After months of uncertainty, we finally have confirmation that our food parcels have crossed the border and are on their way to families facing severe food shortages and daily insecurity.

❤️‍🩹 Today marks five years since the devastating explosion in Beirut. On August 4, 2020, a massive blast shook Lebanon’s capital, killing more than 200 people, injuring over 6,500, and leaving hundreds of thousands without homes.

The suffering of innocent people must never be used as a tool to achieve military or political goals. Humanitarian aid must reach those who need it most. Forced, permanent displacement is a violation of international humanitarian law. Our shared humanity should know no borders.

We were at #EHF2025 in Brussels 🇪🇺 - an inspiring gathering of people committed to humanitarian values in a rapidly changing world.

In times when humanity, neutrality, and independence are being tested, this forum reminded us why they matter more than ever.

In Kenya’s Kilifi region, 37% of children suffer from malnutrition. By the end of last year, over 78,000 locals were facing food insecurity, and more than half of the kids had dropped out of school early. It’s hard to learn when you’re hungry. 😔

Yesterday morning, the streets of downtown Sumy were filled with people on their way to church to celebrate Palm Sunday — a day in Ukraine when pussy willows are blessed as symbols of peace, hope, and new beginnings. But instead of peace, they were met with horror, explosions, and death.

💧 Water Worth More Than Gold 💧

Imagine having less than 6 liters of water per day—for drinking, cooking, and hygiene. This is the harsh reality for thousands of families in Gaza, where water has become more precious than gold.

Gaza: Anxiously Waiting for News on Our Aid Shipment

📦 At the end of February, our team traveled to Egypt to personally oversee the loading of 9,600 humanitarian food packages worth €30,000, destined for people in Gaza.
Gaza: Anxiously Waiting for News on Our Aid Shipment 📦 At the end of February, our team traveled to Egypt to personally oversee the loading of 9,600 humanitarian food packages worth €30,000, destined for people in Gaza. 🚚 The aid was supposed to be delivered across the border to the Red Crescent, which would distribute it to those in greatest need. However, the following Sunday, Gaza’s borders were once again closed to humanitarian shipments. The situation in the region is highly unpredictable, and communication is often extremely difficult—meaning confirmation of delivery can take days or even weeks. 🌐 We are in close contact with our partners at Misr el Kheir, anxiously and hopefully awaiting confirmation that the shipment made it through. If it did, it was one of the last… ✅ We refuse to turn our backs. Just €3—less than the price of a pastry—provides a full day’s worth of food for someone in Gaza.

Can Mental Health Be the Key to Peace? 🕊️

Long-term conflicts in the Middle East have left deep scars on people’s minds. Without healing those wounds, lasting and sustainable peace remains just an illusion.

🌎Can Mental Health Be the Key to Peace? 🕊️ Long-term conflicts in the Middle East have left deep scars on people’s minds. Without healing those wounds, lasting and sustainable peace remains just an illusion. 💬 “You cannot work on peacebuilding without addressing mental health and breaking the cycle of existing trauma.” Irene Weinz and Sarah Mueller, experts from the German Robert Bosch Stiftung foundation, explain why mental health support is a crucial part of peace processes—and how they help local communities overcome trauma.

Doing Good, the Right Way

We bring you the first in a series of interviews with experts working in mental health and protection, livelihoods, education, civil society, and essential aid worldwide.
Doing Good, the Right Way We bring you the first in a series of interviews with experts working in mental health and protection, livelihoods, education, civil society, and essential aid worldwide. Our colleague Allison spoke with Hrishabh Sandilyom from the European Programme for Integration and Migration (EPIM). This initiative helps strengthen the capacity of organizations tackling complex migration challenges while ensuring that marginalized voices are heard. It builds networks that connect key players, including civil society organizations, policymakers, local authorities, and the private sector. Their conversation focused on migration in Central and Eastern Europe and the role civil society plays in it. Read more on our website. https://peopleinperil.org/doing-good-well/

💧💧💧 Clean Water is a Matter of Survival in Gaza 💧💧💧

💧 Clean Water is a Matter of Survival in Gaza Despite the ceasefire in Gaza bringing hope for improvement, the situation remains extremely critical. Devastated infrastructure, completely destroyed food sources, and collapsed health and water systems—this is the reality in which the ceasefire was born. 🌧️ The rains, typical for the winter season, have severely worsened the already dire situation of displaced families. Damaged makeshift tents and shelters, contaminated water, and a lack of sanitation facilities have led to the spread of diseases. ✅ In collaboration with the Italian organization CESVI, we have been distributing drinking water in collective centers and temporary camps since mid-October. Every sip of clean, safe water saves lives in this humanitarian crisis. 🙏 We thank all members of the Friends’ Club and donors of Real Gifts – the Humanitarian Package and Water Can. Thanks to you, we can bring water where it is needed the most. 👉 Our help does not end with the ceasefire in Gaza. On the contrary. With the opening of humanitarian corridors and the suspension of aid from the U.S., it is crucial to persist. Join us in helping—it’s up to us. https://clovekvohrozeni.sk/humanitarna-pomoc-gaza/

🕊️ The ceasefire has silenced the guns, but the fight for survival continues 🕊️

🕊️ The ceasefire has silenced the guns, but the fight for survival continues 🕊️ 🌍 Following the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, more than half a million people are making their way north through the Necarim corridor. They are returning to their devastated homes, where little remains—but still, they are grateful to go back. The ceasefire has opened humanitarian corridors, giving hope that better days may finally come for Palestinians. But nothing is certain... ⛔ We are deeply concerned about U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to suspend all foreign aid programs for 90 days. This could endanger millions of people who rely on international support—not only in Gaza but worldwide. The U.S. contributes 42% of global humanitarian aid. With heavy hearts, we continue to monitor the situation in Gaza and remain committed to helping those who have lost their homes, safety, and loved ones to war. Right now, we are distributing desperately needed drinking water to the region, where shortages are severe. 🙏 Join us in supporting the people of Gaza: https://clovekvohrozeni.sk/humanitarna-pomoc-gaza/ Thank you.

: 💬 Although we are a non-partisan organization and our primary mission is to help those in need, the current situation compels us to speak out. Actions that weaken civil society and undermine democratic principles directly impact our work. That is why we have joined the Civil Society Organizations' Appeal addressed to the Prime Minister, members of the Slovak government, and leaders of the coalition parties. ✅ We strongly oppose the verbal attacks by government officials against the civil sector and the misleading portrayal of non-profit organizations as enemies of the state. Such rhetoric discredits the crucial work and mission of these organizations. What are we calling for? ❓ 👉 An end to the hate campaign against civil society. 👉 Maintaining Slovakia’s anchoring in the EU and NATO. 👉 Transparency in public governance and public participation in decision-making. 👉 Fair and sustainable funding for non-profit organizations’ projects. Why does this matter? ❓ NGOs, including ours, fill the gaps left by an ineffective state in areas such as healthcare, education, environmental protection, and social care. Attacks on these organizations don’t just threaten their work—they weaken our society and democracy itself. ➡️ Read the full text of the Civil Society Organizations' Appeal to the Prime Minister, the government, and coalition leaders: https://www.predemokraciu.sk/2025/01/29/otvoreny-list-obcianskeho-sektora-vlade-sr/ Please help us spread this message. 💪 Together, we can achieve more.

We are closely following developments after the negotiation and approval of the ceasefire in Gaza with a sense of hope and anticipation. In the first days, both sides of the conflict have honored their commitments, leading to the initial exchange of detainees. Many internally displaced people have started returning to areas they were forced to flee due to fighting, airstrikes, and shelling, beginning the process of rebuilding their homes. We’re especially glad that the ceasefire agreement includes provisions to improve humanitarian access to the region, allowing us to continue providing much-needed assistance. Currently, we are distributing drinking water to civilians in Gaza.
