DR Congo: République démocratique du Congo : Aperçu des incidents affectant les travailleurs humanitaires - mai 2026
Country: Democratic Republic of the Congo Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Please refer to the attached Infographic. Le principal fait marquant de la période est la déclaration de l'épidémie de maladie à virus Ebola (MVE) dans l'est de la République démocratique du Cong (15 mai). Cette évolution a eu des répercussions immédiates sur les opérations humanitaires, notamment à travers la suspension temporaire de certains vols humanitaires, l’imposition de mesures de contrôle sanitaire à l’intérieur du pays, et la fermeture de frontières internationales avec les pays voisins. L'épidémie a également eu un impact sur l'acceptation des acteurs humanitaires et du personnel de santé au sein des communautés. Alimentées par des perceptions locales négatives, plusieurs structures de prise en charge et professionnels de santé ont été pris pour cible. Au cours du mois de mai, dix incidents liés au contexte Ebola ont été enregistrés en Ituri et au Nord Kivu. Les incidents les plus graves ont été des attaques sur les CTEs de Rwampara et Mongwalu dans la semaine ayant suivi la déclaration de l’épidémie (21 et 22 mai), et la tentative d’incendie de la résidence d’un personnel d’'une organisation non gouvernementale internationale (ONGI), accusée par une partie de la population d'être à l'origine de la propagation de la maladie dans la zone (24 mai). Une analyse spécifique des incidents affectant les équipes de la riposte Ebola (humanitaires, gouvernement et autres) est disponible dans l’Aperçu Mensuel sur les Incidents d’Accès Affectant les Acteurs de la Riposte Ebola (titre à confirmer, lien à inclure). Le nombre d'incidents affectant les opérations humanitaires est passé de 145 en avril à 186 en mai 2026, soit une augmentation de 28 %. Les principales catégories d'incidents enregistrées sont les intimidations, menaces et agressions (33 %), les interférences et restrictions d'accès (31 %) ainsi que les cambriolages, vols et intrusions (32 %).

COI Query Response - Pakistan: Major political, human rights and security developments
Country: Pakistan Source: European Union Agency for Asylum Please refer to the attached file. 1. Political and human rights developments According to European Parliament, as of 9 July 2026, human rights violations remained a concern in Pakistan, including reported cases of abduction, forced conversion, and forced marriage of girls under the age of 18 belonging to religious minorities.1 On 5 June 2026, authorities in Pakistan-administered Kashmir designated the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) as a proscribed organisation under the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Anti-Terrorism Act, 2014.2 Amnesty International reported that the designation followed a crackdown on protests that included reports of an internet shutdown, mass arrests and the use of force, while JAAClinked activists stated that the measures had restricted the flow of information from the region and that individuals reporting on the protests had been targeted by authorities.3 The announcement came alongside the government’s decision to hold elections in Pakistanadministered Jammu and Kashmir on 27 July 2026. 4 As of 11 July 2026, political tension continued in Azad Jammu and Kashmir following the proscription of JAAC.5 On 22 June 2026, Pakistan's Anti-Terrorism Court in Balochistan sentenced Dr Mahrang Baloch, leader of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC), and human rights defender Sibghatullah Shahji to life imprisonment in connection with allegations that speeches delivered during a July 2024 protest had incited violence leading to the death of a security officer. 6 On 8 July 2026, UN experts stated that the convictions raised serious due process concerns and reflected the misuse of counter-terrorism legislation to restrict the peaceful exercise of fundamental rights. 7 On 10 July 2026, police in Hyderabad (Sindh Province) registered anti-terrorism cases against 41 workers and leaders of the banned Tehreek-e Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) political party, alleging that they had continued organising and recruiting for the party despite the federal ban. 8

EU releases an additional €10 million in humanitarian aid for the Cuban population
Country: Cuba Source: European Commission's Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations As the humanitarian conditions in Cuba continue to deteriorate, the European Commission has released an additional €10 million in humanitarian aid to support the country's most vulnerable populations. These include elderly people, children, pregnant and lactating women, and communities in remote areas suffering the most from fuel shortage and the energy crisis. The aid will prioritise healthcare, including procuring medicines and supporting primary and maternal healthcare facilities; emergency food assistance and nutrition treatment for children and mothers; rehabilitation of water systems and supplies to treat water; and logistics support to hard-to-reach areas and renewable energy solutions. Commissioner for Preparedness and Crisis Management, Hadja Lahbib , said: ‘For communities in Cuba, daily life has become increasingly difficult, with energy shortages making it difficult to get basic supplies and access healthcare and other essential services. Once again, the EU is showing solidarity with the Cuban people, with additional funding that will allow our partners to provide food, healthcare, clean water and other necessities.’ This additional funding comes on top of the €4 million already approved at the start of this year as a regional allocation for the Caribbean, which has been dedicated mainly to addressing needs in Cuba, and the €2 million reinforcement approved in April . It also follows the assistance provided last year after hurricane Melissa caused extensive damage in the island. In 2025, a total of nearly €6 million was mobilised for disaster preparedness and emergency response in Cuba. EU humanitarian aid is solely channelled through humanitarian partners working on the ground.

World: What the latest routine immunization coverage estimates mean for eradication
Countries: World, Afghanistan, Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria, Pakistan, Yemen Source: Global Polio Eradication Initiative The 2025 WHO/UNICEF Estimates of National Immunization Coverage (WUENIC), released last week, provide governments, donors, parents and health advocates with a comprehensive view of how well routine immunization systems are reaching children. For the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), the value of these numbers is in what it tells us about the strength of health services in the countries that are still endemic for polio or have frequent polio outbreaks. Robust routine immunization systems are vital to polio eradication efforts, as population immunity is the key defense against the virus. A key metric for routine immunization is how many infants receive diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine (DTP). In lower-income countries, 88% of infants received a first dose of DTP1 in 2025. This figure rose by one percentage point over 2024, to match 2019 levels, before disruptions to global immunization rates due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Efforts to catch up missed cohorts through the Big Catch-Up , supported by the polio programme, have made progress – an estimated 13.5 million children globally remained “zero-dose” in 2025, having received no vaccines, which is around 750,000 fewer than the year before. However, progress is offset by a rising number of children who start vaccination schedules, but do not complete them, and the total number of un- and under- immunized children stands at 19.6 million – 1.4 million more than in 2019. What the IPV numbers show For polio, the overall direction of travel is positive. Global coverage with the first dose of inactivated polio vaccine (IPV1) held steady at 86% between 2024 and 2025, whilst coverage with the complete IPV primary series rose from 70% to 74% over the same period, meaning that more children are now fully protected. However, the picture is more mixed in the African and Eastern Mediterranean regions, where most countries affected by polio are located. In the WHO African Region, which continues to respond to variant poliovirus outbreaks, IPV1 coverage rose from 76% to 77% and completion of the IPV primary series climbed from 47% to 60%. In the Eastern Mediterranean Region, home to the two remaining endemic countries, Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well as several conflict-affected countries experiencing polio outbreaks, IPV1 coverage increased from 82% to 84%, although in the endemics, coverage broadly remained static or declined. Dedicated fractional-dose IPV campaigns are underway to try to address these gaps, led by the Afghanistan and Pakistan polio programmes. Significantly, the WUENIC estimates find that 54% of all zero-dose children live in fragile and conflict-affected settings. These areas include the polio consequential geographies and endemics. In particular, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria and Yemen are among the countries with the highest number of zero-dose children, underscoring the challenging environment and weak health systems in the places where the polio programme operates. Why routine immunization matters now, and in the future As the programme tackles the final reservoirs of the virus, strong routine immunization is fundamental to sustaining eradication. Every child reached through the routine system with polio vaccines contributes to the population immunity that denies the virus room to circulate. This is why the last chains of poliovirus persist in the same communities where routine coverage is weakest. In the near term, the programme is focused on reaching zero-dose children in fragile settings and working with partners to strengthen routine systems so the virus cannot gain a foothold following the closure of outbreaks. In 2025, Sudan showed what is possible even in the hardest circumstances, recording the world’s largest improvement in DTP3 coverage, by 32%. The WUENIC estimates also underscore why the programme has stepped up integration efforts. The polio programme long ago stopped being about polio alone. In 2025, around 50% of polio campaigns were integrated to deliver other vaccines or health services alongside polio drops, extending a broader package of care to families and aiming to stretch every dollar further. These efforts assist eradication, but also strengthen routine immunization, and lay important groundwork for polio transition, through reducing verticality and embedding polio functions within national health systems. This systems view is reflected in the Sustaining a Polio-free World strategy , presented to Member States in May 2026, which places strong routine immunization with polio vaccines at its core. A key aspect of the strategy – the eventual, globally synchronized withdrawal of the bivalent oral poliovirus vaccine (bOPV), a necessary step to secure a polio-free world – depends on countries having strong IPV coverage, with all countries delivering two or more IPV doses to children, with target coverage of at least 80%. The rise in complete-series IPV coverage in Africa in the WUENIC data is therefore an encouraging sign for bOPV cessation feasibility, but more progress is needed. From 2026, a new hexavalent six-in-one vaccine offers another route to reach children with polio protection through the routine schedule. Eradication and stronger health systems go hand-in-hand The WUENIC data arrives as global health financing tightens and discussions on global health architecture reform gather pace, with a shared aim of promoting country ownership, integrated delivery and stronger, more sustainable systems. GPEI’s immunization infrastructure, surveillance networks and community reach are essential to defeat the poliovirus. These are lasting assets for countries, which if successfully transitioned and embedded in national health systems, will contribute to global health security long after polio is gone. Ultimately, the WUENIC figures are a reminder of how the eradication effort and strengthening health systems go hand-in-hand. Routine immunization alone cannot end polio, which is why sustained investment in the polio programme remains critical. Yet the reverse is equally true: a critical aspect to beat the virus is strong routine systems. Eradication and more resilient immunization systems must advance together, and together, they will finish the job.

Libya: Quarterly Mixed Migration Update: North Africa, Quarter 2, 2026
Countries: Libya, Algeria, Canary Islands (Spain), Greece, Italy, Morocco, Spain, Tunisia Source: Mixed Migration Centre Please refer to the attached file. The core countries of focus for this region are Algeria, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia. Depending on the quarterly trends and migration-related updates, more attention may be given to some of the countries over the rest. Key migration trends and policy updates On the Central Mediterranean Route, recorded deaths and disappearances increased by 57% compared with the same period in 2025, despite a 52% decline in sea arrivals to Italy. This suggests that lower arrivals do not necessarily reflect fewer crossing attempts and may be associated with heightened risks in the context of stricter migration controls. As of 28 June 2026, Algeria became the second-largest departure country for arrivals to Italy , accounting for 8% of all arrivals (1,198), ahead of Tunisia (8%; 1,074). Libya remained the main departure point (83%; 11,848). Overall, irregular sea arrivals to Italy decreased by 52% YoY. As of 30 June 2026, arrivals along the Western Mediterranean Route had increased by 26% compared to the same period in 2025, contrasting with a 33% decline in overall arrivals to Spain. Algeria is the main country of departure. Both authorities in Libya strengthened migration control through repatriation operations and local enforcement measures, alongside growing anti-migrant sentiment among the population and public protests targeting UNHCR . Eastern Libya banned entry for nationals of Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia , potentially affecting protection access to Libya. Anti-migrant narratives and protests intensified in Tunisia , alongside a solidarity march and calls for the protection of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. Tunisia acknowledged its state-led approach to assisted returns , reporting nearly 5,000 organized returns since July 2025. Moroccan authorities maintained relocation operations in northern departure areas, with some reported transfers extending towards border areas with Algeria. Twenty-six migrant deaths were reported along the Algeria-Morocco border during the reporting period, bringing the total recorded along this route over the past six months to 47 and underscoring the humanitarian risks associated with crossings in the area.

Greece: Quarterly Mixed Migration Update: Europe, Quarter 2, 2026
Countries: Greece, Italy, Spain, World Source: Mixed Migration Centre Please refer to the attached file. The core countries of focus are Spain, Italy, Greece and countries along the Balkan migration route. Depending on the quarterly trends and migration-related updates, more attention may be given to any of the countries over the rest. Key migration trends and policy updates Italy’s right-wing split over “remigration” and the far-right Future Nazionale: Giorgia Meloni’s government is facing pressure from the emergence of a far-right party, Futuro Nazionale , prompting speculation that the country’s political right could be undergoing “ a new phase of fragmentation ” around migration. 1 million undocumented migrants apply for regularization In Spain: The proposal to regularise the status of what was originally estimated at around 500,000 undocumented migrants currently living in the country was finalised in April , with more than 1 million people applying to the scheme. Pope Leo appeals to Europe’s ”conscience”: at a time when the Mediterranean has seen one of the deadliest starts to a year ,the pontiff called on Europe’s “conscience” as the Mediterranean risked becoming “an unmarked grave” During a visit to the Canary Islands . He reiterated these sentiments during a visit to Lampedusa , Italy, in early July. Croatia faces new accusations of violence against refugees and migrants: A report by Al Jazeera has highlighted the continued threat of abuse and rights violations that refugees and migrants attempting to travel from Bosnia and Herzegovina into Croatia face at the hands of security forces there. Calls for continued solidarity towards Ukrainians as support dwindles: In May the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, Michael O’Flaherty, issued a statement on the “the growing fatigue and intensifying discussions at EU and national levels about ending emergency arrangements”. New UK-France deal on migration control brokered: In April, the UK signed a three-year, £662 million deal with France to apprehend and deport refugees and migrants on the beaches before their departure. Street attacks in Southampton and Belfast trigger rioting and violence against immigration: Two separate incidents of violence triggered orchestrated far-right protests in Southampton and Belfast , with refugees, asylum seekers, migrants and citizens with migrant backgrounds specifically targeted. The EU Pact on Migration and Asylum came into force: After several years of negotiation, implementation began on 12 June, marking a significant shift in the EU’s migration and asylum framework. The Pact introduces new asylum procedures with shorter processing timeframes and new reception standards, alongside measures on family recognition, child protection, and a solidarity mechanism to share responsibility for asylum seekers across member states. It also includes provisions to accelerate deportations and returns. Rights groups have raised concerns that some provisions could ease governments’ ability to fast-track asylum decisions and expand detention. EU approves new set of rules around returns: On 17 June, the EU formally approved an overhaul of its returns policy with a new system that will significantly expand the ability of governments to expel undocumented migrants and rejected asylum seekers, including the creation of “return hubs” in third countries . Renewed focus on deportations to Afghanistan: The EU has ramped up its efforts to undertake deportations of Afghans by inviting the Taliban to Brussels for negotiations, a move condemned by human rights groups for normalising the regime and risking the lives of those forced to return. Sweden passes controversial “snitch law”: In June, the Swedish parliament passed further restrictions on immigration that include a broad “good behaviour” provision that could mean immigrants could be expelled if they were perceived to have broken unspecified social norms . Switzerland rejects population cap in national referendum: A divisive referendum put forward by the right-wing Swiss People’s Party (SPP) on whether to establish a 10-million population cap by 2050 – a move that would have required the government to impose restrictions on foreign entry– was rejected in June by a 55 per cent majority of voters.

Panama: Actualización trimestral sobre migración mixta: América Latina y el Caribe - Trimestre 2, 2026
Countries: Panama, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, United States of America, Uruguay, Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of) Source: Mixed Migration Centre Please refer to the attached file. Actualizaciones clave • Varias políticas migratorias impulsadas por el gobierno de Estados Unidos que habían permanecido suspendidas fueron aprobadas por la Corte Suprema. Estos fallos revocan las suspensiones previamente impuestas por tribunales inferiores, permitiendo a la administración proceder con la eliminación del estatus de protección temporal y bloquear el asilo en la frontera. • El presidente chileno, Antonio Kast, está impulsando un amplio programa de reforma migratoria, que incluye propuestas para restringir el acceso a la atención médica de las personas migrantes, criminalizar la entrada irregular e incluir instrucciones para que se indique el estatus migratorio de los padres en actas de nacimiento. • Costa Rica reactiva una nueva vía migratoria para solicitantes de asilo en el país. El nuevo estatus está disponible para quienes tengan solicitudes de asilo pendientes o rechazadas. Se espera que este proceso más sencillo ayude a resolver el atraso en los casos de asilo. • Se introdujeron nuevos mecanismos de regularización en Panamá y Curazao, aunque no ofrecen las mismas garantías. Panamá creó un nuevo “régimen especial” de estatus de tránsito temporal para hispanohablantes en proceso de retorno, con permiso de permanencia en el país de 30 días. Curazao lanzó una iniciativa de regularización, llamada Rib’e Lugá, para ofrecer permisos de residencia de uno a tres años a personas migrantes que ya se encuentran en el país. • Estados Unidos amplía el uso de acuerdos bilaterales para deportar a más de 19.000 personas refugiadas y migrantes entre febrero de 2025 y mayo de 2026 a al menos 23 países que no son los suyos. • Canadá adopta una nueva ley que regula el asilo. La nueva ley busca modernizar los procesos, pero también impone un plazo límite para presentar solicitudes y permite un mayor intercambio de información entre agencias gubernamentales. Estas dos últimas disposiciones han generado preocupaciones sobre la posibilidad de que se desestimen casos por razones no sustantivas y sobre violaciones a la privacidad. • Muchas personas venezolanas que desean regresar al país enfrentan dificultades para hacerlo. Venezuela exige un pasaporte o una identificación emitida por el gobierno para ingresar en avión, algo que muchas personas no tienen. Por ello, varios países, entre ellos Estados Unidos y Chile, están buscando formas de restablecer estos documentos.

Venezuela Earthquakes - Emergency Update #3, 5 - 14 July 2026
Country: Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of) Source: UN High Commissioner for Refugees Please refer to the attached file. HIGHLIGHTS As of 14 July, authorities reported at least 4,734 fatalities, 16,740 people injured and 17,907 people without shelter following the earthquakes. Authorities also reported 1,275 aftershocks, maintaining risks for affected communities and response personnel, particularly around damaged buildings. Government-led transitional camps and sites continue to expand. Authorities reported 107 operational sites across La Guaira, the Capital District and Miranda. More than 20,000 survivors are being accommodated in these camps. The response has shifted from the initial search-and-rescue phase towards a broader recovery and protection response. Urban Search and Rescue coordination was formally transferred to Venezuela's Civil Protection, while humanitarian actors continued to scale up multisectoral support in coordination with national and local authorities. UNHCR and partners expanded protection services across three transitional camps in La Guaira, reaching more than 1500 people during the reporting period with protection activities, information and counselling, legal support, psychological first aid, psychosocial support, child protection interventions and referrals to specialized services. Documentation remains one of the main protection needs identified across sites. With support from UNHCR, government-led documentation services have helped people replace identity documents lost during the earthquakes and access procedures to renew official documentation. Through mobile documentation activities, affected families have been able to restore proof of identity, helping them access assistance, public services and other essential support.. The Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator visited Venezuela and met with national authorities, the Humanitarian Country Team, international and national nongovernmental organizations and the United Nations Country Team. During the visit, the need for US$ 298 million in additional funding was announced to support 1.3 million people over the next six months.

Sao Tome and Principe: Election Readiness - DREF Operation (MDRST003)
Country: Sao Tome and Principe Source: International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies Please refer to the attached file. Description of the Event Date when the trigger was met 19-07-2026 What happened, where and when? São Tomé and Príncipe's presidential election, scheduled for 19 July 2026, is taking place in a more tense political context than previous polls, marked by the aftermath of the 2025 institutional crisis, as well as by electoral disputes amid allegations of fraud, socio-economic and political grievances, and calls for violent gatherings that have already resulted in incidents of violence during the campaign phase. The 2025 institutional crisis marked an important turning point and continues to poison the political climate, and fuel calls for reaction among party supporters. It stemmed from the dismissal of Prime Minister Patrice Trovoada by President Carlos Vila Nova, which deepened divisions within the ADI and reinforced political polarization. This polarization was amplified by the June 2026 rejection of Nino Monteiro's candidacy, fueling debate and disputes around the electoral process. Following these events, since mid-June 2026, information gathered by the National Society's branches shows the electoral context evolving from a low risk level to a moderate risk level, marked by calls for mobilization, hate speech, political clashes, and several incidents requiring police intervention. Although localized and limited in scale, these events demonstrate an escalating dynamic and the ability of certain influential political actors to rapidly mobilize their supporters, particularly young people. Persistent socio-economic frustrations including the rising cost of living, youth unemployment, power outages, and fuel shortages are also fueling public discontent and encouraging mobilization around political grievances. Based on both recent and historical events, and in consultation with various actors in the country and community groups, the current electoral context presents a moderate risk level higher than the low-risk scenario anticipated at the start of the year, but lower than the worst-case scenario observed in 2022. This justifies the need for the National Society to prepare and, in the event of an alert, to mount an immediate first-response intervention centered on the presidential phase of the elections, following the calendar below. For the 19 July 2026 presidential election, the main dates on the electoral calendar are as follows: ● 4 June 2026: deadline for filing and official registration of candidacies for the presidential election ● 4 July 2026: start of the presidential election campaign. ● 19 July 2026: presidential polling day (results date to be confirmed later) Regarding the legislative, regional, and local elections scheduled for September 2026, the main dates are: ● 10 September 2026: start of the election campaign ● 27 September 2026: legislative, regional, and local polling day Although the concentration of several electoral deadlines within a relatively short period could increase political mobilization and population movements linked to campaign activities and voting operations, the measures supported by this DREF are calibrated to a moderate-risk scenario and are, for now, limited to the presidential election. A revision of the DREF may follow depending on how this first phase evolves.

South Sudan: Soudan du Sud : 15 ans d’indépendance et quatre décennies aux côtés des populations touchées par le conflit
Country: South Sudan Source: International Committee of the Red Cross Alors que le Soudan du Sud célèbre ses 15 ans d'indépendance, des millions de personnes continuent de vivre avec les conséquences du conflit, des déplacements et un accès limité aux services essentiels. Depuis plus de 40 ans, le Comité international de la Croix‐Rouge (CICR) œuvre aux côtés des communautés de tout le pays, aidant les personnes à survivre aux conflits, à se remettre de leurs blessures et à reconstruire leur vie. À travers quelques instantanés jalonnant cette période, nous revenons sur ce parcours et sur les besoins humanitaires, qui persistent encore à ce jour. Quinze ans après l'indépendance, les besoins humanitaires continuent d’augmenter Le Soudan du Sud est devenu la nation la plus jeune du monde en juillet 2011, une nation qui portait l’espoir d’un avenir plus pacifique. Quinze ans plus tard, de nombreuses communautés continuent de subir, au quotidien, les conséquences du conflit, de la violence, des déplacements, de l’insécurité alimentaire et des chocs climatiques. La situation humanitaire s’est encore aggravée ces derniers mois. La reprise des combats, depuis fin 2025, a contraint des milliers de familles à quitter leur foyer, perturbé leurs moyens de subsistance et réduit leur accès aux soins de santé. Dans le même temps, l’afflux de populations fuyant le conflit au Soudan voisin et la baisse des financements humanitaires exercent une pression supplémentaire sur des services déjà débordés. Environ 199 300 réfugiés du Soudan du Sud sont retournés dans leur pays au cours de l’année 2025, dont 151 600 en provenance du Soudan, poussés par l’escalade de la violence et l’insécurité alimentaire. Pour le CICR, rester aux côtés de ces communautés a nécessité de s’adapter à l’évolution des besoins humanitaires tout en restant attaché à sa priorité de toujours : protéger des vies et préserver la dignité humaine. 2025. Après avoir fui le Soudan du Sud en 2013, Adut Madut a été contrainte d’y retourner lorsque le conflit a éclaté au Soudan. À Kuajok, le CICR a fourni aux membres de sa famille de la nourriture, des articles de première nécessité et un soutien aux moyens de subsistance pour les aider à reconstruire leur vie. Quand chaque minute compte L’accès à des soins de santé vitaux reste l’un des défis humanitaires les plus importants du pays. Au cours des six premiers mois de l’année 2026, le CICR a évacué 266 patients blessés qui se trouvaient dans les zones touchées par le conflit dans le Soudan du Sud, soit plus de 50 % de personnes supplémentaires par rapport à la même période en 2025. Depuis 2014, plus de 5 000 patients ont été évacués pour recevoir des soins chirurgicaux d’urgence. De nombreux patients viennent de zones isolées où les routes sont impraticables et les moyens de communication peu fiables, et où les installations de santé sont inaccessibles ou n’ont pas la capacité de prodiguer des soins de traumatologie spécialisés. La plupart de ces patients sont transportés par avion à l’hôpital militaire de Juba, l’un des principaux centres pratiquant des interventions de chirurgie de guerre. L’augmentation du nombre de victimes fait peser une pression énorme sur les services de chirurgie. Au cours du premier semestre 2026, les opérations réalisées ont augmenté de près de 30 % par rapport à la même période l’année dernière. De ce fait, le département de chirurgie soutenu par le CICR fonctionne à plus de 100 % de ses capacités. Ngor Gatluak est l’un des patients traités à l’hôpital de Juba après avoir été évacué d’Agany, dans l'État de Jonglei, à environ 420 kilomètres de là. « J’ai reçu une balle dans le bras lors de l’un des combats. Comme il n’y a pas d’hôpital dans notre région, j’ai été évacué d’Agany pour être soigné. Ensuite, j’ai été transféré dans cet hôpital. Je me sens beaucoup mieux maintenant, et j’espère rentrer chez moi bientôt. » Pour Rose Ochieng, coordinatrice de la santé du CICR au Soudan du Sud, il est de plus en plus difficile de répondre aux besoins humanitaires. 2026. Volontaires de la Croix-Rouge du Soudan du Sud portant assistance à des patients avant leur évacuation vers Juba. Se rétablir ne signifie pas seulement survivre Pour beaucoup de personnes blessées par le conflit, le chemin ne s’arrête pas après l’opération chirurgicale. Depuis 2014, près de 40 000 personnes ont accédé à des services de réadaptation physique dans des centres soutenus par le CICR à Juba, à Wau et à Rumbek. Prothèses, fauteuil roulants, séances de physiothérapie, soutien psychosocial : tout cela aide les gens qui ont reçu des blessures irréversibles à retrouver leur mobilité, leur indépendance et leur confiance. Au fil des années, ces centres sont aussi devenus des lieux où les patients renouent avec leurs communautés. Le sport, les activités de réadaptation et l’entraide entre pairs offrent des possibilités d’intégration et de guérison qui vont bien au-delà du simple traitement médical. Ces services sont toujours plus demandés, car les conflits laissent un nombre croissant de personnes en situation de handicap permanent. 2018.

Au-delà des lignes de front Le conflit a de vastes conséquences, qui vont bien au-delà des blessures directes. Aujourd’hui, selon le PAM , environ 7,8 millions de personnes sont confrontées à une insécurité alimentaire aiguë sévère, tandis que 2,2 millions d’enfants de moins de cinq ans souffrent de malnutrition aiguë. Le Soudan du Sud continue en outre d’afficher l’un des taux de mortalité des moins de cinq ans les plus élevés au monde, de nombreux enfants succombant à des maladies évitables. Les conflits et l’insécurité ont également contraint des familles à quitter leur foyer. À la fin de l’année 2025, on comptait environ 1,3 million de personnes déplacées à l’intérieur du pays, tandis que des centaines de milliers d’autres avaient cherché refuge de l’autre côté des frontières ou étaient revenues du Soudan voisin après l’escalade de la violence dans ce pays. Pour répondre à ces besoins, il faut souvent atteindre des communautés isolées en raison de l’insécurité ou des inondations, là où l’accès humanitaire reste extrêmement difficile. 2018.

En collaboration avec la Croix-Rouge du Soudan du Sud, les autorités sanitaires et d’autres partenaires, le CICR continuera d’œuvrer pour que les personnes touchées par le conflit puissent avoir accès à des soins vitaux et à l’aide humanitaire, où qu’elles se trouvent. Le CICR réitère également son appel à toutes les parties au conflit pour qu’elles respectent et protègent les professionnels de santé et les installations médicales, qu’elles recueillent et évacuent les blessés et les malades sans distinction défavorable, et qu’elles facilitent un accès humanitaire sûr et sans entrave aux civils dans le besoin.

Cholera Outbreak Rapid Response: Lessons learned from Concern Worldwide’s experience in Ethiopia
Country: Ethiopia Source: Concern Worldwide Please refer to the attached file. Context Ethiopia continues to face recurrent public health emergencies driven by the interaction of protracted conflict, climate shocks, population displacement, and weak service coverage. Cholera outbreaks remain a persistent risk, particularly in areas experiencing water scarcity, poor sanitation, seasonal population movements, and disruption of routine health and WASH services. In regions such as Amhara, Tigray, and Somali, insecurity and displacement have further constrained access to safe water, sanitation facilities, and timely health care. The Amhara Region was among the most affected areas during the recent cholera outbreak in Ethiopia, reporting 4,337 cases and 59 deaths (case fatality rate of1.36%) across 40 woredas between 2024 and early 2025. Mass gathering sites including holy water sites, IDP settlements, and remote rural kebeles have been identified as high-risk transmission settings, where overcrowding, inadequate sanitation infrastructure, and entrenched social practices increase vulnerability to waterborne disease. These risks are compounded during seasonal peaks, when population movement and service pressure intensify. Within this context, rapid, flexible, and locally coordinated emergency responses are critical to containing outbreaks and preventing excess morbidity and mortality. Overview In June 2025 under the Ethiopia Rapid Response Mechanism (ET-RRM), funded by ECHO, Concern Worldwide implemented a rapid cholera response in Quara Woreda, West Gondar Zone, Amhara Region, in partnership with the national NGO Faith in Action (FIA) and relevant government ministries. The response was implemented primarily in Berniel Giorgis and Gelegu town, targeting both religious sites and displacement-affected locations where cholera transmission risk was highest. Interventions focused on emergency WASH service delivery, supported by capacity strengthening of local WASH structures and close coordination with woreda water and health offices to ensure alignment with government-led response efforts. Interventions were designed to be short-term, highly targeted, and adaptive, enabling rapid mobilisation of resources to develop hotspots, including religious sites and IDP locations. Strong coordination with woreda authorities, health and water offices, and community leadership structures underpinned implementation, ensuring alignment with government systems and local acceptance.

Bangladesh: Deadly landslides continue to claim children's lives in Cox's Bazar
Countries: Bangladesh, Myanmar Source: Plan International 9 July 2026 Plan International is responding in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, as heavy monsoon rainfall continues to trigger deadly landslides across the Rohingya camps and surrounding host communities. Since 6 July, multiple landslides have claimed the lives of Rohingya refugees and local residents, including several children, highlighting the urgent need for continued disaster preparedness and early action measures. The latest tragedy occurred on 8 July when a hillside collapsed onto a madrasa inside a Rohingya camp, reportedly killing at least 4 girls and injuring several others as children attended classes. More than 250 millimetres of rain fell within a 24-hour period, causing landslides, flooding and widespread damage to shelters across the camps. Authorities have warned that heavy rainfall is expected to continue, increasing the risk of further landslides and flash floods in one of the world’s most densely populated refugee settlements. Kabita Bose, Country Director, Plan International Bangladesh said; “We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of lives and extend our heartfelt condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones.” “The deaths of children in deadly landslides are particularly heartbreaking. Every monsoon season brings heightened risks for Rohingya communities and host communities living on unstable hillsides and in low-lying areas.” “Children, especially girls, are among those most at risk during emergencies, facing increased threats to their safety, wellbeing, and access to essential services.” Taking action early saves lives These back-to-back tragedies highlight the importance of helping people prepare for extreme weather before it strikes. Taking action early saves lives. Early warning systems, volunteer networks, evacuation plans, safer shelters and community awareness efforts can help families get to safety before dangerous conditions become deadly. Plan International Bangladesh and its partners are supporting volunteers to share weather alerts, raise awareness door to door, identify families most at risk, and help people move to safer locations when needed. These efforts help protect lives, but continued investment in disaster preparedness and measures to help communities withstand increasingly severe weather is essential as climate-related disasters become more frequent. Our teams remain in Cox’s Bazar, working alongside partners to support those affected, monitor conditions and protect children, women and their families. With heavy rainfall expected to continue, we urge continued support for early action and disaster preparedness measures to help prevent further loss of life.

Bangladesh: Deadly landslide kills seven more children in Rohingya camps
Countries: Bangladesh, Myanmar Source: Save the Children COX’S BAZAR, 9 July 2026 - A landslide triggered by monsoon rains has reportedly killed seven students and a teacher at a school in the Rohingya camps in Bangladesh, with more children being pulled from the rubble in the second deadly incident this week, Save the Children said. The landslide came after at least eight people – including five children – died in flooding and landslides on 6 July in Cox’s Bazar, the world’s largest refugee settlement, that is home to more than one million Rohingya refugees, most of them women and children. Several Save the Children learning centres have been damaged by heavy rain and flash floods, forcing their temporary closure. Homes, clean water sources and latrines and washing facilities have also been damaged. Rohingya refugees mostly live in shacks made of bamboo and plastic sheets that cling to steep, bare hills. Flooding has further worsened their living conditions along with an overall deterioration of conditions inside the camps due to aid cuts in 2025 and donors scaling back funding for the protracted crisis. Golam Mostofa , Head o****f the Cox’s Bazar Area Office at Save the Children in Bangladesh, said: “The deaths of these students are a devastating reminder of the dangers children in the Rohingya camps face when extreme weather strikes. They are living in one of Bangladesh’s most climate-vulnerable regions, where crowded camps cling to landslide-prone hillsides. “With the monsoon far from over, the risks remain acute. Continued rainfall is threatening to trigger further landslides, disrupting learning, damaging fragile shelters and leaving children exposed to serious health threats, including dengue, cholera and diarrhoea. “Save the Children is working with partners and government authorities to strengthen disaster preparedness, anticipatory action and early warnings in the Rohingya camps. “Protecting children from increasingly severe weather must be a priority. Communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis in Bangladesh need stronger infrastructure, safer learning spaces and sustained support to reduce the risks they face year after year.” Save the Children has been working in Cox's Bazar since 2012 and significantly increased its activities following the 2017 exodus of refugees to Bangladesh, with programs in education, health and nutrition, food, water, shelter, and child protection services.

Foodgrains Bank responds as powerful back-to-back earthquakes push Venezuela deeper into crisis
Country: Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of) Source: Canadian Foodgrains Bank As two powerful earthquakes tore through north-central Venezuela on Wednesday evening, they intensified an already fragile humanitarian crisis – placing millions more people at risk of hunger. The back-to-back earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5 in magnitude hit within a minute of each other, killing at least 589 people and injuring nearly 3,000 others. These numbers are expected to rise exponentially in the coming days as more information becomes available and search and rescue efforts continue in the densely populated areas most impacted by the earthquakes – including the capital, Caracas. “This disaster comes at a time when many families in Venezuela were already struggling to afford enough food,” says Stefan Epp-Koop, Foodgrains Bank senior humanitarian manager. “It’s a crisis on top of a crisis, and that’s a devastating reality for those who were living on the edge prior to this week’s events. The loss of shelter, income, and access to markets could quickly push them deeper into hunger.” The UN estimates that before the earthquakes struck, up to eight million people in Venezuela needed humanitarian assistance due to economic instability and rising food prices. “Without timely support, more families will be forced to go without the food they need,” says Epp-Koop. As a member of the Humanitarian Coalition, Canadian Foodgrains Bank is responding to ensure humanitarian assistance reaches the most vulnerable people in Venezuela as quickly and effectively as possible. “Our hearts are with the people of Venezuela during this difficult time, and Canadians have a long history of responding generously in times like this,” says Foodgrains Bank director of resources and public engagement Christina Philips. “The scale of need is significant, but with the right support, we can help communities withstand this shock and begin to recover.” Funds donated to the joint Humanitarian Coalition appeal will help local partners (who have been present in Venezuela for decades) to provide emergency assistance that is desperately needed at this time. Canadians can give to the Venezuela Earthquake Response at together.ca or by calling 1-855-461-2154. – ENDS – About Canadian Foodgrains Bank Canadian Foodgrains Bank is a partnership of 15 churches and church agencies working together to end hunger. In the 2024-25 budget year, the Foodgrains Bank provided $74.6 million of assistance for 1,176,111 people in 37 countries. Canadian Foodgrains Bank programs are undertaken with support from the Government of Canada provided through Global Affairs Canada. Assistance from the Foodgrains Bank is provided through its member agencies, which work with local partners in the developing world.

Pakistan strengthens anticipatory action to reduce the impact of climate-related disasters | World Food Programme
Country: Pakistan Source: World Food Programme ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) welcomes the announcement of Pakistan’s first Anticipatory Action Strategy, marking a major milestone in the country’s efforts to strengthen disaster risk management and reduce the impact of climate-related hazards on vulnerable communities. Anticipatory action helps safeguard lives, livelihoods and critical assets by using risk forecasts to trigger early funding and action before hazards strike. This approach marks a shift from responding to disasters to acting ahead of them to reduce their impact. The national anticipatory action strategy builds on a joint initiative implemented by WFP and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with funding from the European Union (EU) in support of the Government of Pakistan, through which a range of measures were introduced at national and sub-national levels to strengthen anticipatory action systems. These include strengthening early warning systems, testing protocols, and integrating anticipatory approaches into government disaster risk management and development planning. “Anticipatory actions need to be activated to reduce disaster risks and minimise humanitarian and economic losses,” said the Chairman of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), Lieutenant General Inam Haider Malik. “Timely preparedness, early warning dissemination, and a coordinated institutional response are essential to protect vulnerable communities from the increasing impacts of climate-induced hazards.” Climate-related disasters in Pakistan have caused over US$18 billion in damages over the two decades- rising to more than US$60 billion when major flood events in 2010, 2011 and 2022 are factored in. The 2025 monsoon floods affected 6.9 million people, while 2026 has already begun with El Niño-related warnings of droughts and flash floods. The impact on food security from these events can be immense due to the destruction of livelihoods and assets which can take years to rebuild. The benefits of anticipatory action were demonstrated during the 2025 floods in Pakistan. In Khairpur district, Sindh, WFP and FAO with support from the EU, delivered anticipatory cash assistance of US$179 (PKR 50,000) per household to 15,000 vulnerable people three days before peak flooding. This enabled families to secure food and essential supplies, evacuate safely, and protect livestock and assets. “Pakistan’s exposure to climate-related hazards demands innovative approaches that help communities prepare for and withstand future shocks,” said Taheeni Thammannagoda, Head of EU Humanitarian Aid’s office in Pakistan. “The Anticipatory Action Strategy is an important step towards strengthening preparedness and enabling earlier, more informed action to reduce disaster impacts.” The joint initiative also has helped upgrade risk analysis, contingency planning, and simulation exercises across national, provincial and district authorities in Sindh and Balochistan. “Evidence shows that every dollar invested in anticipatory action can save up to US$7 in avoided losses,” said Anita Hirsch, WFP Representative and Country Director in Pakistan. “With the next monsoon season approaching, continuous investments in anticipatory actions should not only save lives and livelihoods but also save resources in the long run.” “Anticipatory action bridges humanitarian response and development by protecting people while ensuring that agriculture and livestock systems remain productive,” said James Robert Okoth, Officer in Charge, FAO Pakistan. “By acting before disaster strikes, we safeguard not only lives and their crops and animals, but also the futures, dignity, and resilience of the communities who depend on them.” Moving forward, efforts will focus on aligning provincial processes and mobilizing pre-disaster public financial mechanisms that can release resources ahead of shocks. This scaling effort is supported by partners including the EU and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), helping ensure early warnings translate into timely action. # # # The United Nations World Food Programme is the world’s largest humanitarian organization, saving lives in emergencies and using food assistance to build a pathway to peace, stability and prosperity for people recovering from conflict, disasters and the impact of climate change.

UNFPA Cameroon Situation Report: Humanitarian Crisis (1 - 31 May 2026)
Country: Cameroon Source: United Nations Population Fund Please refer to the attached file. Cameroon continues to face a volatile humanitarian environment, with persistent insecurity in the North-West, South-West, and Far North regions, driving displacement and heightening protection risks. This environment is heavily dominated by the activities of non-state armed groups (NSAGs) and high levels of criminality, leading to direct clashes between NSAGs and state security forces. This has led to kidnappings, sexual violence, and looting, underscoring the vulnerability of communities already under severe humanitarian pressure. More than 2.9 million people remain in need of urgent assistance, with women, children, and marginalized groups most affected. In May 2026, UNFPA supported 33 midwives to be deployed across 22 health facilities, providing critical sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services to 11,697 people, including assisted deliveries, emergency Caesarean sections, family planning, and care for sexually transmitted infections. Concurrently, UNFPA reached 5,259 individuals through gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and support initiatives, which encompassed psychosocial support, case management, life skills development in safe spaces, and the distribution of 225 dignity kits to vulnerable women and girls. For 2026, UNFPA requires US $4,013,060 to implement critical reproductive health and protection services in Cameroon. As of May, UNFPA has secured US$1,944,046. Despite a 50 per cent funding gap, UNFPA continues to serve as a stabilizing force for women and girls in conflict-affected communities.

Inter-Clan Clashes in Wardher Kill 6 in Somali Region
The renewed fighting erupted after community-led mediation efforts aimed at halting the violence reportedly collapsed, allowing armed confrontations to resume in the pastoral areas surrounding Aad in the Dollo Zone. Local residents described repeated exchanges of gunfire across rural settlements, forcing families to flee as tensions escalated. Community representatives said the violence has increasingly affected civilians. Local sources alleged that children, women, elderly people, and other non-combatants have been killed during the clashes. Residents also reported an earlier incident in which young Islamic scholars were allegedly killed inside a mosque, raising concerns over attacks on protected civilian spaces. Diplomat News Network could not independently verify all claims due to limited access to the affected areas. Ugaas Mohamed Ugaas Ahmed-Kayse Ugaas Farah, clan elder of the Marehan, a sub-clan of the Darod clan-family, issued a public appeal urging an immediate ceasefire and extended condolences to the families of those killed. He called on clan elders, religious leaders, intellectuals, politicians, women, and youth across the Dollo Zone to support reconciliation efforts and prioritize peace over division. He also urged both sides to lay down their weapons to allow dialogue to proceed. Garaad Jama Garaad Ali, clan elder of the Dhulbahante, a sub-clan of the Darod clan-family, also appealed for restraint, describing the warring groups as brothers whose unity must be preserved rather than eroded by continued violence. He urged the President of Ethiopia's Somali Regional State, Mustafe Mohamed Omer, to intervene decisively, enforce security measures against those prolonging the conflict, and strengthen customary conflict-resolution mechanisms. Local residents told Diplomat News Network that the latest fighting on 21 June left at least six people dead and dozens wounded. Other community sources alleged that the broader conflict has resulted in higher casualties, including reports that around 15 people were buried in a mass grave and approximately 40 others were injured, though these figures have not been independently verified by authorities. The conflict had previously been mediated by the government of Ethiopia's Somali Regional State before violence resurfaced. Community representatives said the dispute began as a relatively minor grievance that was not effectively addressed, gradually escalating into armed confrontation, retaliatory attacks, and a sustained cycle of inter-clan violence. The renewed clashes highlight ongoing challenges facing peace efforts in Ethiopia's Somali Regional State, where unresolved local disputes continue to threaten civilian protection, community stability, and broader regional security.
