🚨 More than 1.6 million people across Gaza and Lebanon face a wet and freezing winter without proper shelter. “Tents are made of fabrics and blankets that are not resistant to the rain. The severe overcrowding in the temporary shelters does not allow for water to drain. The tents will certainly be flooded because there is no infrastructure in these camps to drain the rain water. Most of what the organisations can provide – unfortunately – is below the minimum needs of the people because the ongoing siege on the Gaza Strip is preventing materials from entering the Palestinian markets, and aid from reaching the people,” - Sahar, head of the Palestinian Development Women Studies Association, ActionAid’s partner in Gaza. We are calling for a permanent ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza, as well as the entry of essential aid into Gaza to help people survive the winter. https://lnkd.in/d8t4H5Gg

Women-led organisations in Gaza have reported a rise in cases of violence against women and girls, as the collapse of legal systems has left survivors without access to justice amid the ongoing war. 📢This #16Days, let's amplify these stories and unite to advocate for change.

🚨The Lebanon 60-day ceasefire deal is not an acceptable long-term solution. "Are people in Lebanon now to live in limbo until bombs start dropping on their homes again? A permanent ceasefire is the only way to end the suffering and enable people in Lebanon to rebuild their lives," - Paras Tamang, our Global Humanitarian Director.

📢 Our Global Lead on Climate Justice, Teresa Anderson expresses that the new draft text on climate finance is very disappointing as it does not make provision for the TRILLIONS needed by developing countries! As we await the next round of this text at #COP29, we reiterate our call to rich countries to pay up for their climate debt.

Time is running out for climate-vulnerable nations like Bangladesh. They need immediate financial support to adapt and thrive in the face of a changing climate.   Let’s hold governments accountable at #COP29
