Country: Sudan Sources: Emergency Telecommunications Cluster, World Food Programme Please refer to the attached file. The WFP-led Logistics and Telecommunications Cluster (LTC) was activated as the Emergency Telecommunications Cluster (ETC) on 25 May 2023 in response to the conflict crisis in Sudan. This Situation Report provides a monthly update on LTC telecoms activities. All references to the LTC in this report relate to the telecommunications area of the cluster. Summary Points • In May, LTC Telecoms sustained critical connectivity across seven hubs despite funding and access constraints, while expansion plans in Khartoum slowed due to renewed insecurity. UN agencies are preparing phased returns from Port Sudan to the capital. • LTC Telecoms is transitioning to an on-demand service model, managed by WFP, using cost-recovery and costsharing to sustain operations. Piloted in Al Gedaref, the model supports shared connectivity services and is expanding to more stable areas in eastern Sudan. • LTC Telecoms is finalizing a project to support community connectivity in Khartoum, in coordination with the Protection Working Group and partner Go Green, to strengthen digital services at community centres.
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.

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: 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. A peace that contributes to a more stable regional and international environment. The United Nations will continue to fully support all meaningful efforts to that end. Thank you.
Country: Democratic Republic of the Congo Source: Action Against Hunger Democratic Republic of Congo Population: 109.3 million People in Need: 21.2 million People Facing Hunger: 40.7 million Our Impact People Helped Last Year: 1,166,711 Our Team: 440 employees Program Start: 1997 The toll of the Ebola outbreak, officially declared on May 15, continues to rise. To date, more than 120 confirmed cases, over 900 suspected cases, and more than 220 deaths have been recorded in Ituri province and North Kivu. Present in both regions, Action Against Hunger is adapting its operations to respond to this large-scale crisis. Supporting Frontline Health Facilities The current outbreak is disrupting already fragile health services in this remote area. “We are present in the Mongbwalu health zone, the most affected by the outbreak, and in three other health zones in Ituri where we fear new infections in the coming days. We are working in close coordination with health and administrative authorities in the area. Our teams are highly mobilized to support health facilities as effectively as possible, in order to protect healthcare workers, who are particularly exposed to the risk of infection,” explains Julie Drouet, Country Director of Action Against Hunger in the DRC. In 12 health facilities in Mongbwalu, Action Against Hunger is providing protective equipment for medical staff, as well as infection prevention and control supplies (chlorine, sprayers for disinfection, cleaning equipment, etc.). In the DRC, only 37% of the population has access to a safe water source, and only 30% of health facilities have access to a reliable water supply. “In this context, infection prevention measures such as handwashing are difficult to implement,” adds Ms. Drouet. “That is why we are also supporting health facilities through the rehabilitation of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure,” she continues. A Health Challenge Against a Backdrop of Structural Crisis The northeast of the DRC is one of the most fragile and conflict-affected regions in the world. The insecurity situation has led to the displacement of more than 920,000 people in Ituri province. The Congolese population faces structural vulnerabilities that make epidemics in eastern DRC particularly dangerous. “In the Ituri region, 1.5 million people are facing food insecurity, and one in three people needs humanitarian assistance. The population in this region relies heavily on local markets to feed their families. Movement restrictions will therefore have a direct impact on their livelihoods and their ability to meet their basic needs,” warns Julie Drouet. As the situation evolves rapidly, it is a real race against time to contain the outbreak. Humanitarian NGOs on the ground are facing major logistical challenges. “For the moment, even humanitarian flights to and from Ebola-affected areas are suspended, which complicates team movements. Funding also remains very limited, making activity planning difficult.” Moreover, the region was already experiencing a humanitarian crisis prior to the Ebola outbreak, further worsening an already complex situation: “We cannot afford to stop our existing emergency projects. Our teams must adapt how activities are implemented to protect communities and our staff in order to break the chain of virus transmission, but our emergency actions must continue,” concludes Julie Drouet.
Countries: Afghanistan, Pakistan Source: UN Women Earthquake survivors in Afghanistan have been forced to flee again due to Pakistan-Afghanistan border conflict. It was during an air attack in eastern Afghanistan that 30-year-old Najeeba* felt her labour pains begin. Around her, families were already on the move, fleeing renewed hostilities along the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. But her baby wasn’t going to wait. Just six months earlier, the ground had shaken beneath her feet when a massive earthquake devastated the region. Now, it was the skies that she feared. “There was no safe place”, she recalled, as the conflict reached the camp where she had been living with other families displaced by the earthquake. “Aircraft were flying overhead, and my children were extremely frightened; whenever they heard the sound, they would cry and scream.” With her husband, she packed up their tent and few remaining belongings. Najeeba gave birth in a Red Crescent clinic, then climbed into a rented mini truck with her newborn daughter, six other children aged two to 11, and her husband, and escaped to a new camp in the Maza Dara Valley, in Nurgal district. What is happening on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border and how does the conflict affect displaced women? More than 100,000 people have been displaced by the latest cross-border air strikes, shelling, drone attacks, and ground clashes in eastern Afghanistan, following the escalation of renewed hostilities along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Women and girls – who are already living under increasing restrictions on their freedoms and movement under the Taliban – and those struggling to survive the aftermath of last year’s earthquake in eastern Afghanistan have been hit hardest by the increased insecurity. An estimated 50,000 people in the affected areas are at increased risk of gender-based violence. And women have further reduced access to health and essential services. For pregnant women, the risks are even higher, as many face hunger and limited healthcare. Women displaced by border fighting in eastern Afghanistan face growing health risks; pregnant women struggle to access care For Najeeba and her family, the journey was expensive, forcing them to sell already scarce resources – precious blankets, flour, and cooking oil – just to pay for the trip to the new camp in the Maza Dara Valley. About 40 minutes away, along a steep dirt road in the mountains, another new mother reflected on the impact of the ongoing hostilities along the border. Seventeen-year-old Fahima* had given birth to her son just before the latest escalation began in late February. When the fighting started, her three other children, aged five and under, were terrified by the sound of aircraft and missiles. She and her husband – who had also been living in a camp with families displaced by the earthquake – decided to leave, selling flour and borrowing money to pay for transport. Less than a year ago, they were farmers, growing sorghum, wheat, and kidney beans to feed their family or sell for income. Now, forced to move for the second time in six months, they are running out of food. “Our land was destroyed [in the earthquake] and there is no work here”, Fahima said. “We give more food to our children and eat less ourselves.” More than two-thirds of women in ten impacted provinces have lost income, according to the Afghanistan Gender Coordination Group. Three-quarters report finding it harder to find food and more than four-in-ten report greater difficulty accessing healthcare. Women are also more likely to experience psychological distress. What is UN Women doing to support women and girls in eastern Afghanistan? With funding from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, and through a local partner, UN Women has been supporting women-only safe spaces in camps for families displaced by the earthquake. Counsellors provide much-needed mental health support, while the spaces also offer a rare opportunity for women to connect with each other in privacy, despite the crowded camp conditions. Two of the four safe spaces have now been relocated due to the conflict. Each tent is run by a team of two, a manager and a counsellor, who provide support to women during the day, and cook and sleep in the same space at night. Many have toddlers with them, and return home to their older children, one day a week. Supporting Afghan women affected by trauma and displacement “We stay together and eat together – we are like a mother and daughter”, said Zaland,* 25, a counsellor who moved to a new location with her colleague after the hostilities escalated. Inside their newly re-erected safe space, bright balloons hang from the roof and multicoloured cardboard signs carry messages of mental health support along the walls. “Some of the women have suffered a great deal”, added Zaland. “Some have lost family members, some have lost their homes, some have lost livestock, and some have hungry children.” After counselling, she says, some women leave to collect wild plants to eat. Her colleague, Mastoora,* 36, explains the impact of their work. “The happiness I feel comes from knowing that, even if I cannot do much for a woman, I can at least say something that helps her”, she said. “When I go home, I explain [to my daughters] that I am working for women – they are happy when they see their mother going somewhere to serve other women.” For 17-year-old Fahima, the service helps her cope better, despite the daily struggle she faces to feed her four children. “When we come [for counselling], we feel relieved and our mood improves”, she says. “We would not come if they were male counsellors; the female counsellors are like our sisters, and we can speak openly with them.” Sustained humanitarian support is critical for women and girls in Afghanistan As families continue to endure double displacement following the 2025 earthquake, and now the on-going hostilities, women and girls are affected distinctly and immensely. Sustained support is essential to ensure that women’s civil society organizations can maintain vital women-only safe spaces and other community-based services, providing protection, mental health support, and dignity for those most at risk. * Names have been changed to protect identities.
Countries: Honduras, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Haiti, Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of) Source: UN High Commissioner for Refugees Please refer to the attached file. Operational Context & Analysis Honduras faces a multifaceted crisis stemming from a context of fragile law and order, pervasive organized crime, gang violence, widespread poverty and inequality, and high vulnerability to the impacts of extreme climate events. With one of the world’s highest murder rates1, violence in Honduras is generalized, chronic, structural, and indiscriminate, making it a primary driver of displacement. Access to protection and assistance remains a significant challenge, particularly for those facing heightened risks due to their vulnerability. Certain groups are disproportionately affected, including children, women, indigenous people, people of diverse sexual orientation, political activists, schoolteachers, transportation workers, and human rights and environmental defenders. These populations often require urgent and tailored protection responses and alternatives to address their specific needs effectively. More than 247,000 people have been internally displaced in Honduras, with many more at risk of displacement. Internal displacement in the country stems from generalized violence and rights violations, including (i) social and territorial control by gangs, drug trafficking or organized crime groups, (ii) extortion, (iii) forced recruitment, use and association, particularly targeting youth; (iv) dispossession and destruction of housing, land, and property; (v) gender-based violence; and (vi) political violence. These multifaceted challenges faced by the Honduran population are starkly reflected in the significant number of Hondurans seeking asylum. During 2024, 27,888 Honduran nationals sought asylum in México, ranking as the first nationality of asylum requests to this country3 and in 2025 remain in the top five nationalities4. These figures underscore the life-threatening situations that force people to flee Honduras. Additionally, in 2024, 44,394 Hondurans were returned to their country of origin, and from January to December 2025, this figure reached 41,110 people, 7% of whom were identified as having protection needs in Honduras and 14% who had requested protection outside their country. Since 2022, Honduras has also been a transit country for an unprecedented number of refugees and migrants. However, the dynamics changed significantly in 2025. Unlike the unprecedented south to north flows observed in 2023 and 2024, 2025 saw a notable reduction of 89% in entries. According to the Honduran National Migration Institute (INM), between January and December 2025, 39,384 people entered the country irregularly, south to north route6. Meanwhile, according to UNHCR and partners, it is estimated that over 32,200 refugees and migrants have travelled from north to south.

Countries: Lithuania, Ukraine Sources: International Organization for Migration, UN High Commissioner for Refugees Please refer to the attached file. Background Between 24 February 2022 and October 2025, over 5.7 million individuals are estimated to have fled Ukraine due to the ongoing war.¹ Of these, more than 101,000 have entered the Republic of Lithuania (hereafter referred to as Lithuania). At the time of writing of this report, more than 51,000 individuals held valid temporary residence permits pursuant to the temporary protection mechanism.² This remains the largest arrival of refugees recorded in Lithuania's history. The population that has settled in the country primarily consists of women (47%) and children (31%), along with elderly individuals (13%) and persons with disabilities (6%)—groups that often face heightened risks and require targeted support and services.³ Given the continued instability in Ukraine, it is anticipated that displacement will continue in 2026, with new arrivals seeking refuge in Lithuania and joining those already residing in the country. Lithuania has demonstrated a strong and sustained commitment to welcoming and assisting refugees fleeing Ukraine since 2022. The Ministry of Social Security and Labour leads the national coordination of the refugee response, while municipalities and civil society organizations play active roles in providing direct support and services. This collective effort— driven by government institutions, civil society, and local communities—reflects a comprehensive whole- of-society strategy aimed at ensuring protection and inclusion. Despite these coordinated efforts and the availability of tailored support for individuals with specific needs, many refugees continue to face barriers that limit their ability to fully sustain themselves and support their families. The 2025-2026 Regional Refugee Response Plan (RRP) builds on previous iterations by providing targeted, practical support to host countries. It further aims to ensure groups such as older people, children, people with disabilities and survivors of gender-based violence are receiving specialized assistance to address their needs, and that they are not left behind as the response shifts towards sustainability. To support a coordinated and effective response, access to comprehensive data is crucial for the design, delivery, and assessment of assistance programmes. In this regard, UNHCR Lithuania, working in collaboration with IOM and Lithuanian Red Cross, as well as other key actors engaged in the refugee response within Lithuania, carried out the 2025 Lithuania Socio-Economic Insights Survey (SEIS). The SEIS is a collaborative, inter-agency initiative designed to identify the most urgent needs of refugees coming from Ukraine across key sectors, including protection, health, education, accommodation, and livelihoods. It aligns with the objectives of the Regional Refugee Response Plan (RRP) for the Ukrainian refugee situation5 and specifically supports Lithuania's inter-agency RRP, led by UNHCR. SEIS serves as a source of important and comprehensive data for service providers. The 2025 SEIS in Lithuania was coordinated by UNHCR and developed through a collaborative effort, including with focal points from government, humanitarian actors and civil society, to ensure the survey maintained a multi-sectoral and inter-agency approach. Drawing on their specific expertise, each actor contributed to the design phase of the 2025 SEIS. The process included consultations at a round table event bringing together the key stakeholders involved in the refugee response. This final report serves as a strategic tool to guide humanitarian interventions in Lithuania throughout 2026 and beyond, informing the work of partners and stakeholders. It supports a more targeted and prioritized response and reflects the Grand Bargain commitments6 to improved harmonization and coordination of assessment efforts.
Countries: World, Argentina, Barbados, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Panama, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Uruguay Source: International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies Panama City, 1 June 2026 — Although forecasts point to a below-average hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) today recalled that high cyclonic activity is expected in the eastern Pacific. The organization called for sustained investment in preparedness, anticipatory action and early warning systems across more than 25 countries1 in Central America, North America and the Caribbean that are exposed to tropical cyclones. For the 2026 season in the Atlantic basin, which runs from 1 June to 30 November, the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasts, with a 55 per cent probability, below-average cyclonic activity relative to the historical average of 14 named storms and seven hurricanes. This year, NOAA notes, there would be between eight and 14 named storms. Of these, three to six would become hurricanes, including one to three major hurricanes — that is, Category 3 or higher. By contrast, the agency forecasts, with a 70 per cent probability, a more active season in the eastern Pacific Ocean, where it predicts between 15 and 22 named storms, of which nine to 14 would become hurricanes and five to nine of those would reach major hurricane strength. "We will say it again and again: a single storm is enough to destroy communities, overwhelm public services, and displace and endanger hundreds of thousands of people," said Cristian Torres, Deputy Regional Director of the IFRC for the Americas. "Forecasts are critical so that we can act before disasters strike, but beyond knowing how many storms there will be, it is essential to reduce people's vulnerability, expand the coverage of early warning systems, and develop, fund and test inter-agency protocols that protect them from the multiple hazards they face," he added. As part of its commitment to preparedness, the IFRC has already prepositioned in Panama, Santo Domingo and other strategic locations across the region enough relief supplies to provide immediate assistance to up to 60,000 people affected by a large-scale emergency. The stock includes hygiene and kitchen kits, mosquito nets, tarpaulins, cleaning and construction tools, solar lamps, water treatment units and water purification supplies, among other items. Aware that mobilizing humanitarian aid in record time requires the participation, knowledge and collaboration of multiple actors, the IFRC also relies on simulation exercises as a critical tool to test crisis and disaster response mechanisms and protocols. The most recent, held this past May, aimed to measure and improve mobilization times, customs procedures and the inter-agency response capacity of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras in the face of potential flooding caused by hurricanes. The exercise involved mobilizing Red Cross water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) specialist teams and equipment across these three countries. The initiative brought together civil protection, customs and foreign affairs authorities, along with the National Red Cross Societies. It was supported by European Union humanitarian funding and the German Red Cross, and was carried out within the framework of the Regional Mechanism for International Humanitarian Assistance, the instrument of the Central American Integration System (SICA) for organizing, facilitating and coordinating humanitarian assistance among its member countries. Another of the preparedness measures driven by the IFRC ahead of the hurricane season is the adoption of early action protocols. These protocols bring together measures agreed in advance among communities, authorities, and the Red Cross, which are triggered when certain risk thresholds are reached. Depending on the context, these actions may include cash transfers ahead of an emergency to protect homes and livelihoods, the relocation of essential goods, the reinforcement of critical infrastructure, or the evacuation of people in situations of greater vulnerability. When these systems work, communities receive timely alerts, authorities have more time to coordinate evacuations, and humanitarian teams can mobilize aid before the impact occurs. In Central America alone, the IFRC currently has five early action protocols for floods and tropical storms, financially supported by its Disaster Response Emergency Fund (IFRC-DREF). "Prepositioning relief items, simulation exercises and early action protocols make it possible to protect lives, reduce economic losses and speed up recovery after a disaster," Torres explained. "But rules can also save lives and build community resilience, which is why we call on all countries in the region to advance the international treaty for the protection of persons in disaster situations, currently under consultation at the United Nations." This treaty seeks to ensure that the protection of people exposed to or affected by disasters does not depend on chance, but on clear commitments and coordinated action. Its adoption, expected in 2027, would facilitate international cooperation and reduce the obstacles that can delay the arrival of aid. It would also improve the conditions for Red Cross Societies, as auxiliary to the public powers, to continue assisting the most vulnerable people: women, girls, older people, people on the move or with disabilities, and communities affected by violence and poverty. This season, shaped by the influence of the coming El Niño phenomenon, illustrates how risk can shift and take different forms across the continent. While Grenada, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados, Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti and the Dominican Republic continue to recover from hurricanes Beryl, Oscar, Rafael and Melissa, other areas face different threats. The Central American Dry Corridor, parts of Chile and areas of the Andean region are bracing for possible droughts, while Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay anticipate heavy rains and flooding. In all of them, Red Cross teams are already working with communities to get ready. Against this backdrop, where climate, health and social risks accumulate and overlap with growing frequency, the IFRC calls for investing without delay in measures that enable States, communities and the Red Cross itself to better protect people in the face of multi-hazard scenarios. Because, as underscored at IFRC's recent XXXIII Pre-Hurricane and Recurrent Hazards Conference, when risks pile up, the difference between a hazard and a humanitarian crisis is usually decided before the impact — in the level of preparedness already in place, and in the capacity to act before the disaster occurs.

Countries: World, Argentina, Barbados, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Panama, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Uruguay Source: International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies Ciudad de Panamá, 1 de junio — Aunque los pronósticos apuntan a una temporada de huracanes por debajo del promedio en el océano Atlántico, la Federación Internacional de Sociedades de la Cruz Roja y de la Media Luna Roja (IFRC) recordó hoy que se prevé una alta actividad ciclónica en el Pacífico oriental. La organización llamó a mantener la inversión en preparación, acción anticipatoria y sistemas de alerta temprana en más de 25 países2 de América Central, América del Norte y el Caribe expuestos a ciclones tropicales. Para la temporada 2026 en la cuenca atlántica, que va del 1 de junio al 30 de noviembre, la Administración Nacional Oceánica y Atmosférica de Estados Unidos (NOAA) prevé, con 55 por ciento de probabilidad, una actividad ciclónica por debajo del promedio histórico de 14 tormentas con nombre y siete huracanes. Este año, apunta NOAA, habría entre ocho y 14 tormentas nombradas. De estas, entre tres y seis se convertirían en huracanes, incluyendo entre uno y tres huracanes mayores, es decir, de categoría tres o superior. En contraste, la agencia prevé, con un 70 por ciento de probabilidad, una temporada más activa en el océano Pacífico oriental, donde pronostica entre 15 y 22 tormentas con nombre, de las cuales entre nueve y 14 se convertirían en huracanes, y entre cinco y nueve de ellos en huracanes mayores. “Lo repetiremos una y otra vez: una tormenta basta para destruir comunidades, colapsar servicios públicos y desplazar y poner en peligro a cientos de miles de personas”, afirmó Cristian Torres, director regional adjunto de la IFRC para las Américas. “Los pronósticos son críticos para que actuemos antes de que los desastres sucedan, pero además de saber cuántas tormentas habrá, es indispensable reducir la vulnerabilidad de las personas, ampliar la cobertura de los sistemas de alerta temprana, y desarrollar, financiar y probar protocolos interinstitucionales que las protejan de las múltiples amenazas a las que están expuestas”, añadió. Como parte de su compromiso con la preparación, la IFRC ya tiene almacenada en Panamá, Santo Domingo y otros puntos estratégicos de la región suficiente ayuda humanitaria para asistir de forma inmediata a hasta 60.000 personas afectadas por una emergencia de gran magnitud. El stock incluye kits de higiene y de cocina, mosquiteros, lonas, herramientas de limpieza y construcción, lámparas solares, plantas potabilizadoras e insumos para la purificación de agua, entre otros. Consciente de que movilizar la ayuda humanitaria en tiempo récord requiere la participación, el conocimiento y la colaboración de múltiples actores, la IFRC apuesta también por los simulacros como una herramienta crítica para poner a prueba los mecanismos y protocolos de respuesta a crisis y desastres. El más reciente, celebrado en mayo pasado, tuvo como objetivo medir y mejorar los tiempos de movilización, los procesos aduaneros y la capacidad de respuesta interinstitucional de El Salvador, Guatemala y Honduras ante posibles inundaciones provocadas por huracanes. El ejercicio de simulación consistió en movilizar, a través de esos tres países, equipos especializados en agua, saneamiento e higiene (WASH) de la Cruz Roja. En esta iniciativa participaron los entes rectores de protección civil, las autoridades de aduanas y relaciones exteriores y las Sociedades Nacionales de la Cruz Roja. Apoyado por la Cruz Roja Alemana y fondos humanitarios de la Unión Europea, el simulacro se enmarcó en el Mecanismo Regional de Asistencia Humanitaria Internacional, el instrumento del Sistema de la Integración Centroamericana para organizar, facilitar y articular la asistencia humanitaria en sus países miembros. Otra de las acciones de preparación impulsadas por la IFRC ante la temporada de huracanes es la adopción de protocolos de acción anticipatoria. Estos protocolos agrupan medidas previamente acordadas entre las comunidades, las autoridades y la Cruz Roja, que se activan cuando se alcanzan determinados umbrales de riesgo. Dependiendo del contexto, estas acciones pueden incluir transferencias de efectivo antes de la emergencia para proteger viviendas y medios de vida, el traslado de bienes esenciales, el refuerzo de infraestructuras críticas o la evacuación de personas en situación de mayor vulnerabilidad. Cuando estos sistemas funcionan, las comunidades reciben alertas oportunas, las autoridades cuentan con más tiempo para coordinar evacuaciones y los equipos humanitarios pueden movilizar ayuda antes de que ocurra el impacto. Actualmente, la IFRC tiene, sólo en Centroamérica, cinco protocolos de acción temprana ante inundaciones y tormentas tropicales que cuentan con apoyo financiero de su Fondo de Emergencia para la Respuesta a Desastres (IFRC-DREF). “El preposicionamiento de ayuda humanitaria, los simulacros y los protocolos de acción anticipatoria permiten proteger vidas, reducir pérdidas económicas y acelerar la recuperación tras el desastre”, explicó Torres. “Pero las normas también pueden salvar vidas y construir resiliencia comunitaria, por eso hacemos un llamado a todos los países de la región a impulsar el tratado internacional para la protección de las personas en situaciones de desastre, que se encuentra en consulta en las Naciones Unidas”. Este tratado busca que la protección de las personas expuestas a desastres o afectadas por ellos no dependa del azar, sino de compromisos claros y acciones coordinadas. Su aprobación, prevista para 2027, facilitaría la cooperación internacional y reduciría los obstáculos que pueden retrasar la llegada de la ayuda. Además, mejoraría las condiciones para que las Sociedades de la Cruz Roja, como auxiliares de los Estados, sigan asistiendo a las personas en mayor vulnerabilidad: mujeres, niñas, personas mayores, personas en situación de movilidad o con discapacidad y comunidades afectadas por la violencia y la pobreza. Esta temporada, marcada por la influencia del fenómeno de El Niño, ilustra cómo el riesgo puede desplazarse y adoptar distintas formas a lo largo del continente. Mientras Granada, San Vicente y las Granadinas, Barbados, Jamaica, Cuba, Haití y República Dominicana continúan recuperándose de los huracanes Beryl, Óscar, Rafael y Melissa, otras regiones enfrentan amenazas diferentes. El corredor seco centroamericano, parte de Chile y zonas de la región andina se preparan para posibles sequías, mientras que Argentina, Brasil y Uruguay anticipan lluvias intensas e inundaciones. En estos países los equipos locales de la Cruz Roja ya están preparando a las comunidades. En este marco, donde los riesgos climáticos, sanitarios y sociales se acumulan y se superponen con creciente frecuencia, la IFRC hace un llamado a invertir sin dilación en medidas que permitan a los Estados, las comunidades y a la propia Cruz Roja proteger mejor a la población frente a escenarios multiamenaza. Porque, como se recalcó en la XXIII Conferencia Pre-Huracanes y de Amanezas Recurrentes de la IFRC, cuando los riesgos se acumulan, la diferencia entre una amenaza y una crisis humanitaria suele definirse antes del impacto. Está en el nivel de preparación existente y en la capacidad de actuar antes de que ocurra el desastre.

Countries: Türkiye, Afghanistan, Iran (Islamic Republic of), Iraq, Syrian Arab Republic Source: UN High Commissioner for Refugees Please refer to the attached file. Introduction The Community Pulse is a UNHCR-led multi-partner, community-based joint protection and needs assessment mechanism that follows on from the earlier Inter-Agency Protection Needs Assessment (IAPNA). Conducted regularly since 2020, it provides a common evidence base on the evolving conditions, needs, and priorities of refugees across Türkiye. Building on previous rounds, the exercise serves as a platform for collective analysis, strengthening protection-sensitive programming and informing strategic planning under the Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan (3RP) and other inter-agency frameworks. The October 2025 round (Round 9 in the cumulative series) was implemented to capture recent changes in access to services, information, basic needs, livelihoods, and protection dynamics among refugee communities. Data collection took place between 8 September and 9 October 2025, with results consolidated in early October to inform the 3RP’s 2026 planning cycle and programming adjustments at national and local levels. This report presents an analytical overview of headline findings and trends, with comparisons to previous rounds—including the August 2024 assessment (Round 8) and the intentions-focused February 2025 Community Pulse update. Further cycles of the Community Pulse assessment will be carried out to validate and complement the information provided in this analysis.
Country: World Source: Regional Technical Group on Anticipatory Action in Latin America and the Caribbean Please refer to the attached file. The Technical Working Group on Anticipatory Action for Latin America and the Caribbean (GTAA LAC) publishes this briefing note in light of the forecast of an El Niño episode for the second half of 2026, with increasing probabilities of reaching strong to very strong intensity towards the end of the year. The document analyses current ENSO conditions, the differentiated impacts projected by subregion, and the compound effect of the fertilizer crisis stemming from the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz on regional agrifood systems. As of March 2026, the region has active or developing anticipatory action frameworks in 22 countries, with pre-arranged financing of USD 37.8 million. The note documents the ongoing inter-agency activations in the Central American Dry Corridor, funded by CERF with USD 10.5 million to protect up to 145,000 people in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, as well as complementary WFP activations in Nicaragua and Belize, IFRC Early Action Protocols, and ongoing actions in South America. The document presents the activation time windows by subregion and includes recommendations for governments, humanitarian actors and donors aimed at scaling up anticipatory action before the impacts of El Niño materialize on the most vulnerable populations in the region.
Country: South Sudan Source: United Nations Please refer to the attached Infographic. Overview The Upper Nile state, particularly Malakal, has been one of the most affected areas in South Sudan by conflict, displacement and recurrent climatic shocks. Once a major commercial hub, Malakal has experienced repeated cycles of violence - including renewed clashes in March 2025 - disease outbreaks and economic instability. Today, Upper Nile has over 225,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs), 20 per cent of whom reside in the former Malakal “Protection of Civilians” (PoC) site which was redesignated as an IDP settlement in February 2026. The state also hosts the country’s largest number of refugees at over 293,000 people. In spite of challenges, recovery efforts are gradually enabling returns and livelihood opportunities. Upper Nile records the highest number of returnees in South Sudan, with over 736,000 people having returned from within the country and abroad. ABC in Action Following the operationalization of Area-Based Coordination (ABC) in 2023, the Government, supported by the UN and partners, launched the Upper Nile Durable Solutions Roadmap in 2024. Coordinated interventions, such as peacebuilding efforts, landmine clearance, restitution of land rights, shelter construction and provision of protection services, have supported safe and voluntary returns in Malakal, Fashoda and Manyo. Investments in livelihoods and economic recovery are also helping households to recover. Since 2025, additional pilot activities have been underway in Nasir, Ulang, Baliet, Longochuk and Maiwut. Background Area-Based Coordination (ABC) was established in South Sudan in 2023, under the auspices of the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, in three pilot states: Upper Nile, Unity and Western Bahr el Ghazal. ABC aims to facilitate the transition from life-saving assistance to longer-term solutions, enabling greater complementarity of humanitarian, development and peace actions through joint planning and programming with governments and partners at the local level. In 2025, amidst unprecedented funding cuts and building on progress from the pilot states, the UN and humanitarian leadership have pooled resources to scale up ABC to cover all ten states in South Sudan.

Country: Democratic Republic of the Congo Source: International Rescue Committee Delayed detection and slow contact tracing suggest virus has likely spread undetected for months Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, June 1, 2026 — The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is likely significantly larger and more advanced than official figures suggest, as response efforts struggle with delayed detection and dangerously low levels of contact tracing, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) warned today. With only 20% of contacts currently being traced, health authorities are struggling to identify and isolate new chains of transmission. The virus may have been spreading undetected since before March, potentially as long as three months before the first official case was identified, allowing multiple chains of transmission to establish across communities and provinces. The combination of these factors dramatically increases the likelihood that the true scale of infections is far higher than reported, the IRC warned. Rachel Howard, Senior Technical Emergency Health advisor at the IRC, said: “The true scale of this Ebola outbreak is likely far worse than official figures suggest. When four out of five contacts are not being traced, it becomes incredibly difficult to contain the outbreak or even understand its true scale. We’re especially concerned about the virus spreading to other countries like Burundi or South Sudan.” IRC teams warn that shortages of diagnostic cartridges and testing backlogs are slowing confirmation of cases, further obscuring the true spread of the outbreak. Seven confirmed Ebola patients have reportedly left treatment centers in the DRC, while more than six healthcare workers have died, including two doctors in recent days. The incidents underscore the deep fear and mistrust some communities continue to have toward Ebola prevention and treatment efforts. People are avoiding health facilities, raising fears that those affected are remaining within communities rather than seeking treatment. As a result, transmission is spreading across multiple areas, and communities are losing trust in the response. Strengthening local, community-based prevention and infection control should be the immediate priority to control the outbreak at the source. Without urgent funding, the situation could deteriorate rapidly. This outbreak is increasingly resembling the 2018–2020 North Kivu Ebola crisis, which infected thousands of people and was complicated by insecurity, population movement, and community resistance. However, unlike previous outbreaks, there is currently no approved vaccine available for this Ebola strain. The IRC is calling for urgent international support to scale up contact tracing, surveillance, laboratory testing, treatment capacity, and community engagement efforts before the outbreak escalates further. It is also critical to build trust with affected communities, including through survivor-led awareness and risk awareness activities. In response to the current escalating outbreak, whilst working in close coordination with the government health authorities who are leading the response, IRC has launched prevention and control activities, including distribution of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as well as awareness raising activities amidst communities at risk, rehabilitation of triage areas and rehabilitation/construction of showers, latrines and waste disposal areas. In Uganda, IRC is working with the Ministry of Health on the border to support infection, prevention and control activities including screening people coming across the border. IRC is also supporting response coordination in Uganda.

Country: Lebanon Source: International Organization for Migration Beyrouth, 22 mai 2026 – Une alliance d’organisations non gouvernementales humanitaires internationales et locales au Liban a lancé une campagne mondiale de collecte de fonds afin d’aider les familles du pays à se relever des impacts cumulés du conflit, du déplacement et de la crise économique. L’initiative est conduite sous les auspices du ministère libanais des Affaires sociales et facilitée par l’Organisation internationale pour les migrations (OIM). « L’urgence humanitaire au Liban appelle une réponse rapide, coordonnée et fondée sur la dignité », a déclaré la ministre Haneen Sayed. « Le ministère des Affaires sociales conduit cet effort, notamment à travers le filet de protection sociale adaptatif aux chocs, notre mécanisme national d’aide d’urgence en espèces, qui a déjà atteint plus de 140 000 ménages déplacés. Mais l’ampleur des besoins exige une solidarité plus large. » Son Excellence a ajouté : « Cette alliance mondiale rassemble les communautés de la diaspora libanaise, les soutiens internationaux et les organisations de la société civile autour d’une responsabilité partagée : se tenir aux côtés des familles touchées par la guerre et le déplacement. Engagés pour le Liban constitue un complément important aux efforts nationaux, en contribuant à mobiliser des ressources là où elles sont le plus nécessaires. » Le Liban continue de faire face à une succession de crises. Alors que le pays peine à se remettre d’une crise économique et financière prolongée, les hostilités récentes ont davantage fragilisé les moyens de subsistance, déplacé des familles et bouleversé la vie quotidienne. Même dans les foyers encore debout, de nombreux ménages peinent à couvrir leurs besoins essentiels, à reconstituer leurs revenus et à retrouver une certaine stabilité. « L’aide en espèces offre aux familles la souplesse nécessaire pour répondre à leurs priorités. Qu’il s’agisse de nourriture, de médicaments, de frais de logement ou de transport, les ménages savent mieux que quiconque où se situent leurs besoins les plus pressants », a déclaré Mathieu Luciano, chef de bureau de l’OIM au Liban. « En fournissant une aide en espèces, nous renforçons l’autonomie des familles et les aidons à consolider les bases nécessaires pour retrouver leur stabilité. » L’alliance humanitaire internationale comprend Save the Children Lebanon, World Vision in Lebanon, Care International in Lebanon, Himaya Daeem Aataa et le Conseil danois pour les réfugiés. Elle veille à ce que l’assistance soit acheminée par l’intermédiaire des mécanismes de coordination des Nations Unies établis et au moyen d’approches communautaires. Les ménages soutenus par l’alliance Engagés pour le Liban sont identifiés grâce aux registres nationaux et aux évaluations des partenaires, permettant ainsi à une assistance ciblée d’atteindre les personnes qui en ont le plus besoin.
