In #Burundi, floods disrupted lives and forced people to relocate repeatedly.

Thanks to funding from @UNCERF, communities now have a place to sleep, access to clean water, and opportunities to earn an income.

Rapid funding saves lives in emergencies.

In #Sri Lanka, Cyclone Ditwah triggered the worst floods in decades.

A timely allocation from the UN Global Emergency Fund CERF helped partners reach the most affected people with cash for food, clean water and shelter.

Warehouses in Jordan are still full of aid for Gaza.

Thousands of truckloads of life-saving assistance are ready to move.

But only small amounts are currently allowed to cross the border each week.

All restrictions must be lifted so life-saving aid can reach people at scale.

Since the ceasefire in Gaza, humanitarians have been working around the clock to reach people with life-saving aid.

But progress is fragile.

"Emergency response and the transition to early recovery cannot wait for political solutions."

More from our spokesperson in Gaza.

First a brutal war. Now winter storms.

In #Gaza, there is no respite.

Shelters blown away. Children suffer hypothermia. People are killed as buildings collapse.

The UN and partners are providing life-saving aid.

But all restrictions must be lifted to scale up faster.

Kiir was forced to flee his home in South Sudan due to conflict and floods.

Now, he’s displaced in Malakal, Upper Nile – without safe shelter, enough food, or a way to earn a living.

Humanitarians are calling for $1.04B to deliver life-saving aid to 4 million people.

📍 South Sudan: Conflict. Floods. A cholera outbreak.

People are at breaking point, but funding cuts are pulling away vital aid.

"Some communities feel we're abandoning them," says the Humanitarian Coordinator.

"But we're not leaving as long as one of us is left standing."

3 months into the #Gaza ceasefire, humanitarians continue to help people in immense need, despite serious impediments.

Our colleague explains how rapid funding from the UN Global Emergency Fund CERF helped aid workers act fast.

But for a full humanitarian scale-up, all restrictions must be lifted.

1,000 days of war in #Sudan – nearly half the length of World War II.

This must end. We’re calling for:

🔴 An urgent end to the war.
🔴 Protection of civilians and aid workers.
🔴 A renewed push on funding.

More from our Spokesperson. ⬇️

🔴 1,000 days of war in #Sudan.

Mass killings. Sexual violence. Attacks on homes, hospitals and schools.

Aid workers are doing everything they can, but they need safe access to people in need and more funding to save lives.

The world must act now. #KeepEyesOnSudan
