In Al Jazirah, 109,000+ farming households urgently need agricultural support—that's 1 in every 10 households across the state. Agricultural inputs & cash support are critical to restore production & livelihoods. More in this #DataInEmergencies brief👉bit.ly/48HygZi

WFP’s cash transfers empower families to buy the food essentials they need. For displaced families, this assistance is critical for their survival. Thank you, @ECHO_CESAfrica @eu_echo, for making this possible.

On #UHCDay, I reaffirm @WHOEMRO’s commitment to quality health services that are accessible and free from financial hardship for everyone. In our Eastern Mediterranean Region, people get only a little over half of the health services they need and too many families are still forced to choose between paying for medicine and paying for essential living expenses. I call on every country in the Region to act and make universal health coverage a priority; protect people from high health costs; strengthen primary health care and ensure that refugees, migrants and vulnerable families are not left behind. Together, we can make #HealthForAll a reality. #Partners4Health @UHC_Day | @UHC2030 l @UN

Chairperson of the African Union Commission on the reported attack on civilians in Kalogi, South Kordofan, #Sudan. The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, H.E. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, condemns in the strongest possible terms the horrific reported attacks in Kalogi, South Kordofan, in which more than 100 civilians, including dozens of women and children in a pre-school, who were reportedly killed. The deliberate targeting of children, educators, medical personnel, and civilians seeking to assist the wounded, as reported in media accounts, represents a flagrant violation of international humanitarian and human rights law. The Chairperson is appalled by the repeated and escalating atrocities committed against civilians in the region and deeply concerned by reports of continued aerial bombardment, drone attacks, and assaults on vital civilian infrastructure, including hospitals and schools. He calls for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire by all parties to halt the bloodshed, as well as the full protection of civilians — particularly children, women, and the elderly — in line with international law. He further urges unhindered humanitarian access to enable lifesaving assistance to reach affected communities, and stresses the need for accountability for all violations, calling for independent investigations to ensure that those responsible for these heinous acts are brought to justice. The African Union stands in solidarity with the people of Sudan and reiterates its commitment to working with regional and international partners to prevent further atrocities and support a return to dialogue, peace, and stability.
