Earlier this month, NGOs across #Syria produced the first needs assessment since Dec 8. This is the resultant map of severity.

Unless rescinded, the USAID funding freeze will have disastrous consequences for Syria and Syrians.

This ceasefire must be the foundation for an enduring truce that can pave the way for peace and human rights for long-suffering civilian populations.

NRC’s courageous teams on the ground in Gaza are prepared to scale up our efforts, helping families begin the long process of rebuilding their lives.

As Assad runs from #Syria, I sit in hope for Syrians, both at home & abroad. This could be a new chapter towards freedom, democracy, & peace. The international community must support a peaceful, democratic transition that prioritizes the rights and dignity of the Syrian people.

Geneina, Darfur: This was a home of a family with children, that has been completely destroyed & looted.
The house is next to our previous office, which was also looted.
Across the floor amongst the rubble there are children’s clothing & children's books, now in the rubble.

Month after month, for more than a year, we have received assurances that humanitarian aid will be allowed to flow unhindered into Gaza.

But it has never happened.

There has not been a single week where we have been able to bring in even the bare minimum of supplies.

As I prepare to leave @NRC_Norway after almost 4 years, a few endnotes from #Iraq.

I look forward to returning many times— hopefully not as a humanitarian but as a friend.

This fact alone should make the whole world hang its head in shame. But it won't.

[Norwegian Refugee Council @NRC_Norway]

In #Rafah, Mohammad slept with only "the sky as my cover and the earth as my mattress". He has now chosen to return to his home in Khan Younis where only fragile walls and memories of the past remain.

Our colleague Maysa in #Gaza says people have run out of shelter options that they are now turning empty bags of rice into tents.

[Yousef D. Hammash @YousefHammash]

Due to severe shortages of shampoo and personal care products, many Gazan women have resorted to cutting their hair. They endure hardships that few women globally can imagine.

Last year, @NRC_MiddleEast partnership with @UNHCRIraq led to permanent housing for 3,000 #Syrian refugees in the KRI.

Politics must not distract us from reality: refugees have rights that must be respected and protected. #WorldRefugeeDay,

A very happy #EidMubarak to friends and colleagues near and far, and to families caught in the cross hairs of conflict and displacement.

To a better world, despite the odds.

[Imrul @glumphish]

Echoing @jnbeuze: neither camps nor the act of return, by itself, is a durable solution to displacement. Solution options are sustainable only when they are coupled with state safeguards, and recognise the centrality of agency and choice.

If there are history books in the future, this picture will be in them

[sarah @sahouraxo]

White phosphorus bombs dropped by Israel are burning South Lebanon’s forests, olive trees, and farmlands, poisoning the soil, animals, and water.

This is ecocide.

And yet, the ‘international community’ remains silent, as always.

[Salam animal care @RescueCare]

We refuse to die, tell them we will stay here 🇵🇸🫂❤️‍🩹

[Jan Egeland @NRC_Egeland]

At least 40 children, women and men are confirmed dead in Rafah after an Israeli airstrike last night on tents housing those forced to flee within Gaza.

How many more red lines must be crossed?

Our appeal to EU leaders meeting now:

#NoMoreRedLines

"Today, Ireland, Norway and Spain are announcing that we recognize the state of Palestine."

Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris says this is a "historic day for Palestine" as we trust that more countries will join us in the coming weeks.
