A new #Ebola outbreak has hit #DRCongo’s conflict-affected Ituri region, where insecurity and funding cuts limit access and worsen conditions. We’re supporting communities with education, cash aid, and preparedness for vulnerable children. Urgent funding and access are critical.

According to the @drcngo.bsky.social, 6.7 million more people could be displaced by the end of 2026. 💡DRC’s experience shows that empowering communities to become self-reliant is key to breaking cycles of displacement and building more resilient futures. 🔗 VOL #40: bit.ly/3Z1LSdx

𝗟𝗘𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗢𝗡: Calling on all parties to commit to a lasting, permanent ceasefire that is implemented in practice. ⬇️

Ahead of todays #Sudan conference CHA gathered civil society leaders from the region + Germany for a frank exchange. Many thanks to @Alain Délétroz @genevacall.org, Samy Guessabi @acf-de.bsky.social Eve Bradley @drcngo.bsky.social & Cecilia Thiam (Sudan INGO Forum) for kicking off our discussion

Three years of war in Sudan have triggered one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. Violence, displacement, collapsed services leave millions at risk. As the conflict enters its fourth year, civilians need urgent protection, aid access and action now. Statment 🔗 brnw.ch/21x1BOB

In Syria, explosive ordnance contamination is not just a protection concern. It is also a major barrier to recovery and economic stability. Humanitarian Mine action is critical to the future of the country. Read our new situation report: 🔗https://brnw.ch/21x1zWt

🚰 After years of drought, 6.5M people in #Somalia face severe food insecurity. Families are struggling with hunger, water shortages and displacement, worsened by rising prices, conflict and shrinking aid. Donors must urgently step up support. #drought #climate #emergency

Thousands are fleeing as airstrikes hit Beirut and southern Lebanon. DRC teams are responding to support displaced families. Aid is vital but cannot replace a political solution. We demand protection for civilians and greater support for Lebanon. #Lebanon #DRC #ProtectCivilians #HumanitarianAid

Raşa’s beauty business was destroyed by the earthquakes in Türkiye. She thought she’d lost her work and dreams. With support from DRC’s BRIDGES project, funded by @bmz.de via KfW Development Bank, she rebuilt her salon, her network, and her confidence. This #IWD, we celebrate women like her.

Escalating hostilities between Afghanistan and Pakistan are deepening an already severe humanitarian crisis. Our latest blog explains what is happening, why it matters, and the growing impact on civilians across Afghanistan: drc.ngo/resources/ne...

DRC is deeply concerned about the escalating security crisis in Lebanon, with Israeli strikes reaching previously safe areas. Despite the danger, our teams continue delivering vital aid in Bekaa and Tripoli. We urge all parties to de‑escalate and protect civilians.

Escalating violence in the Middle East is devastating civilians. As families flee Lebanon, DRC teams provided urgent food and water at the Jdeidet Yabous border crossing. Civilians must be protected. Aid is no substitute for political solutions. statement: drc.ngo/resources/ne...

This decision creates space for constructive dialogue and, most importantly, helps ensure life-saving aid can scale up in a predictable and principled way for civilians in Gaza and the West Bank.

Israeli efforts to deregister + silence humanitarian organisations threatens to collapse an already fragile aid system. 17 leading international humanitarian organisations have jointly petitioned the Israeli High Court to suspend the revised registration rules. 🔗 Joint statement: brnw.ch/21x0de6

As the war in #Ukraine enters its fifth year humanitarian needs across the country continue to deepen, particularly along the front line, where civilians remain exposed to daily shelling, drone attacks and damage to essential infrastructure. 🔗Statement: brnw.ch/21x0cGu

As @hadjalahbib.bsky.social visits DRCongo, we welcome her call for unimpeded #HumanitarianAccess and efforts to develop #HumanitarianDiplomacy initiatives. ECHO's sustained support is helping #DRC enhance the living conditions of DRCongo's crisis- and displacement-affected communities.

In Tripoli, a simple explosive‑ordnance awareness session saved 16‑year‑old Issam’s life: brnw.ch/21wZ7lK Lebanon remains heavily contaminated, making such sessions vital. With support from @diplo.de, DRC, LMAC and Beatoona, communities learn to stay safe.

Together with 53 #INGOs, we urge the Israeli government to halt #deregistration proceedings and allow unrestricted aid access, as needs in Gaza reach catastrophic levels: brnw.ch/21wYMzw Humanitarian access is a legal obligation — lives depend on it. #Gaza

Legal aid needs of displacement-affected people are immense and largely unmet. To strengthen access to justice for displaced communities, DRC joined the #GRFLegalCommunityPledge. Last year, signatories reached nearly 1 million people with direct legal services. brnw.ch/21wYoQZ

With support from @diplo.de, DRC in #Lebanon raises awareness on the risks of unexploded ordnances to protect communities. Together with Lebanon Mine Action Centre & @thegichd.bsky.social, we shared lessons, tools & key insights to strengthen coordination. Thank you for enabling this impact!

1/3 At the Meeting of States Parties to the #MineBanTreaty #22MSP, @hi-federation.bsky.social (HI) hosted a side event with @drcngo.bsky.social and @aa-stabilisiert.bsky.social isiert.bsky.social to share experiences on #VictimAssistance from Colombia & Ukraine, on strengthening survivor support.

On #HumanRightsDay, we renew our commitment to protect the rights of all people who are forced to flee, and we call on all governments to stand firm in defending human rights and international law - for all and everyone.

Today marks one year since #Syria entered a new political chapter. 16.5M need aid, millions displaced, infrastructure shattered, funding down. Recovery must center dignity & choice—not forced returns. Support protection, justice & economic recovery. 🔗 brnw.ch/21wYaVZ

DRC launches its first Global Decarbonization Roadmap. We’re committed to halving emissions by 2030—because climate action is humanitarian action. From greener procurement to renewable energy, we’re ensuring aid doesn’t harm the planet or the communities we serve. drc.ngo/resources/do...

Our new report counters persistent smuggling myths and provides evidence policymakers at the Global Alliance to Counter Migrant Smuggling should use on Dec 10. We’ll unpack here 5 questions on “How Smuggling Really Works”. See the report 👉 https://f.mtr.cool/asruradvkr #MigrantSmuggling

"Policy makers can fall prey to simplistic responses and populist narratives without these stories presented in the Mixed Migration Review"- Charlotte Slente, Secretary General, @drcngo.bsky.social

I spoke with Charlotte Slente, the head of @drcngo.bsky.social, about her recent visit to eastern Chad to meet with Sudanese refugees. The situation is "horrifying," she said, while urging the international community to do more to help end the civil war in Sudan. foreignpolicy.com/2025/11/20/s...

Less-fire, not ceasefire. 1 year since the ceasefire agreement, Lebanese families continue to live in fear. Together with over 70 INGOs in Lebanon, DRC calls for an end to all violations, and to prioritize the protection of civilians: reliefweb.int/report/leban...

A new report by DRC and PARC, based on a survey conducted in the West Bank, warns of intensifying attacks by both settlers and the Israeli military. Communities are routinely targeted—constituting grave breaches of international humanitarian law : brnw.ch/21wX1vL

Escalating violence in El Fasher puts 260K civilians at risk after 2 yrs of siege. Nearly 3K fled in 36 hrs—mostly women & children. Humanitarian access is urgent. Attacks must stop. Our Secretary General's appeal to the international community: brnw.ch/21wWZv5

🏆 DRC’s Fair Recycling Project 1.0 in Kenya is shortlisted for the 2025 AidEx ‘Sustainable Initiative of the Year’! With partners, it empowered 4,000+ waste pickers, recycled 1,075+ tons of plastic & created 2,100+ jobs. Read more: brnw.ch/21wWFDo #CircularEconomy

At @aa-stabilisiert.bsky.social meeting, DRC shared insights from #Afghanistan, urging adherence to humanitarian principles. Over 2M returnees from Iran & Pakistan need long-term support—livelihoods, climate resilience & recovery—led by communities themselves.

Honoured to join PARC at the @aa-stabilisiert.bsky.social talks on humanitarian priorities. We shared how integrated aid in Gaza—led by local partners—can reach more people, use resources better, and build trust, dignity, and resilience even in the toughest conditions.

With this ceasefire, the Danish Refugee Council calls for political will and concrete action to ensure access and protection for civilians. The ceasefire is only a first step. Gaza cannot recover under siege, and Palestinians cannot heal without justice. Read the full statement: brnw.ch/21wWvSp

"The Islam Qala reception center is a pit stop for exhausted and disoriented Afghan families. Many are still in shock—unable to understand why they have been uprooted from their lives and brought to Afghanistan" Read our SG's piece on @newsweek.com www.newsweek.com/a-forgotten-...

Our staff were in #Gaza City last week and the conditions they witnessed are catastrophic. With winter approaching, bringing cold and rain, urgent action is required. A rapid and substantial scale-up of humanitarian assistance is desperately needed.
