The climate crisis is not about the future.

It’s about the here and now.

We cannot curb humanitarian suffering without addressing #ClimateChange.

[francesco strazzari - @zaz.bsky.social @franxstrax]

Worst than the tragedy are only the hypocritical comments by Italian ministers, dodging responsibility and shifting blame after criminalizing search & rescue operations

[United Nations @UN]

As the UN works to provide assistance to survivors of the devastating earthquake in northwest Syria, @antonioguterres welcomes decision that will allow two additional humanitarian crossing points to be opened up along the border with Türkiye. https://t.co/dKVDkUetRU

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

.@UN Disaster Assessment and Coordination teams have been deployed to #Türkiye and #Syria to support with search-and-rescue and aid operations.

They are also helping humanitarian organizations set up relief efforts for communities affected by the earthquakes.

"We are seeing miracles taking place; lives are being rescued from the rubble as we speak."

The United Nations and its agencies are on the ground in #Turkey and #Syria, working around the clock to help rescue and protect the #earthquake survivors.

[VA-TF1 / USA-01 - Urban Search and Rescue @VATF1]

Technical search cameras allow us to see around obstacles and into void spaces within collapsed structures. Here in #Aidyaman, Türkiye, the team uses many kinds of cameras including this one which uses a tablet to remotely visualize what the camera sees.

We thank @SweMFA 🇸🇪for their generous and timely contribution of more than US $3M dedicated to the earthquake response in #Syria.

[OCHA Syria @OCHA_Syria]

Pale faces of the people in #Aleppo today tell a story of pain and fear. colleagues were in the field today while human remains were pulled out from the rubble following the 4th day after the devastating #earthquake.

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

Never give up on hope 💙

@SwissHumAidUnit search-and-rescue team rescued a 6-month-old girl and her mother from the rubble yesterday in #Hatay, #Türkiye

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

I’ve released an additional $25 million from @UNCERF for aid efforts to respond to the earthquake.

This brings the total emergency fund allocation for the earthquake response in #Türkiye & #Syria to $50 million in just a few days.

Thank you to all the teams from around the world who are supporting the search-and-rescue efforts following the earthquakes in #Türkiye and #Syria. 💙

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

13 teams from around the world deployed & 39 more are on their way under @UNOCHA's coordination in response to the earthquake near the #Türkiye-#Syria border.

These teams will provide crucial support for emergency response and search and rescue efforts.

#UNDAC @Insarag

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

We are shocked by the devastating earthquake that hit #Türkiye and #Syria at the height of a harsh winter.

Our teams are assessing the damage with #UNDAC emergency response and search and rescue teams ready to deploy.

Happy to be part of those Ready-to-go Speedy Bold humanitarians @UNOCHA!
My favorite quote of our branch retreat: “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” - Peter Drucker… a great reminder that’s there’s nothing more easy than a culture of kindness.

[Edem Wosornu @EdemWosornu]

I’m so grateful to lead this team of Ready-to-go Speedy Bold humanitarians (our Response Support Branch) embodying the values of @UNOCHA.
Wonderful to be together for our first all branch retreat in a decade! Let’s continue to give the best of ourselves to those who need us most.

Disasters are taking lives & costing billions in damages worldwide. While they may look different at first, disasters caused by heatwaves ☀️, wildfires 🔥 & floods 🌊 often share same root causes.

[UN University - EHS @UNUEHS]

We are all interconnected, and so are the disasters.
This also means that the solutions are interconnected as well.

Interested in finding out what you can do to help?

As Europe fries and burns in a lethal heatwave, here are the planes burning up the skies above right now, further fuelling global heating. We need to stop promoting aviation, travel in better ways & find a safe landing for the industry...

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

Know that climate disasters this summer are only the beginning and they will get catastrophically worse until we end the fossil fuel industry. Everything humanity does depends on a livable climate. End fossil fuels rapidly and equitably. Switch into emergency mode

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

Nothing reveals the failure of our political, cultural, legal, education, and media systems more clearly than their collective yawn over the day by day sliding toward losing essentially the whole fucking planet
