The intensity of attacks escalated during the reporting period. The United Nations Emergency Relief Coordinator [highlighted](https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2026\/05\/1167483) the urgency of the situation, stressing that affected populations require a sustained and genuine ceasefire.\n\nOn 14 May, the Humanitarian Coordinator (HC), Imran Riza, visited Beirut\u2019s southern suburbs (Dahieh) and observed **widespread destruction, major infrastructure damage, and large-scale displacement affecting around half of the population**, alongside complex return patterns and overcrowded, inadequate shelter conditions. The HC highlighted **severe and growing humanitarian needs**, including loss of homes and livelihoods, disrupted basic services, and rising psychosocial distress. Based on these findings, the HC called for an **urgent scale-up of humanitarian assistance**, restoration of essential services, and **immediate support for early recovery**, while emphasizing stronger coordination with municipalities and a **more inclusive, decentralized response** to enable safe and dignified returns.\n\nAttacks on healthcare and humanitarian personnel persisted. Since 2 March, **161 incidents affecting healthcare have been recorded**, resulting in 110 deaths and 252 injuries among healthcare workers. Following the ceasefire announcement, at least 15 additional incidents were reported, causing further casualties. Three hospitals and 42 primary healthcare centres remain closed due to ongoing insecurity, significantly constraining access to essential services. During the reporting period, two paramedics were killed and one injured in airstrikes in Nabatieh governorate, further affecting emergency response capacity.\n\n**Displacement levels increased following the deterioration in security conditions.** During the reporting period, renewed displacement orders were issued for eighteen localities in southern Lebanon and the Bekaa governorate, triggering additional population movements. As of 14 May, approximately 129,721 people are reported to be sheltering in 632 collective shelters.\n\n**Displacement patterns remain fluid,** with continued movements between areas of origin and displacement sites. A number of families who attempted to return to their homes were unable to do so due to widespread damage, prompting secondary displacement back into collective shelters or informal arrangements. This has contributed to rising shelter occupancy and increased pressure on already limited capacity.\n\n**Access constraints persist across parts of southern Lebanon and Nabatieh governorates,** where insecurity and infrastructure damage continue to impede humanitarian operations. Since the escalation began, **131 humanitarian movements carrying essential supplies have been facilitated** through the Humanitarian Notification System.\n\n**Efforts to scale up the response continued** during the reporting period, including the arrival of humanitarian supplies. On 11 May, **more than 4,500 emergency shelter and household items were** [**airlifted**](https:\/\/www.iom.int\/news\/emergency-relief-items-airlifted-lebanon-1-million-remain-displaced) **from Maastricht,** Netherlands, to Beirut through the European Union Humanitarian Air Bridge.\n\n**Humanitarian partners continue to face growing operational pressure** to sustain assistance in displacement settings while expanding support to newly affected and hard-to-reach areas.\n\n**Funding constraints remain a major challenge.** As of mid-May, the 2026 Lebanon Flash Appeal has received approximately US$129 million out of the US$308 million required (42 per cent funded). The funding gap is limiting the ability of partners to maintain essential services and scale up the response. **Critical sectors, including water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), face the risk of service interruptions in the coming months,** particularly in relation to water provision in collective shelters and support to public water systems.","country":[{"id":137,"name":"Lebanon","shortname":"Lebanon","iso3":"lbn","location":{"lat":33.92,"lon":35.89},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-16T11:17:07+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212310","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Lebanon: Conflict Intensity Snapshot (2 March - 14 May 2026)","country":[{"id":137,"name":"Lebanon","shortname":"Lebanon","iso3":"lbn","location":{"lat":33.92,"lon":35.89},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-16T10:54:52+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212301","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Latinoam\u00e9rica y El Caribe Resumen de Situaci\u00f3n Semanal al 15 de mayo 2026","body":"**CIFRAS CLAVE**\n\n- 5,9M de personas fueron desplazadas internamente en las Am\u00e9ricas en 2025\n- 82% de probabilidad de condiciones de El Ni\u00f1o entre mayo y julio de 2026\n- 5,3K personas desplazadas debido a enfrentamientos armados en Ouest, Hait\u00ed, desde el 10 de mayo\n\n**REGIONAL: DESPLAZAMIENTO**\n\nSeg\u00fan el Informe Global del Observatorio de Desplazamiento Interno, publicado el 13 de mayo, en 2025 se registraron en las Am\u00e9ricas casi 5,9 millones de desplazamientos internos, la segunda cifra m\u00e1s alta en una d\u00e9cada.

Conflict and violence drove almost 1.6 million movements, with Haiti, Colombia and Ecuador all posting record figures. Haiti alone accounted for nearly 977,000 displacements, over 80 per cent of global displacement linked to criminal violence, while Colombia recorded 394,000 and Ecuador 132,000. Disasters triggered 4.3 million movements, including 1.5 million pre-emptive evacuations in Chile following a tsunami alert and 735,000 in Cuba ahead of Hurricane Melissa. By the end of the year, around 10.5 million people remained displaced across the region.\n\n**CENTRAL AMERICA: FOOD SECURITY**\n\nFood insecurity is expected to worsen across Central America\u2019s Dry Corridor as the lean season takes hold, driven by erratic rainfall, rising input costs, and depleted household food stocks. In Honduras and El Salvador, most poor rural households currently face Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes, with pockets of Crisis (IPC Phase 3) in the most affected areas. From June to September, Crisis outcomes are projected to expand as the lean season peaks and primera harvests are impacted by poor rainfall and high temperatures, reducing both food availability and agricultural labour opportunities. Elevated fuel and fertilizer prices continue to drive up food and transportation costs, further eroding purchasing power and constraining access to food. Humanitarian partners are already implementing anticipatory action drought interventions in both countries, supported by UN Global Emergency Fund (CERF) allocations under OCHA-supported anticipatory action frameworks.\n\n**HAITI: VIOLENCE & DISPLACEMENT**\n\nViolence in Haiti\u2019s Ouest department has escalated sharply following armed clashes in multiple neighbourhoods of Cit\u00e9 Soleil that began on 10 May, triggering significant displacement and worsening humanitarian conditions. At least 5,354 people (1,281 households) have been displaced, with population movements ongoing. The violence has also disrupted key access routes, constraining humanitarian operations and mobility. MSF has suspended all medical activities in Cit\u00e9 Soleil after evacuating its hospital amid intense fighting, leaving a critical gap in health service provision in an area where few facilities remain operational. Civilians, including children, have been killed and injured, while some families remain trapped in affected areas, highlighting ongoing protection concerns. These events follow repeated displacement in the same neighbourhoods in recent months, underscoring a continued deterioration of the security environment and an increased risk of protracted and cyclical displacement.\n\n**REGIONAL: EL NI\u00d1O FORECASTING**\n\nEl Ni\u00f1o conditions are increasingly likely to emerge in the coming months, with the latest forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) indicating an 82 per cent chance of development between May and July 2026 and a high likelihood of persisting through early 2027, raising concerns of significant humanitarian impacts across Latin America and the Caribbean. Anticipated effects include heightened drought, heat and food insecurity in parts of Central America and the Caribbean, alongside increased rainfall, flooding and landslides along the Pacific coast of Ecuador and Peru and across parts of the Southern Cone. Across the region, these conditions are expected to exacerbate existing vulnerabilities, disrupt livelihoods, and increase health risks, particularly in fragile and climate-exposed communities.","country":[{"id":113,"name":"Haiti","shortname":"Haiti","iso3":"hti","location":{"lat":19.18,"lon":-72.43},"primary":true},{"id":57,"name":"Chile","shortname":"Chile","iso3":"chl","location":{"lat":-37.72,"lon":-72.31}},{"id":64,"name":"Colombia","shortname":"Colombia","iso3":"col","location":{"lat":3.9,"lon":-73.07}},{"id":71,"name":"Cuba","shortname":"Cuba","iso3":"cub","location":{"lat":21.95,"lon":-79.24}},{"id":81,"name":"Ecuador","shortname":"Ecuador","iso3":"ecu","location":{"lat":-1.16,"lon":-78.43}},{"id":83,"name":"El Salvador","shortname":"El Salvador","iso3":"slv","location":{"lat":13.74,"lon":-88.87}},{"id":116,"name":"Honduras","shortname":"Honduras","iso3":"hnd","location":{"lat":14.82,"lon":-86.62}}],"source":[{"name":"UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T19:29:48+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212298","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Haiti : Violence and displacement in Artibonite \u2013 Flash Update No. 2 (as of 15 May 2026)","body":"**HIGHLIGHTS**\n\n- 4 419 people displaced following the May 2 attacks\n- At least six deaths and nine gunshot injuries reported in the commune of Saint-Marc after the May 8 and 9 attacks\n- New population displacements reported, with movements still ongoing following the May 8 and 9 attacks\n\n**SITUATION OVERVIEW**\n\nSince May 2, 2026, the Artibonite department has been facing a continuation and intensification of armed attacks, resulting in increasing humanitarian impacts.

About two thirds of the population, over 15 million people, most of them women, girls, and children, require help this year.\n\nWe prioritize women, girls and children in all our humanitarian action because they are so often on the front line of these crises.\n\nBut current funding levels mean we will only reach about half of those in need.\n\nLarge-scale returns to Syria are a very positive sign of change, but they are also increasing pressure on already limited services, housing, livelihoods and infrastructure.\n\nAnd pressure on the humanitarian response continues to rise.\n\nMore than 390,000 people have crossed the border from Lebanon since early March. That is 90,000 \\[people\\] since we briefed you a month ago. More than 80 per cent of those arrivals are Syrian, and more than 86,000 have indicated an intention to stay permanently. Many need some level of support.\n\nAt the same time, the prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz means that the cost of food and fuel is rising, with immediate consequences for communities already on the edge. Diesel is up 17 per cent, electricity by several hundred per cent in some areas, and while subsidized bread prices remain unchanged, the loaves are 12 per cent smaller.\n\nAnd flooding continues, notably in the north, where 13,000 people have been affected since late April, along with damage to roads, bridges, farming land and livestock.\n\nSo, predictable and flexible humanitarian funding is essential to reach more people and make full use of improved access that we now have to many areas.\n\nI thank the donors who are stepping up to support the hyper-prioritized Syrian appeal, led by the US with US$160 million, the EU with $63 million and Japan with $42 million.\n\nHowever, almost halfway through the year, the humanitarian appeal still sits at barely more than 16 \u2013 one-six \u2013 per cent funded, with only $480 million received against the $2.9 billion needed.\n\nAlmost 90 per cent of the money received comes from the U.S., the Europeans, Japan, and Canada. We are ready to receive funding from the rest of the world.\n\nJust this week, the impact of the funding shortages was stark. The World Food Program has been forced to reduce its emergency food assistance by 50 per cent \u2013 from reaching 1.3 million people to reaching 650,000. And also, it has had to halt its nationwide bread subsidy program that has supported millions each day.\n\nIn the health system, we see the tension between progress and fragility. Over the past month, nearly 800 children under five received essential vaccinations, including polio.\n\nBut at the same time, serious public health risks persist.\n\nLeishmaniasis cases have risen sharply this year in Aleppo. Nearly 150 measles cases were reported in the first four months of this year. Hepatitis A cases have also increased, and these trends reflect limited health services in many areas, and the ongoing risks from unsafe water and sanitation.\n\nHere, as elsewhere, when we are supported, we deliver. The UN and NGO partners, in cooperation with the Syrian Government, have reached communities across the country, including improving access to clean water for more than 3 million people, many in camps and displacement centers, and more than 2.2 million health interventions.\n\nFor the people of Syria, the second tranche allocation announced yesterday by the US means further funding and support, allowing more partners to save more lives, and this will be on top of the current work of the Syria Humanitarian Fund that has allocated $145 million to life-saving interventions this year for communities most in need.\n\nMr. President,\n\nA second point: investing in recovery is essential for stabilization.\n\nOver 3.4 million people in Syria returned in 2025, and that trend continues. More than 315,000 refugees returned in the first four months this year, and I expect returns to rise over the summer once the school year has ended.\n\nHigher returns, greater institutional stability, improved humanitarian access create a real opportunity to move beyond the long-standing emergency humanitarian response, as \\[Syrian\\] President \\[Ahmad\\] al-Sharaa stressed in Damascus last month, demining and protection remain paramount.\n\nAnd exploded ordinance remains a major threat, a key barrier to safe returns and economic recovery. It continues to kill and maim people across Syria. Since just 22nd of April, explosive ordnance has killed 15 people, including five children, and injured 37, including 14 children. And farming and raising cattle is especially dangerous.\n\nThis is why the Government of Syria has identified a \u201cNo Mines\u201d policy as a key pillar of its forward agenda, and we support this goal.\n\nMr. President.\n\nNearly 80 per cent of respondents to a nationwide survey said they were aware of gender-based violence incidents in their communities, most commonly domestic violence.\n\nPsychological abuse and early marriage also remain common, and delays or gaps in services can have fatal consequences.\n\nChild protection risks also remain acute. One in five respondents to our recent survey across nearly half of assessed communities reported risks, including violence, neglect, child labor and early enforced marriage.\n\nAnd many people in Syria report needing civil documentation and support to resolve housing, land and property issues \u2013 major obstacles to sustainable returns and drivers of social tension and exclusion.\n\nMr. President,\n\nMy third and final point. The Government of Syria\u2019s priorities are clear.\n\nThe \u201cNo Tents and Camps\u201d vision provides a framework for collective action, helping Syria move from prolonged humanitarian response to sustainable, nationally-owned solutions.\n\nThe Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Syria, Ms. Natalie Foustier, visited Aleppo and Idlib last week with representatives of the Government of Syria and UN agencies to meet communities and partners engaged in progressing this important \u201cNo Camps and No Mines\u201d initiative. And the UN stands ready to support that vision through the Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan, which I launched with the Government of Syria and the Administrator of \\[the UN Development Programme Alexander De Croo\\] in Damascus just a few weeks ago.\n\nMr. President,\n\nGlobally, the humanitarian community faces an increasingly daunting set of challenges, but we have a plan \u2013 prioritized, collective, efficient \u2013 to reach 87 million people with life-saving support this year, and it is working.\n\nWe\u2019ve reached 14.4 million people already, and our courageous colleagues are out there right now reaching more, one life at a time. And we are making all the tracking of that funding and the outcomes available to the public \u2013 radical transparency to ensure that we hold our teams, ourselves, our donors and our partners to account for the results.\n\nAnd we are determined that, alongside the Government of Syria, Syria becomes an example of the best measure of humanitarian effort working, which is that we are no longer needed, that we no longer need to have Security Council briefings on Syria, and I believe Syria will and can continue to defy the odds, the history, the challenges and many people\u2019s expectations.\n\nIf the international community makes the right choices, the Syrian people can hope for enduring security, justice, and opportunity.\n\nBut if we fail to fund the completion of the humanitarian mission and an effective transition to Syrian-led recovery and stability, today\u2019s gaps risk becoming tomorrow\u2019s irreversible crises.\n\nMy three asks: back the mission, fund the prioritized plan to remove remaining humanitarian needs.\n\nTwo, back the transition by rebuilding infrastructure, economic opportunity and hope.\n\nAnd three, stay the course.\n\nThank you, Mr. President.","country":[{"id":226,"name":"Syrian Arab Republic","shortname":"Syria","iso3":"syr","location":{"lat":35.01,"lon":38.51},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T16:19:30+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212275","score":1,"fields":{"title":"WFP Armenia Country Brief, May 2026","body":"USD 2.75 M required in the next six months (May \u2013 Oct 2026)\n\n**KEY HIGHLIGHTS**\n\n\u2022 WFP continues to support the Government of Armenia and partners in efforts to eradicate food insecurity and malnutrition.  \nPartner support is essential to reinforce Armenia\u2019s emergency preparedness and response capacities, ensuring the country can withstand humanitarian shocks, including a potential refugee influx.\n\n\u2022 WFP is strengthening school-based agriculture and resilience systems by equipping schools with production and storage infrastructure and investing in solar energy to sustain school feeding.\n\n\u2022 The 2026 Food Security and Vulnerability Assessment was successfully completed, indicating a decrease in food insecurity from 20 percent to 17 percent and a decline in the proportion of marginally food secure households from 54 percent to 49 percent.","country":[{"id":23,"name":"Armenia","shortname":"Armenia","iso3":"arm","location":{"lat":40.61,"lon":44.66},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"World Food Programme"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T14:36:00+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212274","score":1,"fields":{"title":"\u00c1frica Occidental y Central impulsa una mayor financiaci\u00f3n clim\u00e1tica ante el aumento de las presiones sobre la movilidad","body":"**Lagos\/Dakar, 15 de mayo de 2026** \u2013 Dirigentes de \u00c1frica Occidental y Central est\u00e1n pidiendo un aumento de la financiaci\u00f3n para ayudar a las comunidades a hacer frente al cambio clim\u00e1tico, a medida que las inundaciones, las sequ\u00edas y la degradaci\u00f3n medioambiental obligan a un n\u00famero cada vez mayor de personas a abandonar sus hogares, transformando los patrones migratorios y los desplazamientos en toda la regi\u00f3n.\n\n\"El cambio clim\u00e1tico ya est\u00e1 afectando d\u00f3nde y c\u00f3mo vive la gente.

The analysis shows that nearly 135,000 people are facing Catastrophic food insecurity (IPC Phase 5) across 14 hotspots in Darfur, South Darfur, and South Kordofan are at risk of famine in the coming months. More than five million people are classified under IPC Phase 4 (Emergency) and a further 14 million people are in IPC Phase 3 (Crisis). Conditions are expected to deteriorate further during the lean season between June and September.\n\nAs the civil conflict enters its fourth year, the protracted hunger crisis in Sudan shows little sign of abating as violence, displacement and severe humanitarian access constraints are impacting children, families and communities across the country.\n\nSudan is also facing a severe nutrition crisis. An estimated 825,000 children under five are expected to suffer from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) in 2026, a seven percent increase compared to 2025 and 25 percent higher than pre-conflict levels recorded between 2021 and 2023. Between January and March this year alone, almost 100,000 children were admitted for treatment for severe acute malnutrition \u2013 which can lead to deaths if not treated urgently.\n\nUm Baru and Kernoi localities recorded critical levels of malnutrition in December 2025. Acute malnutrition is expected to remain at extremely high levels in these localities with additional areas at risk of deteriorating, particularly in besieged areas and among internally displaced populations.\n\nConflict-driven displacement remains at extremely high levels, with close to nine million people uprooted within Sudan as of the end of March 2026. Many families remain trapped in active conflict zones or have sought refuge in remote areas with little or no access to humanitarian assistance or basic services.\n\nThe destruction of civilian infrastructure \u2013 including markets, health facilities, water systems, and agricultural assets \u2013 has severely constrained food production and access to essential services. Around 40 per cent of health facilities are non-functional, while an estimated 17 million people lack access to safe drinking water, and 24 million people lack access to adequate sanitation.\n\nRepeated outbreaks of cholera, measles, malaria, dengue, hepatitis, diphtheria, and diarrheal diseases are further accelerating nutritional deterioration, especially among young children and pregnant and breastfeeding women.\n\nHumanitarian access constraints remain among the most severe in the world. Insecurity, bureaucratic impediments, attacks along supply routes, destruction of markets and means of production as well as restrictions on the movement of people and goods continue to prevent humanitarian actors from delivering assistance at the scale required.\n\nOnly 20 percent of Sudan\u2019s 2026 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan had been funded as of April 2026. Humanitarian assistance remains critically inadequate compared to the scale of needs. Between February and May, humanitarian partners aimed to reach 4.8 million people per month. However, only an estimated 3.13 million people received assistance in February.\n\nFAO, WFP, and UNICEF call for an immediate cessation of hostilities, for parties to the conflict to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure, and provide safe, rapid and unimpeded humanitarian access across conflict-affected areas. The agencies also urge the international community to urgently scale up funding for food, emergency food production, nutrition, health, and water and sanitation services, as well as support for actions to rebuild livelihoods.\n\n\u201cTo prevent further loss of life and starvation, we must urgently scale up emergency agricultural assistance to boost local food production,\u201d said QU Dongyu, FAO Director-General. \u201cSupporting vulnerable farming families with seeds, tools, and inputs is one of the fastest and most effective ways to restore access to nutritious food and reduce dependence on aid. Humanitarian access and funding for these life-saving agricultural interventions must improve immediately and at scale.\u201d\n\n\u201cFamine continues to threaten the people of Sudan, as hunger and malnutrition are threatening millions of lives right now,\u201d said WFP Executive Director, Cindy McCain. \u201cWFP has been on the ground responding and is ready to do more, but humanitarian agencies cannot solve this alone. The international community must move now with funding, access and the political will to stop this crisis from becoming an even greater tragedy.\u201d\n\n\u201cAcross Sudan, children are trapped in a crisis of relentless violence, hunger and disease,\u201d said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell. \u201cMany families have been displaced multiple times. Children suffering from severe acute malnutrition arrive at overstretched facilities too weak to cry.

In Deir ez-Zor, the progressive return of populations, amid evolving governance dynamics, is placing growing pressure on already fragile services and livelihoods. Returnee, displaced, and host communities continue to face damaged shelters, limited access to safe water, and disrupted agricultural livelihoods. In response, and with support from the Centre de Crise et de Soutien (CDCS), Acted is implementing a 12-month early recovery project to restore essential services, support dignified housing, and revitalize agricultural value chains. Through an integrated area-based approach, the project aims to strengthen local resilience, reduce vulnerability, and support sustainable return dynamics in one of Syria\u2019s key rural recovery areas.**\n\nAs families continue to return to Deir ez-Zor, pressure on basic services, housing, and livelihood systems remains high. In Basira sub-district, years of conflict, infrastructure degradation, economic decline, and climate-related water scarcity have weakened communities\u2019 ability to recover. Agriculture, once a backbone of the local economy, has been particularly affected by damaged irrigation infrastructure, high input costs, limited market access, and reduced water availability.\n\nTo respond to these interconnected needs, Acted is implementing a multi-sectoral early recovery intervention from October 2025 to October 2026. The project combines shelter rehabilitation, water infrastructure restoration, and agricultural livelihoods support, contributing to improved living conditions and longer-term resilience for returnees, internally displaced persons, and vulnerable host communities.\n\n## **Rebuilding essential services in return areas**\n\nSafe housing and reliable water services are essential foundations for sustainable return. Under the project, Acted is rehabilitating 70 lightly or moderately damaged shelters, helping conflict-affected households regain safer and more dignified living conditions.\n\nIn parallel, Acted is rehabilitating Sabha water station, a critical water asset serving approximately 12,500 people in Basira sub-district. The works support a shift away from costly and short-term water trucking towards more sustainable, locally managed water services, and include repairs\/replacement of pumps, valves, pipes, electrical components, and other key systems, including the integration of sustainability measures.\n\n## **Restoring shelter and safe water access**\n\nAgriculture remains central to livelihoods and food security in Basira. However, farmers and agricultural businesses continue to face major constraints, including water scarcity, damaged irrigation systems, limited technical support, and weak market linkages.\n\nTo address these challenges, Acted is applying a \u2018market systems approach\u2019, supporting producers, agricultural businesses, and communal farming structures together. The project provides tailored financial and technical support to 235 micro, small, and medium agricultural businesses working across key local value chains, including vegetable production, livestock, dairy processing, poultry, fodder processing, beekeeping, fish farming, and seedling production. Selected businesses receive training, grants, and follow-up support to strengthen production, business management, and climate-smart agricultural practices \u2013 ultimately bolstering resilience and protecting livelihoods.\n\n## **Revitalizing agricultural value chains**\n\nAccess to irrigation water is one of the most urgent barriers to agricultural recovery in Basira. To support farmers\u2019 ability to restore production, Acted is rehabilitating six irrigation pumping stations serving local farmers\u2019 associations, with the works expected to improve access to irrigation water for at least 300 farmers \u2013 benefiting approximately 1,500 people. Rehabilitation works include repairs and installation of pump sets, control panels, transformers, piping systems, water distribution components, and other essential infrastructure. This support is closely linked to the wider agricultural livelihoods package, ensuring that individual businesses and shared productive infrastructure are strengthened together.\n\n## **Improving irrigation for farming communities**\n\nIn the absence of formal agricultural extension services, farmers\u2019 associations play an important role in supporting producers, managing shared resources, and transferring knowledge within communities. Through the project, Acted is supporting six farmers\u2019 associations with capacity building and material support.\n\nTraining focuses on topics such as association governance, financial and resource management, operational planning, water management, modern irrigation techniques, and climate-adaptive agricultural practices. Based on training needs assessments conducted during the first phase of the project, Acted also identified equipment needs to help associations better manage services and support farmers beyond the project period.\n\nThis approach aims to reinforce local ownership and ensure that rehabilitated infrastructure and agricultural support continue to benefit communities after the project ends.\n\n## **Strengthening local agricultural systems**\n\nWith CDCS support, Acted\u2019s intervention in Basira sub-district brings together shelter, WASH, and livelihoods support to address the interconnected barriers facing returnee, displaced, and host communities in Deir ez-Zor. By restoring basic services, supporting agricultural businesses, rehabilitating irrigation infrastructure, and strengthening farmers\u2019 associations, the project contributes to more sustainable rural recovery and locally led resilience \u2013 ultimately strengthening the foundations for durable recovery in northeast Syria.","country":[{"id":226,"name":"Syrian Arab Republic","shortname":"Syria","iso3":"syr","location":{"lat":35.01,"lon":38.51},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T13:36:19+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212263","score":1,"fields":{"title":"IRC warns Somalia is on the brink of catastrophe as new IPC projections signal renewed famine risk | The IRC","body":"- The price of essential household commodities has continued to rise, placing additional pressure on families already struggling with drought and hunger.

Between 2020 and 2023, delayed action, repeated climate shocks, conflict, and insufficient funding pushed Somalia to the brink of famine and cost countless lives. The warning signs are once again flashing red.\n\n\u201cWhat makes this moment even more dangerous is that humanitarian organizations are trying to respond amid historic global funding cuts and rising operational costs. Families are facing rising food prices, rising fuel costs, and soaring fertilizer prices at the exact moment they need support the most. Humanitarian agencies are simultaneously being forced to scale back services because funding is collapsing.\n\n\u201cThis is a crisis of access, affordability, and global political failure. Without urgent action now, Somalia risks becoming one of the clearest examples of what happens when early warnings are ignored and humanitarian systems are allowed to erode.\u201d\n\nAt the same time, Somalia is facing mounting economic pressures that are pushing essential commodities further out of reach for vulnerable households. Recent market monitoring shows significant increases in the price of staple foods and agricultural inputs linked to regional instability and global supply chain disruptions. Fertilizer prices have risen sharply, while the cost of sugar, rice, flour, cooking oil, and milk have all increased in recent weeks, compounding pressure on farming communities already facing failed rains and poor harvest prospects. Fuel prices also remain significantly above pre-crisis levels, driving up the cost of transporting food, water, medical supplies, and humanitarian assistance across Somalia.\n\nSomalia is currently facing one of the world\u2019s most severe hunger crises, with millions of people experiencing acute food insecurity and rising levels of acute malnutrition among children. Aid agencies warn that funding shortfalls have been forcing major reductions in humanitarian operations across the country at a time when needs are accelerating. The IRC is already implementing [**simplified** ](https:\/\/www.rescue.org\/eu\/report\/simplified-combined-protocol-evidence-overview)approaches to combine treatment of severe and moderate acute malnutrition in Somalia, which streamlines treatment and allows more children to be reached quickly and effectively. At a time of rising needs and shrinking resources, this approach is needed now more than ever.\n\nThe IRC is calling for an immediate scale-up in humanitarian funding to prevent famine conditions from emerging, alongside urgent support for nutrition, health, water, sanitation, and cash assistance programs across affected communities. IRC is also urging greater investment in climate adaptation and drought resilience for farming households, as well as coordinated international action to stabilize supply chains and reduce the rising fuel, food, and fertilizer costs that are pushing essential goods further out of reach. Above all, the IRC is calling for sustained global attention and early action to ensure Somalia does not once again descend into a preventable catastrophe.\n\nThe IRC continues to provide emergency health, nutrition, water, sanitation, and protection services to vulnerable communities across Somalia.","country":[{"id":216,"name":"Somalia","shortname":"Somalia","iso3":"som","location":{"lat":5.79,"lon":47.33},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"International Rescue Committee"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T13:33:16+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212262","score":1,"fields":{"title":"L'Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre plaide pour un renforcement du financement climatique face \u00e0 l'intensification des pressions migratoires","body":"Des experts du climat et des partenaires r\u00e9gionaux se r\u00e9unissent \u00e0 Lagos, au Nig\u00e9ria, pour d\u00e9battre de la mobilit\u00e9 climatique, de la r\u00e9silience et des solutions de financement pour l'Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre.

Under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement, developed countries have an obligation to provide assistance to developing countries to respond to climate change. The delivery of this international climate finance was no frivolous promise, but one that was endorsed by practically all governments of the world and reconfirmed time and again in successive global climate negotiations as well as the 2025 Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice, which confirms that developed countries have a legal obligation to provide sufficient climate finance. Climate finance is not only a matter of climate justice but also critical for enabling vulnerable countries to implement their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and other climate plans. Despite these commitments, progress in the delivery of climate finance has been fragmented. At the international level, climate finance flows have been insufficient to meet developing countries\u2019 needs and are made up primarily of loans that countries will eventually have to pay back. Climate finance is also often inaccessible, top-down and misaligned with local realities. At the national level, governments often fail to engage society meaningfully in the development and implementation of climate plans while, at the local level, civil society actors \u2013 particularly the most marginalized \u2013 may be excluded from decision-making, planning and budgeting processes, as well as from the benefits climate finance is intended to deliver. As climate impacts escalate, it is essential to ensure that climate finance is sufficient, accessible and participatory, and reaches the local level. Civil society actors play a vital role in this, by shaping, implementing, monitoring and evaluating climate projects, plans and budgets, including NDCs. Drawing on 21 studies across the Global South (see Annex), this report examines how climate finance is delivered and governed at regional, national and local levels. It identifies common challenges and opportunities, highlights good practices to influence civil society, and offers recommendations to improve the accessibility, equity and accountability of climate finance.\n\nKey findings\n\nAmbiguity and over-reporting must be addressed. Climate finance is notoriously difficult to quantify due to varying definitions and ambiguous reporting rules, giving providers significant discretion over what counts as climate finance. Studies have shown that providers use reporting practices that overstate the actual level of climate finance, relying on generous assumptions about the climate relevance of projects and the way different financial instruments are valued. Most climate finance is delivered through loans rather than grants, increasing debt burdens in low-income countries, and these loans are counted at their face value without considering the actual financial effort of providers or repayment obligations. Oxfam\u2019s Climate-Specific Net Assistance (CSNA) seeks to provide a more accurate reflection of the actual financial effort made by provider countries in support of climate-specific action in developing countries. This approach accounts for both the climate relevance of reported finance and the grant-equivalent value of the instruments used, and indicates that the actual financial effort by developed countries to support climate action in developing countries is vastly lower than the officially reported figures seem to suggest.","country":[{"id":254,"name":"World","shortname":"World","iso3":"wld","primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"Oxfam"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T13:33:07+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212259","score":1,"fields":{"title":"WFP El Salvador April 2026 Country Brief","body":"**KEY HIGHLIGHTS**\n\n\u2022 Anticipating El Ni\u00f1o impacts, WFP is working closely with government and partners to protect rural livelihoods, as erratic rainfall and the potential for drought threaten crop production, incomes, and food access by mid-year.\n\n\u2022 In line with the Government\u2019s priority to advance education outcomes and child nutrition, WFP works closely with the Ministry of Education and key partners to strengthen and further develop the national School Feeding Programme.\n\n\u2022 Predictable, flexible contributions help WFP stay ahead of shocks and prevent harmful coping strategies.","country":[{"id":83,"name":"El Salvador","shortname":"El Salvador","iso3":"slv","location":{"lat":13.74,"lon":-88.87},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"World Food Programme"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T13:26:47+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212258","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Mali: GSIM must observe international humanitarian law and ensure safety of civilians as Bamako is under siege","body":"**The ongoing siege of Bamako is having unacceptable consequences for civilians\u2019 freedom of movement and may lead to serious violations of their rights to food security, health and life, Amnesty International said today, as it called on the Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims (GSIM) armed group to respect international humanitarian law and ensure the safety of civilians.**\n\nThree main roads leading to Bamako have been blocked since 28 April, after GSIM, a non-state armed group affiliated with al-Qaeda, announced a siege of the Malian capital. On 6 May, GSIM attacked a convoy of trucks carrying cargo belonging to civilian companies, including fruit, between Bamako and Bougouni. These trucks were not under military escort and were not carrying military personnel or equipment, according to information gathered by Amnesty International.\n\n\u201cAttacks on civilian vehicles with a civilian purpose are unlawful. Under international humanitarian law, all parties to an armed conflict must always make a distinction between civilians and combatants. Attacks directed against civilians or civilian objects, including vehicles and infrastructure indispensable to the survival of the civilian population, are prohibited\u201d said Marceau Sivieude, Amnesty International\u2019s Regional Director for West and Central Africa.\n\n## **A siege against the rules of war**\n\nOn 28 April, a GSIM spokesperson announced in an online video a siege of Bamako, starting that day. In contrast to the siege announced in September 2025, when fuel trucks supplying Bamako were exclusively targeted, the current siege appears to apply to all trucks going into the capital.\n\nAs of 15 May, at least three of the six main roads leading to Bamako and connecting it to regional ports were disrupted by attacks against incoming traffic, cutting off the capital from vital routes for the movement of goods and the supply of provisions to residents. The media and residents Amnesty International spoke to reported on rising prices for certain basic necessities.\n\n\u201cSieges should not violate the economic and social rights of the civilian population. GSIM must respect the rules of international humanitarian law. They must ensure that the civilian population of Bamako still has access to adequate water, food, and other necessities,\u201d said Marceau Sivieude.\n\nOn 5 May, the UN\u2019s OHCHR [**called for**](https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/en\/press-briefing-notes\/2026\/05\/mali-civilians-impacted-amid-clashes) an immediate end to the fighting and urged all parties to uphold international humanitarian law and international human rights law, including by ensuring protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure.\n\nOn 6 May, GSIM announced an easing of the siege and said that people seeking healthcare would be allowed to travel to Bamako. Amnesty International has not been able to verify whether this announcement is being implemented.\n\n## **Unlawful and deadly attack by GSIM on convoy reported by survivor**\n\nAmnesty International spoke with the driver of a fuel truck that was targeted during GSIM\u2019s previous siege on Bamako. In September 2025, GSIM announced its intention to block and disrupt all fuel supply towards Bamako from regional ports and attacked several incoming trucks from Dakar on the Kayes-Bamako Road. In November, GSIM announced that fuel truck drivers would be targeted and considered as combatants.\n\nOn 29 January 2026, the driver was part of a fuel truck convoy under military escort that was attacked between Diboli and Kayes. Several drivers and their driver apprentices caught while fleeing were executed, according to the driver. \u201c*Twenty kilometres from Diboli, we were attacked by jihadists on motorcycles who shot at the convoy. There were more than two hundred of them,\u201d* the driver told Amnesty International on condition of anonymity.\n\n*\u201cAfter the attack, three military pickup trucks arrived as reinforcements and the soldiers on board were killed by the jihadists, who then set the pickup trucks on fire.* *At least 12 drivers and apprentices were captured by the jihadists and held until the following day. They made them dig graves for the few jihadists who died in the ambush and then slit their throats.\u201d*\n\n\u201cInternational humanitarian law must be respected by all parties to the conflict. Amnesty International calls on GSIM to immediately cease all attacks targeting civilians, including indiscriminate attacks. We are calling on the Malian authorities to investigate these abuses as potential war crimes.

In Kati, defence minister Sadio Camara was killed along with several members of his family, after his home was targeted by a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device.\n\nOn 6 May, GSIM assailants attacked the villages of Kori Kori and Gomassagou, in Central Mali, causing \u2018several losses in human life and property\u2019 according to regional authorities, leaving at least 40 people dead and several persons unaccounted for, according to local sources contacted by Amnesty International.","country":[{"id":149,"name":"Mali","shortname":"Mali","iso3":"mli","location":{"lat":17.35,"lon":-1.25},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"Amnesty International"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T13:15:32+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212257","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Ukraine: Winter Response Snapshot (October 2025 \u2013 March 2026)","body":"*This snapshot presents an end-of-season overview of the response during the winter period, highlighting key results, operational challenges and priorities for the next winter cycle.*\n\n**In July 2025, as part of the** [**Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP)**](https:\/\/www.unocha.org\/publications\/report\/ukraine\/ukraine-humanitarian-needs-and-response-plan-2026-january-2026-enuk)**, the humanitarian community launched the** [**2025\u20132026 Winter Response Plan**](https:\/\/humanitarianaction.info\/document\/ukraine-winter-response-plan-october-2025-march-2026\/article\/ukraine-winter-response-plan-october-2025-march-2026) (**WRP**) **to support people across Ukraine during the cold season amid the ongoing war.** Now for the fourth consecutive year, the WRP has served as a seasonal prioritization within the broader humanitarian response, bringing together humanitarian partners to deliver coordinated, life-saving assistance focusing on winter-related needs. The WRP aimed to reach 1.7 million most vulnerable people, particularly those near the front line and communities hosting displaced people, while complementing national and local response efforts.\n\n**The 2025\u20132026 winter was marked by unusually severe temperatures, intensified attacks on critical energy infrastructure and evolving targeting of electricity and gas infrastructure,** **which drove humanitarian needs beyond initial projections.** Strikes disrupted electricity, heating and water supply across the country, particularly in eastern and southern regions, as well as major cities\u2014Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa and Dnipro, affecting the daily lives of several million urban residents and severely disrupting essential household and public services. In several instances, these disruptions had cascading humanitarian consequences. Health facilities struggled to operate without stable power; water and sanitation services were interrupted, and essential services were reduced. Vulnerable groups, including older people, persons with disabilities and families with children, faced heightened risks and required further assistance as their coping capacities were eroded.\n\n**Despite these challenges, the 2025\u20132026 Winter Response Plan delivered targeted, multisectoral support reaching approximately** [**1.7 million**](https:\/\/app.powerbi.com\/view?r=eyJrIjoiNzM4ZDk2ZjctZTMzMS00NmVmLWJmYTAtODUxNDhkZjcxZWYxIiwidCI6IjBmOWUzNWRiLTU0NGYtNGY2MC1iZGNjLTVlYTQxNmU2ZGM3MCIsImMiOjh9) **affected people** across the four HNRP Strategic Priorities, combining water, sanitation and hygiene, shelter and non-food items, food and livelihood assistance, and health support, with protection risks addressed through a protection-sensitive approach. The response focused on the most vulnerable people near the front line, evacuees and displaced people, notably in collective sites. Among key results achieved under Strategic Priority 1, over 780,000 people received winter energy assistance and insulation support, primarily delivered through cash-based assistance complemented by in-kind assistance. Health partners supported over 220 health facilities with generators and fuel to sustain life-saving services during prolonged outages. Across Strategic Priorities 1\u20133, an estimated 1.17 million people were assisted through system-level support to district heating. Food and livelihood assistance prioritized high-severity southern oblasts, reaching people with livestock support and providing over 200,000 hot meals at so-called invincibility points during energy disruptions. This response helped vulnerable people stay safe and warm and sustained essential services, particularly in front-line areas, despite access constraints and operational disruptions.\n\n**In addition, the response had to scale up beyond initial plans and adapt to differing needs in urban and rural areas.** In urban centres, humanitarian partners worked alongside civil protection authorities and service providers, including the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SESU) and the Ukrainian Red Cross Society, to support large-scale utility systems and rapid emergency response. In rural and front-line areas, humanitarians more often delivered assistance directly to hard-to-reach communities. While the response mitigated the most acute impacts, needs linked to damage to energy infrastructure persist and are expected to continue beyond the winter period, including into the summer.\n\n**Cash assistance remained an important component of the response,** contributing to operational flexibility and supporting affected people\u2019s preferences. During the winter response, opportunities to expand cash programming\u2014particularly for heating (70 per cent of winter heating delivered in cash)\u2014were leveraged where feasible, while in-kind assistance continued to play a critical role in the provision of specific winter items and in contexts with operational constraints.\n\n**Funding levels and timing were key factors shaping the response.** The response benefited from strong overall funding, reaching around 72 per cent of requirements thanks to donors\u2019 support, in a challenging global environment. However, coverage varied across sectors and activities, with some areas or activities receiving significantly less support than others, limiting the ability to meet all planned needs. The timing of funding was also critical, with earlier allocations enabling more effective and timely delivery.\n\n**Looking ahead, continued risks related to energy disruptions are already extending into spring and summer 2026,** **with cascading impacts on water, wastewater and health systems, including risks of waterborne disease transmission, sanitation failures and water supply interruptions**. These risks underscore the importance of timely funding, practical coordination with national systems and a multi-season approach to preparedness efforts, recognizing that large-scale energy infrastructure restoration remains primarily a government-led responsibility, going beyond humanitarian remit, eventually complemented by targeted humanitarian support.\n\n**As the war continues, preparations for the next winter are already underway.** Humanitarian partners are drawing on lessons from this particularly harsh winter to inform planning, strengthen early preparedness measures and support national and local systems to better anticipate and respond to seasonal risks.","country":[{"id":241,"name":"Ukraine","shortname":"Ukraine","iso3":"ukr","location":{"lat":49.32,"lon":31.32},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T13:06:34+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212255","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Lebanon: Protection Snapshot: Displacement Post-Escalation (16 Apr - 08 May 2026)","body":"*The Protection Sector Emergency Snapshot is produced by the Protection Analysis and Monitoring Task Force (PAMTF), drawing on information and secondary data from sector lead agencies in the context of the ongoing escalation of conflict and displacement.

Whilst this report focuses on how the violence perpetrated during the genocide has affected the Palestinian population, it pays special attention to its consequences for the lives and bodies of women and girls, and less comprehensively, to its repercussions for men and boys. The analysis is structured around four thematic areas: 1) the violation of the right to Palestinian lives, highlighting the unprecedented deadliness of Israeli attacks, particularly against women, girls and boys; 2) the consequences of these conditions for the physical and mental health of Palestinian women and girls, with special attention paid to Israel\u2019s use of reproductive violence; 3) the consequences arising from Israel\u2019s use of sexual and genderbased violence as a mechanism of torture and intimidation against prisoners and the Palestinian population more broadly; and 4) the repercussions of other invisibilised forms of violence during the genocide, such as those related to forced displacement, movement restrictions, the severe deterioration of the economic situation and gender-based violence in the domestic\/family sphere. The research focuses on Gaza and the West Bank, and reaffirms the arguments of the many people warning about the genocide against the Palestinian population and the risks of its normalisation. The persistence of Israeli policies and practices as part of its settler colonial project does not merely threaten the survival and rights of the Palestinian population, as impunity for genocide, apartheid and occupation also pose a risk and set a dangerous precedent for all humanity.\n\nThis publication is available in [Catalan](https:\/\/escolapau.uab.cat\/img\/programas\/alerta\/informes\/Violencias_Palestine_CAT.pdf), [Spanish](https:\/\/escolapau.uab.cat\/img\/programas\/alerta\/informes\/Violencias_Palestine_CAST.pdf) and [English](https:\/\/escolapau.uab.cat\/img\/programas\/alerta\/informes\/Violencias_Palestine_ENG.pdf).","country":[{"id":180,"name":"occupied Palestinian territory","shortname":"oPt","iso3":"pse","location":{"lat":31.9522,"lon":35.2332},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"Escola de Cultura de Pau"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T12:27:03+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212251","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Against the Current: Three Years of Rescuing People in the Mediterranean","body":"The Mediterranean remains one of the world\u2019s most lethal migration corridors and the site of an unrecognised humanitarian crisis. The people attempting to cross the sea are driven by a convergence of compounding pressures: armed conflict, persecution, human rights violations, climate-related displacement, economic fragility and the desire to seek better living conditions.\n\nWhile these dynamics are not new, their range and complexity continue to evolve and deepen, shaped by geopolitical developments and wars, hardening policy responses and the accelerating effects of climate change on fragile regions. Despite the scale of human suffering involved, this crisis is yet to receive formal recognition, leaving those affected without the fundamental protections or the coordinated response mechanisms that such a designation would trigger. Departure points shift and routes adapt, forcing people on the move into increasingly dangerous circumstances with fewer legal and safe pathways available, and a growing dependence on smuggling networks, while obstacles to search and rescue only increase.\n\nDeclining annual arrivals across the Mediterranean \u2013 from 275,200 arrivals in 2023 to 199,400 in 2024 and 155,100 in 2025,2 \u2013 might suggest that the continent\u2019s ongoing border externalisation policies are achieving their intended effect. The situation in the Central Mediterranean reveals a more complex story. The corridor connecting North Africa to the Italian coast registered 66,316 arrivals in 2025, representing more than 40% of all sea arrivals into the European Union (EU), a change of just 1% compared to 2024 (66,617 arrivals).\n\nAmong them, the proportion of children travelling alone is significant and deeply concerning; approximately one in every six of those arriving.4 The year on year stability of arrivals reflects the structural rather than circumstantial nature of Central Mediterranean migration.\n\nThe Central Mediterranean route is characterised by long and costly journeys, with Libya and Tunisia serving as the primary departure points \u2013 often involving repeated sea crossing attempts. The situation in Libya is crucial to understanding the dynamics in the Central Mediterranean.  \nDespite years of EU-funded cooperation with Libyan authorities to strengthen maritime surveillance, border control and migration management, over 90% of people who crossed the Central Mediterranean in 2025 departed from Libya. 5 The conditions facing people on the move in Libya are amounting to crimes against humanity and are well-documented.6 Therefore,  \nLibya\u2019s persistence as the primary departure country is not simply a migration statistic; it reflects the ongoing exposure of tens of thousands of people to serious human rights risks before they even reach the water.\n\nThe human cost at sea remains devastating. In 2025,  \nInternational Organisation for Migration (IOM) recorded 2,185 people dead or missing across the Mediterranean, with 1,330 of these casualties occurring on the Central Mediterranean route alone \u2013 making this path the deadliest migration route to Europe.7 These figures, already stark, are widely regarded as an underestimate.  \nThe true toll is almost certainly higher due to the invisible shipwrecks occurring along the Mediterranean routes.","country":[{"id":254,"name":"World","shortname":"World","iso3":"wld","primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"EMERGENCY"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T12:06:34+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212250","score":1,"fields":{"title":"\u0413\u0443\u043c\u0430\u043d\u0456\u0442\u0430\u0440\u043d\u0430 \u0441\u0438\u0442\u0443\u0430\u0446\u0456\u044f \u0432 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0456: \u043e\u043d\u043e\u0432\u043b\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u043e\u043f\u0435\u0440\u0430\u0442\u0438\u0432\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0440\u0435\u0430\u0433\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0423\u0412\u041a\u0411 \u041e\u041e\u041d. 12 \u0442\u0440\u0430\u0432\u043d\u044f 2026 \u0440.","country":[{"id":241,"name":"Ukraine","shortname":"Ukraine","iso3":"ukr","location":{"lat":49.32,"lon":31.32},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"UN High Commissioner for Refugees"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T12:03:11+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212247","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Statement by Commissioner Lahbib on US humanitarian funding commitment","body":"European Commission - Statement Statement by Commissioner Lahbib on US humanitarian funding commitment\n\nBrussels, 15 May 2026\n\nI welcome the humanitarian funding commitment announced by the United States.

The way forward is clear: ensure continued international responsibility-sharing and defend the importance of principled humanitarian action based on humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence. Strong coordination among donors and humanitarian actors remains critical to maximise impact and ensure aid reaches those most in need, no matter who they are, where they are and what they believe in.

Thank you, and good morning.\n\nGood morning and thank you for being here today.\n\nThe latest IPC analysis confirms what we are seeing every day on the ground: hunger in Sudan is not only widespread but also deepening.\n\nNearly 19.5 million people are now facing crisis levels of hunger, with some already in catastrophic conditions, and multiple areas at risk of famine in the coming months. Famine has been stalking families in Sudan for far too long and sadly, the suffering shows no signs of abating.\n\nThis is not a sudden shock. It is a crisis \u2013 now in its fourth year - driven by relentless conflict, mass displacement, and the systematic erosion of people\u2019s ability to feed themselves. Families have exhausted every coping mechanism. Markets have collapsed. Agricultural production is severely disrupted. And access to food is increasingly out of reach.\n\nAt the same time, humanitarian operations are simply unable to match the scale of needs. Insecurity, bureaucratic impediments, and attacks on supply routes are preventing aid from reaching millions who urgently need it.\n\nFor WFP, the priority is clear: we must scale up food assistance now, ahead of the lean season, when conditions are expected to deteriorate further. WFP has been on the ground responding and is ready to do more.\n\nBut we cannot do this alone.

According to the [World Health Organisation (WHO), more than 70,000 cases of ectoparasite](https:\/\/palestine.un.org\/en\/314536-more-70000-cases-ectoparasitic-infestations-shortages-hygiene-supplies-exacerbate-challenges?utm_source=chatgpt.com) infections and rodent-borne illness have been reported in Gaza since the start of 2026 alone.\n\nWe publish the following Interview with one of Caritas Jerusalem\u2019s staff working on the ground in Gaza, the doctor wishes to remain anonymous for security reasons.\n\n## **Doctor, can you take us back to the moment you first saw a rodent bite case in Gaza? When was it, and what was the patient\u2019s condition?**\n\nA colleague of mine, one of the best ones we have in our team, called me at midnight 45 days ago to ask what we needed to do for his brother, who had been bitten by a rat. The bite was on the index finger of his left hand. His brother, a 35-year-old, lives in a partially destroyed building surrounded by piles of rubble and solid waste. He was bitten by a rat while asleep. I told him to wash the bite thoroughly with soap and water, rinse away all soap, apply gauze to press the area, and go to the health centre. There, the doctor cleaned the bite, applied an antibiotic ointment, administered a tetanus immunisation, and prescribed oral antibiotics. The patient was advised to return if any symptoms develop.\n\n## **How frequently are you currently seeing rodent bite cases at your facility? Has the rate increased significantly in recent months?**\n\nI regularly see and hear rats, among garbage and sewage, all around my house at night. Caritas health facilities open in the morning, while the rodents hide in the home\u2019s rubble. At night, the rodents run in the streets and between tents. People who are bitten seek medical help at the emergency department of an open hospital. The rate has increased significantly in recent months; the World Health Organisation reported in mid-April 2026 more than 70,000 cases of infections linked to rodents and external parasites among displaced people in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the year, amid worsening health and humanitarian conditions. A key informant working at the hospital said, \u201cAbout 10 cases of bitten patients visit the emergency department every night.\u201d\n\n## **What treatments are available to you on the ground for patients who have been bitten? Given the severe shortage of medical supplies in Gaza, are you able to properly manage infections, rabies exposure protocols, or diseases like leptospirosis that rodents can transmit?**\n\nTreatment on the ground includes cleaning, local and systemic antibiotics, dressings, tetanus vaccine, and tetanus immune globulin, and follow-up. There is a 50% shortage of consumables, and the essential drug list that includes antibiotics. We can treat uncomplicated bites, but we find it difficult to diagnose and treat rodent-borne infections. No anti-rabies serum or rabies vaccine is available in Gaza; there is a severe shortage of laboratory equipment and reagents for diagnosing rat-borne infectious diseases. The doctors rely on clinical findings and clinical judgment. Regarding snakebite and scorpion bite, antivenom serum is available, but it is not specific. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) equipment is very important for diagnosing microbial diseases, especially viral infections, but it is unavailable in the Gaza Strip. Consequently, we find it difficult to diagnose rodent infections such as leptospirosis and hantavirus fever.\n\n## **Beyond the bite itself, what are the greatest health risks that a large-scale rodent infestation poses to the civilian population, and are you already seeing signs of rodent-borne disease outbreaks spreading through displacement camps or shelters?**\n\nRodents are chewing through tents and contaminating food supplies, with few safe storage facilities. Families and children are too afraid to sleep at night for fear of being bitten by rats. Doctors provide provisional diagnoses of rat-borne infectious diseases such as hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, leptospirosis, and rickettsial infections. However, they can\u2019t confirm the diagnoses due to a lack of lab kits and PCR equipment.\n\n## **As a doctor working in these conditions, what are the most urgent and concrete measures that need to be implemented by humanitarian organisations and the international community to prevent this infestation from escalating?**\n\nEnhance environmental sanitation by removing rubble, disposing of solid waste, renovating the sewage system, providing municipal and drinking water, and supplying affordable rodenticides and pesticides. Trap mice and rats in the home. Clean and disinfect the home thoroughly. Seal all potential entry holes.\n\n## **What is your personal hope for Gaza in the future?**\n\nAbove all, I hope for a strict ceasefire and peace to prevail. Once the guns fall silent, the work of removing the rubble, clearing the roads, and launching the long-term reconstruction that Gaza so urgently needs. That reconstruction must include a serious commitment to environmental protection \u2014 finding sustainable solutions for solid waste through recycling or incineration, rebuilding the sewage network, establishing a desalination plant to bring safe drinking water to all of Gaza, and eradicating rodents and pests through pesticides, rodenticides, and traps.\n\n**Alongside that, Gaza needs a true reform of its health system.** This means building the capacity of staff, increasing the number and quality of healthcare workers across all specialities, and renovating and reconstructing the health facilities that have been destroyed. Operating room capacity must be expanded. Laboratories must be rebuilt \u2014 damaged equipment replaced, lab kits provided, and pathology labs made functional again. A PCR machine must be acquired. Radiology departments must be restored, and a radiotherapy department established. None of this is optional; these are the foundations of a functional healthcare system, without which preventable deaths will continue.\n\nAnd finally \u2014 perhaps most of all \u2014 I hope for the restoration of education and the resilience of Gaza\u2019s youth. They are the future, and they deserve one.\n\n*Interview collected by Caritas Jerusalem staff*\n\n*Press contact: Susan Dabbous, Caritas Internationalis Editorial and Media Officer*\n\nThe post [Caritas doctor in Gaza speaks out on a mounting rodent health crisis](https:\/\/www.caritas.org\/gaza\/emergency\/caritas-doctor-in-gaza-speaks-out-on-a-mounting-rodent-health-crisis\/) appeared first on [Caritas](https:\/\/www.caritas.org).","country":[{"id":180,"name":"occupied Palestinian territory","shortname":"oPt","iso3":"pse","location":{"lat":31.9522,"lon":35.2332},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"Caritas"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T08:33:07+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212205","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Joint News Release WFP\/FAO\/UNICEF: Risk of Famine persists as nearly 19.5 million people face acute food insecurity in Sudan","body":"*Conflict, displacement and restricted humanitarian access leave more than 825,000 children at risk of death from severe malnutrition in 2026*\n\nROME\/NEW YORK\/PORT SUDAN, 15 May 2026 \u2013 The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the World Food Programme (WFP) and UNICEF warned today that nearly 19.5 million people \u2013 two out of every five people in Sudan - are currently facing crisis levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above) across Sudan, according to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis.\n\nAlthough the latest IPC analysis did not identify areas currently experiencing Famine (IPC Phase 5), conditions remain extremely concerning. The analysis shows that nearly 135,000 people are facing Catastrophic food insecurity (IPC Phase 5) across 14 hotspots in Darfur, South Darfur, and South Kordofan are at risk of famine in the coming months. More than five million people are classified under IPC Phase 4 (Emergency) and a further 14 million people are in IPC Phase 3 (Crisis). Conditions are expected to deteriorate further during the lean season between June and September.\n\nAs the civil conflict enters its fourth year, the protracted hunger crisis in Sudan shows little sign of abating as violence, displacement and severe humanitarian access constraints are impacting children, families and communities across the country.\n\nSudan is also facing a severe nutrition crisis. An estimated 825,000 children under five are expected to suffer from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) in 2026, a seven percent increase compared to 2025 and 25 percent higher than pre-conflict levels recorded between 2021 and 2023. Between January and March this year alone, almost 100,000 children were admitted for treatment for severe acute malnutrition \u2013 which can lead to deaths if not treated urgently.\n\nUm Baru and Kernoi localities recorded critical levels of malnutrition in December 2025. Acute malnutrition is expected to remain at extremely high levels in these localities with additional areas at risk of deteriorating, particularly in besieged areas and among internally displaced populations.\n\nConflict-driven displacement remains at extremely high levels, with close to nine million people uprooted within Sudan as of the end of March 2026. Many families remain trapped in active conflict zones or have sought refuge in remote areas with little or no access to humanitarian assistance or basic services.\n\nThe destruction of civilian infrastructure \u2013 including markets, health facilities, water systems, and agricultural assets \u2013 has severely constrained food production and access to essential services. Around 40 per cent of health facilities are non-functional, while an estimated 17 million people lack access to safe drinking water, and 24 million people lack access to adequate sanitation.\n\nRepeated outbreaks of cholera, measles, malaria, dengue, hepatitis, diphtheria, and diarrheal diseases are further accelerating nutritional deterioration, especially among young children and pregnant and breastfeeding women.\n\nHumanitarian access constraints remain among the most severe in the world. Insecurity, bureaucratic impediments, attacks along supply routes, destruction of markets and means of production as well as restrictions on the movement of people and goods continue to prevent humanitarian actors from delivering assistance at the scale required.\n\nOnly 20 percent of Sudan\u2019s 2026 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan had been funded as of April 2026. Humanitarian assistance remains critically inadequate compared to the scale of needs. Between February and May, humanitarian partners aimed to reach 4.8 million people per month. However, only an estimated 3.13 million people received assistance in February.\n\nFAO, WFP, and UNICEF call for an immediate cessation of hostilities, for parties to the conflict to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure, and provide safe, rapid and unimpeded humanitarian access across conflict-affected areas. The agencies also urge the international community to urgently scale up funding for food, emergency food production, nutrition, health, and water and sanitation services, as well as support for actions to rebuild livelihoods.\n\n\u201cTo prevent further loss of life and starvation, we must urgently scale up emergency agricultural assistance to boost local food production,\u201d said QU Dongyu, FAO Director-General. \u201cSupporting vulnerable farming families with seeds, tools, and inputs is one of the fastest and most effective ways to restore access to nutritious food and reduce dependence on aid. Humanitarian access and funding for these life-saving agricultural interventions must improve immediately and at scale.\u201d\n\n\u201cFamine continues to threaten the people of Sudan, as hunger and malnutrition are threatening millions of lives right now,\u201d said WFP Executive Director, Cindy McCain. \u201cWFP has been on the ground responding and is ready to do more, but humanitarian agencies cannot solve this alone. The international community must move now with funding, access and the political will to stop this crisis from becoming an even greater tragedy.\u201d\n\n\u201cAcross Sudan, children are trapped in a crisis of relentless violence, hunger and disease,\u201d said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell. \u201cMany families have been displaced multiple times. Children suffering from severe acute malnutrition arrive at overstretched facilities too weak to cry. Without urgent action and sustained humanitarian access, more children will die.\u201d\n\n\\# # #\n\n**About the World Food Programme (WFP)**\n\nThe United Nations World Food Programme is the world\u2019s largest humanitarian organization, saving lives in emergencies and using food assistance to build a pathway to peace, stability and prosperity for people recovering from conflict, disasters and the impact of climate change.\n\nFollow us on X, formerly Twitter, via @wfp\\_media\n\n[Sudan](https:\/\/www.wfp.org\/news?f%5B0%5D=country%3A2087) [Conflicts](https:\/\/www.wfp.org\/news?f%5B0%5D=topics%3A2194) [Emergencies](https:\/\/www.wfp.org\/news?f%5B0%5D=topics%3A2165) [Food security](https:\/\/www.wfp.org\/news?f%5B0%5D=topics%3A2168) [Funding](https:\/\/www.wfp.org\/news?f%5B0%5D=topics%3A2198) [Nutrition](https:\/\/www.wfp.org\/news?f%5B0%5D=topics%3A2174)Mohamed Elamin, WFP\/Sudan, Tel. +249 912 12 8974Azfar Deen, WFP\/ Nairobi, Mob. +39 345 846 6425Julian Miglierini, WFP\/ Rome, Mob. +39 348 2316793Martin Rentsch, WFP\/Berlin, Mob +49 160 99 26 17 30Shaza Moghraby, WFP\/New York, Mob. + 1 929 289 9867Rene McGuffin, WFP\/ Washington Mob. +1 771 245 4268Nicola Kelly, WFP\/London, Mob +44 (0)796 8008 474","country":[{"id":220,"name":"Sudan","shortname":"Sudan","iso3":"sdn","location":{"lat":15,"lon":30},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"World Food Programme"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T08:33:06+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212202","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Sri Lanka - Severe weather and floods (media, Department of Meteorology Sri Lanka) (ECHO Daily Flash of 15 May 2026)","body":"- Over the past few days, severe weather and flooding have been affecting Sri Lanka, causing fatalities, displacement and extensive damage.\n- Media reports dated 15 May indicate two deaths \u2013 one each in Batticaloa (Eastern Province) and Jaffna (Northern Province) \u2013 and the displacement of 1 310 people to eight temporary shelters.

Over 150,000 children face barriers to safe and continuous education due to insecurity, movement restrictions and damage to infrastructure. Access constraints and economic impediments are weakening already fragile systems which children rely on for survival and development.\n\n\u2022 **Deepening psychosocial and child protection needs**: Continuous exposure to militarised operations, other conflict-related violence including settler violence, displacement and intimidation is driving high levels of psychological distress among children, with partners reporting extreme fear, sleep disturbances, behaviour changes and other symptoms associated with anxiety and forms of traumatic stress. Needs for child protection and mental health and psychosocial support significantly exceed available services, especially in high-risk areas of the West Bank.\n\n\u2022 **Displacement, movement restrictions, and demolition-driven instability**: So far in 2026, two-thirds of displacement incidents linked to settler attacks and access restrictions occurred in the Jordan Valley, disproportionately affecting herding and rural communities. Approximately 12,000 children from three refugee camps in Jenin and Tulkarm governorates remain displaced for more than a year with no concrete prospect for return, while hundreds of homes in the camps have been demolished. Children across the West Bank face daily movement restrictions and coercive measures that disrupt their access to services, particularly Education. More than 220 households are at risk of displacement from pending eviction and demolition orders in Silwan neighbourhood in East Jerusalem. Demolitions, evictions and repeated settler attacks continue to uproot children from their homes, schools and services, deepening instability and distress.\n\n\u2022 **Grave violations, detention, and other conflict-related violence impacting children, primarily boys:** Between 1 January and 30 April 2026, 13 Palestinian children (13 boys) were killed and over 139 injured (126 boys, 13 girls) in the West Bank including East Jerusalem, with over one-third of injuries due to live ammunition during militarised operations and settler-related violence. Nearly 350 children from the West Bank are held in military detention, subject to violence, ill-treatment and harsh detention conditions; only 7 per cent have been convicted of any crime and half (49 per cent) are held under administrative detention orders, without charges or any trial. Since October 2023, violence against children has reached levels unseen in decades, marked by unprecedented killings, injuries, and arbitrary detention.\n\n### Impact on Children and Families\n\nChildren across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, are growing up in an environment shaped by unpredictable violence and constant insecurity. Militarised operations, detention, and settler violence expose children to direct, continuous violence and fear at home, at school and in their communities \u2013 spaces that should offer safety. Parents and communities are left with the feeling that their children cannot be protected.  \nDisplacement and movement restrictions have severely disrupted the daily lives of children and their families. When homes are demolished or communities forcibly displaced, families lose not only shelter and livelihoods but also access to education and health care. Parents report struggling to keep children in learning as routes to school become unsafe or schooling is repeatedly disrupted. In addition, economic pressure and loss of income force families to make   \nimpossible choices \u2013 cutting back on food, delaying medical care or withdrawing children from education so they can support households coping with daily survival.\n\nThe psychological toll on children and their families is profound. Repeated exposure to violence, raids and displacement is driving persistent distress. Caregivers report changes in behaviour, sleep disturbances and heightened fear, while adolescents face growing risks of school avoidance, withdrawal and harmful coping mechanisms. Without timely protection and mental health and psychosocial support, children may be at risk of lifelong difficulties with mental health and wellbeing.","country":[{"id":180,"name":"occupied Palestinian territory","shortname":"oPt","iso3":"pse","location":{"lat":31.9522,"lon":35.2332},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"UN Children's Fund"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T03:50:57+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212168","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Timor-Leste | Flood - Simplified Early Action Protocol Activation (sEAP \u2116: sEAP2024TL01 | Operation \u2116: MDRTL001), 12 May 2026","body":"**EARLY ACTION PROTOCOL ACTIVATION**\n\n**Activation Overview**\n\nThe Cruz Vermelha de Timor-Leste (CVTL) has activated its simplified Early Action Protocol for flood.\n\nModerate rainfall occurred two days from Sunday 10th to 12th of May 2026 in Dotic Village Manufahi Municipality.

These actions were implemented through interinstitutional coordination mechanisms and aligned with the national alert levels established under the National Coordinator for Disaster Reduction (CONRED), the National Response Plan and the Institutional Multi Hazard Response Plan (4).\n\nOn 2 January 2026, Guatemala was officially notified of a confirmed measles case involving a 24 year old male patient, of Salvadoran nationality and resident in El Salvador, with onset of rash on 24 December 2025 and laboratory confirmation reported on 30 December 2025 (2)(3). Epidemiological investigations identified the probable source of infection as participation in a large scale religious gathering attended by approximately 2,000 people from multiple countries in the region, including Mexico, the United States and Central America, as well as participants from all 22 departments of Guatemala (2).\n\nFollowing notification through the International Health Regulations mechanism and the National IHR Focal Point, the Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance activated its Immediate Response Teams and national surveillance and response protocols to prevent secondary transmission. Given the absence of sustained community transmission of measles in Guatemala since 1997, the confirmation of this first case triggered the declaration of an Institutional Red Alert, in accordance with the Sectoral Operational Response Protocol for Measles (2)(4).\n\nConfirmed cases and epidemiological risk have been identified in all 22 departments of Guatemala, reflecting both the geographic origin of participants in the mass gathering and the potential for secondary transmission. Departments identified as priority areas include Solol\u00e1, Guatemala, Pet\u00e9n, Izabal, Escuintla, Totonicap\u00e1n, Jalapa, Quetzaltenango and Baja Verapaz, encompassing urban, peri urban and rural contexts with varying levels of vaccination coverage and access to health services (1).\n\nOn 16 January a letter from MSPAS was sent to the Guatemalan Red Cross leadership requesting support for the vaccination campaigns in support of the MoH response as part of the institutional red alert.

On 8th January 2025, the Ministry of Health held a meeting to launch the 2025 National Response Plan to Control Cholera, requesting partners, including Angola Red Cross, to support with the planned response. By 28th June 2025, cases had increased to 27,008, with 759 deaths and a Case Fatality Rate of 2.8%. The situation improved, with a reduction of 47% in cases reported in the last week of June 2025 only in 10 provinces (out of 18 that reported cases at some point of the outbreak).\n\nThe start of year 2025 was characterised with the rainy season in Angola, with documented flooding across numerous provinces of the country. Combined with heavy rainfall, poor sanitation and limited access to clean water, there was an increase of risk in Cholera outbreaks and other waterborne diseases, especially in children. From the start of the year, multiple risk alerts for imminent flooding were issued on the Disaster Alert Platform across various provinces, including Luanda and those at higher risk of diseases outbreak.\n\nFlooding risk according to IFRC Risk Watch, remained through May 2025 for Angola. Reports from the Provincial Government indicated multiple impacts of floods including lives and livelihoods lost or damaged, as well as houses and public infrastructure across various provinces. While these provincial reports did not have disaggregated data by date of flooding event, but covered seasons across years, they still showed impacts of the floods. On 7th May 2025, Angola Red Cross submitted a qualitative assessment carried out by the National Society (NS) with support from this DREF operation on the vulnerabilities and risks of people affected by floods and Cholera across 6 provinces. The assessment report was accompanied by official government data (where available and with various time periods). The qualitative assessment from the NS indicated that due to heavy downpours, there were significant loss of livelihoods in communities, and an increased risk of disease outbreaks. The most reported needs were those of reinforced shelter as homes were built with weak materials, household items such as Mosquito nets, health and hygiene items such as soap and clean water, and food (given loss of agricultural inputs and ongoing food insecurity across Angola). Data from the Government indicated that there were deaths and injuries and thousands of houses damaged or destroyed. However, the impacts were not linked to one specific event, but to entire seasons of flooding. While the impacts of the floods  \n could not be linked to a single flooding event, the 7th May 2025 Report from the NS, was the official request for support for the impact of the floods and continued Cholera Response because floods worsened the Cholera Outbreak. By end of June 2025, most of flooded areas had dried, while households returned to their settlements, needs were still high due to the loss and the impact of floods.\n\nIn response to the flood emergency, the Angola Red Cross, with support from the IFRC, conducted a rapid market assessment in 3 most affected provinces most by the combined impacts of heavy rainfall, flooding and Cholera transmission. Based on the findings, targeting criteria were established, beneficiaries were identified, and cash assistance was distributed to eligible households in a timely, dignified and flexible manner, while simultaneously supporting local markets. This complemented the ongoing WASH and Health activities, as key interventions for under both Cholera and flood responses.\n\nThe primary funding for the Angola Red Cross Cholera Response was provided by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) through the DREF, designed as an integrated and multisectoral intervention. The response was structured around the core pillars of Health, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Community Engagement and Accountability \/ Risk Communication (CEA\/RCCE), Protection, Gender and Inclusion (PGI), and Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting (PMER), ensuring a coordinated, community centered and standards based humanitarian approach. Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) achievements under this operation were significantly enhanced through strong complementarity with ongoing partner initiatives. In Cuanza Norte, a  \n UNICEF-supported project contributed to critical WASH interventions, including water chlorination, soap distribution, and hygiene awareness campaigns. In parallel, a complementary donation from the French Red Cross reinforced these efforts by enabling the procurement and distribution of additional Aqua tabs, thereby expanding household level water treatment coverage. A total of 17,060 people received Aquatabs through the French Red Cross support. Together, these complementary interventions strengthened the overall effectiveness, reach, and sustainability of the WASH response, ensuring more comprehensive and well coordinated support to vulnerable populations.","country":[{"id":19,"name":"Angola","shortname":"Angola","iso3":"ago","location":{"lat":-12.1,"lon":17.91},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T02:31:59+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212161","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Afghanistan | Earthquake - Operation Update #4 (MDRAF019)","body":"**A. SITUATION ANALYSIS**  \n**Description of the crisis**\n\nOn August 31, 2025, a 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck southeastern Afghanistan near Jalalabad, approximately 30 km from Momand Dara (Nangarhar) and Nurgal (Kunar). The earthquake caused significant shaking across Kunar and Nangarhar, with effects also felt in Laghman and Nuristan. There were considerable aftershocks measuring 5.2, 4.5, and 5.6 that followed immediately after the initial quake and again on September 5. These aftershocks exacerbated the damage and complicated early response efforts.\n\nOn September 23, a 4.9-magnitude earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan. The quake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) and was centered approximately 23 kilometers (14 miles) from Jalalabad, the capital of Nangarhar province. Key infrastructure, including water sources, was damaged, and there were reports of livestock and farmland being decimated.\n\nThe southeastern Afghanistan earthquake caused severe destruction, killing over 2,200 people, injuring more than 3,600, and affecting up to 3 million. According to OCHA (Humanitarian Update, February 2026), nearly half a million people were affected and more than 221,000 people remain in urgent need of humanitarian assistance six months after the earthquake1. Thousands were displaced after widespread housing collapse in Kunar and Nangarhar, with over 3,000 families were displaced in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake and reside in at least five major sites for internally displaced people (IDP) across two districts, with many smaller areas of displacement across the entire earthquake affected area. As winter was ongoing during the reporting period, winterization support remained a priority.\n\nThe earthquake occurred at a time when Afghanistan is already facing a severe humanitarian crisis characterized by a prolonged economic downturn, decreasing international assistance, and the forced return of migrants from neighboring countries. Vulnerable groups, particularly women and children, are bearing a disproportionate burden and have limited access to essential medical care. While immediate life-saving needs in the eastern provinces have eased compared to the acute emergency phase, the overall humanitarian situation remains dire, with recovery needs persisting and over 221,000 people still in urgent need of assistance (OCHA, February 2026). Entire villages in Nangarhar and Kunar have been destroyed, with thousands still with no access to safe and permanent shelter. The combination of fragile housing, primarily mud structures, heavy rainfall and unstable terrain intensified the disaster's impact, creating urgent and widespread needs for shelter, healthcare, food assistance, and protection. As of 31 March 2026, six months into the response, the immediate life-saving phase has transitioned into a recovery-oriented phase.\n\nBoth ARCS-managed displacement camps in Kunar were closed in March 2026 due to escalating armed conflict in the area, with displaced families relocated to areas of origin. Recovery needs persist across shelter reconstruction, livelihoods restoration, sustained primary health care, and continued psychosocial support. By February 2026, more than 221,000 people remain in urgent need of humanitarian assistance in the eastern earthquake-affected provinces, while the broader Afghanistan humanitarian context continues to deteriorate with 21.9 million people projected to require assistance in 2026 (OCHA, HNRP 2026)2.\n\nOn 3 November 2025, a second major earthquake of 6.3 magnitude hit northern Afghanistan near the Balkh\u2013 Samangan border at a depth of 28 km. The tremor was widely felt across northern and central Afghanistan and as far as Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.\n\nThe second earthquake in Balkh and Samangan hit already vulnerable communities, 26 deaths and 1172 injuries3. More than 220,000 people including IDPs, returnees, and highly vulnerable groups were already in precarious conditions before the shock. The earthquake damaged over 2,000 homes, disrupted key services including health facilities, and temporarily blocked the Balkh\u2013Kabul highway, highlighting fragile access routes and risks such as landslides and rockfall. According to OCHA (Humanitarian Update, January 2026)4, UN assessments confirmed that nearly 4,000 families were affected, with homes either destroyed or damaged, alongside 91 schools and 18 water sources rendered unusable, further disrupting daily life and increasing public health risks. Immediate priority needs identified include winterized shelters, safe drinking water, heating, and basic cooking supplies, with female-headed households, persons with disabilities, the injured, and host families among the most vulnerable groups requiring sustained support.\n\nEarthquakes have left thousands of households without sufficient food, shelter, or financial resources. This situation has been exacerbated by the widespread loss of crops, livestock, and infrastructure. While some remote markets have experienced temporary disruptions, most markets continue to operate effectively, making them suitable for cash-based assistance. Agricultural cycles in Nangarhar, Laghman, and Kunar have been disrupted, leading to increased debt for farmers and diminished incomes. This has created urgent needs for livelihood support, including both in-kind aid and cash-based assistance (CVA).\n\nHealth services, already limited before the disaster, require reinforcement, especially through mobile health teams. Water and sanitation systems have been damaged, necessitating emergency water supply, sanitation solutions, and later rehabilitation to reduce public health risks. Disease risks, including Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD), scabies, malaria, dengue, and respiratory infections, are elevated in overcrowded, camp-like settings, underscoring the need for health and hygiene promotion.\n\nProtection concerns are rising, particularly for women and girls with reduced mobility and limited access to information. Shelter needs remain severe: many families are living in inadequate temporary structures, facing heightened risks as winter approaches. Immediate winterization, home repairs, and long-term safe shelter solutions are essential. Hosts supporting displaced families also require assistance. Protection concerns are considered one of the vulnerability criteria for selecting people to be assisted.\n\nEarthquakes have had a profound impact on communities, both physically and emotionally. This situation has created an urgent need for emergency health services, including deployed health teams, referrals for serious cases, and essential supplies such as medications and equipment. Many individuals are experiencing significant psychological distress due to the loss of family members, homes, and livelihoods, which has exacerbated pre-existing psychosocial issues. Communities have reported feelings of grief, anxiety, and fear, while healthcare staff have indicated a critical shortage of medications and trained professionals. According to a WHO report, it is essential to scale up outreach, counselling, and community-based mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS). Women, children, and older adults have been identified as priority groups that require immediate attention.5","country":[{"id":13,"name":"Afghanistan","shortname":"Afghanistan","iso3":"afg","location":{"lat":33.84,"lon":66.03},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T02:22:27+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212160","score":1,"fields":{"title":"UNMAS and FAO welcome generous funding from the People of Japan to restore agricultural livelihoods in conflict-affected areas in Syria [EN\/AR]","body":"The United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) welcome a significant contribution from the People of Japan to launch a joint two-year project aimed at restoring agricultural livelihoods and strengthening resilience in northwest Syria.

While modest economic recovery has continued, supported by domestic consumption, agriculture, and trade activity, economic growth remains insufficient to offset rapid population growth and worsening livelihood pressures. According to UNDP\u2019s socioeconomic review, subsistence insecurity has deepened despite the recovery, with nearly three-quarters of the population unable to adequately meet basic living needs, while weak job creation, stalled local production, and limited investment continue to constrain broader economic recovery. Recurring floods, drought conditions, and irregular rainfall also continued to affect agricultural production and rural livelihoods, further increasing household vulnerability and food security risks. (World Bank; ADB; UNDP)\n\n\u2022 Regional trade disruptions continued to reshape Afghanistan\u2019s import structure, following the closure of key crossings with Pakistan and operational constraints affecting transit routes through Iran and the Middle East corridor. As a result, trade has increasingly shifted toward western and northern corridors, including Iran and Central Asia, helping maintain the flow of essential imports. However, reliance on alternative routes has increased transportation costs, delivery times, and operational inefficiencies, contributing to higher import costs and localized price disparities. Despite these constraints, markets generally remained supplied, although elevated freight and logistics costs continued to place upward pressure on domestic prices.\n\n\u2022 The Afghani remained relatively stable against the US dollar during April 2026, averaging AFN 64.7\/USD. Continued remittance inflows, sustained demand for the local currency, and central bank liquidity management helped limit sharper exchange-rate fluctuations despite ongoing regional uncertainty. Exchange rate stability has continued to moderate imported inflationary pressures, particularly for food and fuel, although the impact on domestic prices remains partly constrained by higher global commodity prices, elevated transport costs, and persistent supply chain disruptions.\n\n\u2022 Inflationary pressures remained elevated, with headline inflation rising to 7.6% y-o-y as of March 2026. Food inflation reached 7.4%, reflecting supply disruptions, drought impacts, and rising transportation costs. Non-food inflation increased to 7.7%, largely supported by higher housing (+17.6%), health (+13.9%), and transport-related expenses linked to returnee inflows and increased import costs. Afghanistan\u2019s heavy dependence on imported commodities continues to expose domestic prices to global commodity trends, exchange rate movements, and regional trade disruptions (World Bank; ADB).","country":[{"id":13,"name":"Afghanistan","shortname":"Afghanistan","iso3":"afg","location":{"lat":33.84,"lon":66.03},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"World Food Programme"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T02:06:44+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212157","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Afghanistan | Earthquake - DREF Operational Update (MDRAF019)","body":"**Description of the Event**\n\n**Date of event**  \n 01-09-2025  \n**What happened, where and when?**\n\nOn 31 August 2025, a 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck southeastern Afghanistan near Jalalabad, approximately 30 km from Momand Dara (Nangarhar) and Nurgal (Kunar).

National social systems and host community safety networks are under considerable strain as protection needs continue to rise. The temporary cessation of hostilities remains fragile and subject to change, requiring continued monitoring and operational readiness while the humanitarian consequences of earlier hostilities continue to affect populations across multiple regions.\n\nIn the Islamic Republic of Iran, widespread destruction of more than 149,0001 civilian infrastructures and essential services, including hospitals, schools and emergency facilities, continues to reduce basic living conditions. As of 29 April 2026 an estimated 400,000 people have seen their homes directly affected by housing damages. Mobility patterns are being shaped by housing damage, livelihood loss, and service disruptions, leading to temporary internal relocation, reliance on family networks, and increased labour\u2011related movement. While no large\u2011scale cross\u2011border displacement has been observed, the cumulative pressures are contributing to heightened interest in outward migration among vulnerable groups, including youth, migrants, and low\u2011income urban households. Overall, population movements remain localised, temporary, and economically driven, with no signs of mass displacement; however, ongoing strain on housing, livelihoods, and basic services is likely to sustain elevated mobility levels in the near- and medium-term.\n\nIn Lebanon, the ceasefire has contributed to a partial stabilization of population movements, with an initial slowdown in large-scale displacement. However, mobility patterns remain fluid and the situation fragile. While hundreds of thousands of households have begun cautious and often temporary returns, they remain limited in several areas, including the South, Nabatieh, the southern suburbs of Beirut and parts of the Bekaa, due to ongoing insecurity and infrastructure damage. Concurrently, collective sites and host communities continue to face sustained pressure, with some previously displaced families returning to shelters after unsuccessful attempts to return home. Crossborder flows into the Syrian Arab Republic are continuing, reaching over 400,0002 movements since 02 March and placing additional pressure on an already overstretched humanitarian system.\n\nIOM\u2019s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) is on the ground, actively tracking displacement and crossborder mobility while scaling operations in coordination with local authorities and partners to better understand how the crisis is impacting human mobility in the region.","country":[{"id":121,"name":"Iran (Islamic Republic of)","shortname":"Iran","iso3":"irn","location":{"lat":32.57,"lon":54.3},"primary":true},{"id":13,"name":"Afghanistan","shortname":"Afghanistan","iso3":"afg","location":{"lat":33.84,"lon":66.03}},{"id":23,"name":"Armenia","shortname":"Armenia","iso3":"arm","location":{"lat":40.61,"lon":44.66}},{"id":27,"name":"Azerbaijan","shortname":"Azerbaijan","iso3":"aze","location":{"lat":40.42,"lon":47.72}},{"id":122,"name":"Iraq","shortname":"Iraq","iso3":"irq","location":{"lat":33.05,"lon":43.4}},{"id":137,"name":"Lebanon","shortname":"Lebanon","iso3":"lbn","location":{"lat":33.92,"lon":35.89}},{"id":182,"name":"Pakistan","shortname":"Pakistan","iso3":"pak","location":{"lat":29.97,"lon":69.39}},{"id":226,"name":"Syrian Arab Republic","shortname":"Syria","iso3":"syr","location":{"lat":35.01,"lon":38.51}},{"id":236,"name":"T\u00fcrkiye","shortname":"T\u00fcrkiye","iso3":"tur","location":{"lat":39.06,"lon":35.18}},{"id":237,"name":"Turkmenistan","shortname":"Turkmenistan","iso3":"tkm","location":{"lat":39.12,"lon":59.38}}],"source":[{"name":"International Organization for Migration"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T01:33:17+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212151","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Somalia - Emergency Trend Tracking (ETT) - 5 Districts assessed | Week 60 (02 - 06 May 2026)","body":"This latest round of Emergency Trends Tracking was initiated in February 2025 to monitor displacement movements during the Jilaal dry season.

In Burhakaba district of Bay, malnutrition has surpassed the 30 percent WHZ threshold associated with Famine (IPC Phase 5), while many other areas recorded a MUAC that exceeded the 15 percent Famine threshold. The most likely scenario assumes *gu* rainfall continues through the normal end of the season, enabling households to access up to two months of cereal harvests, driving modest food security improvements. However, if the *gu* rains end early, or should prolonged dry spells emerge during critical stages of crop development in May and June, a second consecutive season of crop failure would drive rapidly increasing levels of hunger, acute malnutrition, and hunger-related mortality, resulting in Famine (IPC Phase 5).\n- **Widespread Crisis (IPC Phase 3) and Emergency (IPC Phase 4) is expected through September, with a small proportion of the population in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5) until green harvesting begins.** FEWS NET assesses that a greater proportion of households will face Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse due to sharper increases in food and fuel costs and poorer *gu* performance than[ **previously anticipated**](https:\/\/fews.net\/east-africa\/somalia\/food-security-outlook\/february-2026). In pastoral areas, below-average livestock productivity, high food prices, and insecurity will constrain food access, especially in areas facing multiple poor seasons.In agropastoral areas, below-average *gu* main season harvests will support improvements to Crisis (IPC Phase 3) in highly cropping-dependent areas and Stressed (IPC Phase 2) in those with more substantial livestock production.\n- **Somalia is highly dependent on imported food and fuel from the Gulf region and is exposed to regional supply and price shocks.** Following recent events in the Middle East, domestic fuel prices continued to surge, increasing as much as 57 percent between March and April alone. This is expected to drive upward pressure on already above-average food prices, further constraining food access, through at least September.","country":[{"id":216,"name":"Somalia","shortname":"Somalia","iso3":"som","location":{"lat":5.79,"lon":47.33},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"Famine Early Warning System Network"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T01:28:38+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212204","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Seeds of Equity and Inclusion in Germination!","body":"In Haitian communities facing profound challenges, particularly in Savanne Haleine and Cerca-la-Source in the Central Plateau, subtle yet significant changes are taking root.

However, a notable number also indicated that recovery was more challenging due to livelihood losses and that livestock were continuing to die. From this week\u2019s batch of calls, rainfall seemed most prevalent in southern and central regions. Some noted that the rain was inconsistent, light, or scattered in their areas. Several callers in Hirshabelle areas spoke of river flooding or flood risks and the need for assistance. Conflict was a concern for several callers in Sool and Sanag regions. The rejection of the Somali shilling notes also continued to cause concern for callers in southern regions. The following summarises the calls by theme.\n\n**Floods** \u2013 three callers in Hirshabelle, including one in Jowhar, said there was heavy rain, the river had flooded, and in one case people were said to have been drowned. A female caller in Beletweyne said the rain meant they were at risk of flooding and they needed help to avert disaster. In Mogadishu, a female caller said they had heavy rainfall and the streets had flooded with water. She said the authorities should clean up the city.\n\n**Currency** \u2013 callers in Bay and L. Shabelle regions said they were concerned about traders rejecting the shilling notes. A caller in Qansahdhere said people were moving to mobile money but as ordinary people and farmers they didn\u2019t know where they could get dollars for such transactions.\n\n**Health** \u2013 three female callers had questions about treating children with diarrhoea and malnourished children with fainting episodes.\n\n**Food insecurity** \u2013 a caller in Harardere, Mudug region, said they had rainfall and although their livestock had fodder, the people were still facing food shortage and couldn\u2019t eat animal fodder. A female caller said she used to have 12 goats but six died due to the drought and the other six were sick. She added an appeal for help. Two callers, including one in Jowhar, said they were out of work because fuel was too expensive to run their motorcycle or tuk-tuk taxis. A caller in Dollow, Gedo, said young people needed jobs to improve their lives.\n\n**Livestock** \u2013 female callers in Sanag and L. Shabelle regions wanted help with sickness affecting their cows. Others called about foot and mouth, diarrhoea, and *shimbir* affecting their goats. A caller in Mandhere, M. Shabelle, put out a call for anyone who could help locating his lost cattle.\n\n**Agriculture \u2013** a caller in Warsheikh, M. Shabelle, said the rainfall had brought crop pests that needed control. A caller in Lower Juba wanted to know from experts if grass and weeds should best be removed from farmland by ploughing or using pesticides.\n\n**Rainfall** \u2013 in the north, a caller in Borama, Awdal, said the rain was helping the livestock, whilst a caller in Dadmaren, Togdher, said the rain had come after many people had migrated away to other areas. A female caller in Erigabo, Sanag, said they were doing well with rainfall, but clan conflicts in Lashimo and Armale had caused death and destruction and they needed intervention to stop the conflict. Another said the rainfall had been little and not widespread. Many called from parts of Galgadud about beneficial rainfall that had brought relief in areas including Guriel, Abudwak, and Adado. However, one caller said a few of their weak goats had died in the heavy rainfall. A large number of callers across Middle Shabelle spoke of good rainfall and drought recovery. However, a female caller in Kongo said whilst the livestock were doing well, they were concerned about the drop in livestock prices in the market. A caller in Barawe, L. Shabelle, said their animals were now fattening up. Several called from Baidoa, Burhakaba, Dinsor, and Daynunay in Bay region about beneficial rain and farmers at work. In Gedo region, a number called from districts most notably Dollow saying they were recovering from the drought as their livestock were getting fodder and water. In Middle Juba, there were callers about rain in Salagle, Bulahaji, and Gobweyne where the river was said to be flowing with water. However, one in Kismayo said the rain had stopped already and the weather was intensely hot.\n\n**Drought and water shortage** \u2013 in Sanag, female callers in Bir-hamar said they were seeing rainclouds but hadn\u2019t yet received any rainfall. A female caller in Lasanod said they were concerned about recurring drought and conflicts, and wanted the government and aid organisations to help them get access to water and education services. A caller in Nugal, Puntland, said their livestock were still dying due to drought. Another in Ufeyn, Bari region, said they faced severe drought and had not had any rainfall and were appealing for help. A caller in Abudwak said heat had returned after a little rainfall and their livestock also continued to perish.","country":[{"id":216,"name":"Somalia","shortname":"Somalia","iso3":"som","location":{"lat":5.79,"lon":47.33},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"Radio Ergo"}],"date":{"created":"2026-05-15T00:00:00+00:00"}}},{"id":"4212209","score":1,"fields":{"title":"des graines d\u2019\u00e9quit\u00e9 et d\u2019inclusion en germination!","body":"Dans des communaut\u00e9s ha\u00eftiennes travers\u00e9es par des d\u00e9fis profonds, en particulier \u00e0 Savanne Haleine et \u00e0 Cerca-la-Source, au Plateau Central, germent des changements discrets et significatifs.
