Transformer les défis humanitaires en opportunités !
Derrière chaque déplacement, il y a une histoire, un potentiel, des compétences prêtes à être mises en valeur.
Le secteur privé doit jouer un rôle clé pour catalyser ces talents & bâtir des solutions.

One year after #Lisungi ended, refugees in 🇨🇬 share how it improved their livelihoods. With support from @WorldBank & the 🇨🇬 government’s commitment to inclusion, 3,000+ refugee families benefited. Thanks to @ambafran_congo for supporting the reportage!

#Congo 🇨🇬 is increasingly affected by floods, with refugee-hosting areas taking the greatest toll. Proactive actions are needed, starting with practical steps: community consultations, joint reflection, collaborative mapping & ownership 🌳🤝

🧵Dans ce nouveau thread, analysons ensemble son interview. 🔍

[Philippe Lazzarini @UNLazzarini]

The scenes coming out of #Rafah last night are harrowing.

Reports of more casualties continue to come in following an Israeli airstrike on a heavily populated area northwest of Rafah.

Children and women living in tented plastic makeshift shelters are among the killed. Many were injured. Others were reportedly burnt to death.

The images from last night are testament to how Rafah has turned into hell on earth.

It has been extremely difficult to establish contact with our @UNRWA teams in Rafah today. Some of our staff are unaccounted for.

UNRWA is doing everything possible not to interrupt the delivery of humanitarian assistance. But with every day passing, providing assistance & protection becomes nearly impossible.

Of the 200 trucks with humanitarian supplies offloaded on the Palestinian side yesterday, only 30 trucks were picked up due to heavy movement restrictions + ongoing Israeli Forces airstrikes + the launch of rockets by Hamas + delays & limitations on the routes that can be used.

These are all additional challenges & restrictions that do not allow us to distribute aid. They further strangle the humanitarian operation on which 2 million people across Gaza depend.

I reiterate the call of the @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres for an immediate #ceasefire + for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages to end the suffering of civilians. I echo his dismay by the lack of implementation of the recent order of the International Court of Justice regarding Rafah. The decisions of the @CIJ_ICJ Court are binding.

The military operation in Rafah must immediately end & the flow of humanitarian assistance into Gaza must improve without further delay.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

The @UNRWA chief described the images coming out of Rafah as a “testament to how Rafah has turned into hell on earth.” “With every day passing, providing assistance and protection becomes nearly impossible.”

🚨Pourquoi plusieurs pays suspendent leur aide à @UNRWA, l’Agence des Nations Unies qui s’occupent des réfugiés palestiniens?

Les noms des journalistes tués par Israël. 60% ont été assassinés depuis le 7 octobre.

[Daniel Forti @FortiD]

While this may seem mundane to those outside the Security Council bubble, @antonioguterres takes a major step by writing to the Council under Article 99 of the UN Charter, raising concerns about the horrific situation unfolding in Gaza.

A short thread on what this means:
