🌍Urgent Call for Attention: The Rafah Incident Unveils a Humanitarian Crisis In the heart of the Middle East, amidst the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, lies the Rafah border crossing – a place emblematic of both hope and despair. Recent events at Rafah have unearthed a humanitarian crisis that demands our immediate attention and action. The situation at Rafah is dire. The recent violent crackdown by Egyptian authorities, coupled with airstrikes by the Israeli military, has resulted in countless casualties, including innocent women and children. Hospitals are overwhelmed, supplies are dwindling, and the basic rights of the people of Gaza are being trampled upon. But amidst the chaos, there is resilience. The people of Gaza continue to stand tall, their spirit unbroken despite the unimaginable hardships they face. As global citizens, it is our responsibility to stand in solidarity with them, to amplify their voices, and to demand immediate action from the international community. Our latest blog post delves deep into the Rafah incident, shedding light on the human stories behind the headlines. It's not just about geopolitics; it's about families torn apart, children crying out for help, and the elderly collapsing under the weight of despair. Read their stories, understand their plight, and join us in advocating for change. https://lnkd.in/e-pm85Qy Together, we can ensure that the people of Gaza are not forgotten, that their suffering is acknowledged and that steps are taken to alleviate their pain. Join us in standing for peace, justice, and human dignity. #RafahCrisis #HumanitarianEmergency #StandForPeace

Over 3000 people killed, more than 14000 people injured, a quarter of the population displaced, vast destruction of civilian and public infrastructure: the humanitarian situation in Lebanon is catastrophic. I'm very grateful KUNO Humanitarian Knowledge Exchange is organizing the event 'Humanitarian response in focus: addressing the impact of hostilities in Lebanon and the escalating regional conflict,' where Gerard Jonkman, Pia Zeinoun, Myrna Hammadi, Ioanna Charalambous and myself are invited to contextualize the ongoing humanitarian response in Lebanon. Looking forward to this important conversation. https://lnkd.in/eGggd96c

We have signed a statement of the #Syria INGO Regional Forum #sirf on the escalating violence: "Humanitarian needs across Syria have never been higher than they are today. 16.7 million people need assistance – nearly half are children. Escalating conflict risks driving these needs higher at a time when donor support for Syria is decreasing. Instead of perpetually having to revert to emergency humanitarian response when incidences of conflict increase, the humanitarian community would rather engage with communities and donors in addressing medium to long-term needs through early recovery interventions and pave the way to alleviate poverty across Syria. This will only be possible through immediate cessation of all hostilities across the region, enhanced protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure, and increased support for humanitarian and early recovery interventions."

Tuesday, November 12, 2024 - Israel has continued its brutal offensive on Gaza. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening every day and the lives of more than three million Palestinians remain at extreme risk. These operations must stop. More than 45,000 Palestinians have been killed and over 100,000 people have been wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza since October 7, 2023. The Europe Peace Foundation (EPF) urges Israel to end its military operation in Gaza immediately. This horrific violence must stop immediately. Enough is enough. This must stop now. “Urgent action is needed to protect civilians and prevent further staggering levels of human suffering. Civilians and the infrastructure they rely on – including hospitals, shelters, and schools – must be protected. We urge the international community to come together to demand an immediate humanitarian ceasefire by all parties in the conflict and lasting peace in Israel and Palestine.

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
