Every day we provide clean water to over half a million people in Gaza. Paula Navarro explains how we accomplish this and reminds that if we, and other NGOs, are forced to stop working in the enclave, hundreds of thousands of people will lose access to drinking water ⬇️

Demand was so great they had to book a second overflow cinema for the festival. ♥️😭 Nothing can prepare you for hearing Hind’s actual recordings and the killing of the paramedics in real time.

Art for Life, an art exhibition fundraiser for a refugee family stuck in limbo, will be held on Sunday 15 February in Canberra.

Last night, our hospital in Lankien, South Sudan, was hit in an airstrike by the government of South Sudan forces. One of our colleagues suffered minor injuries, and the hospital’s warehouse was destroyed. Attacks on hospitals are unacceptable.

“Patients will die if the government continues to block humanitarian and medical access in Jonglei... This must stop immediately.” In opposition-held areas of Jonglei, South Sudan, medical and humanitarian supplies cannot get in, and critically ill patients cannot get out.

Patients will die and lifesaving care will be forced to close in Jonglei state, South Sudan, if the government continues to block humanitarian and medical access in opposition-held areas.

For two years, we were told this was all lies and propaganda, yet the denial itself was a lie and pure propaganda. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Destroyed. Largely empty of people.  A ghost town. That’s the situation our teams found in the city of El Fasher, in North Darfur, Sudan, after a recent visit, following a brutal siege and takeover in October.

More screenings of Until The Sky Falls Quiet have been added in NSW and VIC, including a session with Antony Lowenstein and Sara Saleh untiltheskyfallsquiet.com

The human costs of the US administration’s executive actions that upended global health and humanitarian programmes around the world have been catastrophic. Our teams have been witnessing them ⬇️

Two bills passed the Senate last night. One will make us safer, the other puts the community at greater risk of extremism, bigotry and hate. www.instagram.com/reel/DTwJDsJ...

The Aus Gvt's new "Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bills" are staggering in their scope. They will change the nature of Australian society for better (gun control) and worse (executive powers to cancel visas) but what is remarkable is how rushed and entirely under-scrutinised they are.

“The very real concern is they are targeting their political critics, people in the community who have been opposing a genocide…” Every Australian needs to hear this interview.

The Combating Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill has passed. We support its overall objective, but have concerns about harmful consequences now facing refugees+diaspora communities. We urge scrutiny to prevent deportation, detention & permanent exclusion from Australia based on speculation.

While it appears the major parties may have struck some form of agreement, and it remains unclear whether amendments to address some issues will be possible, we appreciate the opportunity and @davidpocock.bsky.social's continuing commitment to community consultation.

Yesterday @nteunion.bsky.social participated in @davidpocock.bsky.social's Roundtable to discuss the Government's legislation on hate speech. In the aftermath of Bondi, there was strong solidarity with the Jewish community and opposition to racism and discrimination, including antisemitism.

“The government is expecting me to vote on huge changes to hate speech laws at 10.30 tonight and they haven’t even provided it to us to read and we have asked and asked to see it” - Senator @davidpocock.bsky.social on ABC Radio Canberra.

It’s time to end offshore detention. Exposing people to cruelty, isolation and trauma has never made anyone safer - it only punishes people who need protection. Let's leave cruelty behind. Call on your MP to put an end to Labor's brutal offshore detention regime: https://pulse.ly/3xah1pljq1 📧

People fleeing violence in DR Congo are struggling to access water and basic health care in Burundi, where more than 90,000 are seeking safety. https://bit.ly/4bmjfPR

Torture. Ill-treatment. A breach on international obligations. It’s time to end Australia's cruel detention policies and deliver justice, protection, and dignity for people seeking asylum. Read more on the findings of the the UN committee against torture via The Guardian: https://loom.ly/9GgdLjA

A significant finding that supports our call to end offshore detention now. Australia exposed an Iranian asylum seeker to torture & ill-treatment during his years in detention, a UN committee has found, amounting to a breach of international obligations. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

It’s been almost three years of war in Sudan — a war that has devastated cities, collapsed essential services, including the health sector, and uprooted millions of people. Our Sudanese colleagues who sustain our medical work in the country, are among those impacted by the current conflict.

Poverty is not accidental - it's enforced by policy. Many people seeking asylum are denied work, support, and certainty. This is a systemic failure and it must change. Read our report on this failure of fairness and why we must fix the safety net: https://loom.ly/57QzZIw

Best wishes to Barham Salih, the new High Commissioner @unhcr.org. As he takes the reins, the challenges are profound. One in every 70 people on Earth is displaced. Recently, w/@refugeecouncilau.bsky.social, we called on govts to support UNHCR's enduring mission: www.unsw.edu.au/news/2025/12...

We're delighted to welcome Baroness Shami Chakrabarti CBE NEXT WEEK to deliver our seminar 'Human rights law under threat in Europe: Restricting rights in asylum and migration cases' on 15 January, 6pm-7pm, Chancellor’s Hall, Senate House rli.sas.ac.uk/news-events/... #HumanRightsLaw #Europe

“If the descriptions of what our teams see with their own eyes in Gaza — death, destruction and the human consequences of genocidal violence — are unpalatable to some, the fault lies with those committing these atrocities, not with those who speak of them.”

New year, new platform. 👋 Same fight for human rights. We’re officially on Bluesky — because human rights conversations belong everywhere people care about dignity, freedom, and justice. Follow along. More to come.

As the world is distracted by NYE celebrations, humanitarian groups are being blocked from reaching civilians in Gaza. Complete SILENCE from Australia.
