Plus de 32 000 réfugiés soudanais ont fui au #RCA depuis avril 2023, dont 1 500 en début 2025. La crise soudanaise est une tragédie #humanitaire de notre époque.
#Stop à la violence, protégeons les civils.

It’s not everyday you get lobbied by an Oscar winning actor…

A (surreal!) pleasure to host @RESCUEorg and Rami Malek in Parliament today for the launch of the IRC’s new Global watchlist and discuss the importance of their work in an increasingly volatile world.

[IRC - International Rescue Committee @RESCUEorg]

The IRC sends our utmost condolences to @WCKitchen, who had 7 staff killed last night by an Israeli strike while delivering food in a protected zone in central #Gaza. All civilians and humanitarian workers are protected under International Humanitarian Law and are #NotATarget.

[🇪🇺EU at UN-NY @EUatUN]

Today 🇪🇺Ambassador @HeddaSamson co-chaired with @KingdomNL_UN a briefing by NGOs on the humanitarian situation & food crisis in Sudan.

Thanks to briefers from @Clingendaelorg, @NRC_Norway, @RESCUEorg, @ZwdSudan, & @SUWRA1 for your call to action!

Our new @RESCUEorg Emergency Watchlist for 2024 is out, watch the video https://t.co/2wYn4DQAcJ or read the report https://t.co/56F9D65Y6i to learn about why we think crises are growing and that Sudan and occupied Palestinian territory face most humanitarian risk next year

One simple message at Piccadilly Circus right now, on World Refugee Day.

Fascinating @TheEconomist article draws on @RESCUEorg analysis to help explain how and why the conflicts that have the worst human impact are rarely the ones that make the headlines https://t.co/ldxxedwH2A

Rare video of Beirut Lebanon right as civil war ended in 1990. The amount of destruction is just staggering…

[International Rescue Committee - UK @RESCUE_UK]

The IRC is currently suspending programs in Afghanistan following the Taliban ban on women working for NGOs.

Our ability to deliver services relies on female staff. If they cannot work, we cannot deliver to those in need, especially Afghan women. More: https://t.co/4mGjSlZRRB

En #RDC🇨🇩, 58,5 % des 5,5 millions de personnes déplacées sont des enfants. https://t.co/bwnnwetLgA

Loin de chez eux, nombreux sont ceux qui vont passer cette période de festivités dans des conditions très difficiles, comme ici à #Kanyaruchinya.⤵️

[George Readings @GeorgeReadings]

Sad validation of why #Lebanon has been on the @RESCUEorg Watchlist for three years now—1 in 3 people facing acute food insecurity, over 300,000 at emergency levels (IPC 4) where urgent action is required to save lives https://t.co/hNmbuzM5On Read https://t.co/EMsCz2x66y for more

[George Readings @GeorgeReadings]

My key reflection from working on five @RESCUEorg Watchlists—there is nothing natural or inevitable about ever-growing crisis. People with power are choosing to make humanitarian crises worse. We explain how they could choose to make them better. Do read https://t.co/EMsCz2fvf0

[David Miliband @DMiliband]

Today, @RESCUEorg releases its annual Watchlist—a spotlight on the countries most at risk of worsening crises in 2023.

There is a need for change in the way the int’l community approaches humanitarian crises. Our findings & recommendations:https://t.co/iWG2uszs2Q

[Sweden in Ethiopia & AU @SweinEthiopia]

🇸🇪 traveled to East Hararghe with @RESCUEorg to better understand the risks & needs of affected populations with a focus on the protection response.
Drought-affected communities are suffering from displacement, lack of food, water, loss of livelihood & increased risk of GBV.

[George Readings @GeorgeReadings]

A perspective from Beirut. Ouch.

[George Readings @GeorgeReadings]

I won’t pretend it’s a cheerful listen but (a) you will get to hear from my colleague Vicki Aken about the amazing work of the @RESCUEorg team in Afghanistan and (b) @BenRHorton and I do discuss some “quasi-optimisms” that mean we shouldn’t let despair prevent action being taken
