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  #Gaza . No other route can compensate for this.

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. @Refugees

Anton is a husband and a father of three, who had to leave his home near Volnovakha, Ukraine, because of the war. He provides for his family with a small beekeeping business. 🐝 With financial aid from the EU and @pagulasabi , he can now invest in new hives and feel more secure.

How to rebuild a person's livelihood? Providing wheat seeds is one of the ways. This is how the EU and @FAO have helped Abdullah and other vulnerable farmers in Afghanistan get back on their feet after a moment of crisis.

Children’s right to quality education does not stop in times of humanitarian emergencies. The EU helps Syrian children caught in the ongoing crisis to go back to and stay in school through formal and non-formal education pathways. #SeeSyria #SyriaConf2024

The suffering of civilians in #Gaza is unbearable. Israel’s ground operation in #Rafah would only make it worse. A #ceasefire is long overdue, to liberate the hostages and provide life-saving aid to those in need.

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. The so far unheard demands by the international community must be listened to: UNSCR 2728 must be implemented fully & immediately. 1/3

In many humanitarian crises, goods are available on the market, but the affected people have lost the means to buy them. The EU provides Syrians in need with cash assistance to buy what they need the most, including food. #SeeSyria #SyriaConf2024

When wildfires get out of control, the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism is there to mobilise international assistance. But without firefighters, none of this would ever be possible. On #FirefightersDay , let's acknowledge their dedication and thank them for their invaluable service.
