Country: Democratic Republic of the Congo Source: World Health Organization Bunia, République démocratique du Congo — Quatre infirmiers, qui étaient traités pour la maladie à virus Ebola causée par le virus Bundibugyo, ont été autorisés à quitter un hôpital de Bunia, capitale de la province de l’Ituri, après avoir guéri de la maladie. D’autres guérisons sont attendues, en particulier lorsque les personnes sont diagnostiquées précocement et peuvent accéder aux soins, ainsi qu’à mesure que la riposte à l’épidémie s’intensifie. Les agents de santé avaient auparavant pris en charge des patients atteints d’Ebola dans leur établissement au début du mois de mai. Au total, cinq personnes se sont désormais remises du virus. Un agent de laboratoire s’était également rétabli plus tôt, le 28 mai. « C’est une victoire qui mérite d’être célébrée. C’est un message fort montrant qu’il est possible de guérir d’Ebola lorsque l’on consulte tôt dans une structure de santé dédiée », a déclaré le Dr Dieudonné Mwamba Kazadi, Directeur général de l’Institut national de santé publique du pays. Pour contribuer à renforcer la prise en charge clinique, l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé (OMS) a remis aux autorités sanitaires un Centre de traitement Ebola réhabilité à Bunia. L’établissement dispose d’une capacité initiale de 24 lits, pouvant être portée à 60 lits. L’OMS met également en place une annexe à ce centre, avec jusqu’à 42 lits, qui devrait être opérationnelle dans les semaines à venir. Au 31 mai, 210 cas confirmés avaient été signalés dans le pays, dont 17 décès confirmés. Au total, 349 cas suspects sont en cours d’investigation. Seize agents de santé ont été signalés comme infectés par Ebola au cours de cette flambée. Le Directeur général de l’OMS, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, lors d’une visite à Bunia le 30 mai, a souligné que, bien qu’il n’existe actuellement aucun vaccin ou traitement homologué contre le virus Bundibugyo, « il n’y a pas lieu de perdre espoir. La maladie à virus Ebola causée par le virus Bundibugyo peut être surmontée grâce à de bons soins médicaux, et certaines personnes ici en Ituri se sont déjà rétablies. Consulter tôt fait réellement la différence. » Plus tôt dans la semaine, des groupes consultatifs de l’OMS ont annoncé que plusieurs traitements et vaccins candidats sont suffisamment prometteurs pour justifier leur priorisation en vue d’une évaluation dans des essais cliniques. L’OMS travaille actuellement en étroite collaboration avec la République démocratique du Congo et l’Ouganda pour faciliter la mise en œuvre de l’évaluation de ces produits dans le cadre de la recherche. Depuis la déclaration de l’épidémie d’Ebola le 15 mai, la République démocratique du Congo, avec l’appui de l’OMS et de ses partenaires, a mis en œuvre des mesures essentielles de riposte, allant du dépistage en laboratoire, à la surveillance de la maladie, en passant par la prévention et le contrôle des infections, l’engagement communautaire et la mobilisation des ressources. L’OMS s’engage à veiller à ce que les autres services de santé essentiels ainsi que l’assistance humanitaire continuent d’être fournis aux populations de l’Ituri et au-delà, et à ce que les actions mises en œuvre dans le cadre de cette riposte bénéficient aux communautés bien après la fin de l’épidémie.

Country: Haiti Source: REACH Initiative Please refer to the attached file. 2. Justification 2.1 Contexte et informations générales En 2026, la crise humanitaire en Haïti s’est encore aggravée, avec une intensification des besoins et une fragilisation accrue des services essentiels. Les violences armées, désormais étendues au-delà de la zone métropolitaine de Port-au-Prince vers les provinces, ont provoqué le déplacement forcé de près d’1,4 million de personnes, soit environ 12 % de la population haïtienne2. L’ouragan Melissa, survenu en octobre 2025, a accentué cette vulnérabilité en détruisant ou endommageant plus de 842 000 habitations et infrastructures vitales, perturbant durablement les moyens de subsistance3. Dans ce contexte, les Haïtiens demeurent exposés à une insécurité persistante, à des violences basées sur le genre d’une ampleur alarmante, et à des phénomènes climatiques extrêmes qui dépassent les capacités de réponse du pays. Les conséquences de cette insécurité généralisée se traduisent par une détérioration dramatique du système de santé. Depuis 2025, seuls 10 % des établissements disposant de capacités d’hospitalisation restent pleinement opérationnels et à Port-au-Prince, où vivent près de 3 millions de personnes, ce chiffre n’atteint que 11 %4. Les services obstétricaux et néonataux d’urgence sont notamment particulièrement affectés, tandis que la résurgence du choléra et la propagation de la dengue aggravent les risques sanitaires dans les zones dépourvues d’accès à l’eau potable et à l’assainissement. Parallèlement, plus de 225 000 Haïtiens5 ont été expulsés vers leur pays depuis le début de l’année, majoritairement en provenance de la République dominicaine, accentuant la pression sur des communautés déjà fragilisées. Sur le plan alimentaire, la situation atteint un seuil critique. Environ 5,83 millions de personnes vivent une insécurité alimentaire aiguë, dont 1,9 million en phase d’urgence (Phase 4 de l’IPC), plaçant Haïti parmi les crises de la faim les plus graves au monde6. Les hausses des prix du carburant ,29 % pour l’essence et 37 % pour le diesel, ont entraîné une augmentation des coûts de transport et de distribution, dépassant parfois 50 %, ce qui accentue la pression sur des prix alimentaires déjà élevés7. Malgré un léger ralentissement de l’inflation (22,1 % en février 2026), les ménages continuent de recourir à des stratégies d’adaptation érosives, tandis que la faiblesse de la production agricole et les contraintes d’accès aux intrants maintiennent le pays dans une insécurité alimentaire chronique.8 Ainsi, l’année 2026 s’inscrit dans une trajectoire de crise multidimensionnelle où se conjuguent violence armée, effondrement des services de base, déplacements massifs et vulnérabilités économiques. Les perspectives de stabilité demeurent fragiles, alors que les populations haïtiennes affrontent simultanément les menaces de la faim, de la maladie et de l’exclusion sociale, dans un contexte où les capacités nationales et internationales peinent à répondre à l’ampleur des besoins.
Country: Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of) Source: Famine Early Warning System Network Please refer to the attached file. Key Messages Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes are expected to persist countrywide through September, despite gradual macroeconomic improvements. Most poor households remain able to meet their minimum food needs, but face difficulties meeting their essential non-food needs due to extremely high food inflation in local currency and limited purchasing power. However, pockets of poor households – mainly in informal settlements around urban areas – with limited to no sources of income in USD and/or limited to no access to social safety net programs are likely to experience Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes. These households’ incomes in VED are insufficient to cover the rising cost of food, resulting in food consumption gaps or the use of negative coping strategies, without reaching the necessary threshold to change the area-level classification in any state. Macroeconomic conditions are stabilizing, but progress remains slow and incremental. Between March and April, the official exchange rate depreciated by 13.6 percent to 480.76 VED/USD while the parallel market exchange rate appreciated by 2 percent to 645.72 VED/USD. The gap between the official and parallel rates narrowed to 30 percent, declining 10 percentage points from March, supported by improved foreign currency availability throughout the Venezuelan economy. The monthly inflation rate slowed for the third consecutive month (to 10.6 percent), while the annual inflation rate was 611.9 percent (decreasing 37 percentage points from March). In April, the cost of the minimum survival ration (consisting of maize flour, rice, pasta, and oil) continued to increase in local currency at a pace similar to February and March, and increased by 11.5 percent in USD, reversing the downward trend reported last month. These increases reflect exchange rate pressures, high operational costs, increased consumer demand linked to increased social safety net benefits, speculation, and a perception of improving economic conditions, linked to stronger foreign currency inflows. Oil sector performance remained strong in April. Crude oil production exceeded 1 million barrels per day (bpd) in April, according to OPEC, marking the highest output since January 2019. Crude oil export volumes also remained above 1 million bpd, reaching levels not observed since 2018. International benchmark prices have continued to vary, but averaged 110 USD/barrel (Brent) and 104 USD/barrel (WTI) through May 18, supporting increased foreign currency inflows and government revenues, which continue to finance social safety net benefits. Increased foreign currency inflows are reducing the gap between the official and parallel market exchange rates as the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV) interventions continue to add hard currency into circulation via sales to private banks. In April, weekly intervention amounts ranged between 180 and 450 million USD, sold at an exchange rate of 570.75 VED/USD. According to the BCV, total interventions in May are expected to reach 1.35 billion USD at an exchange rate of 611.00 VED/USD. For eligible households, recent increases in social safety net benefits are improving financial access to food. Although the minimum salary remains unchanged, the Ingreso Contra la Guerra Económica (ICGE) increased an additional 33.3 percent from 150 USD in April to 200 USD in May. Given the persistent gap between the official and parallel market exchange rates, the indexed value of 200 USD is equivalent to slightly less than 150 USD on the parallel market. This amount remains sufficient to cover the minimum survival ration estimated in April to cost 95.90 USD for a household of four and to also cover a portion of essential non-food expenditures. No Comités Locales de Abastecimiento y Producción (CLAP) in-kind food assistance distributions were reported in May.
Country: Democratic Republic of the Congo Source: Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development On 15 May 2026, the Ministry of Public Health in the Democratic Republic of the Congo issued a warning about an Ebola virus disease outbreak in Ituri Province, in the east of the country. According to the World Health Organisation, within the space of a week, the number of suspected cases in Ituri province rose from 513 to 883. By 25 May, there had been 220 deaths. These figures could see a gradual increase in the coming days. The outbreak now spans more than three provinces and, due to fears of further spread, the borders around the area are gradually closing, making supplies increasingly difficult to obtain. This effectively traps humanitarian workers and increases the risk of supply shortages, both for local markets and for medical equipment. This health crisis is exacerbated by a fragile humanitarian context, large-scale population displacement, the fragility of health infrastructure, a lack of community information, as well as challenges related to patient care and the management of bodies. The eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo is also already marked by a volatile security and humanitarian situation linked to clashes between the M23 armed group and Congolese government forces. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is facing a catastrophic convergence of the Ebola outbreak and the armed conflict in the east of the country. WHO Present in the DRC since 2003, Acted has real field expertise and has been operating in 10 provinces of the country, including North Kivu and South Kivu, for over 20 years. Funded by the CDCS, the Humanitarian Fund and ECHO, Acted implements numerous emergency projects to improve access to water, hygiene and sanitation, combat food insecurity and provide decent housing for the most vulnerable. From the very first days following the crisis, Acted staff were mobilised to provide a rapid emergency response to communities affected by this outbreak. In coordination with local authorities, Acted aims to combat the spread of the epidemic by carrying out the following activities: Installing handwashing stations in public places Rehabilitating latrines and ensuring the chlorination of water points Distribute hygiene kits containing, in particular, chlorine and aquatabs Identify, revitalise and train community representatives who will be responsible for raising awareness of good hygiene practices and protective measures These areas of intervention are essential and can save lives. Every contribution is invaluable.
Country: Sierra Leone Source: International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies Please refer to the attached file. Description of the Event Date when the trigger was met 13-05-2026 What happened, where and when? On 13 May 2026, the National Public Health Agency (NPHA), in collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MoH), officially declared a measles outbreak in Sierra Leone following confirmation of sustained transmission across multiple districts. On the same day, 41 confirmed cases were reported across eight districts: Western Area Urban (Freetown), Western Area Rural, Port Loko, Bombali, Tonkolili, Bo, Kenema, and Kono. Between 14 and 19 May 2026, an additional 8 confirmed cases were identified, bringing the total to 49 confirmed cases. The outbreak is characterized by a laboratory positivity rate of 75 per cent, indicating active community transmission and likely underdetection of cases through routine surveillance systems. The spread across both urban and rural districts, including densely populated communities in Freetown, significantly increases the risk of rapid nationwide propagation. The outbreak is occurring within a context of persistent immunity gaps linked to suboptimal routine immunization coverage, particularly in underserved and hard-to-reach communities. Children under five years of age remain the most vulnerable due to low vaccination uptake, malnutrition, and limited access to healthcare services. High population mobility, overcrowded settlements, schools, and marketplaces continue to facilitate rapid transmission. Health systems in affected districts are under increasing pressure due to rising demands for surveillance, case investigation, laboratory testing, community engagement, and case management. Existing response efforts are further constrained by weak community-level surveillance, limited outreach capacity for rapid vaccination scale-up, inadequate risk communication coverage, and shortages of operational resources in high-risk districts. In response, the MoH and NPHA activated the Incident Command Centre (ICC) and initiated coordination with humanitarian and development partners to scale up containment measures, including reactive vaccination, surveillance strengthening, community engagement, and case management support. NPHA has specifically requested urgent partner support to reinforce outbreak response efforts, warning that the outbreak risks escalating further, particularly in densely populated districts, if immediate action is not taken. Despite ongoing response measures, transmission continues to expand, highlighting the urgent need for coordinated humanitarian support to contain the outbreak, strengthen vaccination uptake, and reduce preventable morbidity and mortality among vulnerable populations.

Contexto operacional Durante abril de 2026, el entorno operativo de Ecuador estuvo marcado por presiones de seguridad, ambientales y socioeconómicas que afectan tanto a comunidades de acogida como a personas desplazadas. Si bien los datos oficiales muestran una reducción en las tasas de homicidio, el análisis a nivel de terreno indica que esto refleja una contención parcial de la violencia más que una mejora estructural, con dinámicas criminales que se desplazan cada vez más entre territorios. Estas tendencias sugieren que el monitoreo de las zonas costeras y fronterizas será cada vez más importante en los próximos meses. Según datos oficiales, se registraron 2,778 muertes violentas entre enero y abril, en comparación con 3,150 en el mismo período del año pasado, lo que representa una disminución del 11.8%. A pesar de esto, la tasa de homicidios se mantiene elevada a nivel nacional. Las respuestas de seguridad continuaron bajo estados de excepción prolongados. Las operaciones militares y policiales se intensificaron en varias provincias, incluyendo Esmeraldas, Manabí, Guayas y Sucumbíos, contribuyendo a un mayor temor entre las comunidades. En zonas fronterizas como Carchi, las operaciones de control migratorio priorizaron la verificación del estatus migratorio y de antecedentes penales, mientras que ACNUR y sus socios continuaron brindando asistencia legal a personas con necesidades de protección internacional. En Esmeraldas y San Lorenzo, los incidentes de seguridad afectaron directamente a comunidades y operaciones humanitarias, lo que llevó a la suspensión temporal o adaptación de actividades, así como a la adopción de modalidades de trabajo remoto. En todo el país, ACNUR continúa acompañando a las comunidades para identificar riesgos y promover respuestas localizadas que atiendan sus necesidades. Las dinámicas de movilidad en las fronteras siguen siendo complejas. En Rumichaca, continuó la llegada de familias desplazadas, mientras ACNUR y sus socios mantienen su compromiso de facilitar el acceso a asistencia y servicios de protección. Los impactos ambientales agravaron aún más las vulnerabilidades existentes. Fuertes lluvias e inundaciones afectaron la región amazónica, particularmente en Orellana y Sucumbíos, provocando evacuaciones, interrupción de servicios básicos y daños a la infraestructura, mientras la capacidad de respuesta permaneció limitada. De manera paralela, las regiones costeras experimentaron temperaturas extremas, y la disminución de los niveles de agua en embalses hidroeléctricos clave generó preocupación sobre el suministro energético, situación que en años anteriores ocasionó cortes de energía de más de 14 horas diarias. Estas presiones internas se ven agravadas por desarrollos regionales. La escalada de violencia en el sur de Colombia continuó influyendo en los movimientos transfronterizos hacia Ecuador. Al mismo tiempo, los cambios en las políticas migratorias regionales y en las intenciones de retorno están reconfigurando las dinámicas de movilidad. Un informe reciente de ACNUR reveló que, entre personas venezolanas encuestadas en Ecuador, alrededor del 11% manifestó intención de regresar a su país de origen en los próximos 12 meses, mientras que más de dos tercios no considerarían retornar en los próximos cinco años, lo que refuerza la necesidad de seguir invirtiendo en soluciones duraderas e integración en Ecuador. En general, el contexto sigue siendo altamente volátil, con medidas de emergencia, violencia localizada y shocks climáticos que afectan el acceso a protección, servicios y medios de vida. Esto resalta la necesidad de monitoreo sostenido, una coordinación más sólida y la continuidad de la acción humanitaria. ACNUR continúa brindando protección, fortaleciendo sistemas nacionales y ampliando el acceso a servicios para apoyar la integración de poblaciones desplazadas y comunidades vulnerables.
Countries: Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of) Source: UN High Commissioner for Refugees Please refer to the attached file. Operational context Throughout April 2026, Ecuador’s operational environment remained marked by overlapping security, environmental, and socio-economic pressures affecting both host communities and displaced people. While official data indicates a reduction in homicide rates, field-level analysis suggests this reflects a partial containment of violence rather than structural improvement, with criminal dynamics increasingly shifting across territories. These trends suggest monitoring coastal and border regions will be increasingly important in the coming months. According to official data, 2,778 violent deaths were recorded between January–April, compared to 3,150 in the same period last year, an 11.8% decrease. Despite this reduction, the homicide rate remains high nationwide. Security responses continued under prolonged states of exception. Military and police operations intensified in several provinces, including Esmeraldas, Manabí, Guayas, and Sucumbíos, contributing to heightened fear among communities. In border areas such as Carchi, migration control operations prioritized verification of migration status and criminal records, where UNHCR and partners continued to deliver legal assistance to individuals with international protection needs. In Esmeraldas and San Lorenzo, security incidents directly affected communities and humanitarian operations, leading to temporary suspension or adaptation of activities and shifts to remote work modalities. Across Ecuador, UNHCR continues to accompany communities to identify risks and engage in localized responses to their needs. Mobility dynamics at borders remain complex. At Rumichaca, the arrival of displaced families continued, where UNHCR and partners remain committed to facilitating access to assistance and protection services. Environmental shocks further compounded vulnerabilities. Heavy rains and flooding affected the Amazon region, particularly in Orellana and Sucumbíos, leading to evacuations, disruption of basic services, and damage to infrastructure, while response capacity remained constrained. In parallel, coastal regions experienced extreme temperatures, and declining water levels in key hydroelectric reservoirs raised concerns over energy supply, which in the past years caused power cuts of over 14 hours daily. These internal pressures are compounded by regional developments. Escalating violence in southern Colombia continued to influence cross-border movements toward Ecuador. At the same time, shifts in regional migration policies and return intentions are reshaping mobility dynamics. A recent report issued by UNHCR revealed that among Venezuelan survey respondents in Ecuador, around 11% had intentions to return to their country of origin within the next 12 months, and over two thirds would not consider returns in the next five years. This reinforces the need to continue investing in durable solutions and integration in Ecuador.Overall, the context remains highly volatile, with continued reliance on emergency measures, localized violence, and climate-related shocks affecting access to protection, services, and livelihoods. This underlines the need for sustained protection monitoring, strengthened coordination with state and local actors, and continued humanitarian engagement to mitigate risks and support affected populations. In this line, UNHCR continues delivering protection, strengthening national protection systems, while expanding access to services to mitigate risks, uphold rights, and support sustainable integration of displaced populations and vulnerable host communities.
Country: Lebanon Source: World Food Programme BEIRUT, Lebanon – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is warning that nearly three months into the conflict, Lebanon faces a deepening humanitarian emergency with a critical combination of displacement and increased food insecurity. More than one million people remain displaced, while soaring prices, lost incomes and strained markets are pushing food further out of reach for vulnerable families. WFP has rapidly scaled up its response nationwide, but the situation remains highly fragile. Sustained humanitarian access, stable supply flows and predictable funding are critical to ensuring continued assistance for those most in need. Below are the latest updates on WFP operations and the food security situation in Lebanon: Since 2 March, WFP has reached a total of more than 700,000 conflict-affected people across Lebanon with emergency food and cash assistance. On average, WFP has supported close to 150,000 people per day since the escalation, providing hot meals, ready-to-eat rations, and food parcels to families sheltering in displacement sites. The ongoing conflict characterized by daily bombardments and displacement orders is challenging humanitarian access and resulting in continued displacement. These conditions are constraining the delivery of critical assistance, particularly in hard-to-reach areas. A total of 24 humanitarian convoys have been deployed to southern Lebanon, including border villages, Tyre and Hermel, to reach communities facing access constraints. More than 50 percent of the requested convoys have been delayed or cancelled due to movement and access risks. Current WFP assistance includes emergency cash support for close to half a million Lebanese through national systems, as well as cash support for more than 100,000 Syrian refugees. Since the onset of the emergency, WFP has distributed nearly five million hot meals, prioritizing newly displaced families arriving with limited belongings. WFP has supported more than 215,000 displaced people across over 500 shelters nationwide, alongside approximately 85,500 people in host communities and hard-to-reach areas. To help stabilize food availability, a shipment of 250 metric tons of wheat flour recently entered Lebanon through the corridor with Jordan, made possible through close coordination between Lebanese and Jordanian authorities. The shipment is supporting approximately 10,000 vulnerable households. The WFP-led Logistics Cluster has supported a total of 64 partners — including UNFPA, UNRWA, IOM, UNICEF, UNHCR, and international and national NGOs — of which 18 have utilized the logistics services to transport nearly 2,500 m³ of cargo. The latest food security analysis confirms a sharp deterioration nationwide, with 1.24 million people — nearly one in four — facing acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or worse) between April and August 2026. Displacement, rising food and fuel prices, market disruptions, and broader economic shocks are driving the crisis. While food remains available in many areas, it is becoming increasingly unaffordable. Since the start of the escalation, vegetable prices have risen by more than 20 percent, while bread prices have increased by around 15 percent. Market conditions vary significantly: in southern Lebanon and Nabatieh, more than 80 percent of markets are no longer functioning, while in Beirut and other areas markets remain operational but under growing strain. To sustain life-saving assistance and respond to rising needs, WFP requires USD 112 million between May and August 2026 (USD 44.1 million per month). Without adequate and predictable funding, WFP’s ability to maintain emergency food and cash assistance for vulnerable families across Lebanon will be at risk.

Country: Colombia Sources: El Equipo Humanitario País Colombia, UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Please refer to the attached file. Mensajes Claves En 2025 el agravamiento de la situación humanitaria en el departamento del Valle del Cauca se evidenció por el aumento del número de personas desplazadas tanto en movimientos masivos como individuales. Así mismo, se identificó un crecimiento en el número de personas confinadas en varias zonas del departamento, en especial en Buenaventura, cuarto municipio a nivel nacional con mayor población víctima por confinamiento en el año (13.000 personas afectadas), y municipios del norte y sur del departamento. La afectación se concentró en comunidades étnicas tanto afrodescendientes como indígenas de manera desproporcionada. Sumado a ello, cinco territorios fueron impactados por la segunda temporada de lluvias, generando doble afectación en alrededor de 6.000 personas. 2025 fue un año crítico por el uso extendido de armas no convencionales, los ataques con explosivos en Cali y el uso de drones para el transporte de explosivos improvisados en zonas rurales de Jamundí y Buenaventura, agravó la percepción de inseguridad y dificultó el acceso humanitario de socios para la atención, por la suspensión de misiones humanitarias, limitando también el monitoreo de protección y las labores de desminado o verificación. El Valle del Cauca es el cuarto departamento del país con mayor concentración de población refugiada y migrante venezolana, con 201.550 habitantes. Las ciudades de Cali, Palmira, Yumbo y Jamundí concentran el 81% de esa población, aunque está presente en los 42 municipios del departamento, enfrentando riesgos de protección relacionados con la discriminación y estigmatización, denegación del acceso a recursos y oportunidades, trata de personas, empleo informal principalmente en relación con las limitaciones a la regularización del status, y el desconocimiento de los derechos.
Countries: Ukraine, Belarus, Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Türkiye Source: UN Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs Drone strike in Romania underscores growing risk of spillover of the war in Ukraine, Security Council hears Madam President, Excellencies, Only last week, the Secretary-General alerted this Council to the serious risk of further escalation of the war in Ukraine, including to the broader region. Last Friday, a dangerous incident crystallized our oft-stated warnings about potential spillover of the war. On the night of 28 to 29 May, an armed drone exploded on the top floor of a ten-story residential building in the eastern Romanian city of Galaţi, injuring two residents, a woman and a child. This was not the first reported breach of Romanian airspace by an armed drone since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. However, it was the first time such an incident resulted in casualties. The United Nations does not have any additional information on the strike in Galaţi. But Friday’s incident came on the heels of a worrying trend of drone incursions into the airspaces and territorial waters of countries bordering either Ukraine or the Russian Federation. Over the past 12 months, such incidents have been reported by the authorities in Moldova, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland, Poland, Kazakhstan, and Belarus, as well as in countries in the wider region - Bulgaria, Greece and Türkiye. Madam President, The United Nations strongly condemns all attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure. Such attacks, wherever they occur, violate international humanitarian law and must cease immediately. Civilians must be protected at all times. Madam President, The Galaţi incident comes amidst a sharp escalation of large-scale missile and drone attacks by the armed forces of the Russian Federation on Ukrainian towns and cities, resulting in ever worsening toll of civilian casualties and destruction of civilian infrastructure. There has also been a marked increase in Ukrainian attacks on military, energy and industrial infrastructure in the Russian Federation, which have reportedly resulted in a growing number of civilian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure. As the Secretary-General stressed last week, the dangerous trajectory of escalation and intensification that we are witnessing today, risks getting out of control. The current course must change. Madam President, The risk of miscalculation is particularly dangerous for the safety of nuclear facilities. Such risk has only increased in recent days. On 30 May, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was informed by the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant that a drone struck a turbine building at the site, reportedly causing a hole in its wall. This was the first such attack within the Plant’s perimeter since April 2024. Yesterday, the IAEA team at the site observed damage to the exterior of a turbine building, noting that it appeared consistent with the impact of a drone. We echo the deep concern expressed by the IAEA Director-General over this serious incident that endangered key nuclear safety principles. Attacks on nuclear sites are reckless and unacceptable. They must stop immediately to prevent any risk of a nuclear accident. Madam President, Amidst heightened tensions, it is incumbent on all concerned to act responsibly and to refrain from any action that could destabilize the situation further. As the Secretary-General emphasized last week, we urgently need immediate steps towards de-escalation, leading to a full and unconditional ceasefire. To that end, we urge dialogue and negotiations to resume at once. Diplomacy needs to be given a meaningful chance to create conditions for achieving peace in Ukraine. A peace that is just, lasting and comprehensive - in line with the Charter of the United Nations, international law, and relevant UN resolutions.

INTRODUCCIÓN Desde 2020, la Plataforma de Coordinación Interagencial para Refugiados y Migrantes de Venezuela (R4V) en Ecuador, conocida como el Grupo de Trabajo para Refugiados y Migrantes (GTRM), anualmente ha efectuado una Evaluación Conjunta de Necesidades (JNA, por sus siglas en inglés) dirigida a los hogares venezolanos con vocación de permanencia y tránsito. Este ejercicio tiene como objetivo identificar y analizar las principales necesidades de la población, sirviendo como base para orientar una respuesta humanitaria coordinada y basada en evidencia. Según el Plan de Respuesta para Refugiados y Migrantes (RMRP) 2025-2026, se estima que para diciembre de 2025 la población en tránsito en Ecuador ascenderá a 325.200 personas, de las cuales aproximadamente 299.300 requerirán asistencia humanitaria (Plataforma Regional de Coordinación Interagencial para Refugiados y Migrantes de Venezuela, 2024). Esta proyección reafirma la importancia de contar con información actualizada y específica sobre las condiciones de esta población en movimientos mixtos. En este contexto, entre abril y mayo de 2025, se llevó a cabo una nueva ronda del JNA centrada en la población migrante y refugiada en tránsito de distintas nacionalidades. Los resultados revelan patrones de movilidad heterogéneos y complejos, entre los cuales se destacan: •Los flujos mixtos registrados variaron desde desplazamientos circulares hasta rutas extensas hacia el sur del continente, siendo la más recurrente la que conecta Venezuela con Perú (20,9 %). •El 87 % de los grupos familiares enfrentan inseguridad alimentaria moderada o severa, reflejada en la baja diversidad dietética de niñas y niños entre 6 meses y menores a 5 años, quienes a su vez tienen una escasa atención nutricional. El 40% de este grupo no recibió una intervención en salud nutricional en los últimos 3 meses. •El 59% de los refugiados y migrantes reportan que solicitan dinero (limosna) y donaciones en la calle para acceder a alimentos. •La educación de niñas, niños y adolescentes presentó interrupciones críticas, el 51,7 % estuvo matriculado para el período escolar 2024–2025 y el 61,1 % no accedió a ningún tipo de asistencia educativa desde su salida del país de residencia previa. •El 95,7 % de las personas en tránsito se encontraba en situación migratoria irregular en Ecuador. Esta tendencia fue más común en las personas de nacionalidad venezolana (98,3%). •El 49,5% de los grupos familiares enfrentaron situaciones de riesgo durante el viaje. En el 35,5% de los casos, algún integrante fue víctima de vulneraciones de derechos en el ámbito laboral, y en el 5,5% alguno de sus miembros fue retenido contra su voluntad por una persona ajena a la autoridad.
