Yesterday another Palestinian reporter was killed in Gaza - Fatima Hassouna - along with her family. Her crime was to chronicle the genocide through powerful articles and photos. What a genocidal regime cannot allow. Those, particularly journalists, who continue to remain

“A Life Left Behind” Faqir Mohammad, a 70-year-old man from Kunduz Afghanistan, spent his entire adult life in Pakistan. He had lived there for 40 years - long enough to raise a family, build a small business, and try to create a sense of stability. With his wife and 3

Asad Ullah fled genocide in #Myanmar. He died in #Indonesia because he couldn’t access basic healthcare. He was 25. He’d just become a father. This is what happens when the world turns away from the #Rohingya. Poignant piece by Abdu Rahman thediplomat.com/2025/04/2-rohi…

It is tragic to witness the struggles faced by Afghan returnees, desperate for basic necessities like clean water, food, and shelter. In 2025, we cannot turn a blind eye to their suffering and label Afghanistan as a “failed nation” in the pages of our children's history books.

What would you do without access to food, water, fuel or medicine for 50 days? This is the reality for people in #Gaza right now. Despite security risks, dwindling supplies and access restrictions, PRCS has continued helping people in Gaza, day in and day out.

Afghan families returning from Pakistan to Omari camp, Torkham face severe health crises - dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea, scabies outbreak, and suspected measles, TB, dengue. Health teams from افغاني سره میاشت are responding, but services are insufficient. #AfghanistanCrisis

Imagine returning to a homeland you've never seen. Hundreds of thousands are coming back to Afghanistan - some born in Pakistan, now stepping into the unknown. They need support. @IFRC & افغاني سره میاشت will be there - listening, helping, standing with them. Support their work.

With medicine supplies running low, urgent support is needed to help the افغاني سره میاشت respond on the ground. Over 20,000 people have crossed into #Afghanistan via Spin Boldak as of April 1. Many arrive in distress, some children visibly traumatised. #AfghanistanCrisis #IFRC

I wonder whether the European Civil Protection Mechanism can be activated for people—especially children—burned alive in plastic tents, or is it just for trees.

#HindRajab is one for the 18,000 children Israel has killed in Gaza with western manufactured weapons since Ict 2023. Those starved, buried alive, disappeared and killed inside, do not figure in this count.

As the Afghan returnee crisis escalates, the @IFRC launched an emergency appeal for 25 million Swiss francs to assist over 500,000 people with healthcare services, food support, and temporary shelter. The appeal funds will be funneled to the most at-risk and vulnerable returnees,

43 degrees in #Afghanistan where thousands are returning from #Iran + #Pakistan. Afghan Red Crescent | افغاني سره میاشت is there but food, water, medicine & shelter are lacking. More support is needed for people who’ve endured so much. IFRC Asia Pacific 👉🏼 bit.ly/3G5ya3D
