Winter is almost here, bringing new hardship for people across Ukraine🇺🇦. Constant shelling & power cuts due to attacks make staying warm a matter of survival.

A clear violation of humanitarian law!
We send our solidarity to all colleagues at @MissionProliska and are grateful that no lives were lost when their evacuation vehicle was attacked earlier today in Donetsk region. Civilians & humanitarian workers are #NotATarget.
November 8, Kostyantynivka.
At 9:30 right in the city center, the only evacuation car of the @MissionProliska Humanitarian Mission was attacked — the same car that daily took people out of the most dangerous streets, where explosions were still heard.

A decade ago, we set out to end #statelessness. To work for a world where everyone can say #IBelong.
Since then, laws have been changed. Rights have been granted. And many stateless people have moved from a life in the shadows to a life of dignity.
We must continue!
The #HeroesofTomorrow: UN #SDGAwards Honourable Mention is @refugees's #IBelong Campaign.
Galvanized governments, civil society & communities to act—turning an invisible injustice into a global human rights priority to end statelessness.
