Despite the ceasefire, vital aid remains blocked at Gaza’s borders. Nearly $50M in food, water, and medical supplies is stranded as families face hunger and winter without shelter. Humanitarian access must be immediate and unhindered. #Gaza #HumanitarianAid

Two years ago, the war in Gaza began. While hostilities, forced displacement, famine, blocked aid, & attacks on healthcare show no real sign of ending, one reality is often overlooked: women & girls are silently suffering the consequences.

Two years of war in Gaza. Families uprooted, hospitals destroyed, and children losing their lives and futures. Famine and fear have become a daily reality. We call for a permanent ceasefire and unrestricted humanitarian aid. #Gaza #HumanitarianAid

Nearly 10 years of war have left Yemen in ruins. Millions lack food, clean water, and medical care. Hospitals are destroyed, diseases are spreading, and the UN calls it one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. This is man-made. We cannot look away.

🔴 Gaza City is under relentless bombardment.
Airstrikes force tens of thousands to flee, while many—like our colleague Nour—remain. She was displaced with her children, walking through a city in ruins.

🔴 Our Gaza City clinic has been destroyed by Israeli airstrikes. No warning was given. Thankfully, patients & staff are safe. We condemn this violation of humanitarian law and must suspend all clinic operations indefinitely.

⚠️ Violence in the DRC is escalating. In July alone, 57 attacks targeted aid workers. When humanitarians are under fire, communities lose access to life-saving care. Protecting them means protecting health itself. #DRC #NotATarget #DoctorsOfTheWorld

🚨 Famine has been declared in Gaza for the first time. Children & pregnant women are already suffering from acute malnutrition. Without immediate humanitarian access & a ceasefire, countless lives will be lost. Gaza cannot wait.

2024 was the deadliest year for aid workers. 2025 is already worse: 128 killed in 5 months—98% local staff. In Gaza alone, 107 have been killed since January. Their courage saves lives, but they deserve protection. Uphold international law. #WorldHumanitarianDay2025 #ActForHumanity

Israel’s siege is starving Gaza. Children are dying, adults fainting from hunger—while aid is blocked.

Humanitarian groups can respond, but need access.

Governments must act now—before it’s too late.

NGOs urge:
❌ End the siege
❌ Don’t fund militarized aid
🚨 Restore UN-led coordination
