😇🇺🇦 The Angels of Salvation are evacuating those trapped by the war in Pokrovsk, eastern #Ukraine, just five kilometres from the frontline, every day. Under threat of drone strikes and explosions, we are assisting these dangerous missions by providing 2 ambulances thanks to the support of the Czech people through our SOS Ukraine Emergency Appeal. 🥣💶Evacuees find temporary shelter in a transit point where they receive humanitarian aid, register for cash assistance and prepare for further relocation to safer regions. 📺Find out more about these courageous volunteers.

‼The 2024 Global Hunger Index (#GHI) reveals little progress in reducing hunger since 2016 and dim prospects for achieving Zero Hunger by 2030. Multiple factors, including conflict, climate change, and economic downturns and structural inequalities, drive this lack of progress. ⚠️At PIN, we see that many countries we work in face moderate to alarming hunger levels, reflecting persistently high child undernutrition. In our country programmes, we are working hard to realise 2024's GHI theme, How #GenderJustice can advance #ClimateResilience and #ZeroHunger. 🔍For example, with a score of 30.7, placing it 115th out of 127 countries scored for the 2024 index, #Zambia has a hunger level that is considered SERIOUS. 💡Our colleagues in Zambia are working hard through projects supporting smallholder farmers in their switch to biochar compost, enhancing their crops' resilience against drought and providing food for their families and communities. 📚Learn more: https://buff.ly/4awd8oo The GHI is an annual peer-reviewed look at 🌍 hunger and food and nutrition insecurity prepared by our Alliance2015 partners Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe (WHH) 👉Find out more: https://buff.ly/47xncfz

🇺🇦 As we enter 2025, we enter the third year of Russia's senseless war with Ukraine and the displacement of millions of Ukrainian refugees around the world. And while the war is certainly no longer the media frenzy that it once was, it is no less important. Questions like "which country in Europe hosts in most refugees today?" and "how many Ukrianians have actually returned home?" are still pertinent questions and require thoughtful answers. 👉 For this reason, we urge you to check our in-depth analysis of the current situation of the Ukrainian refugee crisis and continue to #StandwithUkraine : https://buff.ly/3Ut5SVq

🌍The past week in #Syria marked a turning point for the humanitarian landscape in the country. According to the #UN, since 28 November, approximately one million people—mostly women and children—have experienced displacement. ⚠"Cities along the former frontline are almost empty after heavy fighting in past years with no electricity, water, medical services, or schools available," says Tomáš Kocian, our Regional Director for the Middle East. Many are now returning to formerly government-controlled areas. We maintained food security activities and supported bakeries and reconstruction work in northwest Syria. Other programmes are being revised based on the situation and assessments are ongoing. We will continue to exercise caution, ensuring we assess developments before making any long-term decisions while remaining flexible to emerging needs. 🔎Read our article to learn more: https://buff.ly/4gvaEJP

☀Taking Action Against Desertification, Land Degradation, and Drought! Why does this matter? Land degradation impacts over 3 billion people worldwide, reducing agricultural productivity, threatening biodiversity, and worsening climate change. It leads to food insecurity, displacement, and economic losses. Solutions are clear and include: ✅ Restoring degraded land to enhance productivity and resilience ✅ Promoting sustainable land management to balance development with conservation ✅ Addressing the links between land degradation, climate change, and biodiversity loss to create integrated solutions. ✅ Supporting communities most affected by desertification to secure livelihoods and food security. 📽Watch Julian Burgos, our Climate Resilience Strategy Lead, explain how we tackle this global challenge. 📚Read our article from World Desertification and Drought Day to learn more about our work: https://buff.ly/3RAB7vz Let's amplify solutions and drive action! #COP16 #Desertification #LandRestoration #Sustainability

🗣️Let’s ensure nutrition stays at the top of the EU’s development agenda. That's why we need the EU to keep nutrition at the heart of its international development cooperation. To tackle the global food crisis, EU stakeholders must 🔸commit to the primacy of the right to adequate food 🔸allocate adequate resources in the multiannual financial framework (#MFF) 🔸renew and strengthen the EU Action Plan on Nutrition 🔸reaffirm the EU's commitment to the Nutrition for Growth (#N4G2025) agenda 🔸strengthen civil society’s role in nutrition governance 🔸make nutrition a key component of partnerships. When working with the private sector, prioritise engaging local food producers and SMEs to enhance food and nutrition security in partner countries. Join the call for strong EU Leadership to end malnutrition↩️ https://buff.ly/3CV3jEK

🇺🇳 ⚖️ 📜On December 10, 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was adopted. Since then, December 10 has allowed us to recall one of humankind's principal values, namely freedom. When freedom to exercise human rights is threatened, our societies are endangered. For this reason, we have supported human rights activists for over 25 years. 💡More about what we do here: https://buff.ly/3EeravF
