🇪🇺 🇨🇿 🇺🇦 Yesterday, at the European Parliament in #Brussels, we organised an event called “Ukraine: Three Years of Struggle, Strength, and Solidarity and Ways Forward.” The event took place under the auspices of Members of the #EuropeanParliament Ondřej Kolář and Luděk Niedermayer. It provided the audience with a first-hand account of what humanitarian and human rights support looks like on the ground in Ukraine in the three years since the Russian full-scale invasion. 📽️Opening remarks by Weronika Frydryszek, representing the Polish presidency of the Council of the European Union were followed by a screening of the documentary film, Hезламні - One Mission, Four Lives. This film tells the story of four of our colleagues living and working as aid workers in Ukraine. 🎤The film was followed by a panel discussion with Nadiia Ivanova , Director of the PIN Centre for Human Rights and Democracy; Alyona Budagovska, Head of the Communication and Advocacy Department of PIN Ukraine; Luděk Niedermayer, Czech MEP; Vojtěch Srnka, Member of the cabinet of #EU Commissioner Jozef Sikela (International Partnership); and Boriša Falatar, Member of the cabinet of EU Commissioner Hadja Lahbib (Preparedness, Crisis Management, Equality). 📷Participants also had a chance to see the photographic exhibition “Peace. Now! How?” This exhibition is a testament to the resilience of the Ukrainian people.

In #Bosnia, our colleagues teamed up with the #Czech company Fly4Future to provide training to local emergency services on how to use #drones to respond to natural disasters, specifically #fires. The training took place in #BlidinjeNaturePark and focused on live demonstrations and practical exercises to really help people understand how to use the drones to complete specialised tasks. After the training,a custom-made drone was presented to the Municipality of Jablanica. It is our sincere hope that this training combined with the bespoke drone will significantly enhance the capabilities of rescuers and improve response times to fires.

We welcome the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas while acknowledging significant uncertainties regarding its implementation and sustainability, including ceasefire maintenance, hostage release, and humanitarian access in Gaza. Humanitarian needs in Gaza remain enormous. UN OCHA reports that the war has killed tens of thousands since October 2023, injured more than 100,000, and displaced over 90% of the population. The conflict has destroyed critical infrastructure, reduced homes to ruins, and shuttered schools. Local population is in urgent need of humanitarian aid. Since January 2024, we have been working with our partner, War Child Alliance, to provide psychosocial and psychological first aid to children and their families in the Gaza Strip. We are currently identifying opportunities to expand our assistance in Gaza. Along with other humanitarian organisations, we joined ICVA Collective NGO Statement: https://buff.ly/4auwwTM We have opened the SOS Gaza fundraiser to help people affected by the conflict. Donors can contribute to account number 62621515/0300.

🌊 Jak obnovit obydlí a krajinu po povodních a lépe se připravit na budoucí přírodní katastrofy? Společně s Informačním centrem #OSN jsme dnes zorganizovali kulatý stůl o obnově krajiny a sídel po povodních. Starostové a starostky ze zasažených obcí, zástupci a zástupkyně ministerstev, odborníci a odbornice, krajinářští architekti a architektky a další se sešli, aby diskutovali o tom, jaké bariéry přinesly povodně ze září 2024 na všech úrovních – a jak zvládnout podobné katastrofy v příštích letech lépe. Debatovali jsme o klíčových tématech, jako jsou: ✅ Dotace a jejich efektivní využití ✅ Územní plánování a architektura ✅ Poradenství ze strany krajů a státu ✅ Pozemkové úpravy 📋 Zlepšení fungování současných opatření Výstupem tohoto setkání je seznam konkrétních doporučení, která vycházejí z praktických zkušeností všech zúčastněných stran. Tato doporučení budeme v následujících týdnech sdílet, aby pomohla aktérům na všech úrovních reflektovat, co zlepšit a jak se lépe připravit na příští povodně. Děkujeme všem, kteří se do této diskuse zapojili! 🙏
