One year ago, our colleague Manuel Alejandro Tique was detained while delivering aid to vulnerable communities in Venezuela. From the Danish Refugee Council, we raise our voice for his release. His family, friends, and colleagues need him back. #AlejandroIsAHumanitarian #NotATarget

An earthquake has struck Afghanistan late last night. So far, at least 622 have been reported killed and damage is extensive. All local DRC staff are accounted for and well. DRC team has deployed teams to Kunar and Nangahar provinces for initial assessments for response.

We demand an end to this man-made famine and use of starvation a weapon of war by Israeli authorities. The answer is simple, let in principled humanitarian aid at scale. The world can no longer watch without acting as this catastrophe unfolds + the Palestinian people continue to suffer #Famineingaza

Today on #WorldHumanitarianDay, we join calls for urgent action: respect international humanitarian law, protect civilians and humanitarians, and end impunity. Humanitarian principles must be upheld - lives depend on it. #ActForHumanity - now.

The rise in border identity checks and summer crackdowns in France and Belgium are exacerbating access barriers to basic services and rights for undocumented migrants. In 2024, MMC interviewed 1,002 undocumented migrants in #France and #Belgium finding that: ⬇️🧵

It’s been three weeks since the EU announced a deal with Israel to deliver ‘aid at scale’ to Gaza. Since then, none of the commitments have been implemented. Widespread famine is unfolding. Aid must be let in immediately. The EU must act NOW ! @kajakallas.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu

The IPC warns that the worst-case scenario of famine is currently unfolding in the Gaza Strip. This is no time for smokescreen solutions or empty words. To prevent mass starvation, aid must be allowed in immediately and at scale. www.ipcinfo.org/ipcinfo-webs...

Israel’s siege on Gaza is causing mass starvation. Humanitarian agencies have the capacity and supplies to respond at scale. But the Israeli government continues to block access. The solution is simple: Governments must act to save lives! #StopStarvingGaza #EndTheSiege #CeasefireNOW

The Israeli government’s siege is starving the people of Gaza. Over 100 NGOs call on governments to act NOW. It's time for an immediate, permanent ceasefire; all restrictions lifted; land crossings opened; full access and a principled, UN-led humanitarian response. #CeasefireNow #EndTheSiege

We urge the EU to act NOW: pressure the Israeli government to uphold international law by lifting the blockade, halting the deadly militarized aid scheme, and reinstating the UN-led mechanism! #Gaza #HumanitarianAid #EUAction #CeasefireNOW!

JOINT STATEMENT: The EU's recent 'safe country' proposals appear to be part of a broader strategy to externalise the EU’s migration management. With 50+ NGOs, we're calling on the EU and member states to reject any attempts to weaken protection for asylum seekers.

"Political winds can shift, but our values and obligations to the rule of law and asylum seekers and refugees must not" -Céline Mias, DRC EU Director. As Denmark takes the EU presidency, it bears responsibility to uphold international obligations to asylum-seekers. www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

Six months after the ceasefire in #Lebanon, Israel's ongoing violations continue to devastate civilians. The international community must urgently act to protect lives, enforce international law, and support Lebanon's recovery. Read the statement: drc.ngo/resources/ne...

Ahead of our participation in the VII Senior Officials Meeting (SOM) on Yemen today, we, along with 166 organisations, have signed an urgent appeal to the international community to take immediate action and prevent irreversible harm to millions of lives. Statement: drc.ngo/resources/ne...

Our SG wraps up two impactful days at #EHF2025. The forum took place at a critical time, as humanitarian funding declines while crises continue to multiply. Despite these challenges, we remain on the ground — and our commitment endures.

Today at the #EHF2025, our SG spoke about the catastrophic situation in Sudan. Violence and famine are expanding – the crisis is spilling over and destabilizing fragile neighbouring countries. A coordinated, robust, and principled response is urgently needed. #EHF2025

At the EHF2025 our secretary general Charlotte Slente has spoken about the dramatic conditions of the Sudanese population, living with famine and violence. Together with the other panelists, she called for a urgent, coordinated, robust and principled response. #EHF2025

Today our SG Charlotte Slente had a fruitful exchange w/ EU Commissioner Dubravka ŠUICA on the needs of displacement- affected populations across MENA, the importance of #IHL to save lives in #oPt, & EU support to the transition in #Syria. #EHF2025

At the launch of the 4th #EHF2025 - Commissioner @hadjalahbib.bsky.social reaffirms that EU humanitarian aid is here to say. Looking fwd to 2 productive days on addressing crises globally. @drcngo.bsky.social @drceu.bsky.social

Our SG is at the #EHF25 today to speak about the desperate conditions DRC is witnessing in #Sudan and how DRC is working with partners and communities to save lives. Follow the livestream from 15:30: europeanhumanitarianforum.eu/en/watch-liv...

From water projects in #Afghanistan to demining in #Colombia, aid cuts from Trump, EU and UK stop work that makes the world safer. For @contextnewsroom.bsky.social, Jo Gill sat down with Charlotte Slente, head of the Danish Refugee Council @drcngo.bsky.social www.context.news/money-power-...

@jenniferrankin.bsky.social highlights the massive gaps left by aid cuts. @drcngo.bsky.social's Charlotte Slente was quoted, "said she foresaw “some difficult years” ahead as increasing humanitarian needs meet shrinking budgets." In practice, this means that people in need are left without support.

DRC endorses the statement by the Occupied Palestinian Territory Humanitarian Country Team on principled aid delivery in Gaza: www.ochaopt.org/content/stat...

In Gaza, civilians are trapped under bombardment and starved. If they are not killed by airstrikes, they are being condemned to die slowly from hunger by the blockade. We call on the international community to take immediate action: drc.ngo/resources/ne...

The New #EU #Return rules aim to increase the number of returnees. However, the proposed punitive approach to return will not be safe and dignified for the people concerned. Read DRC's initial reflections on key aspects of the proposed regulation here: drc.ngo/resources/ne...

The @ec.europa.eu published its proposal on Return Regulation Overall, the Return regulation proposal severely limits procedural safeguards and restricts migrants' rights to appeal against the return decision and detention.

The Temporary Protection Directive, activated three years ago, provides a lifeline for millions of people fleeing Ukraine. It's now set to expire in a year's time. Today we join 109 orgs to call on the EU and its member states to find durable solutions: drc.ngo/resources/ne...

Not only are these terminations egregious breaches of contracts, but they endanger the lives of millions of the world’s most vulnerable people. Read the full statement here: drc.ngo/resources/ne...
