"Food is available but remains inaccessible for millions of Afghans.
We cannot keep asking humanitarian aid to compensate indefinitely for the absence of economic opportunity and essential public services."

Thousands have been forced from their homes in Gros-Morne as violence spreads across Haiti.
Humanitarians are there but access must remain safe and open. The funding gap is real, and is costing lives.
In Haiti, violence in Gros-Morne has forced more than 10,000 people to flee.
Assistance is scaling up:
🍲1,500 hot meals distributed
🧼250 hygiene kits distributed
📦More than 2,000 emergency kits being delivered
OCHA and its partners remain mobilized alongside communities.

Returning home should be a step towards stability.
For many families in Kunduz, Afghanistan, that is not the case.
Winter is coming, and sustained support is critical to help families rebuild their lives.

Killing humanitarians takes a chain of people.
I want them to feel fear, shame, guilt. We demand they are held to account.
Here are three ways to do that.

You can't end every crisis. But you can end someone's.
Displaced by conflict, Nyajang felt alone and uncertain, carrying the responsibility of raising six children by herself.
A women's safe space gave her a new start.
This is what humanitarian aid can do.
One life at a time.

Over the past week, attacks in front-line areas have harmed aid workers and affected humanitarian operations, impacting life-saving evacuations and the delivery of aid.
As humanitarians remain committed to helping those in need, they themselves should be protected. #NotATarget

For Falmata, dried meat means much more than food.
It means her own income, feeding her children and keeping them in school.
With CERF Climate Action Account support, @FaoTchad is helping Falmata and other women build livelihoods and nourish communities in Chad.

In #Niger, monitoring helps us see how funding translates into real assistance for people in need, while strengthening accountability to communities and donors.
