Today at the #EHF2025, our SG spoke about the catastrophic situation in #Sudan. Violence and famine are expanding – the crisis is spilling over and destabilizing fragile neighbouring countries. A coordinated, robust, and principled response is urgently needed.

Our SG wraps up two impactful days at #EHF2025. The forum took place at a critical time, as humanitarian funding declines while crises continue to multiply. Despite these challenges, we remain on the ground — and our commitment endures.

For women and girls who are forced to flee, "that time of the month" is an especially difficult struggle. To provide them with sanitary products and safe facilities is essential to ensure those days (as annoying as they could be) are lived with dignity. #GlobalMenstruationDay

In Gaza, food is being handed out under military watch. Private contractors. Facial recognition. Open gunfire. Since May 27, 100+ Palestinians have been killed trying to reach food. This is not humanitarian. It is militarized control.  drc.ngo/resources/news…

Yevhen was repairing his home in Pokrovsk when another missile strike hit. After multiple surgeries, he needed a medical bed to heal. Thanks to DRC & GermanForeignOffice, he now sleeps without pain 🛌 “It’s crucial for my recovery”, he adds.
