In 1968, a small group of Irish people saw suffering and famine in Biafra, and they didn’t wait for the world to act. Our community has grown, but our mission remains the same - because ending extreme poverty, wherever it is in the world, is our Concern.

A powerful speech by Tom Fletcher on the lack of funding for life-saving humanitarian work: "It's not that the money is not there, but political choices are being taken not to back this work in the way we should do."

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

What does the vandalism of international solidarity mean for those in greatest need?

And how do we fight back?

As the number of deaths and suspected cases of #Ebola continue to rise in Democratic Republic of Congo, our Country Director David Jones was interviewed by @RTERadio 1.

He outlined the factors which led the WHO to describe this outbreak as “extraordinary”. David also explained how Concern is responding on the ground to help communities protect themselves and stop the disease spreading. 🎧 ⤵️

Concern's David Jones spoke to David McCullagh on @RTERadio1 from the Democratic Republic of Congo, where our teams are on the ground responding to the deadly #Ebola outbreak.

We've been in the region for years, supporting people forced from their homes because of decades long conflicts, and are adapting our work to prevent people from catching this fatal disease.

But we need your support - to donate to our emergency appeal: https://t.co/1VzQgIveQR

We do not lack laws to protect civilians in war. We lack the courage from states to enforce them.

In 2025, the UN recorded more than 37,000 civilian deaths across 20-armed conflicts – approximately one civilian death every 14 minutes, the UN Security Council debate for #POCWeek2026 heard yesterday.

In an @Irishexaminer article our CEO Dominic Crowley highlights the scale of the price being paid and sets out what needs to done to halt the killing and protect some of the world’s most vulnerable people.⤵️

Emerging, escalating and entrenched conflicts drove record internal displacements in 2025. For the first time on record, conflict and violence displaced people more often within their countries than disasters.

Millions were uprooted, many more than once.

[United Nations @UN]

In conflict, civilians always pay the highest price.

Yet even wars have rules.

Civilians must be protected — at all times, in all places.

They are #NotATarget.

At a time of deepening crisis in #Somalia, more than 30,000 households have received multi-purpose cash support over the past year from the Somali Cash Consortium.

“Multi-purpose cash assistance remains one of the most viable ways to provide dignified and prompt support, with its ability to reach populations wherever they are and transfer values that are adaptable to the market context. This timely assistance enables affected families to cover essential needs such as food, water, healthcare and shelter, while supporting local markets.”

People ask what happens if international cooperation breaks down. For humanitarians and those we serve it already has.

These deaths are choices: the human cost of unserious, short term politics; and a war economy that works for arms dealers, fossil fuels, and casino traders.

Access to clean water is life-changing for communities in Sila, eastern #Chad. 🚰

Une eau salubre change tout. 💧

La province de Sila, dans l'est du Tchad 🇹🇩, accueille des milliers de réfugiés venus du Soudan.

L'accès à l'eau potable est une priorité vitale qui permet de prévenir les maladies et d'alléger la pression sur les communautés.

Through #Hanaano Programme, @RACIDA_Ngo, in partnership with @Concern with support from @Irish_Aid facilitated training of 20 Lead Farmers across Mandera East, Mandera North, Banisa, and Lafey to strengthen last-mile agricultural extension and accelerate community-level impact.

The training emphasized practical, field-ready skills, improved farming practices, market linkages and climate-smart agriculture to enhance productivity and resilience.

These Lead Farmers now operate as a strategic link between communities and the @Mandera_cgvt Department of Agriculture, driving knowledge transfer, mobilizing farmers for adoption of best practices and providing sustained, on-the-ground technical support.
