Ethiopia - IDP Population Movement Since September 2017, over 1.2 million people have been internally displaced mainly along the Somali-Oromia borders, due to conflict. These people are still suffering due to a lack of basic services and facilities such as shelter, water and health care. In addition, localized inter-communal conflict has also been claiming lives of many people, damaging property, belongings and livelihoods in Moyale Somali and other parts of the country. Since 18th April 2018, there has been growing tension and conflict in the region following a significant political, social and economic reform the Federal government is implementing all over the country.
Since 4th August 2018, there have been ethnic clashes between Somali and non-Somali ethnic groups in the Somali region of Ethiopia. The clashes have turned into widespread violence causing at least 52,000 people being internally displaced in Jijiga, Kebri Dehar, Degehabur and Gode towns.
These clashes have disrupted the local markets with business centres shutting down and traders closing their businesses due to the insecurity. The closure of market and economic activities will, as such, result in further deterioration of food insecurity in affected communities. According to Voice of America; Amharic service dated 7th August 2018, the Somali Jijiga University with 9,000 students has also been affected by the market disruptions, as students are now unable to access food and other basic services.
In Jigjiga, one of the most affected towns of these inter-communal tensions, at least 10,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) are reported to have gone back to their partially damaged houses not because they are safe but to escape extreme cold and heat weather -- temperature ranges between 18 degrees centigrade to 45 degrees centigrade in the Currently, the critical needs identified are emergency food, water, shelter, non-food items as well as emergency health and care including psychosocial support. Out of the estimated 52,000 affected people, 50% are still living in temporary shelters in churches and around military camp in Jijiga, Degehabour, Kebri Dahar and Gode. The remaining 50% people are believed to have returned to their partially damaged houses, reassured by the presence of the Federal police and army in the conflict areas. Shelter, Water, sanitation and hygiene Although all IDPs are in need of immediate assistance, priority shall be given to 13,000 people or 2,600 displaced households (25% of total caseload) who lost their entire belongings and livelihoods and remain in Jigjiga, as well as to the most affected households in Kebri Beyahe, Deghabur and Gode as detailed in Table 1 below. Special attention will also be given to women headed households with many children, the elderly, the disabled and critically sick and the injured people. In addition, those who have not received any support from ERCS, the government, UN agencies or any humanitarian agencies so far will be targeted by the intended Movement partner’s humanitarian assistance.

Food insecurity in Malawi This project is a response to the food security needs of a total of 10,000 drought and flood-affected beneficiaries for six months. The strategy entails the immediate provision of food assistance and strengthening community resilience. Southern Africa is hit by long periods of droughts and flouds. Initially Malawi suffered from drought, followed by flooding in te south of the country. Because of low agricultural production especially vulnerable people suffer, for example thos infected by the HIV virus. The strategy entails the immediate provision of food assistance and strengthening community resilience in two southern districts of Nsanje and Phalombe to allow vulnerable households to meet their basic food needs. Within the 10,000 targeted beneficiaries, a medium-term intervention will support 1,000 households (5,000 people) through the provision of agricultural inputs for the 2015/16 cropping season. Agricultural training will also be conducted with 100 lead farmers who will cascade the knowledge and skills to the targeted beneficiaries. In Nsanje, a total of 109,9421 persons are considered affected by the emergency food insecurity crisis, while in Phalombe a total of 120,0002 people are considered affected. The Government and the interagency committee of humanitarian actors have developed the following criteria for beneficiary selection: Malnourished people, Chronically ill persons, Persons with disabilities, Child-headed households, Female-headed households, The severely poor (those living on $1.25 per day or less) All assistence is directed towards two regions: Nsanje and Phalombe.

Emergency medical support services for Syrian refugees in Lebanon This project provides the WADI Khaled EMS station in Lebanon with an ambulance, hereby supporting both Syrian refugees and host communities in the region. -	LRCS EMS station Wadi Khaled in Northern Lebanon is situated close to the Syrian border. Within the complex political context of this region the EMS station takes up a key role in providing EMS services to all beneficiaries in need: both Syrians and host communities. 
-	EMS station Wadi Khaled is situated far from hospitals. If an ambulance is in use, it can take on average 3 hours before it returns to the station to be able to serve other patients. High mileage contributes to the overuse, hence ambulances age quickly. 
-	EMS station Wadi Khaled has currently two ambulances for four shifts, two during the day and two during the night. In case of any reparations to be conducted on one of the ambulances the teams will be reduced to only one and hence the responding capacities will be decreased. Support by funding 1 ambulance Netherlands Red Cross and Lebanese Red Cross Wadi Khaled, northern Lebanon
Emergency relief training for Lebanese Red Cross The objective of this project is to ensure that 12 Relief Disaster Management teams at the Lebanese Red Cross are trained on assessment, beneficiary selection, distribution of relief items, reporting on relief activities and security around relief operations.

2023 Sudan Crisis - Complex Emergency Sudan In the early morning of Saturday, 15 April 2023, Khartoum woke up to the sound of gunfire and explosions. This was the first time that the capital city of Sudan, home to 6 million people, was at the epicentre of a fierce conflict between two powerful groups, the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Millions of civilians caught in the crossfire have been in lockdown for nearly two weeks, and many have run out of basic supplies like food, water, and medicine, having instead to borrow them or take the risk of fleeing through extremely dangerous routes Although the number of people indirectly impacted by the conflict is much larger, an estimated 9 million people are living in very close proximity to battles, at high risk of stray bullets and shelling within residential areas. The majority of residents remain stranded and are unable to flee to safer areas, due to ongoing fighting, lack of financial means or simply attempting to maintain their property, assets, and livelihoods. After several days, people trapped in conflict areas are running out of survival means and are being forced to take risks to make ends meet. 
According to Red Cross Red Crescent Societies’ reports, at least 150,000 people have managed to escape to safer areas inside Sudan and across borders to Chad (17,394 people), to Egypt (29,626 people), South Sudan (27,275), Ethiopia (8,500 people) and to Central African Republic (6,000 people). Many are still stranded at the border with Egypt, South Sudan, and Ethiopia as well, and also at other evacuation points such as Port Sudan 9 million people The conflict is taking place in densely populated urban areas in Khartoum, Khartoum North and Omdurman (Khartoum State), Merowe (Northern State), El Obeid (North Kordofan), Nyala (South Darfur), Al Fasher (North Darfur), Al Geneina (West Darfur), Zalingi (Central Darfur) and Gedaref.
Conflict in Syria: supporting affected population in Syria Since 2011, the unrest in Syrian has grown, with violence spreading throughout the country. It is estimated that 12.2 million people within Syria need humanitarian assistance, with more than half the pre-crisis population being displaced internally and or as refugees in neighbouring countries. Often, Syrians are displaced multiple times. Four out of five Syrians are living in poverty, and two-thirds live in extreme poverty. Every aspect of life is affected, and there are overloads in basic health care services and decreased access to food and water.
DR Congo - Ebola Virus Disease Outbreak (DOB) Twelve months on, the virus continues to transmit at worrying levels. As of 15 September 2019 there have been a total of 3,129 cases and 2,095 deaths. The outbreak is still spreading fast and in the past 21 days there have been 209 cases. It is likely that this number is higher and some cases may not have been reported due to insecurity. This is the tenth and largest Ebola outbreak ever experienced in DRC and the second largest outbreak in the world after the 2014 outbreak in West-Africa. The situation in North Kivu is exacerbated by weakened health systems, endemic health issues, highly insecure areas, political instability and migratory flows. There have been several cases reported in Goma and as this is a major city in DRC, it dramatically increases the chances the outbreak spreading unless it is contained immediately.

Partners for Resilience: Uganda The Strategic Partnership of Partners for Resilience (PfR) is aimed at promoting and improving (attention for) Integrated Risk Management (IRM) in policies, investments and practices of key stakeholders. The ultimate aim is to improve resilience of vulnerable communities who are confronted with disaster risks though better laws and regulations, IRM-proof investments (including screening), and enhanced practices that take better account of their potential to reduce risks. This project focuses on improving resilience in Ugandan communities. People world-wide live in disaster-prone areas. Disasters damage the eco-systems they live in and upon which their livelihoods depend. Their vulnerability to disasters is aggrevated by climate change, which increases the frequency, scale and inpredictability of disasters. Eco-systems, if protected and managed well, can play an important role in mitigating the impact of disasters (holding more excess water, sheltering form storms). Partners for Resilience strengthens community resilience by working with civil society organisations on reducing risks and strengthening livelihoods of vulnerable communities, with specific attention for marginalized groups and women. The Integrated Risk Management (IRM) approach bridges time- and spatial scales. It integrates the urgent attention needed for changing risks due to changes in hazards, exposure and vulnerability. IRM includes a specific focus on ecosystem degradation, locally and in the wider landscape, as well as changes in hazards due to climate change (in relation to current risks, nearterm changes and longer-term shifts in climate patterns). IRM thus integrates elements from disaster risk reduction (DRR), climate change adaptation (CCA) and ecosystem management and restoration (EMR). Actions relate to different actors. Four groups are distinguished: Communities, Civil Society organisations (Red Cross, plus PfR partners, other CSOs, organised communities), Government (at various levels), and the private sector. Beneficiaries of the programme are vulnerable communities in disaster-prone conditions. This project focuses on vulnerable communities in the Uganda.
