Aid workers are #NotATarget
#Cameroon: Aid workers and ops under attack in the Anglophone regions. Recent cases just the latest in a long line of incidents in which humanitarians have been targeted both by armed separatists and gvt forces. Read latest from @hrw hrw.org/news/2020/06/04/rene… #NotATarget

Timely and important statement by the Humanitarian Coordinator on increasing attacks against humanitarian work in NW and SW regions
Humanitarian action in the NW SW regions of #Cameroon is under attack. Six aid agencies have had workers kidnapped or illegally detained in the last 2 mths. More than ever, scaling back means putting people's lives at risk. My statement @reliefweb bit.ly/3cDvm9a
Humanitarians are not a target.
Great work by @chrda_africa

Great work from @Reachoutreo, in difficult conditions !
Ask me anyday, anytime a TEAM I will love to work with, I’m definitely going for 👇🏾. Just when I thought we could not do it in so short a time, they gave me strength to carry on. 250 hand wash stations set up in 4 days in 30 conflict affected communities. #Covid_19

OCHA and UNHCR in a mission where UNHCR distributed shelter kits to crisis-affected persons in Bali Nyonga (Northwest Cameroon). This is a great approach.
OCHA & Cluster Coordinators extend coordination meetings to field locations. Humanitarian Coordination Forum with partners in Kumba. Similarly monthly meetings/visits to Mamfe, Kumbo... throughout 2020
The attack by Non-State Armed Groups against the Supermont Personnel Truck near Ekona, Fako, Southwest yesterday killing 2 civilians and injuring many more is a breach of IHL.The breaches of IHL need to stop now

The NWSW humanitarian community is deeply concerned about confirmed reports that the Catholic Mission Primary School in Beleuh, Lebialem, Southwest was burned by the Cameroon military on 17 December 2019. #AttacksOnEducation need to stop
