“The shockwaves from Israel’s ongoing and indiscriminate warfare on Gaza and Lebanon are reverberating across this entire region. "We cannot wait another day for an end to this senseless violence." Latest statement from Jan Egeland👇 nrc.no/news/2024/nove…

An Israeli strike on a Civil Defense centre in Baalbek, #Lebanon last week, killed 14 people, adding to the tragic death toll of more than 200 health and rescue workers since the war began. 1/3

27 Nov 24 - #Ceasefire. #israel has: - killed 3,768 people; - wounded 15,699; - bombed more than 99,000 housing units; - wiped out 37 southern border villages; - displaced over 886,000; - launched at least 27 attacks without warning on displaced residents in deemed safe areas.

The day the #ceasefire was announced, displaced families are returning to South #Lebanon. Israel continue to restrict access to 60 Lebanese villages. The damage to infrastructure is severe. There is a mix of hope for the ceasefire to last, and acute concerns about the winter.

Hi European populist politicians, you want to push Syrian refugees back to these homes while foreign powers are still bombing and no one knows how and who will be governing the various regions of the country? It would be cruel and reckless. Those who can will voluntarily return.

Lebanese people who endured, and still enduring, so much over the two months of war must be able to find stability and certainty.

ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE: A World Food Programme convoy, clearly marked & carrying 8 team members, was shot at by Israeli forces near Wadi Gaza despite prior clearances. Humanitarians are #NotATarget! We MUST have safe, secure access to continue delivering life-saving aid.

Good morning from #Beirut. Nevermind the background noise, it’s just the #israeli MK drone hovering over our heads every day. #ceasefire much?

A witness from the Lebanese Civil Defense, reported to Norwegian Refugee Council that olive groves were specifically targeted. Israeli forces targeted fields w/ incendiary weapons destroying 47,000 olive trees & nearly 2,000 acres of agriculture land. Read my story: nrc.no/feature/2025/a…

Pay attention to the language here. It’s subtle but important. Israel “extends military presence” and “procrastination” normalize and downplay its illegal occupation and violation of the ceasefire. When the Lebanese army says so, “accuses” makes it sound like it’s not a fact.

The friend of my friend found this when returning to her home in Khiyam, South #Lebanon! #israel #war #ceasefire

Senior humanitarian and development officials are meeting in Brussels today to address the humanitarian crisis in #Ukraine. We are there to advocate for the people affected by the crisis to ensure their needs are prioritised.

Read my story about how displaced #Ukrainians are living in #Moldova.

3 years since the war in #Ukraine escalated, displaced Ukrainians and their hosts in #Moldova are still struggling. Basic aid is not enough – they need jobs, shelter, stability. As Moldova’s energy crisis deepens, sustained support is vital. Fatigue must not turn into neglect.

The fighting, violence, and massive loss of civilian lives in Syria’s coastal region proves how much now is at stake as Syrians struggle to move to a better future. We must see real inter-Syrian reconciliation and protection of civilians, but the chronic lack of external

In January 2025, a sudden halt in gas supplies left over 350,000 people in the #Transnistrian region of #Moldova without reliable heat in -15°C temperatures. Among them, 6,000 Ukrainians who had fled the war in their home country. Read the full story: nrc.no/feature/2025/s…

All eyes must be on Al Fashir, Sudan. The international community must send a clear message: further attacks on civilians, aid workers, or essential services will not be tolerated. Thousands remain trapped under siege, running out of food, water & medicine. We call on all
