“Humanitarian aid shouldn’t be considered political - but we’re being told to just stay in our lane and not speak up. And because of the history of the Palestine-Israel conflict humanitarians are tip-toeing around Gaza. But we should have courage.” - @sorchaoc of @hpg_odi

[Alan Boswell @alanboswell]

Here, @CrisisGroup details the hellish ongoing showdown over El Fasher in #Sudan's North Darfur.

We call for more concerted efforts to de-escalate the situation, mediate safe passage for trapped civilians, and get aid to starving Darfuris.

News is not ‘just what happens’. It’s not inert. It’s curated and sold. But is this ethical? shouldn’t news reporting on a crisis have a purpose? @gathara from @newhumanitarian on how news flattens and misrepresents the reality of crises

[Sorcha O'Callaghan @sorchaoc]

Really interesting HPG event today on media reporting of neglected crises. Graph showing level of media reporting of major crises over 23/24 says it all

Who will hold them to account? Who will hold to account the UAE, Britain's ally, which arms and supports the @RSFSudan which reportedly carried out these killings?

[Sorcha O'Callaghan @sorchaoc]

A great piece by @Ed_HEREGVA on the multiple failures in the UN-led response in Ethiopia, and what this means for accountability to people affected by conflict:

@j_hagenzanker on how migration decisions are complex & change over time -

[Jessica Hagen-Zanker (@j.hagen-zanker.bsky.social) @j_hagenzanker]

Why many policies to lower migration actually increase it --- I answer this question in a @ConversationUK piece, drawing on #MIGNEX analysis from >13,000 interviews across Africa, Asia and the Middle East

There has been a lot of debate and finger-pointing about the challenges to getting aid to people in need in Gaza.

So, let’s settle this once and for all.

[Sara Pantuliano - @sara-pantuliano.bsky.social @SaraPantuliano]

Conflict deaths hit a 26 year-high & 110M+ people were forcibly displaced as of June 2023.
