The @NepalRedCross, supported by @IFRC, is continuing to scale up assistance as damaged roads, bridges and critical infrastructure continue to hamper access to some of the hardest-hit communities.

As recovery needs continue to evolve, the IFRC’s 24-month Emergency Appeal continues to support both immediate relief and longer-term recovery efforts. 👇https://t.co/yvKR1B6JDN

The needs are vast. But so is the willingness to help.

This World Humanitarian Day, we honour the humanitarian workers risking their own safety to deliver aid including food, water, protection and healthcare.

Even in the world’s darkest moments, humanity endures.

#ActForHumanity #WorldHumanitarianDay

[IFRC @ifrc]

We are here. For people in crisis. For communities. For humanity. We are Local, Everywhere.

Today, on #WorldHumanitarianDay, we honour the people who show up, every day, wherever they are needed most.

In times of crisis and uncertainty, humanitarians are here, supporting communities, saving lives, and standing alongside those facing unimaginable challenges. Yet far too often, those helping others are the ones facing the greatest risks.

Attacks on humanitarian personnel are rising, with devastating consequences not only for aid workers and volunteers, but also for the communities that rely on them.

Humanitarians keep showing up for us. They are Local, Everywhere, part of the communities they serve, helping their neighbours, friends and families when crises strike.

It's time the world showed up for them.

[British Red Cross 🧡 @BritishRedCross]

Behind every humanitarian response are volunteers and staff who put themselves at risk to help others.

This World Humanitarian Day, and every day, we stand with humanitarians serving communities all around the world.
