A ceasefire should mean safety. A chance to return home.
Yet ongoing violations and insecurity mean many families in #Lebanon cannot return home. With the support of @eu_echo, we help address urgent protection needs.

Conflict affects every aspect of a child's life, including their sense of safety and wellbeing.
At a shelter in #Lebanon, our partner @MouvementSocia2 with the support of @eu_echo is providing recreational activities that help children cope.

A ceasefire should bring safety. In #Lebanon, it has brought continued fear, displacement, and destruction: hostilities have surged by 85% since the so-called ceasefire began. Families deserve protection, not another cycle of fear and displacement.

More than 20% of #Lebanon’s population has been displaced. People need peace, stability and support in rebuilding their lives.
Hostilities by all parties and Israel's occupation of southern Lebanon must end immediately.

Over 1 million people in Lebanon are displaced by ongoing hostilities.
Mohammed’s story is just one among a million lives uprooted by war.
Needs are rising faster than available resources. Urgent support is needed to ensure safe and dignified living conditions.

I spoke on Al Jazeera’s Inside Story about the %humanitarian needs on the ground in #Afghanistan.
While the world turns its back on the Afghan population, we’re seeing displaced Afghans face extremely harsh winter conditions without the necessary support.

Millions of people in Afghanistan face acute food insecurity, the UN warns.
So, who could step in to avert a catastrophic hunger crisis?

Back in August, I met with our team in Mazar-e-Sharif along with recent returnees from Iran & Pakistan. We’re witnessing on a daily basis the needs of the ground increase while funding continues to shrink. The international community cannot leave the people #Afghanistan behind.
29 Nov 2025
Earlier this year, we reported from Mazar-e-Sharif on the challenges Afghans face when returning from Iran and Pakistan. Now, with winter coming and funding cuts hitting hard, the needs are becoming urgent. Donors must not abandon Afghan returnees.

In Badghis, newly returned families from Iran are heading to our community centre, urgently needing shelter, food, & legal documentation - all while earthquake-hit communities in eastern #Afghanistan still need critical aid. Your support is more vital now than ever before.

Today, our team walked for hours to reach the remote village of Bakhalak, eastern #Afghanistan, to deliver life-saving assistance to earthquake survivors still living in the open. As winter approaches, they urgently need shelter, food, water & winter supplies.

Over 1,400 dead and 3,100 injured in eastern #Afghanistan. Urgent humanitarian aid is needed, and forcing Afghans to return will only deepen the crisis. NRC urges neighbouring countries to suspend deportations and support the earthquake response, together with local authorities.

The devastating earthquake in eastern Afghanistan, has struck a country already facing multiple humanitarian crises.

Another powerful quake hit Nangarhar and Kunar in #Afghanistan last night. Our teams were forced to halt assessments and delivery of water. Working conditions are extremely challenging, and rain is expected in the coming days.
The authorities are working to reopen the roads.

We're deeply saddened by the tragic traffic accident in Herat #Afghanistan, which claimed the lives of tens of Afghans forced to return from Iran. Our heartfelt condolences to the families who lost their loved ones. All Afghans must have the right to return voluntarily and safely
