FAMINE… let that sink in. Famine has officially been confirmed in the Darfur region of Sudan sheltering hundreds of thousands of displaced people. It is not a word used lightly. Official declarations of famine are rare. The Famine Review Committee (FRC) says there is famine in Zamzam camp (it is the first determination of famine by the Committee in more than 7 years, and the third since the monitoring system was created 20 years ago.) This the cost being paid by the population of Sudan after 15 months of war which has displaced over 10 million people and created dire humanitarian conditions. At UNHCR we urge action, Sudanese have suffered enough and if nothing changes other communities inte country will starve to death. 🔵The war must end. 🔵Humanitarians must have access to deliver lifesaving aid. 🔵We need donors to scale up support and address the persistent underfunding of this humanitarian crisis. UNHCR is on the ground throughout the region, meeting refugees after their long journeys and providing them with life-saving support, shelter, safety, and basic supplies.

Over 1 million people have fled Sudan and more than 6 million people have been internally displaced within the country. Those leaving Sudan have fled to Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia, and South Sudan, where agencies like JRS have been providing support and relief to the displaced populations. JRS offers three ways that you can help those who have been forced to flee from the conflict in Sudan: 1. Give: To accommodate the influx of refugees, an urgent and emergency fund is needed for early response. JRS will continue being present where the needs are greatest 2. Learn: Follow along with our colleagues in the region who continue to provide regular updates. 3. Pray: Visit our prayer resource page to pray for no more loss of life as a result of the war in Sudan. Take action here: https://ow.ly/ay1j50QW0LN

Rohingya People's suffering has no ends. On Saturday, June 1st, 2024, at 12:30 PM, a massive fire occured once again in the Thaing Khali market at Camp-13, located within the world's largest Rohingya refugee camp in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. Numerous refugees have been injured and displaced, and significant destruction has occurred, reducing structures to ashes. Urgent prayers are requested for those affected. #FireIncident #Firefighter #RohingyaFeeling #RohingyaLivesMatter #StopFireIncident. #RohingyaNeedProtection #RohingyaCrisis #RohingyaRefugeeCamps #FireIncident

WhO ARE THE TRUE HOSTAGES? Salman Abu Sitta wrote: You have heard ad nauseum of the urgency of releasing the hostages and allowing them to return home, even at the blood price of 200,000 killed and injured. I am for the return of hostages without hesitation. But I am against ugly racism, hailing one hostage, ignoring another hostage. Nobody speaks of the REAL longtime hostages. They are two million Palestinian refugees in Gaza Concentration Camp, from 247 towns and villages in southern Palestine. expelled by Israel in 1948, through dozens of massacres. See map of their origin. They are crammed in a concentration camp called Gaza Strip at a density of 8000 persons/km2. Its area is 1.3% of Palestine, or 365 km2. They are now forced by Israel to move down south, then up north in the tiny strip at a density exceeding 20,000 p/km2. Who occupies their home? East European settlers from Romania, Poland, Ukraine and Russia. Their number is only 150,000, at a density of only 7 persons/km2, one thousand times less than the owners of the land, who are the refugees in Gaza. So, I ask you: who are the real hostages? Are they the 100 European settlers held in Gaza for 300 days? Or are they the two million Palestinian refugees held in Gaza camps attacked by land, air and sea and blockaded for 76 years, or 27,000 days? LET HOSTAGES GO HOME WHEREVER THEY BELONG.

Kenya has once again had to face the nasty realities of heavy rains, floods, loss of life, destruction of property and disruption of daily lives of citizens. Government has ordered that Kenyans living in high risk areas leave or be removed as a response to save lives. We have seem areas where peoples houses were demolished due to proximity to water bodies such as dams, lakes and rivers. My take on this that during the Sudan civil wars; Khartoum vs SPLA armies (South Sudan), Kenya hosted the largest refugees camp called Kakuma which received hundreds of thousands of sudanese refugess who were fleeing war, hunger and disease from their homelands. The UN and other aid agencies partnered with the Kenyan government to save the situation. The Kakuma refugee camp was set up and provided food, shelter, medicine and security to the refugees for many years. As government moves to secure Kenyan lives here at home, perhaps it will be prudent to provide such services to our citizens who in actual fact have found themselves as domestic refugees with immediate emergency need of shelter, food, medical care, security and other essential services. To the county governors with regards to the elnino havoc, please shape up or ship out! Your political and leadership incompetence and insincerity on emergency reaponse systems is costing Kenyan lives. You are the CEOs of counties, you’re managing public resources meant for the betterment of citizens lives. Don’t be reactive, be proactive. #elnino #floods #humanitarianservices #kenya #refugeestatus

Armed conflict. Political uncertainties. Communal violence. Regional insecurity. Mali faces complex challenges that have worsened poverty and food insecurity, leading to widespread displacement. Thousands of people continue to leave their homes in search of a safe place to shelter as they wait indefinitely for an opportunity to return home. Despite insecurity and logistical challenges, we’ve partnered with the Malian government and others to provide emergency assistance and protection for displaced people across Mali. This is only possible with the support of USAID - Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance. #SahelCrisis See more at https://bit.ly/3WTANv1.

The #Rohingya crisis remains one of the most pressing humanitarian issues in Bangladesh. As Dr.Muhammad Yunus highlighted in #UNGA, global attention and decisive action are essential-not just for immediate aid, but for justice and accountability. The world cannot afford to turn a blind eye. It's time to rethink our approach and push for durable solutions. #RohingyaCrisis #GlobalAction #Refugees #solution #justice #Myanmar

Mosques and Churches remain to be respected places of worship and should be able to shelter people! Religions are there to unite us and have the target to bring people together in oneness..... It are the human (mis)interpretations that make a mess out of this. We need nonviolent interaction as equals. This will lead to mutual understanding and empathy, it will exchange fear and hatred for trust and solidarity, and let humanity grow together in relation to God. www.samadeus.org & www.pax.ngo

It's always good to keep resilience. keeping resilience can help to protect one from mental health related conditions such as depression and anxiety among others. Additionally resilience can help one to deal with things that would be predisposing factors to risks of mental health conditions like trauma, burnouts and so on. Refugees in Ruhingya are a good example of people who kept resilience for the seven years they have stayed in Ruhingya and they did this regardless of the challenges and setbacks. Refugees in Ruhingya have faced a number of problems such as floods, landslides, protection risks, falling victims to traffickers, and limited access to education among others. Possible solutions. 1. Consider the protection of refugees and prioritize the rules of law. 2. Consider the strengthening of health care systems and equip them with enough drugs and supply. 3. promote reproductive health care services. 4. Promote immunization coverage. 5. Promote nutritional services and combat malnutrition. 6. Empower women and youth by engaging them in vocational training, put there some income generating businesses for them such as tailoring, art and craft and so on. 7. promote environmental hygiene and sanitation by constructing water drainage systems and ensure that they are maintained clean and kept free from debris. 8. Consider wet water land preservation. 9. Avoid staying near landslide prone areas. 10. Build walls along the slopes of hills to prevent contact with debris. 11. Plant trees along the slopes to form neutral barriers. Please I apologize for the delay because some time I receive emails when I'm busy with my private work activities.
