We are outraged and deeply saddened by the killing of two beloved members of the UNHCR family and extend our deepest sympathies to their families.
The protection of civilians is a must, in line with obligations under international humanitarian law.

🗣️ Tragic news: At least 49 lives lost. Over 140 still missing in the 3rd shipwreck since April in the Gulf of Aden.
This is just one of many dangers refugees & migrants face along this route. @Refugees & partners are trying to locate survivors to offer protection & assistance.

The risks of the West African route towards the Canaries is of great concern to UNHCR and IOM. We are calling on States to strengthen legal and safe pathways to provide credible alternatives to dangerous sea crossings.

🚨 Press release: UNHCR and IOM condemn the return of migrants and refugees to Libya.
In the absence of predictable disembarkation mechanisms, maritime actors should not be obliged to return refugees and migrants to unsafe places.
