The article highlights key insights from the Symposium on the Responsible Use of Technology in Humanitarian Action, held in Beijing in December 2025, presenting shared dilemmas, emerging challenges, and avenues for continued engagement.**\n\n\u201cHumanitarian challenges today are global, and so must be the solutions\u201d said Gong Ke, Executive Director of the Chinese Institute of New Generation AI Development Strategies. Part of his opening remarks during a sunny, brisk winter morning in Beijing, Gong Ke spoke to the importance of responsible AI safeguards in humanitarian action, from prioritizing urgent needs to ensuring inclusive datasets. The event was situated a few kilometers away from Tsinghua, one of the leading engineering and technology university in China, and Zhongguancun Science Park, the country\u2019s leading tech and innovation hub.\n\nCo-organised by the ICRC\u2019s Global Cyber Hub in Luxembourg, the ICRC\u2019s Regional Delegation for East Asia in Beijing and the Center for International Security and Strategy (CISS) at Tsinghua University, the Beijing Symposium drew together more than 80 humanitarian practitioners, policy experts, industry representatives and researchers from almost 20 countries in Asia, Europe, Africa and North America, helping to connect operational concerns with wider discussions on AI governance and safety, cyber risks, and the digital transformation.\n\nThe Beijing Symposium formed an important part of a broader ICRC Symposium series launched in 2018 to create an open, trusted space for cross-sector and interdisciplinary dialogue on technology, cybersecurity, data protection, and humanitarian action. Earlier events in the series were held in London, Luxembourg, Nairobi, Geneva, and Vienna. The Beijing edition deepened engagement with Chinese and Global South perspectives on the responsible use of technology in warfare and in humanitarian action.\n\n## Why now, and why in Beijing?\n\nTechnologies have long shaped how wars are fought, and today, they increasingly shape how humanitarian organisations assess needs, communicate, plan, and deliver. In an era of protracted armed conflicts coupled with the outbreak of new conflicts, humanitarian needs rise while funding is dramatically reduced. This is causing the humanitarian sector to scale up technological solutions to meet greater needs with fewer resources. Yet, the adoption of technology must go hand in hand with [**principles**](https:\/\/international-review.icrc.org\/articles\/lost-in-digital-translation-the-humanitarian-principles-in-the-digital-age-925), guardrails, and [**policies**](https:\/\/blogs.icrc.org\/law-and-policy\/2024\/11\/28\/trying-to-square-the-circle-the-icrc-ai-policy\/) to guide its use. This could minimise risks of unintended harm and erosion of trust in the humanitarian sector\u2019s ability to operate in a principled way.\n\n**\u201cThroughout the long arc of human civilization, technology has always been a driving force for social progress.

The ICRC has been [**leveraging**](https:\/\/www.icrc.org\/en\/document\/china-world-journey-solar-lamp) some Chinese technology and manufacturing prowess to help people in hard-to-reach areas and supply them with adaptive solutions.\n\nIn the meantime, China has also deepened its role in global governance of data and AI. For the ICRC, engagement with China matters because it offers an opportunity to learn and exchange on consequences and guardrails, and maintain the balanced and neutral approach crucial for the ICRC to operate in a polarized technological enviornment. Through dialogue at the Symposium and [**other events**](https:\/\/www.icrc.org\/en\/article\/shaping-international-rules-ai-and-ai-governance-some-humanitarian-considerations), the goal is to better understand technological trends and build mutual understanding of the shared values and principles that underpin the design and use of these technologies. With these contexts in mind, the following sections highlight the key messages from the discussions in Beijing.\n\n\u201cThe kind of \\[digital\\] dilemmas we grapple with in situations of war are like a magnifying glass that bring out certain issues in a very stark way.\u201d\n\n**Balthasar Staehelin**, former Personal Envoy of the ICRC President to China and former Head of the ICRC Regional Delegation for East Asia\n\n## Responsible and inclusive AI: from principles to practice\n\nAI is already being explored in humanitarian settings across a growing range of functions: optimising logistics and humanitarian supply chains to [**forecast demand**](https:\/\/scm.ethz.ch\/news-and-events\/articles\/2024\/08\/humoscm-lab-wins-grant-to-apply-ai-to-humanitarian-supply-chains.html); analysing satellite imagery and detecting conflict-related damage to serve as [**an early-warning system**](https:\/\/eha.swiss\/case-study\/remote-monitoring-of-armed-conflicts\/); and [**strengthening data analysis**](https:\/\/academy.evalcommunity.com\/mapping-vulnerable-populations-with-ai-international-committee-of-the-red-cross\/) to inform operational planning. At the same time, AI outputs reflect the data it is trained on, the incentives of those who build it, and the contexts in which it is deployed.\n\nAt the Beijing Symposium, participants highlighted that AI risks are highly context-dependent, back-office tools carry manageable exposure, whereas systems influencing triage, early warning, or aid distribution demand far greater scrutiny. On AI governance, participants converged on a human-centred baseline: AI should not replace human decision-making, and responsibility cannot be delegated to machines. The priority now is translating these principles into practice through concrete safeguards, clear chains of responsibility, robust testing and evaluation, and enforceable accountability across the full AI lifecycle.\n\nParticipants stressed that the remaining question is how these frameworks can become truly inclusive across different contexts. As the AI divide widens, there is a real risk that low-resource countries and humanitarian actors will be shaped by governance models developed without their full participation, even though these are often the settings where the stakes are highest. Therefore, ensuring that various perspectives are represented in ongoing dialogues will be essential.\n\n\u201cDigital technologies have become a lifeline for humanitarian response, which is precisely why humanitarian principles must be integrated into technology design from the very start.\u201d\n\n**Els Debuf**, Head of ICRC Global Cyber Hub in Luxembourg\n\n## Back to the Basics: digital infrastructure and trust in humanitarian action\n\nIn a broader context where advanced technologies and innovation are often seen as offering promising solutions, humanitarian actors often find themselves returning to first principles. In crisis settings, the most important form of \u201ctech for good\u201d remains robust digital infrastructure: connectivity, power, and offline-capable systems.\n\nOnce those basics are in place, the challenge then is how to use digital tools and systems without creating dependency on external platforms or proprietary systems. As humanitarian actors increasingly rely on digital systems that can improve efficiency, coordination, and reach, these same systems also shape how relationships with affected populations are managed. The issue is therefore how to preserve operational independence and flexibility, avoid vendor lock-in, and ensure that digital tools do not undermine humanitarian principles or trust.\n\n## What\u2019s next\n\nMoving forward from the event in Beijing, the ICRC\u2019s Global Cyber Hub\u2019s Symposium series will continue carving out a space for dialogue grounded in the ICRC\u2019s operational experience, field presence, and humanitarian principles.\n\nTogether, these efforts support an ongoing commitment to learn from a broader range of perspectives, including Chinese and other regional experts working on technology development, policy analysis, and humanitarian action, and to create a space for exchange on how to navigate the fast-evolving intersection of humanitarian action and digital transformation, while keeping humanity and human dignity at the centre.\n\nThe next [**Symposium on Humanitarian Action in Cyberspace and the Digital Age**](https:\/\/www.webedit.icrc.org\/en\/event\/2026-symposium-humanitarian-action-cyberspace-and-digital-age) will take place in Luxembourg from 23 to 25 November 2026.","country":[{"id":254,"name":"World","shortname":"World","iso3":"wld","primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"International Committee of the Red Cross"}],"date":{"created":"2026-07-17T14:30:25+00:00"}}},{"id":"4221894","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Canada matches $7 million in donations for humanitarian response in Venezuela","body":"July 17, 2026 - Ottawa, Ontario - Global Affairs Canada\n\nCanadians have shown time and again how generous they can be in times of crisis.

When some results came back positive for Ebola, people began to accept that the disease was real,\u201d Djombo recalls.\n\nTo address concerns that emerged during the early days of the outbreak, the Ministry of Public Health, with support from partners, placed dialogue with communities at the centre of the response.\n\nHussein Twaibu, Adviser to the Minister of Health for Communication and National Chair of the Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) pillar, believes that discussions held in communities have gradually changed perceptions of the disease and the health response.\n\n\u201cCommunities are increasingly requesting investigation teams, safe and dignified burials, care, personal protective equipment and information about treatment. They are now asking for faster and better-quality services,\u201d he says.\n\nThis change is the result of close engagement with local leaders, religious leaders, women\u2019s and youth associations, and community volunteers. These regular discussions help identify concerns, answer questions and adapt interventions to local realities.\n\nDjombo is one of these frontline community actors. After receiving training on Ebola, he raises awareness among families in his area about the signs and symptoms of the disease, prevention measures and the importance of seeking health care quickly.\n\nFor Julienne Anoko, WHO risk communication and community engagement lead for the Ebola response in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the progress observed in Ituri demonstrates the importance of involving communities in decisions made during an outbreak. \u201cWhen communities contribute to decision-making, they become active partners in the response. Community engagement is central because it ensures that the response is relevant, accepted, effective and grounded in the needs and realities of affected populations,\u201d she says.\n\nHealth workers have also observed the impact of this community-centred approach. At the University Hospital Centre of Bunia, Dr Yves Tibamwenda has seen a gradual improvement in health-seeking behaviour.\n\nExplaining the difference between patients who seek care early and those who arrive later, he says: \u201cPatients who arrive early have a strong chance of survival because they have not yet developed complications. The sooner they come, the greater their chances of recovery.\u201d\n\nFor Tibamwenda, the progress achieved is closely linked to dialogue with communities and the involvement of local actors.   \n\u201cCommunity engagement is fundamental in the fight against Ebola. Without the community, we can do nothing,\u201d he says.\n\nThe results of this approach are reflected in the scale of community mobilization conducted between 25 May and 24 June 2026. More than 2.5 million people were reached through community-based awareness activities in Ituri, North Kivu and South Kivu provinces. More than 2800 community leaders were engaged to communicate prevention messages to their communities.\n\nIn addition, a rapid community intervention brigade composed of 15 leaders managed 27 incidents of resistance related to suspected cases, community deaths or response activities.\n\nBeyond the numbers, response teams have observed greater participation in several critical response activities, including contact tracing, sample collection, transfers to treatment centres and safe and dignified burials. Several situations involving reluctance or resistance were resolved through discussions with families and the intervention of local leaders.\n\nBehind these achievements are the daily efforts of community volunteers who continue to answer questions, address concerns and support families when cases are reported.\n\nIn Kigonze, Djombo continues his awareness-raising visits with the conviction that every conversation can help protect a family. Having witnessed his community move from doubt to a better understanding of the disease, he continues to share a simple message: \u201cToday, people understand the disease better. We have seen that when families act quickly, they are more likely to protect their loved ones. Seeing these changes in my community motivates me to continue this work every day.\u201d\n\n## **Media contacts**\n\n**Kadijah Diallo**\n\nCommunications Officer  \nWHO Regional Office for Africa  \nEmail: dialloka \\[at\\] who.int (dialloka\\[at\\]who\\[dot\\]int)\n\n**Marl\u00e8ne Dimegni Bermi**\n\nCharg\u00e9e de communication\n\nT\u00e9l : +243 899 330 358\n\nEmail: dimegnim \\[at\\] who.int (dimegnim\\[at\\]who\\[dot\\]int)","country":[{"id":75,"name":"Democratic Republic of the Congo","shortname":"DR Congo","iso3":"cod","location":{"lat":-4.03833,"lon":21.7587},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"World Health Organization"}],"date":{"created":"2026-07-17T14:02:31+00:00"}}},{"id":"4221879","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Uganda begins countdown to end of Ebola outbreak","body":"\\*\\*Kampala\u2014\\*\\* Uganda has today entered the 42-day countdown to the end of its Ebola outbreak after the last confirmed case tested negative for the virus for a second time and was discharged from care, marking an important milestone in the country's response.\n\nThe 42-day countdown, equivalent to two maximum incubation periods for Bundibugyo virus disease, is the established phase before an outbreak can be declared over, provided no new confirmed cases are detected during this period.\n\nUganda declared the outbreak on 15 May 2026 and as of 16 July 2026, 20 confirmed cases and two deaths have been reported. Fifteen cases were the result of importation from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and five were locally aquired.\n\n\u201cIt has been two months since we declared the outbreak and we are now celebrating the discharge of the last patient. This shows that Ebola is defeatable if we adhere to measures and establish strong systems,\u201d says Dr Chris Baryomunsi, Minister of Health in Uganda. \u201cI thank all the teams involved, including the health workers and support staff, for the courage, resilience, professionalism and charisma, working 24 hours a day to provide care.\u201d\n\nSince the outbreak was declared, the Ministry of Health in Uganda, with support from World Health Organization (WHO) and partners, has implemented an intensive response that included rapid case detection, laboratory testing, contact tracing, infection prevention and control measures, case management, risk communication and community engagement, and cross-border collaboration with the Democratic Republic of the Congo.\n\nAs of 16 July 2026, all 836 contacts have been followed up, while surveillance systems were strengthened across 36 high-risk districts and at 38 points of entry. Health workers received training and essential medical equipment and supplies to safely identify, isolate and manage suspected cases, helping to limit further transmission.\n\nWHO has supported health authorities by mobilizing around 70 technical experts into the national response, strengthening laboratory capacity, coordinating logistics, supporting surveillance and contact tracing, providing medical supplies and equipment to protect frontline health workers and working with affected communities across high-risk districts.\n\n\"This milestone reflects the dedication of Uganda's leadership, health workers, case investigation teams, communities and partners who have worked hard to interrupt transmission,\" says Dr Kasonde Mwinga, WHO Representative in Uganda. \"While this is an encouraging moment, it is not the end of the response. Maintaining strong surveillance, rapid investigation of alerts and community engagement into the future will be essential to achieving and sustaining success.\"\n\nAlthough no new confirmed cases have been reported since 21 June 2026, health authorities continue to enhance cross-border surveillance and operational readiness across all border areas to sustain rapid detection and trigger new response operations when needed. Community members, health workers and leaders are encouraged to keep alert to Ebola, report any symptoms promptly and seek care immediately if the disease is suspected.\n\nAlthough Uganda has officially begun the 42-day countdown to declaring the end of the outbreak, this remains a single, complex outbreak across international borders with shared communities. As transmission continues in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, there remains a risk of additional imported cases into Uganda during the countdown period. Should this occur, the 42-day countdown would be reset to day zero. This would reflect the realities of responding to a cross-border outbreak with ongoing transmission, rather than any shortcomings in the response of either country.\n\nAs Uganda exits this initial acute phase of the emergency, the next phase will require maintaining the highest level of vigilance over a protracted timeframe, so any new cases imported from the Democratic Republic of the Congo can be quickly detected and controlled. To this end, the Ministry of Health of Uganda this week launched a new six-month plan, maintaining and strengthening existing interventions to reduce the likelihood of resurgence and limiting the potential for wider geographical spread of the outbreak from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.\n\n## **Media contacts**\n\n**Benjamin Sensasi**\n\nHealth Promotion Advisor  \nTel. : +256 414 335505  \nCell: +256 772 507906  \nEmail: sensasib \\[at\\] who.int (sensasib\\[at\\]who\\[dot\\]int)\n\n**Saida Swaleh**\n\nCommunications and Media Relations Officer  \nWHO Regional Office for Africa  \nEmail: saida.swaleh \\[at\\] who.int (saida\\[dot\\]swaleh\\[at\\]who\\[dot\\]int)","country":[{"id":240,"name":"Uganda","shortname":"Uganda","iso3":"uga","location":{"lat":1.28,"lon":32.39},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"World Health Organization"}],"date":{"created":"2026-07-17T13:50:59+00:00"}}},{"id":"4221878","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Reported impact snapshot | Gaza Strip (15 July 2026) at 15:00","country":[{"id":180,"name":"occupied Palestinian territory","shortname":"oPt","iso3":"pse","location":{"lat":31.9522,"lon":35.2332},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs"}],"date":{"created":"2026-07-17T13:47:46+00:00"}}},{"id":"4221877","score":1,"fields":{"title":"oPt: Humanitarian Situation Report | 16 July 2026","body":"## Highlights\n\n- Continued military operations, new displacement and deteriorating access further limited humanitarian assistance and heightened protection concerns across Gaza.\n- Agricultural recovery is at risk as animal feed shortages and soaring prices threaten livestock survival across the Gaza Strip.\n- Engine oil shortages continue to disrupt essential water and sanitation services, increasing the risk of sewage overflows and public health hazards.\n- Settler attacks have become a leading cause of Palestinian injuries in the West Bank, accounting for 55 per cent of all Palestinian injuries in 2026.\n- Israeli settlers demolished the abandoned Al Yanoun School, while Ar Rifa'iyya School became at imminent risk of demolition following an Israeli court ruling. Overall, 84 schools in Area C and East Jerusalem remain under pending demolition or stop-work orders.\n- Jabal al Aqra'a became the 47th Palestinian community to be fully displaced following recurrent settler attacks and related access restrictions since January 2023.\n\n## Overview\n\nAcross the OPT, insecurity, access restrictions, repeated displacement and funding gaps continue to deepen humanitarian needs while constraining response efforts. In the Gaza Strip, ongoing military operations, movement restrictions and insecurity are driving new displacement, disrupting humanitarian operations and limiting access to food, water, shelter, health care and other essential services. Shortages of critical supplies, including engine oil and animal feed, are further undermining water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services, food security and agricultural recovery.\n\nIn the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, Israeli forces\u2019 operations, demolitions, settlement expansion, settler violence and movement restrictions continue to drive displacement, heighten protection risks and undermine access to housing, livelihoods, education and other essential services. Settler attacks have emerged as a leading driver of Palestinian injuries and displacement in 2026, with Bedouin and herding communities in Area C particularly affected.\n\n## Gaza Strip\n\n*This section covers 6 to 12 July unless otherwise specified.*\n\nThe humanitarian situation across Gaza remains dire amid ongoing military activity, recurring security incidents, and increasing movement restrictions. These conditions continue to fuel new displacement, disrupt humanitarian operations, limit access to essential services, and heighten protection risks for affected populations. Critical funding gaps are further compounding these challenges, constraining the ability of humanitarian partners to sustain and scale up responses despite growing needs across the Strip.\n\nAccording to the Ministry of Health (MoH) in Gaza, which operates under the de facto authorities, 40 Palestinians were reported killed, including those who died of wounds and had their bodies retrieved from under the rubble, and 127 people were injured between 8 and 15 July. This brings the overall reported casualty toll since the announcement of a ceasefire agreement on 10 October 2025 to 1,123 fatalities and 3,616 injuries. Another 96 fatalities were retroactively added to the total number after their identification details were approved by MoH.\n\nOn 13 and 14 July, reported Israeli military strikes on police positions in North Gaza resulted in 12 fatalities, reflecting the volatile security environment and the continued impact of military operations on civilian infrastructure and public-service capacity. Further south, an airstrike on 10 July reportedly destroyed shelters in displacement sites in Al Mawasi area in Khan Younis. As a result, 78 families were displaced and another 130 families had their shelters damaged, significantly increasing emergency shelter needs and heightening protection concerns, particularly for women, children, older persons, and persons with disabilities.\n\nHumanitarian operations were also affected by interference and insecurity. On 12 July, humanitarian workers were forced to halt food distributions after armed personnel affiliated with the de facto authorities forcibly entered the Abu Rashid food distribution point in Jabalya, North Gaza. The forces also entered a warehouse belonging to the World Food Programme (WFP) and reportedly assaulted two truck drivers who were delivering humanitarian supplies. In a [statement](https:\/\/unsco.unmissions.org\/en\/news\/statement-by-the-united-nations-deputy-special-coordinator-for-the-middle-east-peace) issued on 13 July, the Humanitarian Coordinator, who also serves as the Deputy Special Coordinator and Resident Coordinator, condemned these incidents, stressing that they are not isolated and reflect an increasingly dangerous pattern of intimidation, violence and obstruction, including smuggling attempts, targeting and abusing humanitarian operations. He added that this is happening as the expansion of areas under Israeli control is further reducing the space available to civilians, making it imperative that humanitarian assistance is able to move safely and reach people in need without interference.\n\nIn southern Gaza, access constraints are particularly acute for communities located near the \u201cYellow Line\u201d in northern Rafah. Between 6 and 13 July, 11 displacement sites in the Al Mawasi Fish Fresh area became inaccessible due to continued daily movement of Israeli military tanks in the vicinity, placing approximately 1,600 displaced people at heightened risk of secondary displacement. Humanitarian services in the affected displacement sites were suspended due to insecurity and access constraints, significantly reducing partners\u2019 ability to monitor conditions and deliver assistance. The situation was further aggravated by the loss of access to the primary water source serving these sites, raising serious concerns over access to safe drinking water, hygiene conditions, and public health risks.\n\nFollowing reports of movements of Israeli forces and disruptions to humanitarian services in the area, the UN and its humanitarian partners began conducting joint missions to affected communities. On 13 July, OCHA and its humanitarian partners consulted representatives from 17 displacement sites hosting approximately 3,000 families near the \u201cYellow Line\u201d in northern Rafah. Community representatives reported that the yellow blocks marking the line had moved northward. They also described daily movements of Israeli tanks, the construction of sand embankments and recurrent gunfire. Families reported remaining inside their tents for much of the day due to fear of injury from gunfire or stray bullets.\n\nInsecurity has significantly disrupted humanitarian access, particularly water trucking, food assistance, hygiene activities, and routine site-management support. Many communities reported severe water shortages and limited access to emergency medical transportation. Some families expressed concerns that they had few viable relocation options due to overcrowding elsewhere, shortages of tents and non-food items, and inadequate access to services.\n\nSimilar concerns were observed in Deir al Balah. On 15 July, the Deputy Humanitarian Coordinator led a joint humanitarian mission to a school-turned-shelter in Bureij to assess emerging needs and gaps in humanitarian services. The shelter hosts 18 displaced families and is located about 50 yards from the \u201cYellow Line.\u201d Families reported living there for more than a year and a half, with access constraints hampering the delivery of humanitarian assistance. Their living conditions are severely undermined by insecurity, the absence of alternatives, and severe gaps in access to drinking water, food, healthcare, sanitation and education.\n\nHumanitarian partners have started mobilizing responses to address the most pressing needs and gaps identified in these visited areas. In parallel, they continue to respond to the needs of newly displaced families in various areas across the Strip (See the Intersectoral Support section in Annex 1 below) and maintain support for those in protracted displacement.","country":[{"id":180,"name":"occupied Palestinian territory","shortname":"oPt","iso3":"pse","location":{"lat":31.9522,"lon":35.2332},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs"}],"date":{"created":"2026-07-17T13:45:37+00:00"}}},{"id":"4221869","score":1,"fields":{"title":"World | Temperature anomalies in June 2026 - DG ECHO Daily Map | 17\/07\/2026","country":[{"id":254,"name":"World","shortname":"World","iso3":"wld","primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"European Commission's Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations"}],"date":{"created":"2026-07-17T13:17:13+00:00"}}},{"id":"4221867","score":1,"fields":{"title":"WFP Geneva Palais Briefing Note: WFP warns El Obeid is becoming the new epicentre of Sudan's displacement and hunger crisis","body":"*This is a summary of what was said by Abdallah Aldawart, WFP\u2019s Country Director for Sudan (speaking from Kosti, Sudan, via Zoom) \u2013 to whom quoted text may be attributed \u2013 at today's press briefing at the Palais des Nations in Geneva.*\n\n**GENEVA** \u2013 I'm calling from Kosti, having just returned from a one-day trip to El Obeid city to witness the humanitarian situation on the ground. We have been providing humanitarian assistance in El Obeid, even before this current crisis, and yesterday what I saw was a city that is becoming the epicentre of Sudan\u2019s displacement and hunger crisis.\n\nEl Obeid is a city of around half a million people and some estimates put the number of displaced people in the area at double that. People have been fleeing to the city from the South Kordofan, the West Kordofan, and lately from the North Kordofan, and even from as far as Darfur.\n\nIt's a crowded city with open and overcrowded camps. More than 120,000 people are in what is called the Unified IDP Camp \u2013 an official camp with tents and shelters - but many more are living with families in the host community, or they are just making their own shelter from whatever materials they can find.\n\nThe city is already stressed; we know that food, water and fuel are big concerns for people within the city. WFP has been providing food assistance to over 100,000 people in camps inside the city, but it isn\u2019t enough. Many more within El Obeid need urgent assistance.\n\nFuel supplies in El Obeid are running extremely low which has made it impossible for our partners to move food. WFP has had to bring in its own fleet trucks to ensure we can move food from our warehouses to the distribution points and continue operations.\n\nDespite everything that I saw, what stood out was how generous the city and its residents have been to the displaced families. They are hosting a large number of people, but also sharing any resources and services available. Funding shortfalls mean that we aren\u2019t even able to provide a full ration, people are only receiving 50 percent of the food they should. Despite this, the people I met were sharing what they had with their neighbours and other families who have no source of income.\n\nI visited the camp and met people queuing for food or water. It was very clear that whatever humanitarian agencies are bringing into the city is the only lifeline for people in these camps. I met one woman at a food distribution point. She told me she only gets what WFP provides and has no source of income to support herself. But it isn\u2019t enough to sustain her.\n\nWe want to do more, but our resources are stretched. We have the access in El Obeid, we can deliver the food, and we can be in the city. It is only resources that are limiting our operations.\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)Philippe Kropf, WFP\/Sudan (English), Tel. +249 912 17 4385\n\nMohamed Elamin, WFP\/Sudan (Arabic), Tel. +249 912 12 8974\n\nGemma Snowdon, WFP\/Nairobi, Mob. +39 347 382 3210\n\nMartin Rentsch, WFP\/Berlin, Mob +49 160 99 26 17 30\n\nRene McGuffin, WFP\/ Washington Mob. +1 771 245 4268\n\nNicola 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":"2026-07-17T13:03:06+00:00"}}},{"id":"4221866","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Brazil and WFP strengthen partnership to advance food security and resilient food systems in Namibia | World Food Programme","body":"WINDHOEK, Namibia - The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) welcomes a USD120,000 (NAD 1.97 million) contribution from the Government of the Federative Republic of Brazil to help improve food security and production, strengthen livelihoods, improve nutrition, and build resilient food systems across Namibia, reinforcing a partnership that began in 2019. The funding is expected to benefit more than 1,000 people.\n\nBrazil has worked alongside the Government of the Republic of Namibia and WFP to support communities affected by climate shocks for the past six years. More than USD 2 million (NAD 3.5 million) in funding, as well as in-kind assistance, has helped address malnutrition and build strong food systems across the country. This latest tranche of funding will support the continuation of five Integrated Food Systems Projects in Otjozondjupa,Omaheke, Hardap, Kunene, and Ohangwena regions.\n\nStrategically located within school and health centres environments, the five projects function as local food production hubs through horticulture, poultry farming, and livelihood activities, helping strengthen access to nutritious food while acquiring skills and knowledge that protect against climate and other shocks. The initiatives support school meals programmes, providing fresh produce for mid-morning meals, and soup kitchens that service pregnant and breastfeeding women as well as tuberculosis (TB) patients and people living with HIV. The projects were established in 2021 with funding from the Government of the Federative Republic of Brazil.\n\n\"Brazil's partnership with Namibia has evolved from humanitarian assistance to sharing practical experience that helps communities build their own resilient food systems,\" said H.E. Pedro de Castro da Cunha e Menezes, Ambassador of the Federative Republic of Brazil to Namibia. \"Our goal is not simply to provide resources, but to support people in becoming self-reliant through stronger agriculture, better nutrition, and opportunities that create lasting food security for future generations.\"\n\nAcross supported communities, the partnership has contributed to improved access to nutritious food and stronger local food systems. In Olukula, for example, community members harvested more than 5,000 kilograms of vegetables and produced over 65,000 eggs. In Epako, the project contributed to local nutrition initiatives, including the clinic\u2019s soup kitchen. In Opuwo, the garden at the Waiting Mothers\u2019 Home produced locally grown vegetables to support nutrition initiatives for expectant mothers. Meanwhile, in Stampriet, food production activities generated more than 3,300 kilograms of produce and eggs while contributing to the school feeding programme.\n\n\"This latest funding from Brazil extends well beyond immediate assistance in farming communities,\u201d said James King\u2019ori, Head of Office for WFP in Namibia. \"It equips communities with the tools and opportunities to strengthen livelihoods, improve nutrition, and build sustainable and resilient food systems so they are better able to withstand shocks such as drought.

Chaque jour.\n\nIci, chaque jour, le personnel et les volontaires du Croissant-Rouge de Djibouti font vivre l\u2019humanit\u00e9 aupr\u00e8s de celles et ceux qui en ont le plus besoin.\n\nDjibouti compte un peu plus d\u2019un million d\u2019habitants. Situ\u00e9 au carrefour de l\u2019Afrique, du Moyen-Orient et de certaines des routes migratoires les plus fr\u00e9quent\u00e9es au monde, le pays fait face \u00e0 ses propres d\u00e9fis : pauvret\u00e9 chronique, effets croissants du changement climatique et difficult\u00e9s \u00e9conomiques. Pourtant, il demeure un rare \u00eelot de stabilit\u00e9 dans une r\u00e9gion par ailleurs fragile.\n\nCette stabilit\u00e9 a fait de Djibouti un corridor essentiel le long de la route migratoire de l\u2019Est. Chaque ann\u00e9e, des centaines de milliers de personnes traversent son territoire dans l\u2019espoir de rejoindre les pays du Golfe \u00e0 la recherche d\u2019un emploi et, pour certaines, de gagner ensuite l\u2019Europe.\n\nRien que l\u2019ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re, **environ un demi-million de personnes ont transit\u00e9 par Djibouti, soit l\u2019\u00e9quivalent de la moiti\u00e9 de la population du pays.** Pourtant, cette r\u00e9alit\u00e9 humanitaire fait rarement les gros titres de l\u2019actualit\u00e9 internationale.\n\n## Au-del\u00e0 des chiffres: des histoires individuelles\n\nDerri\u00e8re ce chiffre vertigineux se cachent des vies et des histoires individuelles. Environ une personne en mouvement sur cinq est une femme. Beaucoup sont des enfants qui voyagent seuls ou avec un soutien limit\u00e9. Tout au long de leur parcours, ces personnes sont confront\u00e9es \u00e0 la faim, \u00e0 la d\u00e9shydratation, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9puisement, \u00e0 l\u2019exploitation, \u00e0 la violence et \u00e0 de profonds traumatismes psychologiques. Leurs histoires restent souvent invisibles, mais leur souffrance, elle, est bien r\u00e9elle.\n\nAujourd\u2019hui, j\u2019ai accompagn\u00e9 l\u2019une des \u00e9quipes mobiles du Croissant-Rouge de Djibouti \u00e0 Dikhil, une ville situ\u00e9e dans la r\u00e9gion de Dikhil, \u00e0 l\u2019ouest de Djibouti, \u00e0 la fronti\u00e8re avec l\u2019\u00c9thiopie. Avant le lever du soleil, les volontaires ont charg\u00e9 les v\u00e9hicules d\u2019eau, de nourriture, de kits d\u2019hygi\u00e8ne et de kits de dignit\u00e9, avant de prendre la route vers le d\u00e9sert. \u00c0 cette p\u00e9riode de l\u2019ann\u00e9e, les temp\u00e9ratures atteignent r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement entre 45 et 47 degr\u00e9s Celsius. Marcher pendant des jours dans de telles conditions est presque inimaginable.\n\n## Ils marchaient depuis huit jours.\n\nNotre premi\u00e8re rencontre a \u00e9t\u00e9 avec un groupe de dix jeunes hommes. Parmi eux se trouvait un gar\u00e7on de quatorze ans. Ils marchaient depuis huit jours. Leurs visages portaient les signes \u00e9vidents de la d\u00e9shydratation, de la faim et de l\u2019\u00e9puisement. Nul besoin de beaucoup de mots pour comprendre ce qu\u2019ils avaient endur\u00e9.\n\nPlus tard, nous avons rencontr\u00e9 un autre groupe : seize ou dix-sept femmes qui marchaient ensemble depuis cinq jours. Elles n\u2019avaient pas commenc\u00e9 leur voyage ensemble ; elles s\u2019\u00e9taient simplement rencontr\u00e9es en chemin. Des inconnues r\u00e9unies par une m\u00eame qu\u00eate d\u2019espoir.\n\nAlors que j\u2019\u00e9coutais leurs histoires, une femme nous a confi\u00e9 \u00e0 voix basse qu\u2019elle avait laiss\u00e9 derri\u00e8re elle sa fille \u00e2g\u00e9e d\u2019un an.\n\nElle n\u2019est pas partie parce qu\u2019elle le voulait. Elle est partie parce qu\u2019elle croyait que, quelque part au bout du chemin, elle aurait peut-\u00eatre la possibilit\u00e9 de construire un avenir meilleur pour son enfant et sa famille.\n\nIl est impossible de ne pas se demander quel espoir peut \u00eatre assez puissant pour pousser une m\u00e8re \u00e0 s\u2019\u00e9loigner de son b\u00e9b\u00e9, convaincue que la s\u00e9paration d\u2019aujourd\u2019hui pourrait ouvrir la voie aux opportunit\u00e9s de demain.\n\nChaque personne que nous avons rencontr\u00e9e portait une histoire diff\u00e9rente. Il n\u2019existe pas de profil unique de personne en mouvement. Certaines fuient les conflits. D\u2019autres la pauvret\u00e9. Certaines sont \u00e0 la recherche d\u2019un emploi. D\u2019autres cherchent simplement \u00e0 survivre.\n\nToutes n\u2019atteindront pas la destination dont elles r\u00eavent. Certaines trouveront du travail \u00e0 Djibouti et d\u00e9cideront d\u2019y rester. D\u2019autres ne pourront pas poursuivre leur voyage. Certaines rentreront chez elles avant de tenter \u00e0 nouveau le m\u00eame p\u00e9riple, deux, trois fois, voire davantage, car l\u2019espoir survit souvent l\u00e0 o\u00f9 les opportunit\u00e9s font d\u00e9faut.\n\nTout au long de ces parcours, le Croissant-Rouge de Djibouti reste l\u2019une des tr\u00e8s rares organisations humanitaires \u00e0 maintenir une pr\u00e9sence constante aupr\u00e8s des personnes en mouvement.\n\n## Nourriture, eau et dignit\u00e9\n\nAvec le soutien de la **Protection civile et des op\u00e9rations d\u2019aide humanitaire europ\u00e9ennes (ECHO)**, de la **Croix-Rouge italienne** et de la **F\u00e9d\u00e9ration internationale des Soci\u00e9t\u00e9s de la Croix-Rouge et du Croissant-Rouge (IFRC),** le personnel et les volontaires du Croissant-Rouge de Djibouti apportent bien plus que de la nourriture et de l\u2019eau. Ils offrent de la dignit\u00e9. Ils offrent de la compassion. Surtout, ils rappellent \u00e0 des personnes souvent oubli\u00e9es qu\u2019elles n\u2019ont pas \u00e9t\u00e9 abandonn\u00e9es.\n\nL\u2019action humanitaire est souvent mesur\u00e9e en chiffres : repas distribu\u00e9s, litres d\u2019eau fournis, personnes assist\u00e9es.\n\nMais cette journ\u00e9e m\u2019a rappel\u00e9 que sa v\u00e9ritable valeur se mesure autrement. Elle se trouve dans le geste d\u2019un volontaire qui offre une bouteille d\u2019eau avant m\u00eame de poser la moindre question. Elle se trouve dans l\u2019\u00e9coute, sans jugement, de l\u2019histoire d\u2019une personne. Elle se trouve dans le fait de reconna\u00eetre l\u2019humanit\u00e9 d\u2019une personne dont le nom n\u2019appara\u00eetra peut-\u00eatre jamais dans un rapport ou dans les gros titres.\n\nLe travail du Croissant-Rouge de Djibouti est remarquable, mais il ne peut se poursuivre sans un soutien durable. Les mouvements migratoires le long de cette route ne sont peut-\u00eatre pas au centre de l\u2019attention mondiale, pourtant les besoins humanitaires sont immenses et ne cessent de cro\u00eetre. Si nous croyons que chaque vie a la m\u00eame valeur, alors notre solidarit\u00e9 ne peut d\u00e9pendre de l\u2019attention qu\u2019une crise suscite ou non dans les m\u00e9dias internationaux.\n\nDans les endroits silencieux du monde, loin des projecteurs, l\u2019humanit\u00e9 continue d\u2019avancer. Le moins que nous puissions faire est de veiller \u00e0 ce qu\u2019elle ne marche jamais seule.","country":[{"id":77,"name":"Djibouti","shortname":"Djibouti","iso3":"dji","location":{"lat":11.75,"lon":42.58},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies"}],"date":{"created":"2026-07-17T12:03:07+00:00"}}},{"id":"4221850","score":1,"fields":{"title":"L\u2019OIM lance un appel de 98 millions de dollars \u00c9.-U. pour soutenir d\u2019urgence la r\u00e9ponse au s\u00e9isme au Venezuela","body":"**Gen\u00e8ve\/Caracas, 17 juillet 2026** \u2013 L\u2019Organisation internationale pour les migrations (OIM) a lanc\u00e9 aujourd\u2019hui un appel de 98 millions de dollars \u00c9.-U. afin de soutenir les familles et les communaut\u00e9s touch\u00e9es par les s\u00e9ismes d\u00e9vastateurs qui ont frapp\u00e9 le Venezuela le 24 juin, provoquant d\u2019importantes pertes en vies humaines, des d\u00e9placements de population et des destructions \u00e0 travers le pays.\n\nL\u2019[**Appel de l\u2019OIM pour la r\u00e9ponse au s\u00e9isme au Venezuela**](https:\/\/reliefweb.int\/report\/venezuela-bolivarian-republic\/iom-venezuela-flash-appeal-2026-earthquake-response-july-december-2026) pr\u00e9sente la r\u00e9ponse de l\u2019Organisation pour les douze prochains mois et sollicite un financement destin\u00e9 \u00e0 fournir des abris s\u00fbrs et dignes, une assistance vitale, un soutien aux efforts de rel\u00e8vement rapide, ainsi qu\u2019\u00e0 aider les communaut\u00e9s touch\u00e9es \u00e0 se reconstruire au cours des mois \u00e0 venir.\n\n\u00ab Le peuple du Venezuela a fait preuve d\u2019une r\u00e9silience remarquable, mais le rel\u00e8vement n\u00e9cessitera du temps et un soutien durable \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Lia Poggio, Cheffe de mission de l\u2019OIM au Venezuela.  \n\u00ab Cet appel contribuera \u00e0 garantir que les familles re\u00e7oivent l\u2019assistance dont elles ont besoin, notamment un lieu o\u00f9 s\u00e9journer, tout en permettant aux communaut\u00e9s de d\u00e9passer la phase d\u2019urgence, de r\u00e9tablir les services essentiels et de jeter les bases d\u2019un rel\u00e8vement s\u00fbr et durable. \u00bb\n\nLes s\u00e9ismes et leurs r\u00e9pliques ont caus\u00e9 d\u2019importants d\u00e9g\u00e2ts dans plusieurs \u00c9tats, notamment La Guaira, le District de la capitale, Miranda, Carabobo, Aragua et Falc\u00f3n.

Many in southern regions spoke about rainfall and promising crop growth and harvests, whilst others particularly in central parts of the country complained of continuing drought and hardships. In some regions or districts, different callers gave differing descriptions of the livelihood conditions they were facing, indicating rain in some places and drought in others. There were numerous calls to the radio about livestock diseases especially affecting goats.\n\nThe following summarises the calls by theme.\n\n**Health** \u2013 a resident of Bardera, Gedo region, called twice expressing concerns over the spread of chikungunya disease that was affecting both the elderly and young people, and even newborn babies.\n\n**IDPs** \u2013 a caller in Dinsoor, Bay region, said he was among IDP families facing food and water shortages. He said they needed aid groups to reach them.\n\n**Nutrition** \u2013 the weekly Radio Ergo programme on this topic attracted several callers with questions for the radio experts. A female caller said that communities in and around Hargeisa followed Radio Ergo\u2019s programmes. She noted a concern about child malnutrition, saying that whenever they visited the nutrition centre in their area, they were told that the centre was out of **nutritional supplements**. She added that people didn\u2019t know if they had run out or were selling the supplements.\n\n**Floods** \u2013 a caller in Jowhar, Middle Shabelle region, said he was among the farmers there whose crops had been lost in recent river flooding.\n\n**Food security** \u2013 a caller in Hobyo, Mudug, said fishermen were struggling to catch fish due to the windy season and families were impoverished and needing help. Another in Kismayo, Lower Juba, said fishermen needed help with boat repairs to improve their livelihoods. On the positive side, a caller in in Yaq-birweyne, Lower Shabelle, said they were seeing an increasing number of people coming there to buy livestock. Several farmers in parts of Hiran and the Shabelle regions said they were doing well. One in Qoryolley, L.Shabelle, called twice to say they were doing well and preparing to harvest maize, beans and gourds. A female caller in War-isse, Middle Shabelle, said their maize, beans and sorghum were ready for harvest. Another in Ferfer, Hiran, also noted good crops of sesame, tomatoes, and watermelons.\n\n**Agriculture** \u2013 among callers to the weekly farming programme, a female caller complained that their sesame seeds had been attacked by pests and were going bad, although the sorghum was doing well. On the other hand, another caller in M. Shabelle said caterpillars were damaging their sorghum plants.\n\n**Livestock** \u2013 among callers to the radio vet programme, a herder in Hiran region said his camels had been infested by '*Dhukan'* parasites that originated from the river banks. He wanted help in treating the camels and getting rid of the parasites. Another in Tulobarwaqo, Galgadud region, said herbal treatments had failed to cure their camels of fungal infections. Many callers in various central and southern parts complained of goat diseases, including measles, CCPP, foot and mouth, and unknown conditions with symptoms including fever, runny noses, coughing, and leg sores.\n\n**Drought and water shortage** \u2013 a female caller in Las-geel, Somaliland, said they were facing severe drought and were losing their livestock. She stated that the people were also short of food. Callers in Erigabo and Baragaha-qol in Sanag spoke respectively of drought and insecurity affecting them, and drought and livestock diseases. A caller in Godob-jiran, Nugal region of Puntland, said there was a water shortage in the area, and people and livestock had overcrowded the remaining water reservoirs. A number called from Abudwak and Guriel in Galmudug. Three female callers in Abudwak said people were short of food and needed aid, goats had no fodder, and many people had migrated away to other areas. A male caller said displaced and vulnerable people there needed help. A caller in Guriel stated that the seasonal rains had failed and they faced drought. A caller in El-habre, in Mokoqori district of Hiran region, said they were praying for rain as they were facing drought and water shortage in the area. In Lower Shabelle, a female caller in Wanlaweyn said they had planted crops five or six times and reaped no harvests due to repeated drought and pests. One caller in Dollow, Gedo, mentioned drought conditions.\n\n**Rainfall** \u2013 in Hiran region, callers spoke of rainfall in Ferfer, Beletweyne, Adaley, and Beer-ado. They said the conditions were beneficial for the livestock and farms. A bigger number of callers across Middle Shabelle mentioned recent rainfall. A female caller in Balano said their livestock had recovered. Another in Balad said they were blessed with water and livestock fodder. Several in Jowhar noted favourable conditions. A caller in Raga-elle said it was raining and they had recovered from the drought, although they hoped they would not return to cycles of drought. In L. Shabelle, a caller in Wanlaweyn said they now had rainfall and water for their farms. In Bay region, callers in Dinsor cited rainfall and crops nearly ready for harvest. In Ufurow, a caller said they were now harvesting. One listener in Sakow, Middle Juba region, called on 11th July to say that it was raining that day and they were doing well. Among a few in Gedo, a caller in Bardera said it was raining and he was currently out with his livestock grazing.","country":[{"id":216,"name":"Somalia","shortname":"Somalia","iso3":"som","location":{"lat":5.79,"lon":47.33},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"Radio Ergo"}],"date":{"created":"2026-07-17T11:52:31+00:00"}}},{"id":"4221845","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Attacks on Health Care in Myanmar: 24 June - 07 July 2026","body":"Data collected by Insecurity Insight shows that since the military coup on 01 February 2021 and 23 June 2026 at least [**1,948 incidents**](https:\/\/us.list-manage.com\/F6UEjwTBFCJ?e=e2fc04a6ae&c2id=2821d00d2df9cfdc1e0140433e086a6f) of violence against or obstruction of access to health care took place across Myanmar:\n\n- **equivalent to one attack on health care every day for more than five years**\n- **65% of these attacks were attributed to the Myanmar Armed Forces (MAF)**\n- **175 health workers were killed and 932 arrested**\n- **health facilities were damaged on at least 510 occasions**\n\nDuring the [**first year**](https:\/\/us.list-manage.com\/IeXDv49Dai6?e=e2fc04a6ae&c2id=2821d00d2df9cfdc1e0140433e086a6f) following the February 2021 military coup, most incidents affecting health care were linked to political protests. Health workers were routinely arrested and MAF frequently raided health facilities in search of pro-democracy health workers or injured protesters. Although these types of incidents have become less frequent since the initial post-coup period, health workers continue to face arrest and detention due to alleged links to the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM), Health facilities are also still raided, in some cases, forcibly closed by the authorities, disrupting access to care and limiting the availability of health services.

The worst-affected areas include Rohingya refugee camps and neighbouring host communities in Cox's Bazar, where nearly one million Rohingya refugees have lived in densely populated camps for almost nine years.\n\nAccording to the Rohingya Coordination Platform (RCP), 15 refugees, including children and women, have died and 22 have been injured. Around 52,800 people have been affected, and 13,055 have been displaced. More than 4,800 residences have been partially damaged and 25 destroyed, leaving thousands of families without safe shelter.\n\nThe floods and landslides have also led to widespread damage of water points, latrines, learning centres, retaining walls, roads and bridges, disrupting access to essential services and increasing protection risks for already vulnerable families.\n\n\"For thousands of Rohingya families, the monsoon is no longer a normal period of the year; it has become another life-threatening emergency,\" said Dipankar Datta, NRC's country director in Bangladesh. \"Rohingyas who fled violence now have to live with the fear that heavy rain could wash away the little safety they have rebuilt. Every year they face the same dangers, yet they remain trapped in shelters, learning centres, and water and sanitation facilities that were never designed to withstand repeated extreme weather.\"\n\nNearly nine years after hundreds of thousands of Rohingya fled, many continue to live in densely populated camps where bamboo-and-tarpaulin shelters cling to steep hillsides. Days of intense rainfall saturate the soil, triggering landslides, flooding and widespread damage to homes and essential infrastructure.\n\nMd. Sayeed, a Rohingya refugee living in Camp 5, said: \"When the rain became heavier, we were afraid the hill would collapse onto our shelter. Many shelters were damaged by landslides and heavy rainfall, including ours.\u201d\n\nAlthough rainfall is expected to ease across parts of Bangladesh, the Bangladesh Meteorological Department continues to forecast heavy rainfall, particularly in Cox\u2019s Bazar, while saturated hillsides remain highly vulnerable to further landslides.\n\nThe emergency comes as the 2026 Joint Response Plan (JRP) faces a funding gap of more than 45 million US dollars for immediate emergency priority activities, including critical shortages in shelter, WASH, protection, education, health and food assistance. These gaps are limiting humanitarian partners' ability to strengthen preparedness, repair damaged infrastructure and provide timely support to families affected by repeated disasters.\n\n\"This emergency shows how climate-related disasters are deepening one of the world's longest-running displacement crises. At a time of severe funding shortfalls, humanitarian organisations have fewer resources to strengthen resilience, protect vulnerable families, and help communities recover. Investing in safer and resilient infrastructures and anticipatory actions today will save lives tomorrow,\" said Datta.\n\n\"No family should have to fear losing everything every time it rains. Whether they are Rohingya refugees or members of the surrounding host communities, people affected by this emergency deserve timely assistance, safer living conditions, and sustained international support to recover and build resilience.\"\n\nHumanitarian organisations are scaling up their life-saving emergency response, but without significantly increased funding, critical life-saving support will fall short of the rapidly escalating needs.\n\n**Notes to editors:**\n\n- Photos are available to download for free use [here](https:\/\/visuals.nrc.no\/pages\/search.php?search=%21collection15246&k=4a6c94245a).\n- Since 5 July 2026, heavy monsoon rainfall has affected an estimated 1.11 million people across 10 districts in Bangladesh, including more than 13,900 persons with disabilities.

The clinic provides essential health services for patients in the region, including primary care, a surgery center, and a birthing ward.\n\nThe effect of Ebola in the region has been indirect on the clinic, but damaging. Clinic staff reported a roughly 20% decline in patient visits early in the outbreak. Many patients, they said, were afraid to enter the health system because of widespread distrust.\n\nThe outbreak, caused by Bundibugyo virus, has led to at least 721 deaths and 1984 cases, according to the DRC and Ugandan Ministries of Health. Cases have been concentrated in the DRC\u2019s Ituri, North Kivu, and South Kivu provinces. The CDC reports this is the DRC\u2019s 17th Ebola outbreak and the third-largest Ebola outbreak on record.\n\nIn Goma, the capital of North Kivu province, the outbreak is unfolding in a city already battered by civil conflict and mass displacement.\n\nIn this Q&A, Dr. Prince Mbuzukongira, a physician and public health specialist at the [Wellness Clinic](https:\/\/jrchc.org\/congo\/), and Chantal Mandro, a nurse and director at the clinic, spoke with Direct Relief about managing patient fears in order to keep infection-control measures in place, and why local trust may be as important to the Ebola response as masks, medicine, testing, and isolation beds.\n\nTheir account shows how an outbreak can impact care even before a clinic sees a single suspected case.\n\n*This interview has been edited for length and clarity.*\n\n**How did the outbreak affect patient visits at the clinic?**\n\n**Dr. Prince Mbuzukongira:** At the beginning, patient visits dropped by about 20 percent. When someone was not extremely sick, they often preferred to stay home.\n\nAround mid-May, there was one Ebola case in Goma. The patient was isolated and survived. That had a positive impact in the community. After people heard that someone could survive, they began coming back.\n\n**How has routine care been affected by the outbreak?**\n\n**Chantal Mandro:** The biggest impact is on people with diseases that can become more dangerous if care is delayed. Malaria, respiratory infections, and typhoid can become more dangerous when people stay home. If someone has fever and headache, it can be malaria, or it can be Ebola. Chronic-disease patients continued to come, but when an outbreak happens, people with chronic diseases are at higher risk.\n\nWe saw a similar problem during coronavirus. Many of the people who died had chronic diseases.\n\nBorder closures also limited access to some essential medicines. We have enough in stock for everyday use, but not if there\u2019s a local outbreak. The medicines we requested from Direct Relief are very useful for poor patients with chronic illnesses, who are numerous here and who are not able to regularly pay for their medicines. These medicines are a great relief for them.\n\n**Why is trust among the population so low when it comes to seeking care during an outbreak?**\n\n**PM:** The response has many branches, but communication with the population is not emphasized enough. When there is an outbreak, people often come from very far away to organize the response. They do not use enough local nurses, local doctors, and local people who have influence in the community. They often come from Kinshasa or other places, and they come with funding.\n\nThat is a problem because some people do not trust medical personnel who come from far away. Communication is one of the biggest challenges in this outbreak. You have to use local people with influence to explain things clearly.\n\nFor example, people need to understand that Ebola can come from contact with infected animals and that eating certain wild animals can be dangerous. But that is not easy to explain to the community. The same is true with burial ceremonies. Some family members became very angry and took their deceased relatives by force.\n\n**CM**: Some people think medical personnel are there because there is money in the outbreak. They worry they will be falsely told they have the disease, or that they will be used as an experiment for a new disease.\n\n**PM:** They are afraid of what may happen to them inside the health system.\n\n**CM:** At the beginning of an outbreak, there is often no organized response. The first cases die. People see that and think there is no help even if they go to the hospital. In Bunia, at the start of this outbreak, many of the people who went for care were dying. Later, a treatment center was organized with international NGOs.\n\n**Beyond communication and trust, what has been missing from this response?**\n\n**CM:** In this new outbreak around Bunia, many things were missing at the beginning: money, setup, medicine, testing, and protective equipment. There was nothing in place.\n\nThere is no easy place to [buy PPE in Congo](https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/healthcare-pharmaceuticals\/no-boots-masks-running-out-why-congos-ebola-medics-are-exposed-2026-06-09\/). We need partners to send it to us. Testing was also a problem. In Bunia, tests had to be sent to Kinshasa, and they could not do more than a small number of tests per day. That is why an outbreak can spread quickly. It is also why many medical personnel died.\n\nIn Goma, the response has been more organized than in some other places. There has been isolation, testing capacity, and a system to control cases. People exposed to cases can be placed in isolation for 21 days.\n\n**CM & PM**: At the entrance to our clinic, we established a temperature-screening point and several handwashing stations. We also restricted gatherings inside the facility. Whenever a suspected case is identified, an alert is immediately issued, and the patient is taken over by the official outbreak response team. To date, however, our facility has not received any Ebola cases.\n\n**CM:** Still, at Wellness Clinic, we do not feel fully prepared. We do not have many masks. Some PPE we received was given to the government and to people at the quarantine center. We have medicine, but not enough if a large epidemic comes. The best way is to have stock ready before the epidemic period so people can use it immediately.\n\n**Without identifying them, can you tell me about one patient or family you cared for recently who stayed with you?**\n\n**CM & PM:** We remember a family that was afraid to visit the health center because they feared being stigmatized. After several discussions with our team, they agreed to seek medical care.\n\nFortunately, the test result came back negative for Ebola after the sample was collected. Instead, the patient was diagnosed with another illness that required prompt treatment. This reminded us of the importance of community awareness and of building trust between communities and healthcare professionals.\n\n**What do you want people outside the DRC to understand about this outbreak?**\n\n**CM:** Ebola does not come to the same towns every time. This is the DRC\u2019s 17th Ebola outbreak, but each outbreak has its own response challenges and its own trust issues.\n\n**PM:** The response must include local doctors, nurses, and trusted community members from the beginning.\n\n**People often hear about crises in eastern Congo. What progress or success do you wish people outside the country knew about?**\n\n**CM & PM**: Despite the many challenges, healthcare professionals and local communities have shown remarkable commitment and, above all, great resilience. Over the years, surveillance, diagnostic, and patient care capacities have improved considerably. Collaboration between health authorities, partners, and communities has made it possible to detect outbreaks earlier and respond more rapidly. These efforts deserve greater recognition.\n\n*Direct Relief\u2019s response to the current Ebola outbreak continues, including continuous shipments of medical aid to support patient care. Direct Relief sent personal protective equipment, oral rehydration salts, chronic-disease medications, antibiotics, and diagnostics to Jericho Road to strengthen ongoing health services and will continue to support health providers reaching patients in the DRC.*","country":[{"id":75,"name":"Democratic Republic of the Congo","shortname":"DR Congo","iso3":"cod","location":{"lat":-4.03833,"lon":21.7587},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"Direct Relief"}],"date":{"created":"2026-07-17T08:58:10+00:00"}}},{"id":"4221818","score":1,"fields":{"title":"MAP aid worker injured and home destroyed as Israeli military attacks intensify across Gaza","body":"**A humanitarian worker with Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) has been injured and his home destroyed in an Israeli military airstrike impacting civilian homes in central Gaza.**\n\nOn the evening of Wednesday 15 July, the Israeli military issued a forced evacuation signal for a location within Al Bureij Camp in the Middle Area of Gaza.

The \u201cYellow Line\u201d continues to be moved further into Gaza by Israeli forces, with the Israeli military now controlling an estimated 70% of the territory. This is forcing Palestinians into ever smaller areas of land and raising serious concerns over de facto annexation of Gaza.\n\nMAP calls for urgent action to ensure the ceasefire is upheld and becomes permanent, and for civilians to be protected in line with international humanitarian law.

Dry weather conditions between October and November 2025 delayed planting operations and reduced planted area in most parts of the country, negatively affecting yield prospects. Although rainfall improved from March 2026 onwards in some parts of the country, precipitation amounts remained significantly below average in the eastern region, particularly in the major cereal producing Al Jabal Al Akhdar province. Total cereal production in 2026 is forecast at about 150 000 tonnes, nearly 20 percent below the five\u2011year average.\n\n## Cereal import requirements in 2026\/27 marketing year forecast above average\n\nCereal import requirements for the 2026\/27 marketing year (July\/June) are forecast at 3.3 million tonnes, nearly 7 percent above the average level. Wheat import requirements, which account for more than 40 percent of the total cereal imports, are forecast at 1.5 million tonnes, about 12 percent above the average, reflecting the country's heavy reliance on imports to meet domestic consumption needs, coupled with the expected below-average wheat production in 2026.\n\n## Food inflation rate increased in 2026\n\n[Food inflation rate ](https:\/\/bsc.ly\/latest-versions\/)increased by about 18 percent year\u2011on\u2011year in May 2026, largely reflecting the depreciation of the Libyan dinar, which weakened by about 15 percent compared to a year earlier and increased the cost of imported food commodities.\n\n## Funding shortfall constrains humanitarian assistance to vulnerable households in 2026\n\nPolitical and economic instability continue to undermine livelihoods and access to essential services. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), more than 110 000 refugees were registered in the country as of April 2026. Humanitarian assistance remains constrained by funding shortages, limiting support to vulnerable groups, including refugees, migrants and internally displaced people.\n\n*Disclaimer: The designations employed and the presentation of material in this information product do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of FAO concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.*\n\n*This brief was prepared using the following data\/tools:*  \n*FAO\/GIEWS Country Cereal Balance Sheet (CCBS)* [*https:\/\/www.fao.org\/giews\/data-tools\/en\/* ](https:\/\/www.fao.org\/giews\/data-tools\/en\/).\n\n*FAO\/GIEWS Food Price Monitoring and Analysis (FPMA) Tool* [*https:\/\/fpma.fao.org\/* ](https:\/\/fpma.fao.org\/).\n\n*FAO\/GIEWS Earth Observation for Crop Monitoring* [*https:\/\/www.fao.org\/giews\/earthobservation\/* ](https:\/\/www.fao.org\/giews\/earthobservation\/).\n\n*Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC)* [*https:\/\/www.ipcinfo.org\/* ](https:\/\/www.ipcinfo.org\/).","country":[{"id":140,"name":"Libya","shortname":"Libya","iso3":"lby","location":{"lat":27.04,"lon":18.02},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations"}],"date":{"created":"2026-07-17T07:05:10+00:00"}}},{"id":"4221808","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Afghanistan: Weekly Market Report: Issue 303: Week 2 \u2013 July 2026","body":"**Key Highlights**\n\nExchange Rate and Trade Dynamics:\n\n\u2022 Exchange Rate: During the second week of July, the Afghani remained broadly stable at AFN 65.7\/USD. However, the Afghani remained 5% stronger than last year and 13% stronger than the three-year average, continuing to help moderate imported inflation despite ongoing external market pressures.\n\n\u2022 Trade: Market supply remained generally adequate, supported by domestic harvests and continued regional trade. However, Afghanistan's heavy reliance on imported goods continues to expose domestic markets to fluctuations in the exchange rate, fuel prices, and regional trade conditions, contributing to price volatility and maintaining the country's vulnerability to external shocks.\n\nFood Items:\n\n\u2022 National average food prices remained relatively stable during the second week of July, with only modest weekly movements across most staple commodities.\n\n\u2022 Wheat and Flour: Wheat grain prices declined slightly (-0.7%) during the week, while both high-price and low-price wheat flour remained broadly stable. Compared to last year, wheat grain (+12%), high-price flour (+7%), and lowprice flour (+11%) remained above their year-ago levels, reflecting sustained production and transportation costs.\n\n\u2022 Rice: Both rice categories declined slightly during the week. Nevertheless, high-price and low-price rice remained 26% and 33% higher than last year, respectively, and above their three-year average levels.\n\n\u2022 Other Staples: Cooking oil increased by 1.4% during the week, while pulses (-0.2%) and salt (-0.1%) declined marginally. Sugar increased by 0.8%. Compared to last year, cooking oil (+3%), sugar (+10%), and salt (+8%) remained higher, whereas pulse prices were 13% lower than a year earlier. \u2022 Vegetables: Vegetable prices showed mixed seasonal movements. Potato prices increased by 3.3%, while tomato and onion prices declined by 1.9% and 7.1%, respectively. Compared to last year, tomato (+34%) and potato (+51%) prices remained significantly higher, while onion prices were 10% lower, reflecting improved seasonal availability.\n\nNon-Food Items:\n\n\u2022 Fuel: Diesel prices continued its upward momentum and increased by 5.3% during the week, reflecting higher International oil prices and continued supply constraints from Russia. Compared to last year and the three-year average, diesel prices remained 15% and 18% higher, respectively.\n\n\u2022 Fertilizers: Fertilizer prices remained largely stable during the week, with DAP declining (-0.3%) and Urea increasing slightly (+0.1%). Compared to last year, DAP (+17%) and Urea (+49%) remained considerably higher, while improved seed (-2%) and animal feed (-7%) remained below last year's levels.\n\n\u2022 Livestock: The price of a one-year-old live female sheep declined marginally (-1.0%) during the week and remained 6% below last year's level and 3% below the three-year average, contributing to weaker pastoralist ToT.\n\nLabour Market:\n\n\u2022 Labour market conditions remained weak. The unskilled labour wage declined marginally (-0.8%), while labour availability improved to 2.0 days\/week (+3.0%). Despite this improvement, labour availability remained 15% below both last year and the three-year average, indicating continued pressure on household income opportunities.","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":"2026-07-17T07:00:01+00:00"}}},{"id":"4221807","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Start Fund Bangladesh Response - Flash Floods and Landslides in Bangladesh, 13 Jul 2026","country":[{"id":31,"name":"Bangladesh","shortname":"Bangladesh","iso3":"bgd","location":{"lat":23.84,"lon":90.27},"primary":true},{"id":165,"name":"Myanmar","shortname":"Myanmar","iso3":"mmr","location":{"lat":21.15,"lon":96.51}}],"source":[{"name":"Start Network"}],"date":{"created":"2026-07-17T05:23:42+00:00"}}},{"id":"4221806","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Lebanon Cash Working Group: Situation Report #3 (Reporting period: 16 May to 30 June 2026)","body":"**Situation Overview**\n\nDuring the reporting period, displacement declined as returns accelerated, although conditions remained volatile  \nand uneven.

It stemmed from the dismissal of Prime Minister Patrice Trovoada by President Carlos Vila Nova, which deepened divisions within the ADI and reinforced political polarization. This polarization was amplified by the June 2026 rejection of Nino Monteiro's candidacy, fueling debate and disputes around the electoral process. Following these events, since mid-June 2026, information gathered by the National Society's branches shows the electoral context evolving from a low risk level to a moderate risk level, marked by calls for mobilization, hate speech, political clashes, and several incidents requiring police intervention. Although localized and limited in scale, these events demonstrate an escalating dynamic and the ability of certain influential political actors to rapidly mobilize their supporters, particularly young people. Persistent socio-economic frustrations including the rising cost of living, youth unemployment, power outages, and fuel shortages are also fueling public discontent and encouraging mobilization around political grievances.\n\nBased on both recent and historical events, and in consultation with various actors in the country and community groups, the current electoral context presents a moderate risk level higher than the low-risk scenario anticipated at the start of the year, but lower than the worst-case scenario observed in 2022. This justifies the need for the National Society to prepare and, in the event of an alert, to mount an immediate first-response intervention centered on the presidential phase of the elections, following the calendar below. For the 19 July 2026 presidential election, the main dates on the electoral calendar are as follows:\n\n\u25cf 4 June 2026: deadline for filing and official registration of candidacies for the presidential election  \n \u25cf 4 July 2026: start of the presidential election campaign.  \n \u25cf 19 July 2026: presidential polling day (results date to be confirmed later)\n\nRegarding the legislative, regional, and local elections scheduled for September 2026, the main dates are:\n\n\u25cf 10 September 2026: start of the election campaign  \n \u25cf 27 September 2026: legislative, regional, and local polling day\n\nAlthough the concentration of several electoral deadlines within a relatively short period could increase political mobilization and population movements linked to campaign activities and voting operations, the measures supported by this DREF are calibrated to a moderate-risk scenario and are, for now, limited to the presidential election.

Quinze ans plus tard, de nombreuses communaut\u00e9s continuent de subir, au quotidien, les cons\u00e9quences du conflit, de la violence, des d\u00e9placements, de l\u2019ins\u00e9curit\u00e9 alimentaire et des chocs climatiques.\n\nLa situation humanitaire s\u2019est encore aggrav\u00e9e ces derniers mois.

Quince a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s, muchas comunidades contin\u00faan enfrentando las consecuencias diarias del conflicto armado, la violencia, los desplazamientos, la inseguridad alimentaria y las perturbaciones clim\u00e1ticas.\n\nLa situaci\u00f3n humanitaria se ha vuelto m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil en los \u00faltimos meses. Debido a que los enfrentamientos se reanudaron a fines de 2025, miles de familias se han visto forzadas a huir de sus hogares, sus medios de subsistencia se han alterado y el acceso a los cuidados de salud se ha reducido. Al mismo tiempo, la llegada de personas que huyen del conflicto armado en Sud\u00e1n, as\u00ed como la reducci\u00f3n del financiamiento humanitario, est\u00e1n agregando presi\u00f3n a los servicios que ya est\u00e1n saturados.

La mayor\u00eda son trasladados por aire al Hospital Militar de Yuba, uno de los principales centros de referencia para cirug\u00eda de guerra.\n\nEl aumento en la cantidad de v\u00edctimas ha generado una enorme presi\u00f3n en los servicios de cirug\u00eda.

Outside camps, homes, roads, bridges, schools and other public infrastructure have been severely damaged, disrupting livelihoods and restraining access to essential services.\n\nAs Co-Chair of the Displacement Management Cluster (DMC), IOM swiftly coordinated with cluster partners to identify the needs of affected communities and develop a plan for prioritized interventions.\n\nIn coordination with the Government of Bangladesh, the Refugee Relief and Repatriation Commissioner, district authorities and humanitarian partners, IOM has deployed emergency teams across affected areas. Emergency shelter assistance is being provided to households with damaged shelters, while relocation support is helping families move away from high-risk slopes and other unsafe areas.\n\nDespite difficult conditions, IOM is maintaining essential services.

In Area C and East Jerusalem, schools operate within a restrictive planning regime, where obtaining Israeli-issued building permits is highly challenging, leaving many education facilities vulnerable to demolition, stop-work orders, and other measures affecting their continued operation. Movement restrictions, Israeli forces' operations, demolitions, and recurrent settler violence continue to disrupt access to education and affect the learning environment for students and teachers. According to the Education Cluster, these factors have undermined access to safe and quality education for more than 834,000 school-aged children across the West Bank, exacerbating a crisis that predates October 2023. Students and teachers continue to face physical obstacles, checkpoint delays, movement restrictions, and rising transportation costs, while schools in vulnerable communities remain at risk of disruption to their infrastructure and operations.\n\n**Recent developments and key issues highlighted in this report include:**\n\n- **Schools located east of Khallet al Maiyya Municipality along Road 356:** The imminent risk of demolition of Ar Rifa'iyya Mixed Basic School, alongside concerns that a proposed new settlement road may affect schools in the Ad Deirat\u2013Ar Rifa\u2019iyya area, placing education services and significant investments in education infrastructure at risk.\n- **Yanoun Co-educational School:** The demolition of Yanoun Co-educational School following the displacement of its community, illustrating the severe impact of displacement and insecurity on children\u2019s access to education.\n- **Abandoned school buildings in displaced communities:** The growing number of abandoned schools in communities affected by recurrent settler attacks and displacement, resulting in the loss of education services and disruption to children\u2019s learning.\n- **Schools at risk of demolition:** Increasing legal and administrative measures affecting schools at risk of demolition, including enforcement proceedings against schools in Area C, and the continued vulnerability of education infrastructure under the restrictive planning regime.\n- **Attacks on Education: Trends and Impact:** Broader patterns of education-related violations, including attacks on schools, access restrictions, movement constraints, and their cumulative impact on students, teachers, and continuity of learning.\n- **Legal and Human Rights Context:** The applicable international legal framework protecting the right to education and safeguarding schools, students, and education personnel.\n- **Recommended Actions (Advocacy):** Key actions required to protect education infrastructure, safeguard governmental, UNRWA, and donor-funded investments in education, and ensure safe and sustained access to education for affected children.\n\nThe cases presented in this report illustrate interconnected risks affecting protection of education in the West Bank. They reflect the combined impact of the restrictive planning regime in Area C and East Jerusalem, demolition orders, attacks on schools, and community displacement, disrupting children's access to education.

For many families, getting water meant walking long distances and spending hours each day on the task. The northern conflict further worsened the situation by damaging already existing water supply systems.\n\nThe Agora water point in Embawork village\n\nFor years, that search defined Tibletse Heluf\u2019s life. She collected water from a river more than two hours away. The journey was difficult, especially during the rainy season when the road became slippery and unsafe. Even after reaching the river, there was no certainty of getting water. At times, flooding made it impossible to collect any, and she would return home with empty jerrycans.\n\nThe time spent fetching water affected her daily life.\n\nIt was not only the distance,\u201d Tibletse explains. \u201cWe also waited in long queues for hours.\n\nWhile I was there, I kept thinking about my children and the work I had left at home.\u201d On most trips, she carried two jerrycans, but this was often not enough, forcing her to make a second journey.\n\nTibletse Heluf fetching water at the rehablitated water point.\n\nBut the hardest burden wasn\u2019t the distance or the exhaustion, it was watching her children fall ill. The river water was not safe, and her children frequently became sick with diarrhea and vomiting. As a subsistence farmer with little income, covering medical expenses was difficult.\n\n\u201cI was very worried when they got sick,\u201d she says quietly. \u201cI didn\u2019t have money for the hospital.\n\nWhen it was serious, I borrowed from neighbors.\u201d\n\nEven then, relief was temporary. The same water that made them sick was the only water they had.\n\nAt the beginning of 2026, the Agora water point, which had been damaged during the conflict, was rehabilitated and restored to full functionality by Action Against Hunger with financial support from the European Union. The water source significantly reduced the time and effort needed to collect water. Tibletse now walks about five minutes to access clean and safe water, which is available throughout the day.\n\nA child enjoying the water at the rehabilitated water point.\n\nThis has made a noticeable difference in her routine. Her children are healthier. Her days are no longer consumed by the search for water. She can cook on time, care for her home, and, most importantly, be present for her children. \u201cI am happy now,\u201d she says, smiling. \u201cI can send my children to school on time. I only wish this had come sooner.\u201d\n\nThe Agora water point is more than a source of water, it is a shared responsibility. A committee of seven community members manages its use, collecting small fees and ensuring it remains functional. Among them is Letebirhan Wubet, who understands deeply what this change means.\n\nLetebirhan Wubet talks with Tibletse about the rehabilitated water point.\n\nShe recalls how her mother used to leave home early in the morning to fetch water and return hours later, exhausted. \u201cI remember my mom leaving the house at 2 a.m. to fetch water and coming back home at 10 a.m. I always felt worried when I saw her tired face. I wish I had been big enough to help her,\u201d she said.\n\nNow, her mother only needs a few minutes to collect water.\n\nLetebirhan is a graduate in water technology. She contributes her skills to support the system and raise awareness about hygiene and illness caused by drinking dirty water. \u201cI am proud to serve my community,\u201d she says.\n\nIn the arid lands of Emba Rufael kebele, the Agora water supply is a symbol of hope and livelihood for the community. It serves around 1400 people, improving access to clean water and reducing the challenges families previously faced. In Abergelle Woreda, Yichela town, Action Against Hunger with the European Union funding, supported the rehabilitation of 10 water points and the minor maintenance of 38 others, ensuring that more communities regained reliable access to safe water and improved their daily living conditions.","country":[{"id":87,"name":"Ethiopia","shortname":"Ethiopia","iso3":"eth","location":{"lat":8.63,"lon":39.62},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"Action Against Hunger"}],"date":{"created":"2026-07-16T16:03:08+00:00"}}},{"id":"4221763","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Central African Republic: Situation Report No. 76, as of 14 July, 2026","body":"**HIGHLIGHTS**\n\n- The United Nations Emergency Fund allocates US$1 million to support the cholera response\n- More than 500 people were preventively displaced in Z\u00e9mio\n- Nana-Gribizi: 3,000 returnee households receive seeds to help restore their livelihoods.\n\n**GENERAL CONTEXT**\n\nHaut-Mbomou and Mbomou Prefectures \u2013 South-East\n\n- On 11 July, an estimated 210 households, 531 people, were preventively displaced, as a preventive measure, from Guinikoumba village, located 70 km from Zemio, to Dembia, 65 km from Rafa\u00ef, across the Ouara river. The movement was driven by fears of a possible attack by armed elements. While some displaced people are being hosted by local families, others are sheltering in makeshift structures, exposing them to harsh weather conditions. Initial assessments indicate humanitarian needs across multiple sectors, including emergency shelter, non-food items, food, health, and water, sanitation and hygiene. Efforts are ongoing to mobilize resources and provide emergency assistance to affected people.\n\n**HUMANITARIAN NEEDS AND RESPONSE**\n\n**Multi-sector**\n\nVakaga Prefecture \u2013 North-East\n\n- The humanitarian response in Am-Dafock is ongoing following the armed violence that occurred in late June, including through the deployment of mobile clinics and the provision of safe drinking water. However, the delivery of humanitarian assistance remains severely constrained. Due to the impassability of the road linking Birao and Am-Dafock during the rainy season, air transport is currently the only viable option. More than 20 tons of humanitarian supplies remain in Birao awaiting transport to Am-Dafock. With MINUSCA support, the first helicopter rotation transporting humanitarian cargo was conducted on 4 July. However, the helicopter\u2019s limited capacity, estimated at two tons per rotation, means that moving the required volumes will take time and may slow the delivery of assistance.\n\n**Health**\n\nCountrywide\n\n- The Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) has allocated US$1 million to support urgent efforts to contain the cholera outbreak in the Central African Republic (CAR). This funding will support rapid interventions for 88,700 people in affected and high-risk areas. It will strengthen epidemiological surveillance, case management, risk communication, and community engagement, while improving access to safe drinking water, sanitation services, and hygiene measures to reduce mortality and curb the spread of the disease. Between 7 and 9 July, 17 new suspected cholera cases, including two deaths, were reported. Since the outbreak was declared on 26 June, a total of 436 suspected cases and 36 deaths have been recorded, including nine deaths in health facilities and 27 deaths in communities. Children under the age of 10 remain the most affected age group, accounting for 44 per cent of all reported cases. As of 9 July, the outbreak affected three health districts, Bangui 2, Bimbo and Mba\u00efki, with the peak of transmission observed on 24 June. The most affected localities are Mongo, Ngbango, Mondoli, S\u00e9dal\u00e9, Bobassa 2, Mok\u00e9lo, Mozan, Bouka, Modal\u00e9 and Zinga. Bimbo health district has recorded the highest case fatality rate among the affected areas. With limited resources, the Government, in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO), has strengthened epidemiological surveillance in health facilities and communities, enhanced clinical case management through cholera treatment units, and scaled up risk communication and community engagement activities. Daily coordination meetings are being held to monitor the evolution of the outbreak and the implementation of response activities, while resource mobilization efforts continue. UNICEF teams are disinfecting households affected by cholera while continuing water treatment activities to ensure communities have access to safe drinking water. At the same time, handwashing kits are being distributed to vulnerable populations to promote hygiene practices at the community level. UNICEF is also continuing the construction of emergency latrines, contributing to improved sanitation conditions and reducing the risk of disease transmission. The response continues to face several major challenges, including low adoption of basic hygiene practices by communities, inadequate access to safe water sources, the continued practice of open defecation in riverside villages, and difficult access to affected localities, all of which hamper the effective implementation of disease prevention and control measures.","country":[{"id":54,"name":"Central African Republic","shortname":"CAR","iso3":"caf","location":{"lat":6.57,"lon":20.48},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs"}],"date":{"created":"2026-07-16T15:26:11+00:00"}}},{"id":"4221762","score":1,"fields":{"title":"R\u00e9publique centrafricaine : Rapport de situation N\u00b076, au 14 juillet 2026","body":"**FAITS SAILLANTS**\n\n- Le Fonds d\u2019urgence des Nations Unies alloue 1 million de dollars \u00e0 la r\u00e9ponse chol\u00e9ra\n- Plus de 500 personnes d\u00e9plac\u00e9es pr\u00e9ventivement de Z\u00e9mio\n- Nana-Gribizi: 3 000 m\u00e9nages retourn\u00e9s re\u00e7oivent des semences pour relancer leurs moyens d\u2019existence\n\n**CONTEXTE GENERAL**\n\nPr\u00e9fectures du Haut-Mbomou et Mbomou \u2013 Sud-Est\n\n- Environ 210 m\u00e9nages, soit 531 personnes, se sont d\u00e9plac\u00e9s le 11 juillet de mani\u00e8re pr\u00e9ventive du village de Guinikoumba, situ\u00e9 \u00e0 70 km de Zemio, vers Dembia, \u00e0 65 km de Rafa\u00ef, de l\u2019autre c\u00f4t\u00e9 de la rivi\u00e8re Ouara.

By training public health professionals to collect, analyse and act on health data, FETP supports faster responses, helping protect families and communities in Syria and \u2013 because infectious diseases can spread beyond borders \u2013 across the Region.\n\nThe latest cohort brings together 37 public health professionals \u2013 25 residents and 12 mentors \u2013 from 14 governorates. Participants receive practical, competency-based training in disease surveillance, outbreak investigation, data analysis, rapid response and the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in public health.\n\nThe integration of AI into the curriculum is a key feature of this second cohort. Participants are learning how AI-assisted tools can help analyse health data, identify signals that may require further investigation and support faster, evidence-informed decision-making. These tools complement, rather than replace, epidemiological expertise and public health judgement.\n\nThe Programme combines classroom instruction with field-based learning, allowing participants to apply surveillance and response skills in their communities to strengthen early detection and investigation of public health threats. To support national ownership and sustainability, the training is being delivered by Syrian facilitators who have been prepared to lead future FETP cohorts and contribute to the Programme\u2019s long-term institutionalization.\n\nThe FETP is implemented through ongoing collaboration among WHO, the Syrian Ministry of Health and the Eastern Mediterranean Public Health Network (EMPHNET). It supports the recovery of Syria\u2019s health system by building national capacity to detect, investigate and respond to public health threats. The programme is also supported by the Schmidt Initiative for Long Covid and the European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO).\n\nFETPs are competency-based training and service programmes that equip health workers with practical epidemiology skills through on-the-job mentorship and training. Participants work within active public health teams and apply their training to current health priorities, strengthening programme delivery while building lasting institutional capacity.\n\nRead about the first cohort of the Field Epidemiology Training Programme in Syria: [WHO EMRO \u2013 Strengthening Health Preparedness in Syria: First Frontline FETP Cohort Graduates](https:\/\/www.emro.who.int\/syria\/news\/strengthening-health-preparedness-in-syria-first-frontline-fetp-cohort-graduates.html)","country":[{"id":226,"name":"Syrian Arab Republic","shortname":"Syria","iso3":"syr","location":{"lat":35.01,"lon":38.51},"primary":true}],"source":[{"name":"World Health Organization"}],"date":{"created":"2026-07-16T14:21:19+00:00"}}},{"id":"4221747","score":1,"fields":{"title":"Strengthening Provincial Coherence Between Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction and Management for Inclusive and Resilient Development in Nepal","body":"**Policy actions and recommendations:**\n\n1\\.
