Hundreds of thousands are fleeing to Tawila after brutal attacks on Zamzam camp and the city of Al Fasher, #Sudan.

Families killed or missing. Aid workers executed. Kitchens burned.

Food, shelter, and protection are the top priorities.

Major donors have drastically reduced aid to #Afghanistan, forcing NRC and other agencies to cut support for the most vulnerable. In western Afghanistan, people living in makeshift settlements are already feeling the effects of global neglect.

DR Congo: Millions facing destitution as violence forces people to flee multiple times

The escalation of violent conflict in eastern DR #Congo has pushed 100,000s of people into desperate conditions.

The explosion of humanitarian needs requires immediate attention from an international community that has turned its back on people in crisis.

3/ Aid workers and humanitarian sites have been targeted repeatedly, further obstructing life-saving assistance.

Civilians must be protected. Aid must reach those in need.

World leaders must do everything possible to stop the bombardment and push the parties to a #CeasefireNow.

2/ Over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed since Israel broke the ceasefire two weeks ago.

Israeli relocation orders have forcibly displaced tens of thousands who fled with only what they could carry.

Because of the siege, aid agencies and local organisations have little to give.

1/ Yesterday marked one month since Israel imposed a total siege, closing crossings into #Gaza and preventing all aid from entering.
No food.
No fuel.
No medical supplies.
No tents.
Stocks are quickly running out. All World Food Programme bakeries have closed.

As the occupying power, Israel has a legal obligation to ensure humanitarian access. The restrictions must end.

🚨 Roads blocked. Aid delayed. Lives disrupted.

In the West Bank, Israeli military operations, a surge in settler attacks, and increased restrictions on freedom of movement are putting Palestinian lives at risk.
