Neglect of humanitarian crises matters not just because it creates unimaginable levels of human suffering, but it also prevents action when this might still stop the worst from happening.
There is a way.
With @NRC_Egeland, we're highlighting it also 👇:

At the 6th @hucovienna today, meeting at a time of unparalleled humanitarian needs around the 🌍.
Nearly 340 million people need assistance.
The equivalent of the number of people in need that has risen only during past year is over five times the population of 🇦🇹.

While in Vienna today, I have also met with some of the members of the 🇦🇹 parliament, to discuss the rapidly changing risk landscape in Europe and beyond requiring better preparedness and joint efforts at all levels - from local, regional, national to 🇪🇺 level. #StrongerTogether https://t.co/GrvMG9hM8x

Good exchange with the 🇦🇹 federal MoI Gerhard Karner about Austrian as well as collective 🇪🇺 emergency preparedness in the framework of the #EUCivilProtectionMechanism. I was glad to hear that 🇦🇹 will continue to be a proactive member state, demonstrating #EUsolidarity in action. https://t.co/y35EwRtchs

The EU condemns the appalling attack on a school in Western Ugandan last night.
This terrorist violence targeting children is beyond comprehension.
We are in full solidarity with the people of #Uganda.

The humanitarian consequences of the conflict in #Sudan are enormous. The EU has been working resolutely to alleviate the suffering of most vulnerable.
I invite the whole international community to show solidarity with the affected with today's pledges.

The 🌍 must assist to meet the humanitarian needs in #Sudan.
In the pledging event co-hosted by the EU, #TeamEurope committed over €500 million, including €190 million by the @EU_Commission.
Unconditional and unhindered access to those in need remains crucial. https://t.co/IiKT2J1op0

Droughts are one of the most visible effects of climate change.
This year, the western Mediterranean faces low river flows and crop yields earlier than ever.
Our EU measures aim to protect water resources, facilitate water reuse and address leakage in water supply networks.

Timely discussion with Ambassador of 🇪🇬 to the EU, Badr Abdelatty on humanitarian situation in #Egypt following the #Sudan crisis. By now close to quarter million Sudanese were allowed to find refuge in the country. I reassured him the EU will continue to support most vulnerable. https://t.co/9ZLf59LmTC

Appalled by the news of the attack on a displacement camp in Ituri, #DRC, resulting in 45 deaths, including 23 children. Those responsible for this unspeakable atrocity should be brought to justice, and all civilians should be protected – they are #NotATarget!
