Europe is facing widespread heatwaves and wildfires🔥. Heat risks are preventable with early action.
The @IFRC Network is mobilizing. Teams are providing safety tips, checking on the most vulnerable and supporting efforts to battle wildfires. #BeatTheHeat
New @ifrc research shows financial pressures for Ukrainians abroad are moving many back to Ukraine and to frontline areas, despite the dangers.
Thank you @MariaRamosUK @trtworld for having Madeleine on your show. youtu.be/QhwDNaGUv8E?si=bOeQ…
When crisis hits, communication is key to:
🎤sharing life-saving information
🙌raising awareness about humanitarian needs
⛑️allowing us to help those who need it
A great week at a @ifrc emergency communications training with brilliant Red Crossers from 13 countries in Europe! – at Hungary
Nearly 4 years ago, @IFRC took over the world’s largest cash program with @RedCrescent supporting 1.5 million refugees, thanks to @eu_echo.
Proud to share at a learning event this week on how we put local voices at the centre, ensuring affected communities tell their own story. – at Ankara, Türkiye
A busy and inspiring week in the Netherlands, getting communications experts in the @ifrc network ready to support international emergencies.
Thanks @RodeKruis for hosting us 👏 – at The Netherlands
When leadership and communications work together, we can position our brand, educate on humanitarian issues and advocate for the people the @ifrc network helps. 💪
Great to be a part of the @RedCross & @RedCrossRomania communications workshop this week to learn & share together. – at Bucharest, Romania
In London with a talented group of humanitarians across Europe, opened by @MichaelAdamson5.
Great to learn and discuss how to better respond, communicate and fundraise for critical disasters and crises globally.
Thank you @BritishRedCross & @CroixRouge_CH for hosting!
"We are trying to be ok, we have to stand strong, there is nothing else to do," says grandmother Mihriban.
I met these three generations of women close to the epicentre in Kahramanmaraş where Turkish @RedCrescent is providing food and psychosocial support at a temporary shelter.
Coming from Ankara, Tuba rushed to the impacted region in Turkiye to help.
"It's the feeling of unity, this is why I volunteer. We are in this together. We want to help."
Tuba is one of 4,000 volunteers across the affected area providing warm food to 31.3 million hot meals to people affected.
I met Tuba, a volunteer with the Turkish @RedCrescent in Osmaniye.
The city is one of many impacted by the two earthquakes last Monday. Many are living in temporary shelters until they figure out their next steps.
On Friday, I witnessed mixed emotions in front of collapsed buildings in Gaziantep - hope, distress, loss.
@RedCrescent have been here since day 1.
The needs are only starting for the survivors, @ifrc will work with @kizilay to support those who need it every step of the way. – at Gaziantep, Türkiye
Arrived in Turkiye, “home away from home” under heartbreaking circumstances after 2 devastating earthquakes.
As @ifrc, we are working along side the Turkish @RedCrescent who are helping people with food, blood supply to hospitals, first aid, psychosocial support & other relief.
