We will see each other tomorrow - Shmoo wrote that the latest report from Deloitte and UNHCR indicated a positive impact balance of Ukrainian refugees on the Polish economy. He criticized those presenting their presence as a burden and cited employment data: in the third quarter of the previous year, 76% of Ukrainian refugees and 75% of Poles were employed. According to his estimates, their contribution was expected to increase Poland's GDP by 2.4% in 2025. The author also stated that servicing Ukrainian citizens was expected to bring the NFZ a surplus of 1.8 billion PLN in 2025. He noted that the average cost of treating a refugee was 884 PLN, while the cost for an average Pole was 4,640 PLN. Shmoo assessed that migration from Ukraine occurred at a time when Poland was experiencing a shortage of workers due to the demographic gap, and it could help the labor market and the pension system. He added that 13% of working-age refugees were running their own businesses in Poland, and since 2022, approximately 135,000 applications for the registration of sole proprietorships had been submitted. According to the author, these businesses were also creating jobs for Poles. #uchodźcy #Polska #gospodarka (translated)

It helped me rebuild my life and shape my own future," says the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Barham Salih. #utbildning #flyktingbarn #UNHCR (translated)

Guten Morgen zusammen, der 24-jährige Iraker Gailan Al-M., der in Deutschland Anschläge im Namen Allahs auf uns, in seinen Augen Ungläubige ausüben und dazu als ersten Schritt eine Kirche in Bremen angreifen wollte, weswegen er vor zwei Tagen im Landkreis Barnim von der Bundesanwaltschaft festgenommen wurde, kam 2021 über das brandenburgische Landesaufnahmeprogramm Jordanien für besonders schutzbedürftige Flüchtlinge nach Deutschland. Gailan Al-M. wurde zusammen mit 194 weiteren Personen aus Syrien, Jemen, Irak, Sudan oder Libyen nach Deutschland eingeflogen. Ausgewählt wurden die 195 "Flüchtlinge" vom UN-Flüchtlingshilfswerk UNHCR und der Internationalen Organisation für Migration. Zum Aufnahmeprogramm dazu die Integrationsministerin Ursula Nonnemacher: „Krieg, Gewalt und Verfolgung. Diese Menschen haben in ihrer Heimat sehr schlimme Dinge erleben müssen. Sie flohen, um ihr Leben zu retten. Und es besteht für sie auch keine Perspektive für eine Rückkehr in ihre Heimat, da dies für sie lebensgefährlich wäre. Im Rahmen unseres Landesaufnahmeprogramms werden wir ihnen in Brandenburg dauerhaften Schutz vor Verfolgung und ein Leben in Frieden, Freiheit und Sicherheit bieten. Es ist unsere humanitäre Verpflichtung, Menschen in solcher Not zu helfen. Das Aufnahmeprogramm ist ein Leuchtturmprojekt der Landesregierung, ein wichtiges Projekt unserer Integrationspolitik, vor allem aber ein Zeichen internationaler Solidarität. Weiter heißt es auf der Website der Landesregierung: "Bei den Aufnahmevorbereitungen hat das Sozialministerium in Zusammenarbeit mit UNHCR und der Internationalen Organisation für Migration unter anderem qualifizierte Video-Interviews mit in Betracht kommenden Geflüchteten durchgeführt, und auch vor Ort in Jordanien Gespräche geführt. Bei der Auswahlentscheidung wurden unter anderem die von UNHCR aufgestellten Kriterien der besonderen Schutzbedürftigkeit berücksichtigt. Danach finden insbesondere Personen -mit besonderem rechtlichen und/oder physischem Schutzbedarf, -mit Folter- und/oder Gewalterfahrung, -mit besonderem medizinischen Behandlungsbedarf, -mit besonderer Risikoexposition (z.B. Frauen und Mädchen, die durch sexuelle und geschlechtsbasierte Gewalt bedroht sind), -mit familiärer Bindung in Deutschland, insbesondere in der Region Berlin-Brandenburg, -ohne Perspektive auf eine Eingliederung in Jordanien" #Flüchtlinge #Integration #Solidarität
