[NWSW HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE @NwswResponse]

OCHA led a joint mission to Kumba and Mamfe with #UNHCR, #ChildProtection AoR. Humanitarian Coordination Fora were held with partners in Kumba and Mamfe. Progress was made in putting in place a referral pathway for NGOs in field locations. #PlanCMR #CaritasMamfe @OchaCameroon

They risk their lives to provide relief to the most vulnerable in the NWSW. They are #RealLifeHeroes

[NWSW HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE @NwswResponse]

Violence against civilians is also affecting humanitarian space, and access to health care and education

[ilaria allegrozzi @ilariallegro]

#Cameroon Thread: Abuses by separatists & gvt forces rife despite peace talks. Separatists killed 6 men, including a aid worker & a teacher in NW; gvt forces attacked a hospital in NW & arbitrarily arrested med staff in SW since May. New @hrw release 1/5, https://t.co/ZvWAdDjw1B

[NWSW HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE @NwswResponse]

OCHA reinforces field coordination of humanitarian assistance in #Mamfe, #ManyuDivision and #kumba, #MemeDivision. During a joint mission with #WHO and #IOM, measures were taken to set up formal coordination mechanisms in both locations. @OchaCameroon @whocmr @IOMROWCA

[NWSW HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE @NwswResponse]

OCHA and WHO visit the CERF funded #MobileClinics at Bakebe, Manyu Division, South West. Mobile Clinics have been the only access to primary healthcare to thousands in the NWSW. @OchaCameroon @whocmr @UNCERF @reachoutdev1

[International Rescue Committee - EU @RESCUE_EU]

Unrestricted access in NWSW Cameroon is essential to provide lifesaving aid to the 700,000 + people in need. We call on all parties to maintain & facilitate our access. The IRC delivers humanitarian assistance without discrimination and in accordance with humanitarian principles.

[NWSW HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE @NwswResponse]

Don't target civilians, don't attack hospitals, provide humanitarian access.
Still very relevant in our work environment

[ICRC @ICRC]

The rules of war are simple.

The rules of war preserve our humanity.

The rules of war are not suspended during a pandemic.

[Allegra Maria del Pilar Baiocchi (she/her/hers) @AllegraBaiocchi]

Unfortunately this never gets old. Humanitarian action in #Cameroon is neutral. Threats and attacks against it are ❌ never ok.

[NWSW HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE @NwswResponse]

National NGOs/CSOs in Kumba, Meme Division mobilised to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Humanitarian assistance is ongoing with Guidelines from Clusters on minimising COVID-19 risk during implementation. Great work! @SurvivalNetwork @Shefa @CHRW @lukmefcameroon @UNFPACameroon

Aid workers are #NotATarget

[ilaria allegrozzi @ilariallegro]

#Cameroon: Aid workers and ops under attack in the Anglophone regions. Recent cases just the latest in a long line of incidents in which humanitarians have been targeted both by armed separatists and gvt forces. Read latest from @hrw https://t.co/DOt6OTPMM3 #NotATarget

[NWSW HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE @NwswResponse]

Timely and important statement by the Humanitarian Coordinator on increasing attacks against humanitarian work in NW and SW regions

[Allegra Maria del Pilar Baiocchi (she/her/hers) @AllegraBaiocchi]

Humanitarian action in the NW SW regions of #Cameroon is under attack. Six aid agencies have had workers kidnapped or illegally detained in the last 2 mths. More than ever, scaling back means putting people's lives at risk. My statement @reliefweb https://t.co/DFpJfXkafC

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

We have lift off! Our global humanitarian passenger air services are now connecting destinations across West & East Africa. @WFP’s aviation teams keep working hard, flying aid workers to the places they’re most needed during #COVID19.

Responding to #Ebola #COVID & other #humanitarian needs in eastern #DRC is a constant challenge, not least due to difficult access to communities.
Sorry folks, a lot of vital work doesn't take place only on #Zoom but in the field.

[OIM Cameroun @OIMCameroun]

IOM Cameroon conducted assessments at 65 Points of Entry across the country to capture mobility restrictions and public health measures in place at these border crossings. A reinforced public health response is needed asap along these mobility corridors.
