Everyone has the right to a safe home. But for many, this is just a dream. Malek dreams of a new house - last year, his family were forced to flee their home in Lebanon. 1/3

Humanitarian leader Jan Egeland has just returned from his latest trip to the West Bank, where he says Israel is entrenching its occupation of Palestinian land each day. "You see how the place is annexed and the occupation deepens," says @sg-nrc.bsky.social.

Today at the Great Lakes Conference in Paris, it's essential we see an end to the neglect that has condemned so many in DR Congo. DRC is facing one of the world’s largest displacement crises globally – 5.7 million people are internally displaced, including 2 million since the start of this year.

Today CHA members welcomed Secretary General of @nrc-global.bsky.social, @sg-nrc.bsky.social, for a discussion on upholding #humanitarian #principles, the #humanitarianreset, #Gaza, and extending collaboration & joining forces in times of crisis. Thanks Jan for the insightful talk!

Many of those currently being forced to flee Gaza City have been displaced 10 times already. Some people are fleeing with only the clothes on their backs. This is an assault on a refugee camp. The offensive on Gaza City must immediately end.

NRC’s team in Afghanistan are now delivering aid to families stricken by the earthquake. Our relief teams have just surveyed Chawkai & Norgal - Kunar’s hardest-hit districts. 1/3

In 2024 we saw huge numbers of people displaced in all corners of the world. That fact that over 123 million people were forced from their homes at the end of 2024 is a damning verdict on our ability to defend families from blunt violence. www.nrc.no/news/2025/ju... 1/3

Mozambique: Leonardo fled with his family from Mocimboa da Praia in 2021 after their village was attacked He was forced to leave behind his bakery and the livelihood that sustained his family. 1/3

Here in northern Mozambique, displacement camps are filled with people fleeing from not just one horror, but from several. Conflict, floods, cyclones. Here in Muadi, families who fled 4 years ago now live next to new arrivals from last month. No one is going home.

Mozambique is being battered by ongoing conflict, climate disasters, & extreme hunger, as global funding cuts leave up to a million people stranded without aid. I've seen the toll caused by a global retreat of solidarity & funding here this week. See our statement: www.nrc.no/news/2025/ju...

A record 83.4 million people were living in internal displacement at the end of last year: the highest number ever recorded. Internal displacement rarely makes the headlines, but for those living it, the suffering can last for years. 1/4 www.internal-displacement.org/global-repor...

Sudan: In Zamzam Camp, North Darfur, communal kitchens have been burnt down, and parts of the camp are in ashes. About 80% of the population have fled, many on foot. Many of those fleeing have subsequently been attacked along the way. 1/3

Funding cuts force WFP to suspend malnutrition treatment for 650,000 in Ethiopia. Millions more at risk. @NRC_Norway urges urgent action to restore aid, protect displaced communities, and avert catastrophe. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/4/...

One month after Myanmar’s deadly 7.7 quake, millions already in crisis face even greater need. Frontline aid workers press on, delivering water, shelter and protection. But the crisis runs much deeper.... 1/2

Today marks two years since the start of the senseless war in Sudan that has spiralled into the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. www.nrc.no/news/2025/ap... 1/4

This week we mark 2 years of war in Sudan and the darkest hour for an ancient civilisation. It is one of the most harrowing crises of our generation, with the forced displacement of nearly 15 million people. www.nrc.no/news/2025/ap...

Water is life! But contaminated water kills. Here in Shasha, eastern DR Congo, people are glad to return to their ancestral lands. But they have had to drink from, and wash in, a contaminated river. NRC has rapidly responded and is working to support the community.

There have been enormous changes since I was last here, in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The escalation of conflict in recent months has pushed hundreds of thousands of people into desperate conditions. The conditions in camps around Goma are appalling. www.nrc.no/news/2025/ap...

Baidoa, Somalia: ⬇️ Dhahira is a displaced mother of five. She was able to rebuild her life, starting with a durable shelter and a place to call home again. “This home is safety and stability for my children,” she says. 1/2

DR Congo: The war that started in January has led to an explosion of needs. Hundreds of thousands have been displaced across North & South Kivu province. They urgently need humanitarian assistance. Essential services, including healthcare, education, & security, have been disrupted. 1/4

Relieved there is less fighting in Goma, but humanitarian needs in Eastern Congo have surged dramatically. Displacement + lack of shelter, food, water means urgent intervention is required. Our @nrc-global.bsky.social teams are present & ready to provide urgent relief, but need new funding.

Our @flyktninghjelpen.bsky.social teams in Gaza have been working round the clock to scale-up our efforts since a temporary ceasefire came into effect last Sunday. Here’s what we’ve been up to ⬇️ 1/10

Extremely concerned by the escalating violence against civilians in Sudan, including the deliberate targeting of 3 key water & power stations by the RSF. Using civilian's access to water/electricity as a weapon of war is a blatant violation of IHL. This must stop. ⬇️ reliefweb.int/report/sudan...

We engage with the Taliban government in Kabul & provinces to reach more Afghans in great need, including the millions at risk of deportation from Iran & Pakistan, and for education for girls. Afghan women do not need more seminars in Western capitals, they need us to engage with decision-makers.

9 hour road-trip, through beautiful Western Afghanistan from Herat to Kandahar through Helmand. Roads are safe & we can do our work everywhere for girls & women in great need. But, our aid is limited by donors cutting funding & we must succeed in to resume education for girls beyond primary school.

The many Afghans I met at the border this week feel they live in an enduring limbo. They left in search of a better & safer life, & now return to an uncertain future in Afghanistan, facing the same unemployment, hunger, human rights violations that made them leave in the first place. 1/2

International aid has been essential in alleviating immense humanitarian needs in Afghanistan, but it is dwindling. The Afghan population is trapped in one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, and the world has turned its back: apnews.com/article/afgh...

The ceasefire enables NRC to scale up our operations across Gaza. We call on the parties to the hostilities to continue to honour their commitments to ensure that we can reach the population of Gaza. We need full humanitarian access. ⬇️ 1/5

Din Mohammed and his family fled from war in Faryab, Afghanistan for Iran in 2020, but never got refugee status. Now, with three small children, they are deported back. "What should we do? Where should we go?". It is hard to answer. The world has turned its back to the needs of Afghans.

I'm back in Afghanistan where 22 million need humanitarian aid and to where Pakistan has sent back 800.000 and Iran plans to deport 2 million. Here in Herat I met women who had been deported without their husbands back to deep poverty & hopelessness. A crisis ignored by the world

Heartbreaking: These girls in Herat, Afghanistan are denied education beyond primary school and have to weave carpets instead. “I only finished 5th grade, but my dream is still to become a doctor”, one told me. It is an intolerable denial of fundamental human rights.

We are the closest we've come to a pause in the fighting in 13 months. I urge the Israeli cabinet to take the first step towards a permanent truce and vote to approve the ceasefire deal. Too many innocent lives - Palestinian and Israel - are on the line. www.bbc.com/news/live/c3...

The area in Gaza which Israel's military has told people to go to "for their safety" has been hit by 97 strikes since May. NRC's access manager in Gaza highlighting the near daily strikes within the so-called "humanitarian zone" including from Israeli ships & small drones: ⬇️ 1/2

This ceasefire must be the foundation for an enduring truce that can pave the way for peace and human rights for long-suffering civilian populations. NRC’s courageous teams on the ground in Gaza are prepared to scale up our efforts, helping families begin the long process of rebuilding their lives.

The prestigious, peer reviewed Lancet finds that mortality in Gaza is more than 40 % higher than the local health authorities have reported: 64.250 deaths. And still the media let the propaganda machine present a “targeted anti-terror operation”.

2024 hasn't been a great example of humanity. Can our basic principles survive? In the latest Inside Geneva podcast I asked some experts. Thanks to @sg-nrc.bsky.social, Cordula Droege of @icrc.org, @richardgowan1.bsky.social & Nico Krisch of @gvagrad.bsky.social. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...
