Today a 7.7Mw earthquake struck central Myanmar, leaving people devastated & in need of drinking water, food & shelter.
An urgent emergency response, with full humanitarian access, is needed.

In #Yemen over ten years of a brutal civil war has left 49% of the population without access to clean water.
Concern, through our local partner, has successfully finished a project in the west of the country which will provide over 6,000 people with safe water and sanitation services, in an area facing extreme levels of malnutrition and public health crises.

🚨Out now - Lives on the Line: The Human Impact of US Foreign Aid Shifts.
Six weeks after the U.S. administration issued a global aid freeze, humanitarian organisations are being forced to suspend lifesaving programs—cutting off food, healthcare, and shelter for the world’s most vulnerable.
Building on the ICVA survey, as well as secondary data from @UNOCHA, @GroundTruthSol, @humentum_org, interviews and discussions with donors, UN agencies, and partners, the report highlights the catastrophic fallout:
🔹 2/3 of NGOs have reduced or halted operations, in some cases up to 100%.
🔹 Local & refugee-led organisations face collapse.
🔹 A growing domino effect as other donors cut aid.
⏳ Humanitarian aid is an essential public good. The global community must step up before it's too late.

A Concern worker’s assessment of the deteriorating humanitarian situation in #Sudan:
“While the humanitarian community, and Concern, are doing what we can, there is too little funding and too few resources to meet the unprecedented needs.
“It’s no wonder that people I talked with there feel they have been forgotten – it is inhuman to think that people can survive, let alone thrive, with such little support.”

Trócaire's Acting Country Manager in Sudan, Mandefro Aynalem says:
"The conflicts in the world have increased significantly and the attention has been diverted to the Ukraine war and currently to Gaza."
Sudan is the "most severe crisis in the world but it's underfunded".
Aid agencies say Sudan is suffering the worst humanitarian catastrophe in recent history, yet the crisis in the northeast African country remains unknown to most of the world rte.ie/news/world/2024/1217/…

🚨 Over 18 months into the Sudan conflict, the crisis continues to break tragic records:
- Half the population faces acute food insecurity.
- All 18 states report alarming malnutrition rates.
Food assistance is a lifeline for millions. We cannot turn away. #WorldFoodDay
Dóchas retweeted
Today is #WorldFoodDay
Food is a fundamental human right and essential for building a sustainable future.
Recognising this right means creating a food system that meets today's needs while protecting our planet and health for the future.
The world produces enough food to feed its 8 billion people. Yet 733 million people - 1 in 11 - go hungry every day. 📽️ ⬇️
