The European Commission said today it was examining whether a Hungarian law withdrawing state-funded shelter from Ukrainian refugees from regions not directly impacted by the war is in line with EU asylum rules, while Budapest said it was targeting only those who are able but unwilling to work. Some 120 Ukrainian citizens, mainly women and children of Roma ethnicity, were evicted from a privately run shelter in the town of Kocs on Wednesday (21 August), the day a government decree took effect which limits eligibility for accommodation to people from regions – currently 13, in the east and sout...

A Hungarian government decree amending rules on support for refugees fleeing war in Ukraine means thousands face being turfed out of emergency accommodation – and evictions have already begun, according to human rights advocates. Under the decree issued in June, as of today (21 August) only refugees from parts of Ukraine deemed to be affected by conflict are now eligible for free housing from the Hungarian state. There are currently 13 regions on the list, none of them in the westernmost part of the country. This leaves several thousand Ukrainian citizens, notably from the western Transcarpath...

Italy’s controversial plan to open migrant processing centres in Albania has been delayed. Officials cite construction issues at the Gjadër site primarily due to the region's hot weather. Initially set to open on Thursday, the centres are expected to be operational in several weeks, according to Italian Cabinet Secretary Alfredo Mantovano. The agreement signed last year by Italy's Premier Giorgia Meloni and Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama aims to process the asylum claims of migrants rescued at sea while keeping them in Albania, a move that has garnered both criticism and support. Locally, re...

Ireland is to significantly reduce welfare payments for refugees from Ukraine. From 1 September onward, weekly state payments to refugees will be reduced from €232 per week to just €38.80. The decision has been criticised by left-wing parties in Ireland who say it will lead to an increase in child poverty and ultimately amount to being a political distraction from other domestic problems. “Well, the immediate implication will be a dramatic rise in child poverty in this country," Paul Murphy, a Teachta Dála from the People Before Profit party, told Euronews. “We know that the vast majority of U...

Slightly more than a third of the Refugee Olympic Team at the Paris Games are women, as female representation has continued to decline since the team’s creation in 2015. However, the 38% rate of women on the team is not the only drop registered. The Refugee Paralympic Team has less than 13% women. The number of refugees has tripled in the last decade. At the end of last year, there were 43.4 million refugees globally, according to the UNHCR refugee agency. Around half of refugees, internally displaced or stateless people are women and girls. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) emphasises...
