From Sudan to Palestine, Ukraine to Colombia, & Myanmar to the DRC, violations of International Humanitarian Law are alarmingly widespread.

Merci 🇫🇷, obrigado 🇵🇹!
After Spain activated the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism in response to the devastating floods, Portugal and France swiftly stepped in.
Over 150 team members and 60 vehicles worked tirelessly with Spanish authorities to clear debris, pump water, and help communities recover.

Russia has failed to wipe Ukraine off the map.
One thousand days of heroic resistance has proved them wrong.
We stand firm in our commitment and solidarity with Ukraine. #StandWithUkraine ↓

Excellent article on how disaster relief works in the US, in the wake of recent hurricanes. Good information also prevents harmful misinformation from spreading during such events.

I saw the Hurricane Helene response up close. This is how disaster relief actually works.
Volunteers, not FEMA, are the bedrock of disaster response. How do we best support them?

A solemn anniversary. It's 10 years since the start of Ukraine's Euromaidan protests that became the Revolution of Dignity. Ukraine's struggle to break free of Russia's grasp continues today, as it remembers the Heavenly Hundred slain in Kyiv and the 1000s killed in Russia's war.
