"The focus of our congress was not to speak about us, but it was about our duty and our work in order to achieve a unique objective, which is to adequately support people and communities in need. Undeniably, we live in troubled times. It's a transitional world where we are faced with a new normal that challenges our values and principles. International humanitarian law is eroding, but it remains our only tool and we must fight for it. We must be more political aware, and we must say no when we have to. We must have internal clarity on our red lines and the way we address the politicisation of aid; we need to address the failure of politics and its impact on the humanitarian community. We must invest in local leadership and the implementation of IHL principles. But first, we must put our own humanitarian house in order. We must be humble and not overestimate ourselves. We must improve our level of analysis. Our mandate is limited, and we are not the solution to every problem. But we need to keep working with passion. Which is a key word not to forget if you are a humanitarian". Kostas Moschochoritis, INTERSOS Director General

Hours ago, an Israeli airstrike in Wardaniyeh, a city located in the western part of the Chouf District in Lebanon, hit a hotel hosting displaced people. According to the Public Health Emergency Operations Center of the Health Ministry, 4 people were killed and 10 more injured. INTERSOS is currently supporting 240 IDPs in this village through emergency distributions. We are witnessing in Lebanon the same pattern of disregard for civilians’ life as in Gaza. Such flagrant violations of IHL cannot be tolerated.

The third edition of the Humanitarian Congress will take place on the 11th of October at the Auditorium Ara Pacis in Rome. This event will be a unique opportunity to discuss together the key challenges facing the humanitarian system and to find new solutions. We will discuss with experts, researchers and practitioners the difficulties of our work in an increasingly complex global context. It will be an essential moment of dialogue and confrontation for all those who believe in the importance of finding concrete answers to the needs of the people we assist Register now and join us https://lnkd.in/dEA2JUNQ

Despite the media broadcasting this unprecedented human suffering live to the world and the recent UN General Assembly resolution demanding the implementation of the recommendations of the International Court of Justice, the powers that could end this do not seem to take notice. Worse still, we are now witnessing a major regional military escalation. The death toll in Lebanon has already exceeded 2,000, while over 9,500 people are injured. According to the Lebanese government, 1.2 million people are estimated to have fled their homes to save their lives from heavy bombardments. INTERSOS remains committed to intervening in its capacities, as we are doing now in Lebanon, where we are currently providing emergency cash assistance for protection, non-food items and dignity kits, as well as supporting displaced populations in collective shelters. It is high time for all states to reaffirm their commitment to respect the Internatination Humanitarian Law Violence must stop immediately. An immediate ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon must be agreed upon.

One year after the deadliest attack in Israel’s history, war has brought incomprehensible suffering to populations in Gaza and the region. The ongoing escalation impacting the region is already having a dramatic and intolerable impact on civilians, with war spreading into Lebanon and, to a lesser extent, Syria and Yemen.
