Recent events in the Middle East mean many citizens need a safe route back to Europe.

Here is what we are doing to help, through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism:

🔹 We are helping EU countries organise repatriation flights.
🔹 6 flights have already brought citizens back to 🇧🇬, 🇮🇹, 🇦🇹, and 🇸🇰.
🔹 We are planning more flights over the coming days to help even more people return home.

The safety of Europeans is always our first priority.

@EUCommission The EU Comission is saying they won't let people drown in the Mediterranean Sea because they have the right citizenship: Noted.

Also noted that they don't simply say "evacuation" but have some strange need to say "repatriation flights".
