Just nu är det svårt att resa – och ännu svårare att fly och migrera. Men trots att gränser är stängda på grund av coronapandemin finns desperationen, risktagandet och förlusterna kring migration kvar. FUF:s lokalgrupp i Lund har gjort en hel artikelserie om migration.

During these turbulent times, ongoing humanitarian disasters are often overshadowed by the coronavirus.

The EU failed to answer Italy’s request for assistance at the beginning of the outbreak, […]

Currently, there are almost 50 million children that have been forced to leave their country of origin.
