We are appalled by the catastrophic loss of life in Gaza and escalating violence in the West Bank. Gaza is the most dangerous place to be an aid worker. Despite huge challenges, our partners are delivering essential aid but their work is being hampered by evacuation orders. More from our Country Programme Representative for the Middle East, Elizabeth Funnell. ⤵️

We are deeply concerned about the escalating violence against Rohingya civilians along the Myanmar-Bangladesh border. Thousands are fleeing to overcrowded camps in Cox’s Bazar, where resources are stretched thin. With nearly one million refugees now in Bangladesh, the need for international support has never been more urgent. The international 2024 Joint Response Plan is only 35% funded, leaving a $554 million gap. This shortfall is leading to severe hunger and placing an unfair burden on Bangladesh. CAFOD, in partnership with Caritas Bangladesh, is providing essential services, but more sustainable support is required from the international community. https://lnkd.in/edd6vxdV #RohingyaCrisis #HumanitarianAid

CAFOD reposted this
I’ve been at Westminster Abbey this evening for the powerful reflection and service to remember this aid workers who have been killed in the course of their duty. So many, of course are local, national staff who serve their communities like CAFOD partners. They or their communities should not be targets.

On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we honour the efforts of all aid workers and condemn the dangers they currently face. 2023 was the deadliest year on record with 280 tragic deaths. Aid workers are #NotATarget and International Humanitarian Law must be upheld so they can work safely. #ActForHumanity
