🚨 9,600 people affected by floods and landslides in #Myanmar’s Tanintharyi region will receive emergency aid, including cash support, shelter and clean water.
🇪🇺 The EU is providing €225,000 via @IFRC_DREF to support the response and reach affected families.

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 🇳🇱

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.
EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 retweeted
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.

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.

2025 was the worst year on record for aid workers: 1,187 killed, injured, kidnapped or detained.
Behind the numbers: Roshida, Oleh, Justine. The EU helped them stay safe & recover.
The EU protects those who protect lives. See you at the Protect Aid Workers conference 🇪🇺

Relentless drone strikes have been targeting displaced people in #Sudan’s West Kordofan and Blue Nile states in recent days.
Attacks on civilians must stop. Those who violate international humanitarian law must be held accountable.

Our Emergency Response Coordination Centre is monitoring the situation in Panama, where a major earthquake struck tonight.
We express solidarity with the people of Panama and stand ready to support if requested.

Yesterday I visited Tebnine Hospital, the only remaining hospital in South Lebanon. I met dedicated staff working under immense pressure. With @eu_echo funding, @ICRC_lb provides vital support.
Healthcare facilities and medical staff must be protected at all times, in line with International Humanitarian Law.

Elisabeth Koek, @eu_echo protection advisor, is currently in the overcrowded Cishemere transit site in Burundi. With thousands of families - primarily women & children - fleeing ongoing violence in the DRC, the site is facing unprecedented strain. 🇧🇮 🇪🇺

After the earthquake that hit Colombia on 10 August, the 🇪🇺 continues to help affected communities.

Aristotelis Damigos and Rune Kyndal.
They came from different countries but answered the same call.
On 2 August 2026, they lost their lives while fighting wildfires in Greece.
We all owe them a debt of gratitude 🇪🇺

Conflict. Extreme weather.
Rising living costs.
Millions of people are affected across the globe.
Europe is stepping up to support them.
Glad to announce more than $800 million for displaced people and their hosts across Africa.
And aid for for war-stricken communities.

Thank you, @eu_echo🇪🇺, for increasing your support through @UNOCHA Humanitarian Funds.
Across some of the world’s most urgent crises, your contributions put funding quickly behind the priorities and partners best placed to reach people in greatest need.
