3FM Serious Request 2012: Reducing infant mortality in Ethiopia The purpose of the project is to reduce the number of neonates and infants dying of preventable diseases and pregnancy and birth related complications. Developing nations have high rates of pre- and neonatal birth death rates, Ethiopia among them. Most of these deaths are due to infectious diseases, others caused by poor maternal health, sexually-transmitted disease and infection, affecting rural populations with little access to quality healthcare. The country also has one of the world's highest mortality rates for mothers, with 673 deaths per 100,000 live births, compared to 290 in developing and 14 in developed countries. To care for the health of new born infants and mothers, the Red Cross will equip health facilities and providers with skills and knowledge, build the capacity of women child-bearing age, strengthen linkages between the community and the health delivery system, and foster behaviour change communication to develop capacities for self care. The programme targets infants and mothers. The project will take place in Chiro district of the West Harrarghe zone, Siliti district of the Siliti zone, Ebnat district of South Gondar and Awebere District of the Jijjiga zone.

Tanzania Surge deployment (Bonface) This appeal supports the Tanzanian Red Cross Society (TRCS) to deliver assistance and support to a total of 20,000 people with a focus on the sectors of emergency health, water, sanitation, hygiene promotion, emergency shelter, and relief. Since april 2015 there is a significant increase of Burundian refugees entering Tanzania seeking protection and assistance from the pre-electoral clashes in Burundi. In may 2015 Nyarugusu refugee camp received 15,000 refugees, and more than 30,000 refugees reported at Kagunga border post located along the shore of Lake Tanganyika. Unverified reports indicate a figure of 88,000 all having crossed to Tanzania with numbers rising each day. A cholera outbreak in camps in Tanzania reinforces the urgency of the situation and the critical lack of sanitation. This operation includes the following activities. Conduct continuous assessment to understand the immediate needs of the refugee population and response gaps, which will inform a revision of the activities planned if required. Procurement/distribution of non-food items including blankets (two per beneficiary), buckets (one per beneficiary), jerry cans, laundry soap, hygiene kits and menstrual hygiene management (MHM) kits. Mosquito nets to reduce the risk of malaria. Medical screening of new arrivals at 4 entry points in 10 medical tents. Construct 300 emergency communal latrines at 4 entry points. Procure and distribute bottled drinking water at 4 entry points. Procure and distribute water purification tablets. Procurement of one warehouse tent and 50 family tents. Sexual and gender-based violence and the protection of children will be integrated in the health interventions to promote access to health care for women. Provide 50 temporary shelter shades for the refugees arriving to shield them from harsh weather conditions as they wait for registration at the four entry points (30 shelters at Kabanga, 10 shelters at Ilagala, 6 shelters at Manyovu and 4 shelters at Katanga) The proposed preliminary strategy will enable the TRCS to deliver assistance to a total of 20,000 people with emergency health, water, sanitation, hygiene, and emergency shelter (6,000 people will receive basic non-food items). Survival and basic needs of vulnerable groups (in particular pregnant, lactating women or single female-headed households with young children) are met at 4 entry points. The 4 entry points with provisions are in Kagunga, Ilagala, Manyovu and Katanga. The 3 reception centres are in Nyarugusu camp.

Somalia Drought 2016 This Emergency Appeal supports the Somali Red Crescent Society to deliver assistance and support to 78,990 drought-affected people, with a focus on health and care, water, sanitation and hygiene, food security, nutrition and livelihoods.
interventions. Poor post-Gu (long rains) exacerbates drought conditions leading to reduced pasture land, water shortages, and deaths of livestock. This has increased the number of acutely food insecure people to emergency levels, with 38% of the Somalia population acutely food insecure, and 304,700 children under 5 years of age acutely malnourished. Reports indicate that 4.7 million people are food insecure with an estimated 930,000 already in IPC Phase 3 (crisis) and 22,000 in Phase 4 (emergency). Without humanitarian assistance the situation will deteriorate. This objective will be achieved through food assistance through mobile money transfers to 900 households (5,400 people) for over 3 months Provision of health services to 78,990 people through the deployment of mobile clinics. Nutrition screening for 15,798 children (<5 years), treatment and referrals of complicated cases. Provision of clean and safe water for consumption through rehabilitation of 12 boreholes and 12 berkeds (Somaliland and Puntland). Provision of fuel subsidy for 10 boreholes and 6000 ceramic water filters. And health and hygiene promotion through training 120 volunteers (Somaliland and Puntland). Moneytransfers are offered to 5,400 people, health services to 78,990 people and nutrion screening to 15,798 children. These and all other activities focus on vulnerable populations of Somaliland and Puntland. This project aims at the regions of Somaliland (Hargeisa, Sahel, Sool Sanaag) and Puntland (Bari and Nugal).
Solarization of WASH Infrastructure in Lebano Solarization of WASH Infrastructure in Lebanon, in response to both the Cholera outbreak and the economic / financial crisis Cholera is a bacterial infection caused by a bacteria called Vibrio Cholera and can be caught by drinking or eating contaminated water and food. The first case in the region was detected in Syria on the 10th of September 2022. The virus rapidly spread, crossing the border into Lebanon. The first cholera case in Lebanon was reported on the 5th of October, and by the 13th of October, Lebanon has reported 29 confirmed cases in Akkar and Baalbek governorates. Based on the current context of water service operation, there is a need to provide water pumping and chlorination stations, as well as other water infrastructure, with an alternative source of energy. This project aim is to Reduce the national risk of cholera transmission by ensuring an improved access to safe water within the host communities and the Syrian refugees in Informal settlements. Similar projects conducted by LRC WASH team for solarization of water pumping and chlorination station in North Lebanon reached 10,000 beneficiaries. Consequently, this project is expected to solarize 1 system and thus reach around 1,000 beneficiaries. National Level concentrating on Cholera hotspots
Addressing food shortages as a result of the South Sudan crisis 2018 the Red Cross implemented a new approach to emergency response coordination – the Movement Response Plan – which responds to protracted crisis in conflict. At the beginning of 2017, IFRC, ICRC and Red Cross Movement partners came together to support the South Sudan Red Cross in responding to the critical needs of the most vulnerable. South Sudan is seen as one of the most complex responses for humanitarians today. War has not only resulted in innumerable lives lost and millions internally displaced, but it has also put a major strain on communities and resulted in an extreme disruption to livelihoods. The situation is expected to intensify in 2018 as the country enters the dry season and rising food prices, lack of access to land and crops, food shortages and difficult humanitarian access continue to compound the crisis. The South Sudan Red Cross is providing essential household items, livelihood and agricultural opportunities, water and sanitation, health and psychosocial support to families impacted by conflict and disaster. Reaching some of the most remote and hard-to-reach communities, the South Sudan Red Cross is supporting 105,000 people who are severely food insecure in three areas of the country: Aweil East and Central, Kapoeta East and Yirol East. 105,000 people who are severely food insecure.

Emergency Shelter for survivors of sexual and gender based violence in Burundi This intervention will be executed in two phases, the first phase will consist of purchasing of land and building of an infrastructure in the vicinity of the BRCS health center. This service will be an annex of the Kinindo Red Cross Health Centre. During this phase we will also be able to provide shelter to SGBV victims through hotels and/or rentals. The second phase will be much more holistic with activities ranging from training of staff and volunteers, group activities for SGBV victims in view of their socio-economic reinsertion in the community, community sensitization in neighbourhoods and schools and supporting the national Hotline number. Additionally, support will be given to the Red Cross branches for income generating activities to insure sustainability of the action through own funds of the Burundi Red Cross Society.

Burundi elections crisis 2015: supporting refugees in Rwanda This Emergency Appeal supports the Rwandan Red Cross to reach 10,000 people with a focus on interventions in the areas of emergency heath (first aid, psychosocial support, and violence prevention), water, sanitation and hygiene promotion, shelter and settlements, food security, nutrition and livelihoods, and a component of disaster preparedness and risk reduction. Due to election tension and violence, more than 160,000 people are reported to have fled Burundi (including 77,000 to Rwanda), since april 2015. On 25 April, Burundi’s current President announced he would run for a third term in the upcoming presidential elections (26 June 2015), which has sparked widespread protests in the capital, Bujumbura, and intensified the pre-election tension across the country. An overall response strategy to support the affected population (including both refugees and host communities) is active until June 2016. This is informed by the expectation that people that have fled Burundi will remain in Rwanda for months to come given the uncertain political situation in the country. Through this appeal, response strategies have been prioritized in the sectors of Health and care (including PSS), Water, sanitation and hygiene promotion, Shelter and settlements, Food security, nutrition and livelihoods and Disaster preparedness and risk reduction. Through this Emergency Appeal it is expected that 10,000 people (2,000 families) will be reached, which will comprise 7,500 people (1,500 families) living in the Mahama camp, and 2,500 people (500 families) living in the surrounding Munini host community. Beneficiary selection will be based on the existing understanding of the most affected vulnerable families, with prioritization of female-headed households, children without parents, and those families who have visibly fewer belongings and means than others in the camp and host community. Focus of activities will be on Mahama camp and Munini host community.
Refugee crisis 2015: support to refugees in Germany This project is a bilateral initiative from German Red Cross Society to deploy two HR delegates. Europe has seen hundreds of thousands of migrants cross both its land and sea borders in 2015. Migrants arrive in Greece, Italy, and Hungary, with some 750,000 via the Mediterranean, the most commonly used route to Europe, facing dangerous journeys that have left more than 3,000 dead. There are many groups—Afghans, Eritreans, Kosovars, Iraqis, Albanians—fleeing different conflicts and abuses heading for Europe, but the continuing armed conflict in Syria is the leading cause for population movement. Between January and October 2015, there were almost 180,000 asylum applications from Syrians alone. Two Dutch delegates were temporary stationed in Germany. This project is a bilateral cooperation between German Red Cross Society and Netherlands Red Cross. Germany
3FM Serious Request 2012: Reducing infant mortality in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon The purpose of this projects is to increase resilience and reduce infant morality rates through providing better care for pregnant women delivering in Palestinian Red Crescent Society Lebanon Branch hospitals by increasing knowledge on personal care during pregnancies and for new-borns, and making improvements in Palestinian Red Crescent Society Lebanon Branch hospitals. Palestinian refugees in Lebanon have few rights and live in poverty, where illness and infant mortality are high, the latter at 19 per 1000 live births and neonatal deaths at 14 per 1000 live births. Access to prenatal care is low, and the influx of Syrian refugees further strains the health care systems of the UNRWA and Palestinian Red Crescent Society Lebanon Branch, which are responsible for Palestinians. The UNRWA subsidises the Palestinian Red Cross in Lebanon's hospitals for births, but the Red Cross hospitals remain underfunded and do not have the capacity to treat complicated births due to inadequate equipment and staff knowledge. In order to educate pregnant women, and given Palestine Red Crescent Society Lebanon Branch's minimal role in primary health care, it will be engaged by the Netherlands Red Cross in creating one-to-one health education sessions for women before, during, and after birth, augmenting primary health services provided by UNRWA and Medical Aid for Palestinians, which also provides services to Palestinian refugees. Structural improvements in Palestinian Red Crescent Society Lebanon Branch hospitals will also be made along with equipment upgrades, and staff will receive training in hygienic delivery methods, neonate care, and how to use new equipment. The project targets all women delivering in Palestinian Red Crescent Society Lebanon Branch hospitals, who will benefit from improvements in staff training and hospital infrastructure. The project centres on five Palestinian Red Crescent Society in Lebanon Branch hospitals in Saida, Beirut, Tyre, Tripoli, and Beqaa.

Creating local capacity on Solarized Water Powered Systems This project aims at training local capacity in national society to shift water systems from diesel fuel to solar Globally, an estimated 785 million people do not have access to a basic drinking water service. This means they must rely on sources like rivers or lakes – prone to contamination – or travel more than 30 minutes to collect drinking water. Many solutions provided for water systems are running on costly and polluting fuel. This may also enhance the vulnerability of communities in crisis, as many crisis come with fuel shortages. Solarization of water system is now regarded as a best practice to be streamlined across the movement. Netherlands Red Cross wants to enable technical local staff to access and master technical knowledge on this subject to promote and execute the switch from fuel to solar powered systems. 12 local staff from national societies Nairobi, Kenya
Refugee crisis 2015: support to refugees in Serbia This project by the Red Cross of Serbia focuses on the evolving needs of migrants. Currently, the operation centres on: food and cash vouchers, health care, first aid, hygiene promotion, restoring family links, and contingency stocks for a potential deterioration of the humanitarian situation. In the recent influx of migrants to Europe, Serbia has primarily served as a transit country for those seeking other destinations in western and northern Europe. From January to August 2015, 66,000 asylum seekers were registered, with the total number of migrants crossing its borders being even higher. The majority of migrants arrive in Serbia from the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and the Republic of Bulgaria, and between January and mid-October 2015, 223,000 migrants were registered in Serbia as having come from these countries, with up to as many as 3,000 arriving per day as of early September 2015. As migrants cross the border into Serbia, they usually contact either a processing centre or a mobile registration centre. At the processing centre, migrants are registered and given registration papers. Here, they can rest, and beds, toilets, and showers are provided along with food, hygiene items and other services, or they can choose to keep moving to another destination. Mobile centres register migrants but have no accommodation or sanitation facilities, and are found in border cities where migrants frequently enter the country. Registration usually takes 12 to 24 hours, after which migrants receive food, water, certificate of processing, and are able to rest for a few hours before moving on. If migrants seek asylum in Serbia, they have 72 hours to reach an asylum centre, where medical care is also provided. This project aims at primarily assisting migrants who arrive in and move throughout Serbia. As such, the operation targets: 97, 860 individuals immediately upon arrival on the borders with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria, 97,860 beneficiaries to be assisted during the migratory trail throughout the country, and 97,860 individuals on the border between Serbia and Croatia (or Hungary, based on the evolving situation). Within this framework, those is need of survival essentials, such as food, water, hygiene items, those in need of urgent medical care, and women, children, the elderly, and the disabled are targeted. The municipalities of Presevo, Zajecar, Negotin, Dimitrovgrad, Pirot, Bujanovac and four municipalities in Vojvodina, Kanjiza, Subotica, Sid and Sombor (the latter two near the Serbian-Croatian border), as well as the city of Belgrade, are targeted.
