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

Humanitarian solidarity takes many forms, from funding life-saving action to welcoming people forced to flee their homes. We recognize the countries helping shoulder that responsibility. See the full list:

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:

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:

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.

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. 🔗

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. ⤵️

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Humanitarians are working hard to support Palestinians affected by heavy rains in #Gaza. "We have run out of time," warns Humanitarian Coordinator Dr. Dr. Ramiz Alakbarov. "If supplies don't enter this week, we will miss the window of preparing for the winter." Watch.👇

Heavy rain has flooded shelters across Gaza, leaving families in another crisis. Tents are ready outside Gaza, but Israeli restrictions are still limiting their entry. Those restrictions must be lifted so essential shelter supplies and equipment can reach people now.

Ongoing attacks. Buildings at risk of collapse. Unsafe shelters infested with rats and insects. People in #Gaza deserve to live in safety and dignity. With winter approaching, more funding and the lifting of Israeli import restrictions on critical supplies are urgently needed.

"Some parents skip meals so their children can eat." In southern Afghanistan, hunger and malnutrition are getting worse, and less funding means fewer families can get the help they need. Families need food on their tables today, and ways to support themselves tomorrow.

Heavy rains and flash floods linked to El Niño are devastating communities across #Somalia. Some 3.4 million people could be at risk of flooding by the end of the year. For displaced families living in makeshift shelters, the floods have brought even more hardship.

Urgent health care can't wait for funding to catch up. In Afghanistan, funding shortages are forcing health facilities to scale back or close, while people in remote areas face long, dangerous journeys to reach care. Sustained funding helps keep essential health care close.

More than 10,000 Ebola cases have now been confirmed in DR Congo. In Bunia, people like Masika are helping communities understand the risks, recognize the disease and know how to protect themselves. Stopping Ebola also starts with trusted information, shared person to person.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ 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.

Conflict, displacement and restricted humanitarian access are deepening the crisis in #Myanmar. Tom Fletcher calls for respect for international humanitarian law, access to Rakhine, safe conditions for Rohingya returns and greater international support.

In Afghanistan, millions are left without food. As winter approaches, 15.9 million people face crisis-level hunger or worse. Humanitarian aid saves lives. But sustained investment in livelihoods and essential services can help families withstand future shocks.

“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⬇️

One year ago, El Fasher, North Darfur's capital, fell after 18 months under siege. Across Sudan, the violence continues. Civilians are still being killed, forced to flee their homes and pushed deeper into hunger. The horrors of El Fasher must never be repeated.

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.

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.

In Afghanistan: 📚 Not enough schools. 👩‍🏫 Not enough teachers. 💰 Not enough resources. And for girls – a ban on learning beyond primary school. Education doesn't just change one life. It changes everything around it. 🎥Watch to see what's at stake.

🔴 #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 left our colleague Zein Tayyeb with questions, memories and a different understanding of what humanity can look like in the darkest moments. In her own words.
