Our colleague Zaynab Mayladan speaking from one of the neighbourhoods that were severely affected by the #BeirutExplosion last year. "The houses may be fixed from the outside today, but a lot of damage remains behind the closed doors. People are struggling." #Lebanon

One year after the #BeirutBlast, many small businesses resumed their activities and recovered their homes thanks to the assistance provided together with NRC Middle East & North Africa and the support of EU in Lebanon in the aftermath of the explosion. #UnitedForBeirut Read the full story👇

"How much more can we take?" "When you visited us before, we had one thing on our mind and it was the explosion. But now we have many things to worry about. Work, rent, children, living expenses, the high dollar rate…." #Lebanon #BeirutExplosion

Today Norwegian Refugee Council distributed 20,000l of water to people in Zaporizhzhia impacted by the dam breach over a month ago. The Dnipro river has massively receded, leaving conflict-affected communities hugely reliant on aid. Vasyl showed us one of many homes damaged by floods.

More bombs and missiles. More civilians killed. More people fleeing across the region. As Roberto Vila-Sexto our CD in Ukraine says “we urgently call upon all parties to the conflict to respect intl. humanitarian law and stop targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure.”
