oPt: GAZA STAFF ACCOUNT: “You cannot move on while living in the same place where you experienced your worst nightmares.”
Country: occupied Palestinian territory Source: Save the Children Shurouq, 31, is a Save the Children staff member in Gaza. Shurouq lost her husband after he was killed in the first weeks of the war. Along with her 3-year-old daughter, Karmel*, Shurouq has been displaced many times during the war. Six months after the ceasefire agreement came into effect, we are still living in a grey city. Grey dominates everything, from the buildings to the streets to the dust on our faces. It even dominates our mood and futures. You cannot move on or begin to heal while living in the same place where you experienced your worst nightmares – a place that hasn’t changed in months despite the bombs not falling as intensely, and agreements on a fast reconstruction. Every day on my way to work, I pass by my destroyed home. Our home was a large rooftop apartment and each time I look at the building and see it destroyed I remember how much time and money my husband and I spent designing a modern home for a newly married couple. What breaks me the most is my daughter’s room. It was brand new and filled with pink, yellow, and purple toys and decorations. We designed it thinking that the room would grow with her through all the different stages of her life, but my daughter never spent a single night in that room. How do I explain to a small child, who lost her father at 11 months old, that she once had a father, a home and her own bedroom painted bright pink, yellow and purple? Six months into the ceasefire I don’t feel at home, even though I am in my homeland. I feel like a stranger who is displaced and with relatives. My daughter and I have lost our privacy. We feel like we are living half in war and half in peace because nothing is happening on the ground to show us that there is away to a brighter future. We are still hearing bombs. Recently there was an attack just one street away from where I was with my daughter. Yes, there are a few things that we are able to get now that we couldn’t get before, but nothing here is achieved without a struggle. A few days ago, I managed to buy a refrigerator, but I still don’t have a source of electricity. It was extremely difficult to find a refrigerator because prices were outrageous and because of the restrictions on electronic goods entering Gaza, but I felt like I had achieved a major life milestone just finding a refrigerator. My daughter, who has lived through war most of her young life, thought it was a closet! SEARCHING FOR EGGS Throughout the war I have carried a constant feeling of guilt. I feel guilty because I couldn’t protect my daughter from the sounds and shaking of bombs, hunger, fear or from life in a tent. My daughter wore boys’ clothes for most of her life because there were no girls’ clothes available during the war, but I felt a sense of victory when I managed to buy her clothes a month ago. I felt like a child myself while shopping with her for clothes. I also managed to fulfil her dream of owning a doll. No toys that I know of have entered Gaza since the ceasefire was announced, and searching for a toy was exhausting. More food is now available in the market, but prices are still extremely high and availability is unstable. I'm struggling to find eggs. Every day I’m asking for eggs. I miss things like having a hot shower directly from the tap. We must work so hard just o have these basic things. To give my daughter a shower I must heat up the water by using cooking gas or other alternatives, and we’re still struggling to get cooking gas. Before the war we were living under a life- limiting and suffocating blockade for almost 18 years – the equivalent of an entire childhood. UN officials called it the largest open-air prison in the world. It was incredibly difficult to live through, but it seems like we took the most basic of things, like a hot shower, for granted. Because now it feels like there are struggles inside struggles. I constantly feel like I am unboxing struggles. I often try to force myself to move forward and stop comparing life before the war to life after it, but I cannot. There must be an increase in aid and goods entering Gaza, and principled reconstruction must begin as soon as possible**.** My appeal is to see more improvements here that show us there is truly a way towards a brighter future for me, for my daughter and for all of us. ************************************************************************************* For further enquiries please contact: Amy Sawitta Lefevre, Global Media Manager: amy.lefevre@savethechildren.org Our media out of hours (GMT) contact is media@savethechildren.org.uk / +44(0)7831 650409

CARE International UK responds to latest escalation in Lebanon
Country: Lebanon Source: CARE Responding to the latest escalations in Lebanon on Wednesday 8th April 2026, Michael Adams, Director of CARE International in Lebanon, says: "All the traumas Lebanon has suffered over the past fifty years are being awakened. What Lebanon endured on Wednesday April 8 was carnage: in less than ten minutes, more than 250 people were killed and over a thousand injured, in the largest wave of strikes since this conflict began. Civilians, children, families were struck down in the heart of the capital and beyond. Our demand is absolute and unequivocal for an immediate and lasting ceasefire. All parties must uphold their obligations under international humanitarian law. Protecting civilians, civilian infrastructure, and humanitarian personnel is not a choice — it is a legal and moral obligation. Behind the figures are shattered lives. Families fleeing with nothing, displaced for the second or third time, traumatized, and without basic needs. Hospitals are overwhelmed, are critically short of vital medical supplies and medicines, and are unable to cope with the influx of the many injured. A shortage of everything such as water, food and protection. This comes on top of a humanitarian crisis that already existed, before this deadly wave of strikes, far beyond what the international response was equipped to address. We call on the international community to act without delay: for an immediate ceasefire, for sustained and unimpeded humanitarian access to those critically in need, and for full accountability for any violations of international humanitarian law. The protection of the civilian population is of paramount concern." To contact our media team with press enquiries, please email press.uk@careinternational.org or call our 24/7 line on: 07785 603 451

Honduras: Key Message Update - High staple food prices continue as agricultural labor demand declines, March - September 2026
Country: Honduras Source: Famine Early Warning System Network Please refer to the attached file. Key Messages In March, most areas of Honduras continue to face Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes. However, a growing share of poor households across the southwestern Dry Corridor are facing Crisis (IPC Phase 3) as they exhaust their food stocks atypically early ahead of the April-August lean season. These poor households, particularly subsistence farmers, are increasingly struggling to meet minimum food needs and are beginning to rely on negative coping strategies such as selling livestock and other productive assets. At the peak of the lean season, area-level Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes are expected to emerge in several parts of the Dry Corridor. Prices for white maize and red beans remain persistently above average, continuing trends observed since mid‐2025. As of February, white maize prices, although stable month‐on‐month, were more than 50 percent above last year and nearly 45 percent above the five‐year average, reflecting tight market supplies and increased production costs. Red beans remain near average compared to last year, but 11.5 percent higher than the five-year average, due to repeated weather shocks and high input costs. These high prices continue to strain budgets and limit purchasing power among poor households. Erratic and below-average rainfall observed in early 2026 has continued through March and is expected to intensify during the primera season, limiting agricultural labor demand. Mid-March rainfall shows highly uneven patterns across the Dry Corridor , with anomalies of 75 millimeters below average in the western Dry Corridor and nearly 200 millimeters above average in the southern Dry Corridor. Continued irregular precipitation and below-average rainfall is expected, combined with above-average temperatures, a prolonged canícula dry spell, and accelerated soil‐moisture loss. These conditions will increase the risk of pests and diseases and constrain primera planting and associated labor demand, as well as early crop development, particularly for subsistence farmers in Dry Corridor areas without irrigation. The conflict in the Middle East is likely to increase fuel and fertilizer prices in Honduras. While fuel prices for gasoline and diesel remained stable in February, prices increased weekly throughout March amid growing disruptions to global oil markets. Elevated fuel prices are expected to increase costs of food production and transportation, although the extent of price increases will depend on the trajectory of the conflict and market disruptions. Although industry officials have confirmed a sufficient supply of fertilizer for the primera season, prices have begun to rise following rising global prices. If disruptions to fertilizer supply and transport persist, further price increases for agricultural inputs (between April and June) are likely during the peak of the procurement window. As a result, smallholder producers are likely to reduce fertilizer application rates during the primera season, leading to slight to moderate reductions in yields and household food stocks.

Ukraine Key Message Update, March - September 2026: Seasonal pressures and conflict sustain food needs despite adequate availability
Country: Ukraine Source: Famine Early Warning System Network Please refer to the attached file. Key Messages Humanitarian food assistance needs in Ukraine are at their annual peak, driven by high winter expenditures from elevated heating and energy costs, limited seasonal income, and conflict-related disruptions to markets and food access. Ongoing hostilities, displacement, and damage to energy and transport infrastructure are compounding seasonal pressures by restricting physical access to markets and increasing living costs in eastern and southern frontline areas. After April, needs are expected to decline seasonally as temperatures rise, winter heating costs ease, and seasonal income-earning opportunities improve, particularly in agriculture, transport, and services. However, needs are expected to remain high in frontline areas due to persistent conflict and access constraints that limit typical seasonal recovery. Through September, acute food insecurity is expected to be driven primarily by constrained economic access through income loss, high prices, and physical access barriers, rather than food availability, which is projected to remain broadly adequate countrywide. Escalating conflict and sustained damage to critical infrastructure are increasingly disrupting market and household food access and market operations in eastern and southern oblasts. Increased attacks in early March have damaged energy, transport, and water systems, with 6,766 political violence events — including 3,373 air and drone strikes — recorded March 1-27, the highest monthly total since February 2022. These attacks have driven fuel constraints, higher transport costs, and water system disruptions, while widespread power outages and rolling blackouts have limited store operating hours, disrupted cold storage, and reduced access to cash and electronic payments, even as overall market supply remains stable nationally. Large-scale energy infrastructure attacks continue to constrain store operations, with Donetsk and Kherson reporting the most severe physical access barriers, primarily movement restrictions, fear for safety, and active hostilities. Insecurity along key transport routes is further disrupting the movement of goods and limiting humanitarian access in frontline areas. As a result, food access is constrained for conflict-affected households. Widespread displacement, labor market disruptions, and constrained income sources are weakening household purchasing power in conflict-affected areas and regions hosting large numbers of internally displaced persons. Approximately 3.7 million people remain internally displaced, with renewed offensives displacing an additional 30,721 people in Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia in January and February. Displacement continues to reduce household income through the loss of employment, farmland access, and local economic networks, increasing reliance on food assistance. Meanwhile, key sectors, including agriculture, face acute labor shortages due to conscription, displacement, and outward migration, constraining production. Mine contamination is affecting over 25 percent of the country, and infrastructure damage further limits access to agricultural land and seasonal labor demand. While remittances remain an important income source , they are insufficient to offset income losses in frontline and rural areas. As a result, income-earning opportunities are likely to remain constrained through April, reflecting the end of the harsh winter period, elevated energy expenditures, and limited seasonal labor demand. High agricultural production costs and input supply constraints are expected to place upward pressure on production costs and food prices. Farmers’ access to inputs ahead of the 2026 spring season is weakened by rising global fuel and fertilizer prices, driven by disruptions to supply chains related to the conflict in the Middle East, combined with reduced domestic fertilizer production . As of March 18, attacks on energy infrastructure have halved domestic ammonium nitrate production , resulting in an estimated 190,000-ton deficit for spring sowing. As a result, below-average planted area and yields are expected to reduce exportable surplus and raise production and logistics costs, contributing to higher food prices. Elevated prices, alongside already constrained incomes, are expected to further erode purchasing power, particularly for poor and conflict-affected households. While national food availability remains broadly adequate, economic access constraints are increasingly contributing to acute food insecurity. From July 2025-March 2026, Ukraine only exported 9.7 million tons of wheat — 25 percent less than the same period last year and just 55 percent of its projected export target — due to reduced European demand following a record EU harvest. Meanwhile, economic growth remains subdued, with the GDP declining by 1.2 percent in January-February and expected to slow further throughout 2026 due to insecurity and energy disruptions. While inflation has fallen from mid-2025 highs , elevated energy costs and uneven income recovery are sustaining elevated living costs, primarily in conflict-affected areas. In March, market food price pressures increased amid a seasonal reduction in vegetable supply and rising import costs, particularly for energy and agricultural inputs, due in part to conflict in the Middle East. The reduced affordability of food and uneven access to markets are expected to increasingly limit household food access as higher input and import costs are sustained, alongside ongoing conflict, displacement, infrastructure damage, and income loss. Elevated food assistance needs are outpacing humanitarian assistance amid growing constraints on access to markets and cash, particularly in conflict-affected oblasts. Although government safety‐net programs are in place, significant coverage gaps and access barriers remain, particularly in frontline areas. In January 2026, humanitarian organizations reached more than 950,000 people with assistance. However, funding shortfalls and increasing access and security constraints are expected to limit the scale and consistency of assistance. Significant funding gaps since 2025 are forcing a shift from preferred cash-based assistance to in-kind food distributions, particularly in frontline areas where market disruptions increase the need for in-kind support. Despite continued but insufficient humanitarian assistance, many households — particularly internally displaced persons and those in conflict-affected areas — face compounding pressures from income loss, restricted mobility, and limited market access, leading to increased reliance on negative coping strategies , including purchasing less preferred foods, depleting savings, and reducing meal portions.

CAR: République centrafricaine : Rapport de situation N°61, au 31 mars 2026
Country: Central African Republic Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Please refer to the attached file. FAITS SAILLANTS Réponse aux besoins alimentaires dans le centre et l’ouest du pays. Les acteurs humanitaires évaluent la situation humanitaire sur les axes Zémio–Dembia et Zémio–Mboki Des bases humanitaires ferment dans l’Ouham-Péndé, Lim-Péndé et Haute-Kotto faute de financements CONTEXTE GENERAL Préfecture du Haut-Mbomou Du 24 au 28 mars, les acteurs humanitaires basés à Zémio ont mené une mission d’évaluation conjointe des besoins sur les axes Zémio–Dembia et Zémio–Mboki marqués par une recrudescence d’affrontements entre parties au conflit depuis décembre 2025, avec des conséquences sur la situation et l’accès humanitaires. Environ 6 500 personnes rencontrées expriment des inquiétudes liées à l’insécurité à la suite de récentes violences. Les discussions en groupes ont mis en évidence des allégations de violations de droits humains attribuées à des acteurs armés, notamment les viols et incendies de maisons, situation qui contraint une grande partie de la population à se déplacer en brousse ou à se réfugier à proximité des champs. Toutes les écoles de l’axe Zémio-Mboki sont également fermées depuis la rentrée scolaire 2026 jusqu’à présent. Les personnes consultées font face à des besoins multisectoriels urgents, notamment en abris et articles ménagers essentiels pour environ 1 300 ménages dont les habitations ont été incendiées ou pillées, des purifiants pour traiter l’eau, un appui aux formations sanitaires (médicaments essentiels, cliniques mobiles) pour améliorer l’accès aux soins, des matériels scolaires pour environ 1 000 élèves, et une prise en charge adaptée pour les personnes affectées par des incidents de protection. Lors de cette mission, 165 personnes ont bénéficié de consultations curatives à travers les cliniques mobiles organisées par l’ONG Alima, dans les villages Maboussou, Guinikoumba, Danga, Barh et environ 200 enfants de la communauté ont reçu des kits scolaires (ardoises, craies, stylo, cahiers) afin de faciliter la reprise des cours. Cette mission a également permis de rétablir progressivement l’accès humanitaire dans la zone. BESOINS ET REPONSE HUMANITAIRE Multisectoriel Préfectures de la Bamingui‐Bangoranet Ouham‐Fafa Du 16 au 27 mars, Solidarités International a apporté une assistance humanitaire dans les préfectures de la Bamingui-Bangoran et de l’Ouham-Fafa, en réponse aux besoins résultant des inondations et attaques armées. À Ndélé (Bamingui-Bangoran), 162 ménages affectés par les inondations ont reçu des articles ménagers essentiels et des kits abris dans les villages de Zoukoutouniala, Maniabo et Boulkinia. Dans la préfecture de l’Ouham-Fafa, 155 ménages de Moyen Sido, touchés par des inondations et des incendies en février, ont bénéficié d’une assistance en abris. À Kabo, dans les villages de Kava 1, Kava 3, Kava 4 et Roboringa, 200 ménages vulnérables ont reçu des articles ménagers essentiels à la suite d’une attaque armée dans ces localités, en février, ayant provoqué des déplacements de population. Préfecture de la Haute-Kotto Du 24 au 26 mars, 59 ménages affectés par des incendies liés aux feux de brousse dans cinq villages de la sous‐préfecture de Bria ont reçu une assistance en cash à usage multiple, qui leur permettra de se procurer des articles ménagers et couvrir des besoins alimentaires sur le marché local. Parmi eux figuraient 27 femmes et 32 hommes chefs de ménage. Le 29 mars, un feu de brousse a ravagé les villages de Graho situé à environ 90 kilomètres de Bria, entraînant la destruction de plusieurs maisons. Une évaluation rapide est en cours pour une réponse aux besoins urgents.

Guinea-Bissau: WFP Guinea Bissau Country Brief, March 2026
Country: Guinea-Bissau Source: World Food Programme Please refer to the attached file. SITUATION OVERVIEW • Guinea-Bissau’s operational environment remains sensitive following the November 2025 military coup, with continued political tensions, including judicial proceedings against opposition leaders, contested constitutional reforms strengthening presidential powers, and intermittent international mediation efforts by the African Union, the Economic Community of West African States, and the Community of Portuguese Language Countries. • While security conditions remained generally calm in early 2026, diplomatic relations have experienced adjustment, with several international partners adopting a cautious stance and suspending or reassessing their engagement, resulting in delays to critical development financing. • High external debt and limited fiscal space continue to exert significant economic pressure, constraining government capacity to finance social programmes, against a backdrop of significant food insecurity. The latest available Cadre Harmonisé analysis projected that over 146,000 people faced Crisis-level food insecurity or worse during the June-August 2025 period. • WFP provides life-saving assistance and promotes resilience-building in Guinea-Bissau through an integrated food systems transformation approach, ensuring that programmes are mutually reinforcing and strategically aligned to strengthen livelihoods and deliver sustainable food security outcomes for the most vulnerable people.

Green Climate Fund approves $50 million for FAO-supported adaptation project in Jamaica
Country: Jamaica Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations FAO helps secure investments to enhance the climate resilience of vulnerable smallholders in the wake of Hurricanes Beryl and Melissa Rome/Songdo, South Korea - The Green Climate Fund (GCF) has approved a $50 million project, supported by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), to enhance the climate resilience of vulnerable smallholders in Jamaica. The project focuses on areas where climate risks and food security challenges are most severe due to an increased frequency of hurricanes, longer droughts and progressively erratic rainfall - hazards that are already lowering yields, increasing food loss, and threatening rural livelihoods nationwide. Titled ADAPT Jamaica: Enhancing climate change resilience of vulnerable smallholders in Central Jamaica , the project represents the first ever single country climate investment that Jamaica has received from the GCF. The GCF’s grant contribution amounts to over $40 million. ADAPT Jamaica was approved on Friday, during the forty-fourth meeting of the GCF Board in Songdo, South Korea. Co-financed by the Jamaica Social Investment Fund, Jamaica’s Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Mining, the Development Bank of Jamaica, and FAO, the project will reach more than 700,000 beneficiaries (around half of whom are women) across six central parishes in Jamaica that are responsible for roughly 70 percent of the country's domestic food production. The initiative builds on a previous FAO-led GCF Project Preparation Facility Readiness project that funded critical feasibility studies and site-specific analyses for ADAPT Jamaica. "This decision underscores the trust that the GCF and the Government of Jamaica place in FAO’s capacity to deliver solutions to the multiple challenges the country faces,” said FAO Director-General QU Dongyu. “Protecting vulnerable farmers and investing in sustainable and resilient agrifood systems is among the smartest choices we can make for climate action that also delivers on the Four Betters: better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life - leaving no one behind.” Floyd Green, Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Mining of Jamaica, said the approval of the ADAPT Jamaica project was both timely and critical for his country. "Our farmers are on the frontline of climate change, facing more intense droughts, stronger hurricanes and increasing production risks. This investment allows us to move from response to resilience by strengthening infrastructure, expanding access to climate-smart technologies and improving how farmers produce, store and bring food to market. It is a decisive step toward securing Jamaica’s food systems for the future," the minister said. As co-financiers and co-executing partners, the Jamaica Social Investment Fund and the Development Bank of Jamaica - both GCF Direct Access Entities - will be instrumental in ensuring the long-term sustainability and country ownership of the project. Building resilience in the wake of Hurricanes Beryl and Melissa Jamaica’s agricultural sector contributes roughly 7 percent of GDP and supports about 18 percent of the population. Smallholder farmers mainly cultivate root crops, pulses, vegetables and fruits, often on rain-dependent hillside plots. Yet, agriculture remains one of the country’s most climate-impacted sectors. Hurricane Beryl (Category 4), which struck in July 2024, caused agricultural losses exceeding $30 million and affected more than 48,000 farmers. In October 2025, Hurricane Melissa - the first Category 5 hurricane to make direct landfall in Jamaica - inflicted $6–7 billion in damage and destroyed more than 100,000 structures across key agricultural parishes. Meanwhile, climate projections point to growing risks. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report confirms that tropical cyclones will intensify as global temperatures rise. For Jamaica, this means more frequent and more destructive hurricanes, longer and hotter dry periods, and increasingly unpredictable rainfall. In addition, unsustainable land-use practices on slopes have contributed to soil erosion, land degradation and pressure on forest margins, increasing deforestation risks and weakening ecosystem resilience. Food production is further undermined by high post-harvest food loss, estimated at 30–40 percent for many crops. Farmers frequently lose tomatoes, onions and leafy vegetables due to poor post-harvesting and handling practices, lack of temperature-controlled storage and delays in reaching markets. These impacts are already reducing yields and deepening poverty among smallholder farmers, many of whom rely on rain‐fed production and have limited access to irrigation, finance, technology and climate information. ADAPT Jamaica seeks to address these challenges by integrating climate-resilient farming practices, improved water and post-harvest systems, strengthened climate information and early‐warning services, and better access to finance and markets. Through Farmer Field Schools - which will provide training on technologies such as solar-powered irrigation and cold storage, as well as practices including mixed production systems, improved crop varieties, and sustainable soil, water and nutrient management - the project aims to reduce food loss, stabilize farmer incomes, and strengthen resilience across agricultural value chains. In addition, enhanced market and finance linkages will help producers scale and sustain these improvements. Demonstration sites will feature hurricane‐resilient protected agriculture, showcasing reinforced greenhouses and shade houses designed to withstand Category 4–5 storms. Farmers will also learn how efficient irrigation coupled with water harvesting systems can help manage drought and heat stress while reducing operating costs. The model farms will promote agroforestry and soil conservation practices such as contour planting, mulching and integrating trees into farming systems to stabilize slopes, reduce erosion, restore soil health and protect surrounding ecosystems. Overall, ADAPT Jamaica represents a critical investment in the country’s long-term food security. It will strengthen climate-resilient farming systems, reduce food losses and help secure a stable food supply in the face of intensifying climate change.

World: FAO Chief Economist warns of severe global food security risks from disruption to Strait of Hormuz trade corridor
Countries: World, Bangladesh, Brazil, Egypt, India, Iran (Islamic Republic of), Kenya, Mozambique, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, United Republic of Tanzania Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Máximo Torero speaks at UN press briefing on implications of Middle East conflict New York / Rome — The Chief Economist of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Máximo Torero, warned that the ongoing disruption to the Strait of Hormuz trade corridor is triggering one of the most severe shocks to global commodity flows in recent years, with significant implications for food security, agricultural production, and global markets. Speaking at a United Nations daily press briefing, Torero highlighted that tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has collapsed by more than 90 percent within days of the escalation. The vital artery for global trade typically carries around 20 million barrels of oil per day—approximately 35 percent of global crude oil flows—alongside one-fifth of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) and up to 30 percent of internationally traded fertilizers. “This is not only an energy shock. It is a systematic shock affecting agrifood systems globally,” Torero said. He emphasized that the Gulf region accounts for nearly half of global sulfur trade, a critical input used to produce sulfuric acid for processing phosphate rock into fertilizers. Disruptions to sulfur supply risk fracturing global phosphate fertilizer production, including in major producing countries. Shipping constraints have been compounded by surging insurance costs. Following the expansion of high-risk zones in early March, war-risk insurance premiums rose from 0.25 percent to as high as 10 percent of vessel value, with coverage now resetting every seven days. Even in the event of de-escalation, normal shipping conditions may take months to resume, Torero warned. Rising input costs and risks to agricultural production The Chief Economist pointed out that the disruptions are already translating into higher costs for farmers worldwide. Fertilizer prices have risen sharply, with Middle East granular urea increasing by 19 percent in the first week of March, while Egyptian urea prices surged by 28 percent. Given that natural gas is the primary feedstock for nitrogen fertilizers, elevated energy prices are expected to sustain upward pressure on fertilizer costs. FAO projections indicate that global fertilizer prices could average 15 to 20 percent higher in the first half of 2026 if the crisis persists. “Farmers are facing a dual cost shock: they have more expensive fertilizers alongside rising fuel costs affecting the entire agricultural value chain, including irrigation and transport,” Torero said. In response, many producers are likely to reduce fertilizer application or shift toward less input-intensive crops, he added. Since fertilizer use follows a nonlinear yield response, even modest reductions can result in disproportionately large declines in crop yields, particularly in regions where baseline usage is already low. Duration of disruption will be decisive During the briefing, Torero stressed that the duration of the crisis will determine the scale of its global impact. In the case of a short-term disruption of up to one month, impacts are expected to remain contained. Global food stocks are currently sufficient, and markets could stabilize within approximately three months. The FAO Food Price Index remains about 21 percent below its March 2022 peak. If the disruption persists for three months or longer, risks escalate significantly, affecting global planting decisions for 2026 and beyond. Under a medium-term disruption scenario, FAO anticipates reduced yields for fertilizer-intensive crops such as wheat, rice, and maize, crop substitution toward nitrogen-fixing crops such as soybeans, and increased competition from biofuel production as higher oil prices stimulate demand for agricultural feedstocks. Impacts across countries Torero underscored that the effects of the crisis will vary depending on crop cycles and import dependencies. Countries currently most vulnerable include: Sri Lanka, where the Maha rice harvest is underway Bangladesh, currently in its critical Boro rice season India, facing reduced domestic fertilizer production ahead of the Kharif season Egypt, highly exposed due to reliance on wheat imports Sudan, already facing acute food insecurity In Sub-Saharan Africa, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique are particularly exposed due to high dependence on fertilizer imports. Major agricultural exporters such as Brazil may also face production impacts, with potential spillovers into global markets. Torero also highlighted two critical secondary risks: potential declines in income flows from Gulf economies could affect millions of households in developing countries relying on remittances, and export restrictions could further tighten global supply and exacerbate price volatility. Policy recommendations Torero called for urgent, coordinated international action. In the short term, it is critical to establish alternative trade corridors, provide emergency financial support to import-dependent countries, and ensure farmers have access to credit. In the medium term, countries need to diversify fertilizer import sources, strengthen regional reserves, and avoid export restrictions. In the long term, FAO recommends investing in sustainable, input-efficient agriculture, scaling alternative fertilizer technologies such as green ammonia, and treating food systems as strategic infrastructure.

NGO Statement on the International Coalition to Prevent Further Atrocities in Sudan - Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect
Country: Sudan Sources: Catholic Agency for Overseas Development, Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect, Human Rights Watch, Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust, Nonviolent Peaceforce, Plan International, Raoul Wallenberg Institute, Waging Peace We welcome the announcement by Foreign Ministers of the Sudan Core Group at the Human Rights Council on 26 February, and applaud the UK’s role in driving it. The commitment to establish a coalition to ‘prevent further atrocities in Sudan and support the Sudanese people to lay the foundations for eventual justice’ is a vital and overdue step in the international response to one of the world’s most devastating crises: one that we have collectively long called for. We share the collective outrage at the scale of suffering inflicted on Sudanese civilians by all parties to the conflict. It demands urgent, coordinated, and sustained action. The UN Fact-Finding Mission’s findings on El Fasher, laying bare the full horror of the Rapid Support Forces’ 18-month siege, and the ‘risk of further genocidal violence’, make clear that the time for half-measures has passed. The Sudanese people have waited far too long for the international community to match its words with action. As one of our Sudanese allies stated, “It won’t bring back those we’ve lost but the international momentum is so critical right now.” The Berlin Conference on 15 April, convening as the crisis enters its fourth year, provides the coalition’s first major opportunity. We urge the UK, members of the Coalition and co-hosts of the conference to bring meaningful collective prioritisation to the distinct need to protect civilians and prevent further atrocities in addition to necessary efforts to secure unfettered aid access and a halt to supply of weapons and military support to the warring parties. We urge members of the Coalition to make clear to the warring parties that they will face swift and meaningful consequences for a failure to end ongoing atrocities, including widespread sexual violence, deliberate attacks on civilians, humanitarian workers and local responders, as will those who aid and abet such actions. Sudanese civil society and the voices of survivors must be at the heart of discussions in Berlin and the work of the Coalition, not consulted on the margins. Drawing on our collective expertise and our connections to Sudanese civil society, our organisations stand ready to support this initiative. We hope this marks a sincere turning point. We look forward to working with the Coalition and its members to raise the ceiling of collective ambition and support bold follow-through to protect civilians and prevent further atrocities across all of Sudan.

Sudan: Drone Strike on Ed Dain Teaching Hospital Represents a Grave Escalation in Attacks on Healthcare Amid Increased Strain on Health System
Country: Sudan Source: Sudan INGO Forum Please refer to the attached file. Nairobi, 24 March – The Sudan INGO Forum is appalled by the latest drone attack on Ed Dain Teaching Hospital in East Darfur, which killed at least 64 people, including 13 children, two female nurses, one male doctor and multiple patients, and injured nearly 90 others. This attack rendered the hospital completely non-functional, destroying essential departments including the emergency room, pediatric ward, surgery service and a stabilisation centre that was treating children with acute malnutrition and related medical complications. It was the only functioning public medical facility in Ed Dain and its destruction is cutting off lifesaving services for hundreds of thousands of civilians. This is yet another grave violation of international humanitarian law, within a series of deadly escalations of drone attacks in recent weeks and months. Health facilities and health workers must never be targeted. Sudan’s health system is already under extraordinary pressure. After nearly three years of war, up to 80% of health facilities in conflict-affected states have shut down, while those still operational face severe shortages of staff, medicine and essential supplies. Repeated attacks on healthcare facilities, over 200 attacks were verified by WHO between April 2023 and December 2025, have killed close to 2,000 people and injured hundreds more, the vast majority of them within the last year only. At the same time, humanitarian funding is rapidly shrinking. According to interagency analysis, the imminent closure of legacy US-funded programs will result in the shutdown of at least 344 health facilities across 13 states, affecting an estimated 876,247 people every month. In East Darfur specifically, this loss of funding is expected to lead to the suspension of mobile clinics, primary healthcare services, and referral systems that communities depend on. The destruction of a central facility such as Ed Dain Teaching Hospital, combined with the withdrawal of humanitarian health programming, risks creating a near-total collapse of healthcare access in the region. The Sudan INGO Forum reiterates its urgent call on all parties to the conflict to: Fulfil their obligations under international humanitarian law and immediately cease attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, including hospitals and health facilities. Respect and protect medical personnel, facilities, and transport at all times. Adopt and enforce a clear no-strike policy on critical civilian infrastructure. Ensure safe, rapid, and unhindered humanitarian access to all populations in need. We further call on the international community to: Strongly condemn this attack and all violations of international humanitarian law. Take urgent diplomatic action to ensure the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure in Sudan. Immediately increase and frontload humanitarian funding to mitigate the severe gaps created by program closures and sustain life-saving services, particularly in conflict-affected states. The continued targeting of healthcare facilities, combined with the erosion of humanitarian service capacity, represents a devastating convergence that will cost countless lives unless immediate action is taken.

South Africa: La visite de la Directrice générale de l'OIM vient confirmer l’engagement de l'Afrique du Sud en matière de migration
Countries: South Africa, Lesotho, World Source: International Organization for Migration La Directrice générale de l'OIM a rencontré le ministre de l'Intérieur sud-africain, le Dr Leon Schreiber. Crédit photo : OIM/Samuel Odhiambo Genève/Pretoria, le 13 mars 2026 – L’Afrique du Sud est au cœur des mouvements migratoires en Afrique australe, en tant que premier pays d’accueil de migrants de la région et moteur essentiel de la mobilité de main-d’œuvre et des échanges commerciaux, a déclaré Amy Pope, Directrice générale de l’OIM, lors de sa visite officielle, réaffirmant son engagement à renforcer la coopération avec l’Afrique du Sud et le Lesotho. « L’Afrique du Sud définit la manière dont la migration est gérée dans toute cette région. Son influence a une portée qui dépasse largement ses propres frontières », a déclaré Amy Pope. « Développer des voies d’accès sûres et régulières est la bonne réponse pour stimuler la croissance économique tout en réduisant la migration irrégulière. C’est ce que nous sommes venus encourager ici. » À elle seule, l’Afrique du Sud accueille 2,6 millions de migrants internationaux, ce qui en fait le plus grand pays d’accueil d’Afrique orientale et australe, suivie par l’Ouganda avec 2,1 millions et l’Éthiopie avec 1,2 million. Cela fait de l’Afrique du Sud une destination majeure pour le travail, le commerce et l’investissement. Selon le rapport « Region on the Move » 2023–2024 de l’OIM, la région compte 12,9 millions de migrants internationaux, soit 1,8 % de la population et 43 % de l’ensemble des migrants en Afrique. L'Afrique du Sud est un pays moteur pour l'emploi et pour la croissance de toute la région. En tant qu'économie la plus dynamique et diversifiée de la région, elle fait le lien entre les marchés du travail, les routes commerciales et les réseaux d’envois de fonds qui permettent à des millions de familles de vivre au-delà de ses frontières. La migration vers l'Afrique du Sud a un impact réel sur les pays voisins. Au Lesotho, l'impact de la migration sur le développement se remarque à travers les envois de fonds, qui représentent environ 22 à 23 % du PIB du pays. Le manque de voies régulières oblige de nombreuses personnes à emprunter des voies irrégulières, les exposant à un risque d’exploitation et exerçant une pression supplémentaire sur les systèmes frontaliers. Au cours de sa visite, la Directrice générale Amy Pope a rencontré de hauts responsables afin de rappeler le soutien de l’OIM à l’Afrique du Sud et au Lesotho, notamment sur des sujets comme le renforcement des frontières, la modernisation des systèmes d’identification et la mise en place de politiques visant à rendre la migration sûre et organisée. L’OIM contribue également à développer les possibilités d’emploi légal, à protéger les personnes vulnérables et à améliorer les systèmes de gestion des déplacements liés au climat. En Afrique du Sud, l’OIM encourage les réformes visant à attirer les compétences et les investissements, en reconnaissant la migration comme un moteur de la croissance économique. Au Lesotho, l’Organisation s’engage toujours davantage auprès de la diaspora, améliore les systèmes d’envoi de fonds et encourage la mobilité de main-d’œuvre transfrontalière, créant ainsi des opportunités pour les jeunes. Cette visite a également mis en lumière le rôle de premier plan joué par l’Afrique du Sud en matière de migration, ainsi que le rôle moteur du Lesotho dans le Pacte mondial sur les migrations. Ces deux pays jouent un rôle essentiel au sein de la Communauté de développement de l’Afrique australe (SADC) et du Dialogue sur les migrations pour l’Afrique australe (MIDSA), et participent activement au Pacte mondial sur les migrations et au Forum d'examen des migrations internationales. La visite de l'OIM en Afrique du Sud intervient à un moment charnière : le 75e anniversaire de l'OIM, les 25 ans du Dialogue sur les migrations pour l'Afrique australe (MIDSA) et les 30 ans d'activités de l'OIM en Afrique du Sud. C'est l'occasion de saluer les progrès accomplis et de fixer des objectifs clairs pour des partenariats à long terme. Pour plus d’informations, veuillez consulter le Centre des médias de l’OIM .

World: Accès à l’eau potable : Muslim Hands France engagée pour réduire les inégalités d’accès
Countries: World, Gambia, Malawi, Mali, Niger, Pakistan, Sri Lanka Source: Muslim Hands International Accès à l’eau potable : Muslim Hands France engagée pour réduire les inégalités d’accès À l’approche de la Journée mondiale de l’eau, Muslim Hands France appelle à renforcer le soutien à l’accès à l’eau potable Paris, le 20 mars 2026 – Une personne sur quatre dans le monde n’a toujours pas accès à une eau potable sûre, soit 2,1 milliards de personnes. Accéder à une eau potable reste donc un enjeu critique majeur de santé publique et de développement, dans un contexte marqué par l’intensification des crises climatiques, des conflits et des déplacements de populations ( UNICEF/OMS ). Dans de nombreuses régions, la combinaison des sécheresses, de la dégradation des ressources en eau et de l’instabilité sécuritaire fragilise durablement l’accès à des services essentiels, exposant les populations à des risques sanitaires indéniables. L’absence d’accès à une eau potable sûre continue d’exposer des millions de personnes à des maladies hydriques évitables, liées à la consommation d’eau contaminée, comme par exemple les maladies diarrhéiques, qui figurent parmi les principales causes de mortalité chez les jeunes enfants, sachant que 1,7 milliard de personnes ne disposent toujours pas de services d’hygiène de base ( UNICEF/OMS ). Dans 7 cas sur 10, les foyers ne disposant pas d’un point d’eau à domicile s’en remettent aux femmes et aux filles pour la collecte de l’eau ( UNICEF ). Cette corvée quotidienne mobilise plusieurs heures par jour, au détriment de l’éducation et des activités économiques. "Dans de nombreuses communautés, ce sont les femmes et les filles qui ont très souvent la charge de l’approvisionnement en eau. Chaque heure passée à collecter de l’eau est une heure en moins pour l’éducation ou encore pour les activités économiques. Lorsque cet accès est garanti, ce sont des trajectoires de vie qui changent, avec des effets durables pour les familles et les communautés. Investir dans l’accès à l’eau, c’est aussi investir dans l’égalité et dans l’avenir" déclare Reynald Blion, directeur général de Muslim Hands France. Dans les zones exposées aux sécheresses, au stress hydrique et à une forte variabilité climatique, les forages profonds, en complément des infrastructures d’eau existantes, permettent de sécuriser un accès plus durable à l’eau, en mobilisant des nappes souterraines moins sensibles aux variations climatiques et en réduisant la pression sur les sources de surface déjà fragilisées. Au cours des deux dernières années, les actions soutenues par Muslim Hands France ont permis à plusieurs centaines de milliers de personnes d’enfin accéder directement à une source d’eau potable, grâce au déploiement d’infrastructures appropriées dans plusieurs pays d’intervention, notamment au Mali, au Pakistan, au Malawi, au Niger, en Gambie et au Sri Lanka, des pays soumis à un stress hydrique important. Ces dispositifs ont été complétés par des forages profonds dans les zones les plus exposées, afin de garantir un accès plus durable et plus fiable à l’eau. Entre 2024 et 2025, près de 3 000 infrastructures d’eau ont ainsi été mises en place ou réhabilitées dans ces contextes, où accéder à une eau potable, c’est aussi permettre de répondre aux enjeux de santé publique ou encore d’améliorer les conditions de vie des populations les plus vulnérables. Accéder à l’eau, c’est souvent un gain de temps, notamment pour les femmes et les jeunes filles ; gain de temps pouvant être mis à profit pour développer de nouvelles activités, notamment celles génératrices de revenus ou encore pour accéder à l’éducation. Accéder à l’eau c’est donc contribuer à l’autonomie et l’émancipation des personnes avec et pour lesquelles ces infrastructures sont construites. Les besoins continuent de croître, en particulier dans les contextes fragiles et affectés par les crises. C’est pourquoi Muslim Hands France, et plus globalement le réseau Muslim Hands de par le monde, continuera à investir dans l’accès à l’eau en renforçant les investissements dans des infrastructures d’eau durables ; infrastructures vitales et essentielles pour nombre de populations vulnérables, et souvent mises de côté dans de nombreuses régions du monde.
