⁉️ We call on our partners and donors to stand with us and the Ukrainian people, and to continue enabling a principled, sustained humanitarian response where needs remain immense.
After several months of intensive work and consultations with the Ukrainian Red Cross and other impacted National Societies, our Revised Emergency Appeal for Ukraine and Impacted Countries has now been published.

💶 The federation-wide funding ask has increased to CHF 3.1 billion, to respond to humanitarian needs over the next two years.
🌍 The appeal focuses primarily on Ukraine, where humanitarian needs remain severe, with over 12 million people requiring assistance.
This coming winter may be the hardest for many people in Ukraine, warns the @ifrc
To meet the rising needs, @RedCrossUkraine and the IFRC have launched a CHF 38 million winterization plan that aims to reach nearly half a million vulnerable people.

As winter approaches, millions in Ukraine are facing another season without reliable heat, power, or access to basic necessities. @IFRC teams and the @RedCrossUkraine are working around the clock to provide cash assistance, essential equipment, and psychosocial support, but the needs continue to grow.
“People are exhausted. Some have no central heating, no gas for cooking - it’s a race for survival. This winter is not going to be a usual winter; it’s going to be very tough.” - Victor Nyambala, IFRC Operations Manager
Support is urgently needed to help families stay warm, safe, and resilient through the months ahead.
This Friday, we will host our annual IFRC-DREF Pledging Conference, where donors come together to commit funding for our rapid humanitarian response. The IFRC’s Disaster Response Emergency Fund stands with communities before, during and after crisis.
Powerful Red Cross talk with PRCS President Dr. Younis and SRC Secretary-General Ms. Ulrika Modéer!
We stressed the immediate need for assistance and the crucial necessity of rebuilding not just structures, but also the spirit and souls of the people affected.
As the Turkish Red Crescent, we will be supporting Al Emel and Al Mawasi hospitals in Gaza.
Starting from October, for a duration of 6 months, we will cover the medicines, supplies, hospital needs, staff, and operational costs of these two hospitals.

This @IFRC report on institutionalizing anticipatory action comes at a critical moment, as the global community faces escalating climate and weather-related risks, increasingly complex and cascading risks, and as governments and humanitarian actors seek more effective, efficient and dignified ways to protect lives and livelihoods in this evolving humanitarian landscape.
To make anticipatory action a reality at scale, we must begin by putting people at the centre. Early warning systems must be followed by early action.
This report is both a call to action and a practical resource. Let us work together to ensure that early warnings lead to anticipatory action, protecting lives, preserving dignity and building resilience in the face of growing risks.

More than 282 million people across the continent are undernourished, and Sub-Saharan Africa alone accounts for nearly one-third of global food insecurity.
The @IFRC has officially launched its Africa Zero Hunger: United for Durable Solutions campaign, marking a bold step toward redefining the fight against hunger in Africa.
Its mission: to move beyond short-term aid and invest in durable, community-led solutions that strengthen local systems, adapt to climate and conflict, and deliver lasting, resilient change.
Its aim: to support 60 million vulnerable people across 15 African countries by 2030, but we must start today.

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez:
Spain does not have nuclear bombs, aircraft carriers or large oil reserves.
We alone cannot stop the Israeli offensive. But that doesn't mean we are going to stop trying.
Because there are causes that are worth fighting for, even if winning them is not in our hands alone.
