Very proud of being part of this incredible team. Happy #WorldHumanitarainDay. Serving those whose capacities are lost due to crisis in today’s fluid world is not an easy choice. Big thanks to those who still believe in humanity and provide aid.
On #WorldHumanitarianDay, meet the people behind EU humanitarian aid in Asia & the Pacific. 👋
From responding to emergencies to working with communities and partners, this team turns solidarity into action.
Hello from us - and thank you to all humanitarians!

Indeed it’s a clear and grave violation of the IHL and human rights. The perpetrators should be held accountable. Targeting civilians cannot be justified by any means.
Last night's attack on the rehabilitation hospital in Kabul is a flagrant breach of international humanitarian law.
Health facilities must be protected, not targeted.
We urgently call for de-escalation & restraint, an immediate ceasefire & renewed dialogue.

In the context of my mission to #Afghanistan, I visited the Islam Qala reception centre for Afghan returnees from Iran.
I met with families who are receiving humanitarian assistance provided by ECHO at this challenging time in their lives.

I stand in full solidarity with the people of Afghanistan after the devastating earthquake that hit the country earlier today.
I extend my deepest condolences to the families of the victims and wish a speedy recovery to those injured.
The @UN team in Afghanistan is mobilized and will spare no effort to assist those in need in the affected areas.
What an incredible milestone!
#Afghan_Atal beat #England at the #champions trophy @ICC.
Athletes, your impressive achievements bring so much joy to the entire Afghan nation. We're bursting with pride for you, blue tigers! Keep shining and inspiring us all!

We are deeply saddened by the passing of @RaffaellaIodic2. Her profound love for Afghanistan and its people drove her to tirelessly advocate for the alleviation of suffering & improving lives of Afghans. May she rest in peace & her good memories remain with us forever.
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our former Head of Delegation, @RaffaellaIodic2.
She was a true friend of Afghanistan, a champion of women & girls, and a beloved colleague to many.
Our delegation is in deep shock & mourning
May her memory be a blessing
As the academic year 2024 concluded in Afghanistan and preparations for the 2025 academic year are underway, we once again raise our voices for the reopening of educational institutions, both secondary schools and universities for Afghan girls.
Without educating both girls and boys, this nation cannot hope to achieve a prosperous future. There are no valid excuses strong enough to justify the halt of education.
The current situation has frustrsted everyone thinking for alternative options
Hats off to the blue tigers! 🐅 You made Abdalyan champions of Asia. We believe you'll continue to lead and shine forever. Sediq, you are incredible and unstoppable—a true gift to this nation, bringing smiles for decades to come.

These individuals had entered #Iran seeking labour work to stay alive and find food which at the same time results in contributing to development & prosperity of Iranian communities.
We urge the Intl community to recognize this deadly attack as a crime against humanity.
Food, nutrition, health care, protection - and a dedicated team on the ground.
Our colleague Marianna explains how the EU Humanitarian Aid continues to support people in Afghanistan.
Thanks @AndreasPapacon3 for your invaluable visit in such a crucial time to Afghanistan.
Indeed @eu_echo contribution has played a central role in saving lives of thousands of Afghans faced wth food insecurity and other health problems including these children.
We stay committed
Malnutrition among children in #Afghanistan is devastating.
At the @ACF Therapeutic Feeding Unit in Ahmad Shah Baba Mena District, I saw children receiving critical care.
The EU 🇪🇺 is allocating €5.7 million to @ACF this year to fight this crisis and save lives.
@eu_echo
As today the humanitarian community discusses the crisis in Afghanistan in Brussels, the EU remains ready to help the population.
In 2024 we are releasing nearly €150 million in aid for partners working there and in neighbouring countries.
