As #Ukraine faces its coldest winter in 12 years amid attacks on energy systems, CARE and People In Need convened experts ahead of the SOM.
The message was clear: Protecting power, investing in renewables, and ensuring energy resilience are vital to protect civilians and save lives this winter 💡❄️
🚨 #Ukraine: Ahead of the #SOM, NGOs warn: women, people with disabilities, older people, Roma & LGBTQIA+ communities are being left behind.
❗Gender & inclusion cannot wait: inclusive, locally-led responses must be funded
👉 Full statement here: reliefweb.int/report/ukrai...
🚨 The #AidWatch 2025 report is officially here!
The report calls for bold reforms to restore ODA’s purpose: prioritising inclusive human development and reaching least developed countries.

Today’s the day! ⏰
@concord-europe.bsky.social will launch today the #AidWatch 2025 report, marking 20 years of tracking and advocating for more effective ODA.
👁️Keep an eye out for their 10 key recommendations to reform ODA governance, restore credibility, and ensure aid delivers real impact.
“This includes critical shipments of food parcels, medical supplies, hygiene kits, dignity kits, and maternal and infant care items. Our mandate is to save lives, but due to the registration restrictions civilians are being left without the food, medicine, and protection they urgently need.”
“Since the full siege was imposed on 2 March, CARE has not been able to deliver any of our $1.5 million worth of pre-positioned supplies into Gaza,” said Jolien Veldwijk, Country Director of CARE.
#Gaza joint statement: #Israel threatens to ban major aid organisations as starvation deepens.
+100 organisations are calling for an end to Israel’s weaponisation of aid.
Most INGOs have been unable to deliver a single truck of lifesaving supplies since 2 March.

Israel’s siege on #Gaza is causing mass starvation. Palestinians are trapped in a cycle of hope and heartbreak, waiting for #assistance and ceasefires, only to face worsening conditions.
Call your government to take immediate action! #StopStarvingGaza #EndTheSiege #CeasefireNOW
Our Director @juligonzalez.bsky.social now LIVE with
@odieurope.bsky.social and @unwomen.bsky.social for an interesting event: 'Gender Equality at the Centre of Financing for Development and the #EUBudget'!
We explore how the #EU can consistently deliver on its commitment to #GenderEquality!
🚨 EU leaders will meet at the #EUCO on 26–27 June.
🧐 Don’t let them shrink the EU’s External Action. We need strong funding for #SustainableDevelopment, #HumanRights and #PovertyReduction.
❌ No cuts to Heading 6! No merging of external instruments!

➡️Close to 400 Palestinians have been killed in less than a month while attempting to access food aid.
➡️Gazans are having to make the choice between facing starvation & risking death while waiting for food.
⚠️We need an immediate end to the blockade & for humanitarians to be allowed to do their jobs.
Adaptation is a lifeline, not a luxury!
A new @CARE_Danmark report reveals wealthy nations are failing #ClimateFinance promises—again. Funding is dropping, leaving vulnerable communities facing floods & droughts alone.

It's 🌍 NGO Day!
A day to recognise the fundamental work of all the NGOs around the world (a particular shoutout to our members!❤️)
We are glad that also the Commission acknowledged it by including civil society protection in its final work programme, an important result of the #CS4EU campaign! 💪
