International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC’s Post

In the midst of the brutality & genocide in Palestine by the illegal state of israel, we must never forget the crisis that is enveloping Sudan: HIGHLIGHTS (3 weeks ago). ∆. More than 8.8 million people fled their homes since mid-April 2023. ∆. Access to food remains the priority need of IDPs (internally displaced persons) followed by healthcare, water, and sanitation services, particularly across the Darfur and Kordofan regions. ∆. Rising levels of hunger and severe acute malnutrition are anticipated to result in increasing levels of hunger-related mortality in the coming months. ∆. Since 15 April 2023, ACLED (Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project) has recorded 15,550 reported fatalities in Sudan, and over 1,400 violent events targeting civilians across the country since the war began. ∆. In March and April, some 860,000 people did not receive humanitarian aid in Kordofan, Darfur and Khartoum due to violence as well as bureaucratic and administrative impediments.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) Southern Africa has released a report detailing the catastrophic impact of the ongoing conflict in Sudan. Civilians are facing indiscriminate violence, and health workers and facilities are under relentless attack. Hospitals have been looted, markets bombed, and homes destroyed, with over 10 million people displaced since April 2023. This report underscores the urgent need for international awareness and action to protect civilians and support humanitarian missions. The human cost of this conflict is immense, and we must not turn a blind eye: https://ow.ly/KWTw50SJc44

The Sahel region is in flux. It has witnessed political instability and security challenges with coups and conflicts in Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Sudan. The disruption of security arrangements and the closure of civil society spaces pose significant challenges. How can civil society work in this volatile environment? And what, if anything, can large donor bodies like the European Union do to help? Written by Bram Posthumus, read more below https://lnkd.in/dEGsz7ng #journalismforsocialchange

Did you know both #Gaza and #Sudan are at risk of having #Famine officially declared? This article on BBC following the UN Security Council meeting yesterday highlights in simple language how exceptional and how bad a situation for an official famine declaration has to be. In short, Famine is declared when IPC Phase 5 (the food security classification for Catastrophe) isn't just on household level but for a whole area, i.e. - at least 20% of the population is in an area has famine conditions - one out of three children is acutely malnourished - two people dying per day for every 10,000 inhabitants due to outright starvation or to the interaction of malnutrition and disease. BBC also lists previous official famines that include South Sudan in 2017, southern Somalia in 2011, southern Sudan in 2008, Gode in the Somali region of Ethiopia in 2000, North Korea in 1996, Somalia in 1991-1992 and Ethiopia in 1984-1985. Were people not outright shocked back then what happened? You can read the whole article also to learn more what humanitarian actors are trying to do right now to avert this before it's too late #hunger https://lnkd.in/ezWDag79

'LIVE' Noon briefing by Farhan Haq, Deputy Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: Gaza Occupied Palestinian Territory Yemen Syria Venezuela Afghanistan Democratic Republic of the Congo Mpox GAZA Volker Türk, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, said that today marks a grim milestone for the world with 40,000 Palestinian lives officially confirmed to have been lost, according to Gaza’s health ministry. Most of the dead are women and children. This unimaginable situation, he said, is overwhelmingly due to recurring failures by the Israeli Defense Forces to comply with the rules of war. Mr. Türk said that on average, about 130 people have been killed every day in Gaza over the past 10 months. He added that the Human Rights Office has documented serious violations of international humanitarian law by both the Israeli military and Palestinian armed groups, including the armed wing of Hamas. OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says that hostilities and recurrent evacuation orders are driving a seemingly endless cycle of displacement – and making it increasingly difficult for people to access the humanitarian assistance they need to survive after 10 months of war. To give an example of the conditions in which people live now in Gaza, our teams were able to access two sites in Khan Younis today. In addition to the difficulties getting to markets, the lack of food and high prices, families explained to our colleagues that due to the absence of cleaning and hygiene products, they are getting skin infections, particularly affecting their children. #ceasefirenow #stopthegenocide #breakthesilence #civildesobedience https://lnkd.in/e_iQ9Yqn

Around 90,000 displaced people who had already fled their homes once lived in this camp in Zalingei in Central Darfur. Back in October and November, when the conflict that’s gripping Sudan reached the camp, these people faced indescribable atrocities. Many of them fled for their lives. Those that remain now have no access to water or basic necessities. There is no food distribution from aid organizations that can help them. Like many communities affected by the year-long conflict in Sudan, the people in Zalingei have no access to advanced health care, and there is no referral system in place. Our emergency teams have worked to rehabilitate the town’s hospital, which is the only one providing advanced health care in the whole of Central Darfur. But the needs are immense.  These people need so much help, and the help just isn’t coming. Right now, it’s incredibly difficult to deliver humanitarian aid in Sudan — but it’s not impossible. #TalkAboutSudan https://lnkd.in/eET3D2pX

The spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip, Dr. Ashraf Al-Qudra, announced that the number of martyrs from malnutrition and dehydration had increased to 20 as the starvation crisis against the people of the Gaza Strip worsened. In this regard, "using food as a weapon and starving civilians is a war crime and genocide," as confirmed by Qatar's envoy to the UN in Geneva. #GlobalParentsMonth #ghft #givinghopeforthem #ngo #gaza #Gazal #gazalifestyle #gazacity #gazanation #gazastrip #gazapizm #Gazabarstars #gazamiseh #GAZANIA #GazaUnderAttack #gazaunderattacks #gazazoo #Gazaway #gazals #GazaInTheDark #gazali #GazalaKhwaja #Gazastyle #gazageneral #gazagyal #gazagovt #GazaFamily #gazaniatomentosa #gazantiep #gazapizmsokakt

I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE INFANT DEMOCRATIC-CAPITALISTIC MINDS OF TODAY BLAME THE USA GOVERNMENT. THAT SAID THEN IS ANY GOVERNMENT TO BE BLAMED FOR THE HOMELESS PROBLEMS PLAGUING THE WORLD.?... NO. GOD KNOWS ALL THE HEADACHES USA GOVERNMENT HAVE WITH THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS. THE NEW WORLD IS PRACTICALLY A SHOCK TO WITNESS. PEOPLE "ONLY WORKING" TOGETHER FOR A COMMON GOAL... "IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS." THUS DOESN'T THAT ALSO INCLUDE THE HOMELESS. THE HOMELESS ARE OUT THERE... ARE YOU.? HOMELESS A OPPORTUNITY MISUNDERSTOOD..... The modern economic system is a market economy, which is a capitalist economy where people, not the government--NOT THE GOVERNMENT--own most businesses. In a capitalist economy, prices allocate capital and labor between competing uses, and capital assets like factories, mines, and railroads can be privately owned and controlled. https://lnkd.in/eB98Jnv9 GOOGLE. EXAMPLE, IF YOU NEED TO RAISE MONEY FOR ANY REASON OR MORE SO LETS SAY THE "HOMELESS" PROBLEM WHICH IS BELIEVED TO BE TIME & MONEY CONSUMING BUT IN ONE DIRECTION TOWARD THE HOMELESS. HOWEVER CRYPTOCURRENCY CAN POSSIBLE ALLOWS AN EXPENDITURE OF CURRENCY TO BENEFIT ALL WHO USES THE CRYPTO & REGARDLESS OF HOW IT'S CONSUMED.
