Our Secretary General visited Chad as Sudanese people arrived after harrowing journeys, fleeing attacks in Al Fasher and South Kordofan. 1000 days into the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, we must not forget Sudan—and support Chad’s extraordinary solidarity.

Sudan faces one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises after nearly three years of war. Families endure repeated displacement, violence, and collapsed services. We call for an end to the violence + protection of civilians: https://t.co/U90slE3azM

Following my visit to the Chad–Sudan border, I shared with @AlJazeera a brief report on the devastating consequences of the conflict in Sudan.
People are starving, traumatized, and have nothing left: the world must act immediately and #KeepEyesOnSudan

Our Secretary General, @CharlotteSlente , was interviewed by the @BBCWorld Service following her return from the border between Chad and Sudan.

She describes an extremely dire situation - urgent action and funding are desperately needed⬇️

What I witnessed during my visit to Afghanistan is deeply worrying and moving. Thank you to @Newsweek for publishing my first-person account and DRC's call for the world not to abandon Afghanistan and its people.

From the Islam Qala Border, our Secretary General @CharlotteSlente issues an urgent call for Afghanistan.
In this time of overlapping crises, wealthy nations must remain committed to supporting the Afghan people and helping sustain dignified lives for all.

1 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.

Israel has ordered the mass displacement of the entire Gaza City - 800,000 starved, bombed, and uprooted Palestinian people must flee with nowhere safe to go.

This breach of international law demands urgent global action before Gaza City is erased: https://t.co/odDDqLsuFo

[Charlotte Slente @CharlotteSlente]

The solution is simple: stop the violence and let life-saving aid reach starving people. There must be an immediate ceasefire. The people of Gaza cannot wait any longer.

[Charlotte Slente @CharlotteSlente]

Gaza is facing a man-made famine. A famine we warned of. Now, a new military offensive is forcing starving families to flee yet again. This is not a crisis of scarcity; it’s a crisis of humanity. 🧵⬇️

On #WorldHumanitarianDay we repeat once again: humanitarian workers are #NotATarget

#ActForHumanity

[Danish Refugee Council @DRC_ngo]

In 2024, a record 383 humanitarian workers were killed, with even higher numbers projected for 2025.
We renew our call for:
• Respect the rules of war
• Protect those who protect humanity
• End impunity

#ActForHumanity – now. #WorldHumanitarianDay2025

Vi opfordrer indtrængende donorer til at genoverveje nedskæringerne og samarbejde om at lukke hullerne i finansieringen, før det er for sent. Den danske regering går foran ved fortsat at leve op til FNs målsætning om at bruge 0,7 procent af BNI på udviklingsbistand.

[Charlotte Slente @CharlotteSlente]

@DR har interviewet mig om de massive nedskæringer i humanitær bistand, som efterlader millioner af mennesker uden adgang til livsreddende nødhjælp og tvinger rekordmange på flugt: https://t.co/qiQ2zvp0oG

[Charlotte Slente @CharlotteSlente]

Nedskæringerne betyder, at vi ikke har mulighed for at hjælpe mennesker med de allermest akutte og helt basale behov som adgang til mad, vand og beskyttelse. Det koster menneskeliv og truer med at underminere års fremskridt mod mere fred, stabilitet og udvikling i verden.

Together with 160+ NGOs DRC has signed this urgent call to end the deadly distribution scheme in #Gaza.

An immediate #ceasefire and the establishment of a principled humanitarian aid system is imperative to stop the suffering of the people of Gaza.

[Danish Refugee Council @DRC_ngo]

160+ NGOs call for an immediate end to the deadly Israeli distribution scheme in Gaza.
This is not a humanitarian response.

🔴Stop the blockade
🔴Reinstate an UN-led mechanism
🔴CEASEFIRE NOW!

In Gaza, food is being handed out under military watch.
Private contractors. Facial recognition. Open gunfire.

Since May 27, 100+ Palestinians have been killed trying to reach food.

This is not humanitarian. It is militarized control. 

https://t.co/Eml6a8E9nf

[Danish Refugee Council @DRC_ngo]

Relentless airstrikes have killed 80+ Palestinians since Monday. In #Gaza people are bombed in their sleep and forced into starvation - we refuse to normalise such violations of international law, Palestinians need urgent and concrete action.

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.

[Charlotte Slente @CharlotteSlente]

Join me today at 3.30pm at the European Humanitarian Forum, for the panel discussion on the crisis in Sudan.
