A ground offensive on Rafah is totally unacceptable❗️
It would add a catastrophe to the catastrophe.
I also call on Israel to immediately open the two main crossing points into

At today's 6th Senior Officials Meeting on Yemen, Commissioner
@JanezLenarcic
announced new EU humanitarian funding of €125 million for the country.
The funding will help address people's most pressing needs amid the ongoing crisis and escalating tensions in the region. ↓
As
#Yemen
approaches a decade of devastating conflict, it is yet again the innocent population who continues to suffer the most. While a political solution is crucial, it is our duty to provide emergency aid and ensure sustained support by humanitarian & development communities.
"The cold in Arequipa was difficult, we all got wet on our way."
Displaced people crossing borders face very hostile climatic conditions.
Shelters, such as this one in Bolivia supported by EU humanitarian aid, help protect them against rain, cold, and dehydration.

The suffering of civilians in
#Gaza
is unbearable. Israel’s ground operation in
#Rafah
would only make it worse.
A

The ongoing floods in Kenya have had devastating consequences:
▪186 fatalities
▪133 people missing
▪117,000+ people displaced
€500,000 in EU emergency funding will support humanitarian organisations on the ground in providing assistance to those displaced by the floods. ↓
The much feared scenario has come true: according to
@WFPChief
Cindy McCain, there's full-blown famine in the north of Gaza, moving to the south.
