En route vers Bunia, en Ituri, en RDC.
Une région frappée par l'épidémie d'#Ebola.
Depuis le premier jour, l'UE travaille avec ses partenaires africains aux côtés des populations affectées, sur le terrain, avec une aide humanitaire et sanitaire.

Wildfire season is here. In 2025, over 1 million hectares of land burned across the EU.
Every second counts when fire strikes. That's why @eu_echo prepares in advance.
🚒 Firefighters pre-positioned
✈️ Aircraft on standby
📞 24/7 coordination

In 🇱🇧 #EUSolidarity continues.
Medical items & personal protective equipment from 🇵🇱 just reached Beirut through the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism.
This follows a 🇩🇪 delivery of 220,000 surgical masks also via the Mechanism.

The humanitarian system is under pressure like never before. Funding cuts. More crises. Fewer people reached.
Today we published the new Joint Communication on Humanitarian Aid.
Protect. Perform. Partner.
Because the EU doesn't look away. 👉 link.europa.eu/TrFNYt

Today, we’re presenting our new Joint Communication on Humanitarian action.
It is about a Europe that stands for dignity, solidarity, and collective action for people in need.
This new approach is built on 3 priorities: protect, perform, partner.🧵

Citizens spoke, now it's our turn.
150 Europeans, 3 months of deliberation, one clear message.
The EU Citizens' Panel on Preparedness has delivered its final recommendations, and their input will shape how we implement the Preparedness Union Strategy.

On #WorldVyshyvankaDay, I am reminded of the depth of Ukraine’s cultural heritage and resilience. The vyshyvanka is often described as the cultural DNA and symbolic “genetic code” of Ukraine – a living expression of identity, continuity, and pride.
💙💛We stand with Ukraine.

More than 1,500 Russian drones and dozens of missiles launched against Ukrainian cities since yesterday.
Civilian homes, a school and critical infrastructure struck. Innocent people killed and wounded.
Ukrainians need protection, support and solidarity more than ever.

Great to see @MPopowskiEU again. The EU–WBG partnership in fragile and conflict-affected contexts is moving forward, based on shared goals of fostering economic prosperity through peace and stability, strong institutions, foundational investments, and job creation for people.

Jestem ogromnie zasmucony śmiercią polskiego pilota straży pożarnej który zginął podczas walk z pożarem lasu we wschodniej Polsce.
Wyrazy współczucia dla jego rodziny, kolegów oraz wszystkich służb ratowniczych,które ryzykują życie, aby chronić innych.

This #FirefightersDay, I want to express my gratitude to the brave men and women who risk their lives to protect others.
From wildfires to war zones, often far from home, you embody the spirit of European solidarity - courage, compassion, and service.
Thank you!
