Gulf region safely back home. The EU Civil Protection Mechanism has already been activated by 18 countries and has helped over 1,000 EU citizens return to Europe on 10 flights organised under it. When at least 30% of seats are offered to other EU nationals, the European Commission can co-finance up to 75% of the transport costs, supporting Member States in organising flights and logistics in close cooperation with consular authorities. The EU and its Member States work together to bring its citizens home safely.
