#Afghanistan has one of the world’s highest maternal mortality rates, while too many women and girls continue to face barriers to healthcare.
Frontline health workers are supporting mothers and newborns, but they need more support, and these services must be expanded.

Grateful to G7 leaders for backing our mission to reach 87 million people with lifesaving aid this year.
Approaching the halfway point the challenges are immense. But the humanitarian community will meet the moment.

In eastern #DRC, escalating violence is taking a heavy toll on civilians, forcing families to flee and disrupting essential services.
The insecurity is also constraining aid operations and complicating efforts to contain the Ebola outbreak.

Maryam arrived in Rashad town, South Kordofan, seven months pregnant. She had lost everything.
Cash assistance from the Sudan Humanitarian Fund helped her buy food, clothes & mattresses for her family.
But Maryam and many other displaced people in Sudan need much more support.

International aid costs far less than most people think.
Across the @G7, perceptions don't match reality.
And yet, that investment helps save lives, reduce suffering and support communities in crisis.

Needs up, funding down.
But our Humanitarian Coordinators keep taking on the odds as they seek to reach 87m people with lifesaving aid. Hear more from them about their mission, and the challenges they face.

You can’t end every crisis. But you can end someone’s.
In the #Philippines, expectant mothers like Jamaica can access care and essential supplies again after being cut off by Typhoon Tino.
This is what humanitarian aid can do.

I'm releasing $10M from UN's Emergency Fund CERF for Somalia – the window to prevent famine is short.
6M people face severe hunger.
This funding will reach 640k people with lifesaving food, nutrition, health and water.

🚨 In 2025, the @UN documented over 37,000 civilian deaths across 20 armed conflicts. Actual numbers are likely much higher.
People were displaced, traumatized, left hungry and denied aid.
Wars have rules.
Civilians must be protected.

In remote communities across #Afghanistan, people need more than an end to the conflict, they need a future worth coming back to.
Humanitarian organizations are working to help some of the most underserved communities, but sufficient funding remains critical.

In eastern #DRC, escalating violence is undermining efforts to contain a rapidly expanding Ebola outbreak, raising the risk of further spread.
Renewed clashes in Masisi territory have displaced more people and restricted humanitarian movements.
