"Our colleagues are physically and mentally depleted. They are struggling to concentrate or function. Because they face directly the effect of dehydration and malnutrition, we are watching them starve to death."

#CeaseFireNOW
I don’t know how to describe how small I feel - standing before the towering ruins of bombed-out buildings, collapsed onto themselves, onto the lives still trapped beneath. How did we allow this level of devastation, this violation of the most basic human rights? The destruction is overwhelming. Diary from Gaza by Mara Bernasconi, Humanity & Inclusion

Report Amputation crisis in conflict zones New report highlights the catastrophic surge in amputations across Gaza, Syria and Ukraine. The staggering number of amputations in conflict zones is a direct consequence of the use of explosive weapons in densely populated areas. Without immediate humanitarian access and funding for rehabilitation services, we risk condemning an entire generation to unnecessary suffering and disability. George Graham, Chief Executive Humanity & Inclusion UK The widespread destruction, combined with a severe shortage of medical supplies and rehabilitation services, is leaving thousands of survivors without access to essential care, prosthetics, and the long-term support that they need. Humanity & Inclusion is calling on governments, international donors, and humanitarian agencies to: 1. Fund emergency and long-term rehabilitation services for conflict survivors. 2. Ensure safe and unrestricted access to prosthetics, assistive devices, and trained medical staff. 3. Prioritise rehabilitation in humanitarian response plans
