As @hadjalahbib.bsky.social visits DRCongo, we welcome her call for unimpeded #HumanitarianAccess and efforts to develop #HumanitarianDiplomacy initiatives.
ECHO's sustained support is helping #DRC enhance the living conditions of DRCongo's crisis- and displacement-affected communities.

DRC’s EU recommendations:
1️⃣ More dedicated funding for fragile contexts.
2️⃣ Strengthen rights & resilience of crisis-affected populations.
3️⃣ EU migration funds to focus on displaced populations.
4️⃣ Support the role of civil society.
📢 DRC’s contribution to the latest VOICE Out Loud highlights the need for a people-centred approach to effectively work across the nexus. Our #SolutionsFromTheStart framework focuses on strengthening resilience and self-reliance from the start. #HDPnexus
🌍 Fragility and forced displacement are closely linked, driven by conflict, climate change, and socio-economic instability. In 2024, over 120M people were displaced, with 6.7M more expected by 2026 (UNHCR, DRC). #Fragility #Displacement
In Mali, thousands of survivors of GBV lack access to essential services. Abrupt funding cuts and the uncertainty of psychosocial support programmes have directly impacted people’s safety and wellbeing.

One year ago, our colleague Manuel Alejandro Tique was detained while delivering aid to vulnerable communities in Venezuela.
From the Danish Refugee Council, we raise our voice for his release. His family, friends, and colleagues need him back.

An earthquake has struck Afghanistan late last night. So far, at least 622 have been reported killed and damage is extensive.
All local DRC staff are accounted for and well. DRC team has deployed teams to Kunar and Nangahar provinces for initial assessments for response.
We demand an end to this man-made famine and use of starvation a weapon of war by Israeli authorities. The answer is simple, let in principled humanitarian aid at scale. The world can no longer watch without acting as this catastrophe unfolds + the Palestinian people continue to suffer
#Famineingaza
Today on #WorldHumanitarianDay, we join calls for urgent action: respect international humanitarian law, protect civilians and humanitarians, and end impunity.
Humanitarian principles must be upheld - lives depend on it.
#ActForHumanity - now.
The rise in border identity checks and summer crackdowns in France and Belgium are exacerbating access barriers to basic services and rights for undocumented migrants. In 2024, MMC interviewed 1,002 undocumented migrants in #France and #Belgium finding that: ⬇️🧵

It’s been three weeks since the EU announced a deal with Israel to deliver ‘aid at scale’ to Gaza.
Since then, none of the commitments have been implemented.
Widespread famine is unfolding. Aid must be let in immediately. The EU must act NOW !
@kajakallas.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu
The IPC warns that the worst-case scenario of famine is currently unfolding in the Gaza Strip.
This is no time for smokescreen solutions or empty words. To prevent mass starvation, aid must be allowed in immediately and at scale.

Israel’s siege on Gaza is causing mass starvation.
Humanitarian agencies have the capacity and supplies to respond at scale. But the Israeli government continues to block access.
The solution is simple: Governments must act to save lives! #StopStarvingGaza
#EndTheSiege
#CeasefireNOW
The Israeli government’s siege is starving the people of Gaza.
Over 100 NGOs call on governments to act NOW.
It's time for an immediate, permanent ceasefire; all restrictions lifted; land crossings opened; full access and a principled, UN-led humanitarian response. #CeasefireNow #EndTheSiege
We urge the EU to act NOW: pressure the Israeli government to uphold international law by lifting the blockade, halting the deadly militarized aid scheme, and reinstating the UN-led mechanism!
#Gaza #HumanitarianAid #EUAction #CeasefireNOW!
JOINT STATEMENT: The EU's recent 'safe country' proposals appear to be part of a broader strategy to externalise the EU’s migration management.
With 50+ NGOs, we're calling on the EU and member states to reject any attempts to weaken protection for asylum seekers.
"Political winds can shift, but our values and obligations to the rule of law and asylum seekers and refugees must not" -Céline Mias, DRC EU Director.
As Denmark takes the EU presidency, it bears responsibility to uphold international obligations to asylum-seekers.
