One week after flash floods hit #Nepal, thousands of families are facing the devastating aftermath. Humanitarians have scaled up to reach affected communities. Additional funding from the UN Global Emergency Fund CERF is supporting the response. 🔗

Deadly flash floods have torn through communities in #Nepal, killing scores and destroying homes, livelihoods and critical infrastructure. The Government is leading the response, with United Nations and partners mobilized. More support is urgently needed. Donate:

Never give up on hope 💙 Swiss Humanitarian Aid Unit search-and-rescue team rescued a 6-month-old girl and her mother from the rubble yesterday in #Hatay, #Türkiye

AI can write, code and help create almost anything – except the things people actually need to survive. Food. Water. Medicine. A safe place to learn. That still takes humans – often working in the most dangerous places on earth. And it takes resources.

About 1 million people have been displaced in the #GazaStrip. Humanitarians warn that the population “is at imminent risk of death or infectious disease outbreak if water and fuel are not immediately allowed to enter the Strip." Latest update:

After the earthquakes in Venezuela, communities are not only receiving humanitarian assistance, they are helping drive the recovery. Their actions reflect the resilience of communities across Venezuela, where neighbours continue to help one another rebuild and recover.

Three years of war in Sudan. Millions displaced. Millions hungry. Millions still in need. This suffering has gone on for too long. Watch and share. Add your voice. #3YearsTooLong

Humanitarians distributed vital aid in northern #Gaza yesterday, including food, water, medical supplies and more. At least 17 patients and wounded people have been evacuated from Al Ahli Hospital. While aid delivery across the Strip has increased, Gaza needs much more. ⤵️

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 ⤵️

Heavy rainfall across #Nepal has triggered deadly landslides and flooding, causing severe devastation. United Nations has released funds for #AnticipatoryAction from United NationsCERF. This will enable partners on the ground to help communities cope with flooding. More ➡️

Brutal funding cuts are putting more lives at risk. 🔴 Food rations are decreasing 🔴 Health care services are shutting down 🔴 Nutrition treatments for children are being suspended Humanitarians are being forced to make impossible choices. This week on the ground ⬇️

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.

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.

More good news from earthquake rescue efforts! Today, just a few hours ago, #Oman search and rescue team هيئة الدفاع المدني والإسعاف - عُمان successfully saved an elderly woman from the rubble in #Hatay, #Türkiye.

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

#Myanmar must not be forgotten. Over 16 million people need humanitarian aid. Behind that number are families facing conflict, displacement and disasters. Protect civilians and fund the response. Humanitarian Coordinator Gwyn Lewis's message to world leaders at #UNGA. 👇

Afghans returning from Pakistan are trying to rebuild their lives from scratch. They need a safe place to sleep, education for their children and opportunities to earn a living. With a harsh winter approaching, they need urgent support now. Donate:

“A deadly and massive epidemic.” Ebola has spread to 7 of 26 provinces in #DRCongo, with over 7,200 confirmed cases and more than 3,500 lives lost. United Nations and partners are scaling up to save lives. But these efforts need to be fully funded to succeed. More from Julien Harneis. 👇

⚠️⚠️⚠️ Tens of thousands of civilians are fleeing Rafah under gunfire. #Gaza continues to be one of the most dangerous places in the world. The entry of aid has been blocked for nearly a month. Humanitarians must be allowed to deliver assistance.

First day on the job. A warm welcome to Mohamed Yahya, our new UN Deputy Relief Chief. Welcome to OCHA, Mo Yahya!

Every humanitarian response is about people. These are just eight stories. Across #Yemen, millions more people continue to rely on humanitarian assistance. With sustained support, many more stories of resilience, recovery and renewed hope can be written.

Globally, drones have extended the reach of civilian harm far beyond front lines. In Ukraine, civilians are paying the price. Technology is outpacing accountability. But the rules of war have not changed. 🎥 This is The Sky Over Kherson:

“The world should be absolutely horrified. The world should be absolutely outraged. […] There is no safe space in #Gaza.” 🔊 A harrowing message from Gemma Connell, our team leader on the ground, after a hospital in the region was hit during an attack. #NotATarget

“No more hesitancy. No more excuses. There is simply no more time for that. It is still possible to avoid the very worst of climate change. But only with immediate #ClimateAction.” A strong reminder from António Guterres. ⬇️

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⬇️

Homes, roads and bridges have been swept away by devastating floods in #Nepal's Nuwakot District. The Government, supported by the United Nations and partners, is airlifting urgent relief to communities in need as rescue and response efforts continue. Donate now:

From Gaza to Lebanon, Sudan, Haiti and Ukraine, civilians continue to bear the brunt of conflict. International humanitarian law exists to limit suffering in war. All parties to conflict must respect it.

Humanitarians go the extra mile. Sometimes across mountains, into the most remote communities to ensure no one is left behind. When people cannot reach healthcare, mobile health teams in Afghanistan bring healthcare to them. Watch how they save lives every day. #ActForHumanity

Deadly flash floods in #Afghanistan have destroyed homes, damaged roads and markets, and swept away livelihoods. Humanitarians are providing life-saving aid, but funding shortfalls put the response at risk. More support is urgently needed to help people recover and rebuild.

The humanitarian response in Nepal is expanding as the scale of the disaster becomes clearer. Tens of thousands need urgent support. Humanitarian assistance is reaching affected communities, but access remains one of the biggest challenges. Read more:

Against all odds, children in #Afghanistan want an education. They want to go to school, learn and build a future. They need the support and resources to make that possible.

How much more do those in power need to see before they act? It's time they #ActForHumanity! International humanitarian law is being violated, and civilians and aid workers are paying the price. This #WorldHumanitarianDay, Muzoon Al-Mellehan added her voice. Add yours and share.

🔴 #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.

#Gaza is suffocating. It has been almost 50 days of total aid blockade. “This is deprivation by design.” - Jonathan Whittall ⬇️⬇️⬇️
