In 1968, a small group of Irish people saw suffering and famine in Biafra, and they didn’t wait for the world to act. Our community has grown, but our mission remains the same - because ending extreme poverty, wherever it is in the world, is our Concern.

A powerful speech by Tom Fletcher on the lack of funding for life-saving humanitarian work: "It's not that the money is not there, but political choices are being taken not to back this work in the way we should do."

What does the vandalism of international solidarity mean for those in greatest need?
And how do we fight back?

We do not lack laws to protect civilians in war. We lack the courage from states to enforce them.

Emerging, escalating and entrenched conflicts drove record internal displacements in 2025. For the first time on record, conflict and violence displaced people more often within their countries than disasters.
Millions were uprooted, many more than once.

In conflict, civilians always pay the highest price.
Yet even wars have rules.
Civilians must be protected — at all times, in all places.
They are #NotATarget.

At a time of deepening crisis in #Somalia, more than 30,000 households have received multi-purpose cash support over the past year from the Somali Cash Consortium.
“Multi-purpose cash assistance remains one of the most viable ways to provide dignified and prompt support, with its ability to reach populations wherever they are and transfer values that are adaptable to the market context. This timely assistance enables affected families to cover essential needs such as food, water, healthcare and shelter, while supporting local markets.”

People ask what happens if international cooperation breaks down. For humanitarians and those we serve it already has.
These deaths are choices: the human cost of unserious, short term politics; and a war economy that works for arms dealers, fossil fuels, and casino traders.

A bit of uncut frustration, pride and anger at the end of a week in Somalia.
