Aid has no legs. No wings. No wheels.
If bread reaches a starving family, a person carried it there. Humanitarian diplomacy rarely makes headlines. But it can open a prison door.
Among our concrete results: the Netherlands joins our Protect Aid Workers programme 🇳🇱
Today is #WorldFoodDay.
For millions affected by conflict and crisis, food is not a given. The EU works with partners around the world to make sure the most vulnerable don’t go hungry. 🇪🇺

A vest marked “humanitarian” used to work like a shield. Today it can work like a target.
Day 2 of our conference on protecting aid workers: we move from diagnosis to treatment. To tangible solutions. Duty of care, data, psychological protection, accountability.
If this box could talk… 📦
On #WorldFoodDay, follow the journey of a @WFP food parcel from warehouse to the homes of families in Ukraine - made possible with EU support. 🇺🇦🇪🇺

No humanitarian aid without the people who deliver it. Aid workers risk their lives every day. They must never become targets.
The EU is expanding our Protect Aid Workers programme worldwide. This is the first tangible deliverable of our 🇪🇺 Humanitarian Communication.
A plate, a cup, a cooking pot.
For a family who has lost everything, they can be the first step back to normal.
On #WorldFoodDay, we stand with everyone sharing a meal through crisis💙

Brussels, today. The European Council meets. So do the people who risk everything to help others.
The first major Protection of Aid Workers Conference worldwide starts now. Two days to listen & come up with tangible deliverables to keep humanitarians safe.
Stay connected.
In Myanmar, 16.5 million people need humanitarian assistance - 1 in 3.
Amidst the ongoing conflict, access to healthcare remains a daily struggle. Yet local health workers continue saving lives.
The EU doesn't look away and it stands with Myanmar. ❤️

A classroom in a crate.
In late August, devastating floods swept through parts of Nepal, destroying numerous homes and schools.
The EU supported @UNICEF in setting up temporary learning tents so children can get back to class.
For children returning home, a fresh start can begin in the classroom. 🎒
With 🇪🇺 support, @UNICEF is helping children get back to learning, reconnect with friends and regain a sense of stability and normalcy.
Because being back in school means more than learning.
Today on the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, let's build more resilient communities. 🌍💪
At this school in Malawi🇲🇼, our partner @SavetheChildren is teaching children about disaster risks, how to prepare, and how to stay safe when emergencies occur.
