The inhumane conditions that migrants face at the US-Mexico border are deeply concerning and must be addressed immediately. The current situation is unacceptable and goes against the basic principles of human dignity and compassion.

Migrants, including families and children, are being subjected to overcrowded detention centers, lack of access to basic needs such as food and water, and inadequate healthcare. They are also facing mistreatment, abuse, and trauma during their journey to seek refuge and safety.

It is crucial that we take a humanitarian approach and provide support to those in need. This includes ensuring access to basic necessities, such as adequate shelter, food, and medical care, as well as providing legal assistance and protection to those seeking asylum.

We must also work towards addressing the root causes of migration, such as poverty, violence, and political instability, and support the development of solutions that promote human rights and provide sustainable support to communities.

We at the European Peace Foundation call on governments and international organizations to take immediate action to address the crisis at the border and prioritize the well-being and protection of all migrants. It is only through a collaborative and compassionate approach that we can ensure a better future for those seeking refuge and contribute to a more just and equitable world.
