Some of the 350 British refugee children who arrived in New York, July 8, 1940, aboard the British liner Samaria. They were the first large contingent of English children sent from Britain to be safe from the expected Nazi invasion (which never happened, but they were safe from the Blitz).

If you use arab.org like I do please consider taking the extra 30-60 seconds to click on ALL of their causes. Palestine is important but so are the environment, refugees, children, women, and the impoverished across the middle east and it doesn't take away from Palestine to click for multiple causes. The arab world faces a lot of problems and they only get worsened by how western nations have oppressed and attacked them. Clicking is small but it generates something and overtime it does benefit the greater good. It takes all of us clicking as often as possible but we can do it! It's really easy and safe and they have proofs on their site on how they do make an impact and are donating your click money

Home Office defies high court by placing 100 asylum-seeker children in hotels

“The UK Home Office has placed more than 100 lone asylum-seeker children in hotels in recent weeks, despite the practice having been found unlawful by the high court.

“The government’s continued use of hotels has been condemned by human rights and refugee organisations since more than 200 children have gone missing, including dozens who vanished from one hotel in Brighton.

“One of the reasons why children continue to be placed in hotels, some for a number of weeks, is that Kent county council says it cannot cope with the number of children arriving. The council’s geographical location means it has responsibility to take into care lone children who arrive at the Kent coast in small boats. It has warned that they are struggling to meet their legal obligations to UK as well as asylum-seeker children …

“The council says it is looking after 661 asylum-seeker children along with 1,030 asylum-seeker care leavers. In a recent court hearing, the Home Office admitted there were 130 newly arrived lone asylum-seeker children in hotels as of 15 August, some who had been there since before 27 July. More than 100 children are still missing from several hotels in which the Home Office placed them.”

Vault of Knowledge got me really sad while seeing spirit’s memories but these two in particular just made me so so sad.

And others in that place, I really loved their backstories and how they all became friends even after losing important people.

They found light within each other and I think it’s so beautiful.

Found family trope never disappoints

Displaced Palestinian children. Despite the bombardment, they still try to smile. Are these children less deserving of what children in the west have? Because they’re Palestinian!? Being Palestinian isn’t a crime. They do have names, and they have dreams. THEY TOO ARE HUMAN.❤️‍🩹

Update on the Situation of LGBTQ Refugees in the Rainy Season🙏🏳️‍🌈

Hello everyone,

I want to take a moment to give you a quick update on what’s happening with our LGBTQ refugee community. Right now, we’re in the middle of the rainy season, and it’s been raining for almost seven hours each day. These heavy rains are causing devastating floods that not only seep into our temporary homes but often dismantle them entirely.

As you can see from the pictures , the rain gets everywhere soaking every belonging we have and sometimes sweeping them away altogether. The situation is incredibly dire, and with nowhere to turn, it feels like an endless battle just to stay dry and safe.

These conditions have made it even easier for diseases like malaria, cholera, and typhoid to spread. We desperately need stronger, more reliable tents to provide shelter. Each tent can accommodate at least 15 people and costs around $350 to $400.

We are pleading with well-wishers and the global LGBTQ community to stand with us during this incredibly difficult time. Your support could make a world of difference in protecting our lives and giving us the dignity of a safe space to weather this storm.

If you’re able to help, please consider donating through our GofundMe and ko-if or sharing our story to help us reach others who might be in a position to assist.

Thank you for your compassion and solidarity. Together, we can endure even the heaviest storms.

With gratitude.

A group of young Hungarian refugees on board the naval carrier General Walker, which transported almost two thousand people to New York, February 15, 1957. They came to the U.S. as part of one of the largest groups of refugees through a sea bridge set up by the government. Once docked, everyone was taken to Camp Kilmer, New Jersey, for immigration processing.

Ahmed shared these photos from Nuseirat Camp on September 1.

Recent rainy weather has made tent life even more difficult for residents of Nuseirat camp.

Ahmed continues to document life in Gaza on his Instagram @ ahmed.ys3. He has a Go Fund Me campaign as well (link)
