All eyes must be on Al Fashir, Sudan. The international community must send a clear message: further attacks on civilians, aid workers, or essential services will not be tolerated. Thousands remain trapped under siege, running out of food, water & medicine. We call on all

This week in the West Bank, I have witnessed how Israeli settler violence is driving vulnerable Palestinian communities from their homes. Courageous NRC colleagues are active on the ground and working to support communities at existential threat. But the international community

Humanitarian leader Jan Egeland has just returned from his latest trip to the West Bank, where he says Israel is entrenching its occupation of Palestinian land each day. "You see how the place is annexed and the occupation deepens," says @NRC_Egeland.

Gaza: $50 million worth of essential aid from operational NGOs — food, medical supplies, hygiene items, and shelter materials — remain stuck at crossings and warehouses, unable to reach those in need. Vulnerable Palestinians in Gaza's ruins are now bracing for winter, in

The same violence and impunity we saw in Gaza is dispossessing whole communities on the West Bank. I’ve witnessed how Israeli settler violence, backed by the authorities, is driving vulnerable Palestinian communities from their homes. See our latest ⬇️

West Bank: Heartbreaking to see Bedouin community housing in ashes. They were torched by violent Israeli settlers who also stole their livelihoods, and who are diverting the scarce water to their ever-increasing illegal settlments. Palestinians told us that settler violence is

I’m back on the West Bank, where conditions for Palestinian communities and refugees have become much worse since I was last here, 3 years ago. Bedouin and other rural communities are violently harassed by armed gangs from the growing number of illegal settlements. Entire

Russian strikes on Kyiv’s energy infrastructure killed 6 people last night, leaving thousands in the cold. Attacks on energy are attacks on civilians. Winter is closing in and every day without power risks lives. See NRC’s new statement: ⬇️

We welcome the ceasefire warmly. Now good words must be followed by concrete actions on the ground. Humanitarian organisaitons must be given full, impartial access. Israel’s continued refusal to grant access to major international aid organisations under its re-registration
