Working in around 40 countries worldwide, The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) helps #refugees, internally displaced people (IDPs) and asylum seekers.
A new report by DRC and PARC, based on a survey conducted in the West Bank, warns of intensifying attacks by both settlers and the Israeli military. Communities are routinely targeted—constituting grave breaches of international humanitarian law : brnw.ch/21wX1vL

Escalating violence in El Fasher puts 260K civilians at risk after 2 yrs of siege. Nearly 3K fled in 36 hrs—mostly women & children. Humanitarian access is urgent. Attacks must stop.

At @aa-stabilisiert.bsky.social meeting, DRC shared insights from #Afghanistan, urging adherence to humanitarian principles. Over 2M returnees from Iran & Pakistan need long-term support—livelihoods, climate resilience & recovery—led by communities themselves.

Honoured to join PARC at the @aa-stabilisiert.bsky.social talks on humanitarian priorities. We shared how integrated aid in Gaza—led by local partners—can reach more people, use resources better, and build trust, dignity, and resilience even in the toughest conditions.

With this ceasefire, the Danish Refugee Council calls for political will and concrete action to ensure access and protection for civilians.

The ceasefire is only a first step. Gaza cannot recover under siege, and Palestinians cannot heal without justice.

Our staff were in #Gaza City last week and the conditions they witnessed are catastrophic.

With winter approaching, bringing cold and rain, urgent action is required. A rapid and substantial scale-up of humanitarian assistance is desperately needed.

🛑 Israel’s mass evacuation order is forcing desperate and starving Palestinians in Gaza to flee once again.

🔉Our staff report overcrowding in displacement sites, a severe lack of food, non-food items and tents and a large increase in family separations.

1 year after the escalation of hostilities in #Lebanon, Israeli military operations continue daily in the south - despite the ceasefire agreement of 27.11.2024.

Israel has ordered the mass displacement of the entire Gaza City - 800,000 starved, bombed, and uprooted Palestinian people must flee with nowhere safe to go.

This breach of international law demands urgent global action before Gaza city is erased and the death toll soars even higher 🔗 rb.gy/ksreng

We demand an end to this man-made famine and use of starvation a weapon of war by Israeli authorities. The answer is simple, let in principled humanitarian aid at scale. The world can no longer watch without acting as this catastrophe unfolds + the Palestinian people continue to suffer

On 20 August 2025, the Ashan Falasteen site in Gaza City, managed by DRC and our partner FAFD, was hit by Israel.

DRC is extremely worried about the launch of a large scale offensive by Israeli forces in Gaza City and the continuous targeting of civilians and displacement sites.

To those with power and influence.

Last year, we called on you to act:
🔴Respect the rules of war.
🔴Protect humanitarians and civilians.
🔴End impunity.

Nothing changed.

How much more suffering will you ignore?

On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we urge you to #ActForHumanity – now.

The new Israel’s registration rule unlawfully requires INGO to submit sensitive data, including Palestinian staff and donors details. It is not only a serious obstruction to the delivery of aid – it is unsafe, violates humanitarian principles and must be stopped brnw.ch/21wUW0I

A new front has opened in the world’s most devastating displacement and hunger crisis. The latest clashes in the El Fasher area of Sudan have forced civilians to flee and seek refuge in neighbouring Chad, creating a major humanitarian crisis in the border provinces of Wadi Fira and Eastern Ennedi. ⬇️

On 6 August 2025, the Al-Fajr displacement camp site in Deir al-Balah, managed by DRC and our partner PARC, was hit by an Israeli drone strike.

Nearly 50 years in exile.
The Sahrawi people in Tindouf are among the world’s longest-displaced, yet remain largely forgotten.
At DRC, we work alongside them to restore dignity and resilience.
