Thirteen years into the humanitarian crisis in Syria, and one year after the deadly February 6 earthquake, here’s what you need to know about the country's fragile humanitarian situation. 

Humanitarian organisation Concern Worldwide has scaled up its response in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where each day thousands of people are fleeing from the moving frontlines of a conflict involving multiple armed groups. 

Across eastern DRC, thousands of people are tired, hungry, sick and scared, living in makeshift shelters tightly packed into informal sites often around churches, schools, monasteries, or other peoples’ homes that they hope might offer a measure of safety. Many of these people have fled conflict several times over the past months, caught up in tides of displacement caused by escalating attacks on their communities. As the crisis continues, people like Christian Olodo, Concern’s Area Coordinator for North Kivu, work tirelessly to reach the most vulnerable with emergency assistance.

As we look forward to 2024, Concern is committed to working together with the millions of people living in extreme poverty to transform their lives, reaching those in emergency situations with essential support, and advocating for change to policies and practices to make a positive and sustainable difference for the world’s most vulnerable communities. 

Ten years after the first N4G Summit 2013, hosted by the UK Government, we are encouraged to see the UK Government taking the leadership again in mobilising global efforts to end the malnutrition and hunger crisis. The summit was an important step for putting nutrition high in the international development agenda of the FCDO and global leaders.

As temperatures begin to drop, the people of Ukraine face a second harsh winter of survival in below-freezing conditions. Rural communities in the eastern regions – on the border with Russia, are particularly badly hit.

The 6th August marked six months since devastating earthquakes hit Türkiye and northwest Syria. At least 58,000 people tragically lost their lives and many more were affected.
