644 people reached in #Bekaie - standing against #GBV and early marriage. 💪 In February 2026, the local Protection Committee, supported by DRC & @euinemergencies.ec.europa.eu, mobilized communities to better protect the most vulnerable and prevent violence.

Protection shouldn't end when a project does. Through #ECHOHIP25, we strengthened 10 Protection Committee members in Bocaranga + equipped them with key skills on referral pathways, human rights and GBV prevention to protect communities for the long term. Support: @euinemergencies.ec.europa.eu

In #Paoua, DRC equipped 300 adolescent girls (aged 10-19) with essential life skills to build their confidence, know their rights and protect themselves against #GBV. 💪 Supported by @euinemergencies.ec.europa.eu

Our deepest solidarity goes to the people and families affected by the earthquakes in #Venezuela. We stand with those facing the consequences of this emergency. From the Danish Refugee Council, we continue to closely monitor the situation and the needs of affected populations. #Earthquake

In May 2026, DRC in partnership with @giz.de (through funding from @bmz.de) distributed 3,440 locally sourced food parcels to displaced families in Hasbaya, southern Lebanon, reaching around 17,200 people with a month's food supply each.

Explosive ordnance removal prevents accidents and restores access to land for farmers and communities. This was a key message from our panel at the German Federal Foreign Office Open Day. Thanks to @germany.diplo.de for its commitment to humanitarian mine action and for enabling this space.

Thanks to the support of @euinemergencies.ec.europa.eu DRC's teams brought together 150 women and 150 men in #Beboura to discuss gender roles, shared responsibilities in the household and the fight against GBV. The result: a shared commitment to ending cultural prejudices and sexual violence. 🤝

Economic hardship and displacement increase the risk of child labour, depriving children of their right to learn, play, and thrive. Through the SPEAC consortium, supported by @euinemergencies.ec.europa.eu, DRC along with its partners are helping protect children and support families.

On #WorldRefugeeDay, join us in celebrating our share humanity and in renewing our steadfast commitment to all people who have been forced from their home and their lives.  If they can persevere, so must our support - until everyone is safe.

In 2025, DRC reached 7.5 million people worldwide, despite growing needs and shrinking funding. From Sudan to Gaza to Afghanistan, we delivered critical support to people affected by displacement. This work is made possible by our partners, donors, and dedicated staff. Annual Report: brnw.ch/21x3nTE

Gender-based violence remains a critical protection risk, especially for women and girls in #Lebanon. Through the SPEAC consortium, supported by @euinemergencies.ec.europa.eu , we're helping strengthen awareness, prevention efforts, and access to life-saving support services.

Every year, Denmark hosts #Folkemødet, a democracy festival bringing together citizens, decision-makers, organisations and media for dialogue. DRC joins to ensure the voices and rights of displaced and refugees are heard and to push for dignified, lasting solutions.

Conflict affects every aspect of a child's life, including their sense of safety and wellbeing. At a shelter in #Lebanon, our partner Mouvement Social with the support of @euinemergencies.ec.europa.eu is providing recreational activities that help children cope.

To strengthen community-based protection in Burkina Faso, we supported community committees so they can become autonomous protection actors within their communities. The PSS PROT program is funded by @euinemergencies.ec.europa.eu

In Burkina Faso access to humanitarian assistance is impossible without civil registration documents. With the support of @euinemergencies.ec.europa.eu we help affected people by facilitating their access to assistance. Watch the story of Sibdou in the video ⬇️

Today’s agreement on the Return Regulation is very concerning. Punitive measures and sanctions for non-compliance do not support safe and dignified return for the people concerned. Read DRC’s full position: brnw.ch/21x31fY

Through the project “Psychosocial Support and Humanitarian Protection Assistance for Populations Affected by Displacement in Burkina Faso” funded by @euinemergencies.ec.europa.eu we have strengthen protection and help people like Alimata rebuild their lives.

Last week, DRC & Humanity and Inclusion welcomed a visit from @germany.diplo.de in #Lebanon, where we deliver Explosive Ordnance Risk Education during the ongoing conflict. EORE helps displaced and returning families recognise hidden dangers, stay safe, and reduce harm.

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

🚰 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
