With no negotiations scheduled and both sides vowing to continue operations, families…

Israeli air and artillery strikes across Beirut, southern, and eastern Lebanon have killed more than 120 people and forced tens of thousands to flee their homes under mass evacuation orders.

The International Committee of the Red Cross is struggling to evacuate patients from hospitals and move vital medical supplies…

The UN secretary-general has warned that Gaza is facing an “Israeli-made humanitarian crisis” as border crossings have been shut since Saturday, cutting off vital aid to a displaced and war-weary population already living amid devastation. With Rafah and other crossings largely closed, humanitarian agencies are being forced to stretch dwindling food, fuel, and medical supplies, while families struggle to survive in ruined homes, overcrowded shelters, and makeshift camps. The wider war between Israel and Iran is further complicating efforts to…

Around 6.5 million people are facing high levels of food insecurity, with nearly 2 million already in Emergency conditions and at risk of famine if assistance does not increase. Rising food prices, mass displacement, and collapsing livelihoods are stretching families beyond their limits, while funding shortfalls threaten to cut lifesaving food and nutrition programs.​ Let’s Pray: Lord Jesus, we…

Mali is facing one of the world’s most alarming yet underreported humanitarian crises, driven by armed conflict, climate shocks, and deepening poverty. Armed groups have extended control along major roads, disrupting markets, isolating entire communities, and causing fuel shortages that are crippling hospitals, schools, and basic services. Today, about 6.4 million people need humanitarian assistance, over 400,000 are internally displaced (mostly women and children), and 1.5 million children under five are suffering from acute malnutrition.​ Let’s Pray: Lord Jesus, we…

Humanitarian agencies warn that without sustained support and protection, millions of civilians will remain trapped in a cycle of blackouts, freezing temperatures, and…
