World Vision is urgently responding to the escalating crisis in #Syria, where the overthrow of the Assad regime has triggered a devastating humanitarian emergency. In just 10 days, 178,000 people have been displaced, hundreds of civilians have been killed or injured, and millions are left in desperate need of assistance. This crisis adds to 14 years of relentless conflict, leaving almost 70% of the Syrian population reliant on aid. “The overall situation has hampered the availability and accessibility of basic services. Critical services such as access to food, clean water, and sanitation are under pressure. Children in particular, are impacted,” said World Vision Syria Response Director, Emmanuel Isch. “There is an urgent need for immediate funding to support those affected by the recent escalation of events in Syria, especially children, who have mostly grown up in a context of conflict. We must do everything in our power to protect them and enable a future with hope. World Vision calls on all parties to prioritize peace and put the well-being of children first,” Isch added. 🔗 Learn more and support our efforts: wvuk.org/l3oR50Uo6Gw #SyriaCrisis #HumanitarianAid #SyrianAppeal

The Centre For Community-Driven Research (NGO) supports colleagues in calling on those in power to take decisive action to protect civilians, including humanitarians, in conflict zones.

Rebuilding Nations, Strengthening Operations: A Path to Effective Emergency Response In times of crisis, like what we’re witnessing in Sudan, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, and other parts of the Middle East and Ukraine, rebuilding is not just about physical structures; it’s about strengthening the systems and operations that enable rapid, coordinated emergency responses to those in need. Enhancing operations in crisis zones makes a significant difference in how quickly and effectively aid reaches the most vulnerable. When operations are robust and well-coordinated, they ensure that humanitarian assistance—whether medical care, food aid, or basic necessities—can be delivered in a timely manner, saving lives and alleviating suffering. Investing in the enhancement of these operations doesn't just address immediate needs; it has a long-term impact, helping affected communities rebuild and regain stability faster. Building stronger operations is an investment in humanity. It saves lives, restores hope, and helps create a better future. #EmergencyOperations #HumanitarianAid #RebuildingNations #CrisisResponse #MiddleEast #PublicHealth #Reconstruction #SupportHumanity #DisasterRelief #CrisisManagement #AidDelivery #SustainableDevelopment #Ukraine #PeaceBuilding #GlobalSolidarity #Resilience #HumanRights #InternationalAid #HumanitarianCrisis
