Floods destroyed Nyengieth Chol’s home and farmland in South Sudan 🇸🇸, forcing her to flee with her daughter and grandchildren.

Today, EU-funded cash assistance helps them rebuild their lives. But Nyengieth hopes to return home and plant her crops again.

“I never had the chance to study. At least I do my best to make sure they get an education,” says Kubra, Ruqaya’s grandmother.

At 56, Kubra has lived life without the opportunity to learn. Today, she is determined to help her family get that chance.

Her granddaughter, Ruqaya Sadat, 8 years old, attends a Community-Based Education (CBE) class in Char Toot, #Afghanistan. Before joining the class, Ruqaya would sit beside her brother as he studied, learning alongside him. Now, she is progressing in her own lessons and dreams of becoming a teacher.

Her teacher, Roshan Hashimi, understands the value of education. She is passionate about helping children learn and encouraging them to continue their education.

With @people_in_need’s support—and in partnership with SADA, and with 🇪🇺 @eu_echo funding—children like Ruqaya can learn, develop their skills, and imagine a future full of possibilities. #PINEiE

Winter only needs one crack to get in. 🇺🇦

A broken window, a gap under a door, a hole in a wall. Across Ukraine, EU-funded partners are helping people like Liudmyla, Nataliia and Oleksandra repair their homes before the cold arrives.

Overnight, Russia struck Rivne & Zhytomyr regions again. The Kremlin is trying to turn winter into a weapon by plunging Ukrainian homes into cold.

🇪🇺 is here, standing with 🇺🇦 & preparing more assistance to help them through the winter. They will not face it alone #EUsolidarity

As the humanitarian situation in Yemen deteriorates, a new EU Humanitarian Air Bridge has delivered almost 60 tonnes of mostly medical supplies. 🇾🇪

That brings the total to 338 tonnes delivered to Yemen in 2026.

Humanitarian aid must be allowed to reach those in need. 🇪🇺

[EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 @eu_echo]

The 2026–2027 #ElNiño could be the strongest on record.

The EU is releasing €13.5 million to act early in some of the most vulnerable areas of Eastern and Southern Africa.

Acting before the worst hits. 🇪🇺

An explosion shatters windows and tears through a roof. With winter approaching, protecting what remains becomes urgent.🇺🇦

With 🇪🇺 support, @UNHCR & partners are delivering materials to repair broken windows and roofs across Ukraine.

Helping families face winter with dignity.

[EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 @eu_echo]

94% of Europeans agree: when a disaster overwhelms a country, others should step in.

💙  That’s the idea behind the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism. When one country needs help, Europe responds.

Floods.
Droughts.
Forest fires.
Oil spills.

Communities in Peru’s Amazon face multiple risks.

The EU support is helping @achperu strengthen Indigenous communities’ ability to prepare, respond and recover when emergencies hit.

Myanmar may have disappeared from the headlines, but the crisis is far from over.

Hear from @MPopowskiEU as he meets people affected by conflict and displacement and sees the situation on the ground.

[EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 @eu_echo]

Heavy rains and flooding are putting lives at risk in Gaza’s displacement camps. With 1.4 million people still in makeshift shelters, urgent action is needed.

Lift restrictions on aid. Increase humanitarian access and funding.

More aid. More access. Now.

[UNHCR Egypt @UNHCREgypt]

Leaving home brings many challenges for refugee families, but parents continue to do everything they can to give their children a sense of stability.

@eu_echo support helps ease some of the financial pressure so families can focus on their children’s needs and well-being.

[EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 @eu_echo]

A global first for Ukraine!

In October, the Lviv medical evacuation team became the first in the world verified under the @WHOUkraine SCT Medevac Advanced standard.

Through the EU Medevac programme, the team has helped thousands of Ukrainian patients reach treatment abroad.🇪🇺

'Emergencies don't have borders.'

For Paweł Krysko, helping people is at the heart of being a firefighter.

Together, emergency responders across Europe strengthen #EUCivilProtection to help #ProtectWhatMatters.

Poland is not alone.

Europe mourns with Krakow today. For the victims, for their families, for the first responders.

Against hatred. Against extremism.

[Hadja Lahbib @hadjalahbib]

In Gaza, families are bailing water out of their tents with pots and pans.

Floods have swept through the displacement camps. The rain makes a crisis that was already unbearable worse.

Humanitarian partners are working through the storm. They need more aid to get in, now.

[EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 @eu_echo]

In Gaza, over 141,000 children have received printed self-learning materials through @UNRWA, with support from the EU.

This assistance helps children continue learning despite immense challenges, and safeguards their right to education.

[EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 @eu_echo]

When you need regular check-ups, a trip out of the village every time can make care harder to reach.

📽️Watch how, with EU funding, @WHOMoldova is piloting medical video consultations in Moldova🇲🇩 so people like Svetlana can speak to their doctor from their local clinic.

[EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 @eu_echo]

A lamp when the power goes out. A thermal blanket when the heating stops.

In war-affected Zaporizhzhia, the EU and @giz_ukraine helped 500 people with disabilities prepare for a harsh winter, providing USB lamps, thermoses, thermal blankets or mini radios with a built-in light.
