Even in war, there are rules. In armed conflict, international humanitarian law protects civilians and limits suffering. It obliges parties to conflict to protect homes, hospitals and schools. In a world of conflict, the rules of war matter more than ever.

The Israeli military's repeated evacuation orders for most of #Gaza are fuelling even more suffering for Palestinians, many displaced several times. They have nowhere safe to go. These civilians must be protected, and their needs must be met, whether they flee or stay. More ⤵️

Homes destroyed. Hospitals struck. Civilians and aid workers under attack. Across the world, crises are unfolding in real time. But distraction isn’t indifference. It’s a reminder that what’s happening to others – matters to us all. #87MillionLives

Since conflict escalated in #DRCongo, those living in displacement have been forced to flee yet again. Temporary shelters are not safe. Aid workers are doing their best to deliver but they cannot do it alone. #DRC is among the hardest hit by global funding cuts.

People forced to flee are more than “internally displaced persons.” Behind every number is a story of strength, hope, and challenges. Here are the voices of families who fled violence in western Oromia, #Ethiopia. We pay tribute to their strength and determination to rebuild.

#Afghanistan has one of the world’s highest maternal mortality rates, while too many women and girls continue to face barriers to healthcare. Frontline health workers are supporting mothers and newborns, but they need more support, and these services must be expanded.

Floods have ravaged communities in #Afghanistan, destroying homes, roads and livelihoods. Some families displaced by earthquakes just nine months ago have been forced to flee again. Humanitarians are providing emergency aid, but severe funding gaps are slowing their efforts.

No one should be forced to risk their life to eat. Every day, United Nations teams collect critical supplies from Gaza’s crossings, bringing them to those struggling to survive. But movement is often delayed, and desperate crowds who gather to offload, are met with gunfire. #Gaza today⬇️

Instead of waking up to the start of school summer break, children in Ukraine woke up to airstrikes this week. Homes, schools and hospitals were hit across Kyiv, Dnipro and Kharkiv. Several children were among those killed and injured. Children must be protected. #NotATarget

45 million more people could fall into hunger globally because of Middle East-related economic shocks. Nearly two-thirds live in Africa. This is what happens when fuel prices spike and the humanitarian system has no room left to absorb the cost:

Fires are sweeping through displacement camps in Sudan. Families who fled conflict are once again losing shelter, belongings and the little they had left. Humanitarian partners are responding, but more support is urgently needed.

🔴 #Gaza: Rescue teams found the bodies of 15 emergency responders - from PRCS, Civil Defense and United Nations. Their ambulances were hit by Israeli forces. "They were here to save lives. Instead, they ended up in a mass grave." These abhorrent acts require accountability.

Hundreds of people killed and injured. Tens of thousands displaced and pushed into hunger. Homes, schools, hospitals hit. Since late February, renewed cross-border hostilities have worsened an already severe humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. A sustained ceasefire is critical.
