The Danish Refugee Council is a humanitarian, non-governmental, non-profit organisation providing assistance & protection to #refugees and displaced people.

DRC condemns the repeated targeting of displacement sites in #Gaza by Israeli forces.

The Fahmi al-Jarjawi School, managed by @DRC_ngo & @PARC_Palestine, has been half destroyed — the 4th attack on DRC sites.

Civilian shelters are not a target. Ceasefire & accountability now.

1 year after the escalation of hostilities in #Lebanon, Israeli military operations continue almost daily - despite the ceasefire agreement of 27.11.2024. DRC & other NGOs call for an immediate end to hostilities & the protection of civilians: https://t.co/r1vFlr9mBI

Israel has ordered the mass displacement of the entire Gaza City - 800,000 starved, bombed, and uprooted Palestinian people must flee with nowhere safe to go.
This breach of international law demands urgent global action before Gaza city is erased: https://t.co/W3htIpZK7H

Good trip to Tripoli & oft-neglected Akkar 🙏@DRC_ngo & @Shiftsih for showcasing 🇩🇰-livelihood activities for refugees & Leb. Powerful meeting w newly arrived Syrian refugees & Massoudieh mayor. Urgent needs yet to be addressed incl freedom of movement, shelter, edu & livelihoods

In Yemen, 19.5 million people need aid and 17m face hunger. Yet amid cuts and neglect, humanitarians like Omaima fight to restore dignity and safety.
Her courage should not be the world’s excuse for inaction. Yemen deserves more than survival. #WorldHumanitarianDay #ActForHumanity @DRC_ngo

[DRC Middle East & North Africa @DRC_MENA]

In #Yemen, more than 19m people need aid, and 17 million face severe food insecurity, including millions of children. Colleagues like Ali work every day to restore dignity despite cuts and crisis. Their commitment is a lifeline. #WorldHumanitarianDay #ActForHumanity @DRC_ngo

🔴The new Israel’s registration rule unlawfully requires INGO to submit sensitive data, including Palestinian staff details.

It is not only a serious obstruction to the delivery of aid – it is unsafe, violates humanitarian principles + must be stopped: https://t.co/WLYlsu1vCB

[Danish Refugee Council @DRC_ngo]

In 2024, a record 383 humanitarian workers were killed, with even higher numbers projected for 2025.
We renew our call for:
• Respect the rules of war
• Protect those who protect humanity
• End impunity

#ActForHumanity – now. #WorldHumanitarianDay2025

We mourn our partner colleagues who were killed in #Gaza—four among the 479 humanitarian workers killed since October 23.

Israel’s ongoing brutality against civilians, carried out with impunity, must end. We demand accountability. Read their stories: https://t.co/S3GtW0uNkk

In Bekaa, #lebanon a Syrian family lost their shelter in a fire. Thanks to @ECHO_MiddleEast support to #RIMS, @RESCUE_MENA referred them to @Medair_ME via the system, promptly securing shelter & support.
Coordination saves lives.

What does life in #Lebanon mean to you?

For many, it means living without status, safety, or support.

With @eu_echo, @DRC_ngo, @RESCUEorg & @INTERSOS provide vital protection services, while making sure voices are heard, not forgotten.

A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Ministry of National Defense, represented by the @LebMineAction, and DRC to implement humanitarian mine action activities across #Lebanon.

This partnership reflects ongoing collaboration in the field of mine action.

DRC mourns the killing of our colleague Ahmed Saad, who was killed alongside 8 family members in an Israeli airstrike on his home in Gaza. Ahmed worked with DRC and our partner @AssociationParc to support displaced families through lifesaving humanitarian efforts.

Aid workers must never be targets. We call for the protection of all civilians and humanitarian personnel in Gaza.

ببالغ الحزن والأسى، ننعي وفاة حارس متعاقد كان يدعم عملياتنا في الحديدة، اليمن.

ويعمل المجلس الدنماركي للاجئين في اليمن بالتنسيق مع السلطات المحلية للتحقيق في الحادث.

نتقدم بأحر التعازي لعائلته وأحبائه.

ونتقدم بالشكر الجزيل للموظفين وأفراد المجتمع الذين سارعوا إلى تقديم المساعدة الفورية.

We are deeply saddened by the tragic passing of a contracted guard who had long supported our operations in Hodeidah, Yemen.

DRC in Yemen is in coordinating with local authorities for the investigation into the accident.

Our most heartfelt condolences go out to his family and loved ones.

We are grateful to the staff & community members who acted swiftly to provide immediate assistance.

[Danish Refugee Council @DRC_ngo]

We are deeply aggrieved by the tragic car accident in Lahj governorate, Yemen, which claimed the life of one DRC colleague and injured five others on May 28th.

Our thoughts are with the families and team members affected. We stand with our staff and mourn this devastating loss.

[Danish Refugee Council @DRC_ngo]

Relentless airstrikes have killed 80+ Palestinians since Monday. In #Gaza people are bombed in their sleep and forced into starvation - we refuse to normalise such violations of international law, Palestinians need urgent and concrete action.

This #ProtectionOfCiviliansWeek, we spotlight #Türkiye.

Refugees, especially those impacted by the 2023 earthquakes, face shrinking access to legal status, overcrowded camps and a rise in GBV and child labour.

As access to services is reduced, protection needs grow in one of the region’s most complex displacement contexts.
