The leaders of Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic have signed a joint letter calling for the European Union to provide more funding for Ukrainian refugees on their respective territories. "The refugees actually reside predominantly and in large numbers in just a few member states," the letter says. "Our countries' capacities are strained: more than 50% of Ukrainian refugees who have entered the European Union live in Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic." The letter calls on the EU to help the three countries share the burden of supporting large numbers of displaced people who were force...

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told German media he wants to make the issue of migration a focal point of the forthcoming Hungarian presidency of the European Union.

The EU presidency is held on a rotating six-month basis with Hungary to take over the role from Belgium on July 1. Orbán said that Hungary is already implementing a policy which sees asylum applications...

Riham is heavily pregnant and just days away from giving birth, but she has no idea who will cover her hospital expenses. She fled Gaza when she was six months pregnant and has repeatedly asked the Palestinian embassy in Egypt for help, so far in vain. "All I got was promises that everything will be fine." Riham is one of more than 100,000 Palestinians who fled to Egypt to escape the fighting in Gaza. "Now, I should give birth in a week and nothing happened." Most are in Cairo, stuck in limbo, unable to return to Gaza but also unable to start a new life, either. She and her compatriots lack th...

Hungary has been ordered by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to pay a fine of €200 million ($216 million) and a further €1 million per day for not implementing a previous ruling to change its asylum policies. The decision by the judges in Luxembourg is the latest in a series of reprimands for Hungary, where the right-wing nationalist government has often been criticized by the European Commission for its rigid refugee policy. In previous judgements, the ECJ has declared significant parts of the Hungarian asylum system to be unlawful. Thursday's ruling followed a court judgement in December ...

Hungary has been ordered by the European Court of Justice to pay a fine of €200 million ($216 million) and a further €1 million per day for not implementing previous rulings to change its asylum policies.

According to a court press release on Thursday, the failure to implement that judgement "constitutes an unprecedented and extremely serious infringement of EU law." The judges ruled that "Hungary has not taken the measures necessary...

Lina Yamin and six other musicians found themselves breathing heavily as they held back tears while performing Monday for a special crowd. The 33-year-old from Venezuela said the musicians, most of whom come from other countries themselves, tried to keep it together as they played a concert for a room of recently arrived migrants. “When you’re away from home playing music, it makes you miss a lot of things. It makes you remember a lot of things,” she said. The concert was held in the auditorium of a migrant shelter at the American Islamic College on Memorial Day. The music was comforting to ma...

Germany defender Joshua Kimmich has reacted with great displeasure to a survey shortly before the home Euro 2024, according to which one in five Germans would prefer to see more white players in the Germany national team again. "Anyone who grew up playing football knows that this is absolute nonsense. Football in particular is an example of how you can unite different nations, different skin colours and different religions," Kimmich said on Saturday. "That's also what our team is about. I would miss many, many players very, very much if they weren't here. That is absolutely racist and has no p...
