Philippines Typhoon Goni On Sunday 1st Nov, Typhoon Goni - categorised as the worldâ€™s strongest tropical cyclone in 2020 so far â€“ made landfall in the Philippines. First hitting in Bato, Catanduanes, and then again in Tiwi, Albay, the typhoon brought with it catastrophic violent winds and torrential rainfall. With maximum sustained winds of more than 251 kilometers per hour, the equivalent of a Category 5 Hurricane, its effects have been devastating. Over 402,000 families have been affected and, so far, 17 deaths have been confirmed. Power and communications remain out in many areas, but while the full extent of the damage is yet to be seen, initial reports indicate that many houses were severely damaged or destroyed, with some houses being totally washed out along the coastline.
Â 
The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) has already launched their emergency response, deploying teams to support the search and rescue efforts and assist survivors

Croatia - Petrinja Earthquake Response 2020 A 6.2 magnitude earthquake with the epicentre close to Petrinja struck Croatia on 29 December 2020. This earthquake was reported as the strongest earthquake to hit Croatia in more than 140 years. 8 people were killed and at least 36 people were injured, 10 of whom severely. Between 29 December 2020 and 8 January 2021, additional 379 aftershocks happened, some of which have been as strong as 5.0 magnitude causing additional damage to buildings and roads in the Sisak-Moslavina, Karlovac and Zagreb counties. The worst-affected areas are the towns of Petrinja, Sisak, Glina and Hrvatska Kostajnica covering a total of 2,801.61 km2 of mostly rural area, consisting of one medium size town, three small rural towns and a total of 482 villages, many of them in hilly remote areas. The total population of the area is 149,371 people.Â 
Some 50,000 people in the most affected area are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance (food, household items and/or shelter at the moment). This number also includes some 40,000 displaced people that are in need of longer-term accommodation solution as they are staying in temporary accommodation.
A DREF was released on 7 January 2021, followed by an Emergency Appeal asking for CHF6.2 millon targetting 80,000 people. In March 2021, the IFRC operations update outlined the emergency appeal would be revised, bringing down the budget to CHF3.4 million.
LRC-ICRC-BRC Flagship Phase 3 2024-25 The project builds on the two previous phases of the Lebanese Red Cross (LRC), ICRC, British Red Cross (BRC) tripartite partnership for the implementation of cash and livelihoods activities in Lebanon. In contrast to the previous phases, during this two-year third phase LRC will be the lead implementer and grant manager, with technical support and backstopping provided by ICRC and BRC. The primary objective of the project is to strengthen LRC Disaster Management Sector capacity to design and implement market-based approaches. The initiative focuses on improving preparedness, response and resilience to emergencies, whilst fostering economic recovery and community wellbeing. The project will firstly support the setup and training of a National Market Team, the development of a livelihoods response toolkit, and a simulation exercise and pilot intervention to test the capacities developed. Following this, livelihood interventions will be scaled up across the country. In parallel, LRC will support Syrian households in the intervention areas to meet their basic needs through the delivery of multipurpose cash assistance.
Migration, Displacement & Anti-Trafficking in Asia At a regional level, it is our vision that by 2030, the IFRC APRO, and regional National Societies have the capacities, expertise and resources required to support and protect people on the move, and can respond holistically to the wide range of issues which arise from Migration, Displacement and Anti-Trafficking. Migration, Displacement and Anti-Trafficking (MDAT) already feature strongly in the work that we do as a region, in our priority countries of Bangladesh, Nepal and Afghanistan, as well as in Myanmar and Pakistan. We have identified MDAT as a key strategic focus area by the Asia team, aligned to the BRC-wide international strategy, in recognition of the fact that the Asia Pacific region is a fulcrum for international migration, with 107 million migrants, and that 80% of sudden onset natural disaster-induced displacement worldwide occurs in the region.
This project will ensure that we are coordinating our work around MDAT ensuring that the sum of our work in the region is greater than its parts, and that we have the necessary resources to enable our partner National Societies to implement projects to best support their communities.
Climate NbS with Resilient Livelihood in Nepal The primary goal of this project is to increaseÂ the resilience of most vulnerable and marginalised individuals/ HHs impacted by the Covid-19 through livelihood early recovery and improve their coping capacities to absorb future shocks and stresses.
Â 
To achieve this goal, the project strategises to work in a twin track approach. Targeting the most vulnerable and marginalised individuals/HHs on the one hand to support them to recover from the impacts of Covid-19 through livelihood start up support, improving access to information, preparing individuals/HHs to devise shock and stress risk mitigation plans and preparing them for future uncertainties. On the other hand, Support will be provided to work with the Cooperative/ financial institutions and local government for the inclusion of left behind individual/ HHs into the larger sphere where they can achieve financial inclusion and access to different risk transfer mechanisms. Thereby, strengthening links between local government and cooperatives/other institutions and addressing underlying systematic issues.

Mexico & Central American Migration Crisis 2022 Since the beginning of 2022, there has been a massive increase in the number of refugees, migrants, and returnees in transit by land northwards through Central America, compared to previous years. On 29 July 2022 the IFRC launched an Emergency Appeal.
Migrants, returnees, and refugees are moving mostly through irregular channels. Many face bureaucratic barriers, suffer accidents and injuries, face extortion and sexual violence, or disappear and are separated from their families. Others are killed or die from disease or the harsh environmental conditions and weather. The majority of migrants and refugees in transit through Central America come from Cuba, Venezuela and Haiti. The situation is especially serious for the most vulnerable groups such as children and youth, women, indigenous populations, the elderly, disabled and LGBTIQ people. There is a particular concern for children; in 2022, out of every 100 migrants crossing the Darien Gap, one of the most dangerous migration routes in the world, 16 are minors.
Reasons for migrating include improving their income, escaping violence, reuniting with family members, recovering from the impact of recurring disasters and extreme weather events, and due to the devastating socioeconomic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and continuing political crises.
It is estimated that up to 500,000 people have been affected considering the inflows and reports of irregular crossings from July to December 2021, representing a 45% increase scenario (most countries are above a 100% increase). The IFRC Emergency Appeal aims to reach 210,000 people regionally in all seven countries covered (Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico) - 175,000 migrants in transit, 25,000 returnees and 10,000 people in host and origin communities.
The BRC Emergencies Team are continuing to monitor the situation. Due the low funding across the movement and low coverage of the emergency, BRC will be pledging Â£175,000 to the response.

Mauritania Food Insecurity 2020 Mauritania is currently facing a difficult food and nutritional situation. According to the results of the last Harmonized Framework of November 2019, over 600,000 persons were facing severe food insecurity (IPC phases 3, 4) during the lean period between June and October 2020. This is the most serious situation witnessed in the country since the first Harmonized Framework was organized in Mauritania in 2012. In proportion to its population, Mauritania will be among the most affected countries in the Sahel, with a rate of 14.7% i.e. the highest rate in all West Africa after Gambia.
The Mauritania Food Insecurity Emergency Appeal (MDRMR011) will support the Mauritania Red Crescent Society to deliver food security assistance and malnutrition prevention support to 14,800 people for 9 months in the departments of BarkÃ©ol and Ould Yenge. Activities will focus on Livelihoods and Basic needs, Health (nutrition), Disaster Risk Reduction, Protection Gender and Inclusion, CEA as well as National Society strengthening activities.
Southern Africa - Regional DM Capacity Building Summary: As 45 millionÂ people (Dec 2019) become affected by food insecurity in Southern Africa; theÂ purpose of this shared leadership group is to positionÂ National Societies in Southern AfricaÂ to be able to offer systemic solutions to communities affected by disaster: and thereby to become the partners of choice for governments, donors and partner agencies in delivering assistance.

India COVID-19 Outbreak 2021 In April 2021 India started experiencing a second wave of COVID-19 which has caused record daily cases in any country since the start of the pandemic. It is now the country recording the highest daily infection levels worldwide. India became the first nation to record in excess of 400,000 new cases in one day, with 412, 431 cases being recorded on Friday 30th April. As of 6th May, more than 300,000 new cases have been reported every day for the last 12 days.Â 
The peak of this second wave in India is predicted by mid-May, where it is expected there will be around 35 million active cases of COVID-19, or 5,600 new cases per day.
The Indian RCS has released a Plan of Action asking for 17.7m CHF to support the response to the second wave.
Bangladesh Population Movement 2017 October-December 2016: An initial influx of people from Rakhine State in Myanmar to Coxâ€™s Bazar takes place, with some 87,000 arrivals recorded. These population movements are not a new event in this area. Historically, some Muslim communities from Rakhine have been migrating to Bangladesh over the past three decades, particularly in the coastal upazilas (sub-districts) of Teknaf and Ukhia in Coxâ€™s Bazar district where they live as either refugees or without status.
29 December 2016: BDRCS had a subsequent meeting with Government of Bangladesh (GoB) authorities where they requested RC support. This support was agreed in early January 2017 after the rapid assessments teams returned on 1 January and their findings validated the severity of the situation, prompting a decision by BDRCS on 2 January to scale up the humanitarian assistance beyond their regular support.
30th May 2017: Cyclone Mora hit the district with both the camps and 20,000 houses in the surrounding area damaged. In the camps a quarter of buildings were affected and the electricity was shut off. This lack of lighting led to protection concerns with 80% of the camp's residents women and girls. Districts of Bandarban, Chittagong, Coxâ€™s Bazar, Khagrachari and Rangamati experience the worst landslides in history, with at least 160 human lives lost.
25 August 2017: Violence in Myanmarâ€™s state of Rakhine prompts a new influx of people into South East Bangladesh. As of 19 September 2017, the Inter Sector Coordination Group (ISCG) reported that an estimated 422,000 people have crossed the border into Bangladesh.
November 2021:Â  the situation continues today as a protracted crisis because of the colossal number of displaced people â€“Â 884,000Â peopleÂ â€“ who are completely reliant on humanitarian aid to meet their everyday needsÂ amidst a backdrop of uncertaintyÂ onÂ their future including the possibility of repatriation. These needsÂ spanÂ food and basic needs, access to health services and safe water,Â shelter,Â protection services, andÂ preparednessÂ forÂ seasonal cyclonesÂ and monsoon rains,Â andÂ health disasters such as pandemicsÂ as well as protection against man-made disastersÂ brought about byÂ environmental degradationÂ and theÂ impacts of climate change.Â Â 
Revised appeal 2021:Â Through the revisedÂ Emergency Appeal,Â theÂ International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC)Â aims toÂ continueÂ supportingÂ the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS)Â inÂ itsÂ response toÂ the population movement crisis. This will be in line with theÂ shared vision of BDRCS, IFRC and in-country Partner National Societies, in coordination with ICRC, to consolidate and improve on existing services to affected communities, in continued alignment with the three-pronged strategy adopted at the start of this operationÂ i.e.Â theÂ strategy to achieveÂ integrated community resilience, social inclusion,Â andÂ readiness for effective response.Â Â
Sierra Leone Oil tank explosion 2021 On 05th November 2021, a fire incident occurred in the Wellington PMD Junction Â east of Freetown involving a loaded fuel tanker that colluded with and a truck carrying granite stones while the fuel tanker was about entering into a nearby filling station to discharge its fuel . This led to fuel spillage which population rushed to collect. In the interim, some community members rushed to the scene and took advantage of the leakage to scoop fuel and store it in nearby makeshift structures. In the cause of scooping the fuel, Â for unidentified reasons, a fire broke out and the tanker exploded, killing nearly a hundred people.

DM support to communities in Yemen Due to success of the previous DM community-led support, this intervention aims to reinitiate conducting EnhancedÂ Vulnerability and Capacity Assessments (EVCA) in two governorates in Yemen (Ibb and Hadramout). Using theÂ recommendations from theÂ EVCAâ€™sÂ as a basis,Â the project for 2023Â will focus onÂ buildingÂ disaster risk reduction throughÂ community-basedÂ preparedness (including supporting the NS to efficiently and effectively deliver these services).Â This area of focus aims to ensure the recommendationsÂ specifically identifiedÂ by the communitiesÂ are metÂ toÂ help reduce their vulnerabilityÂ and meet their immediate needs.Â 
The overall goal is toÂ reduceÂ theÂ vulnerability of communities in Yemen to the effects ofÂ the ongoing humanitarian crisis, exacerbated by recurrentÂ naturalÂ andÂ man-madeÂ hazards.
Urban SEA Nepal With the nationwide vaccination drive underway Nepal Red Cross Society (NCRS) is gearing towards early recovery planning while at the same time continuing its supporting role to governmentâ€™s Covid-19 response. The primary objective of NRCSâ€™ early recovery plan is to fulfil its auxiliary role to support the government in reducing illness and loss of life, while protecting the health, safety, wellbeing and livelihoods of the most vulnerable people, through containing transmission of the Covid-19 virus, treating cases, and helping affected communities maintain access to essential health and social services.
This proposed intervention isÂ aligned to NRCSâ€™ early recovery plan focusing on building their capacity to effectively respond to future disasters and also the outcome indicators of GRCâ€™s Urban SEA logframe. The priority areas for the intervention are as follows:
Â 
Â 
1.Â Â Â Â  Support NRCS priority area 3 related to National Society strengthening on resilience and early recovery.
2.Â Â Â Â  Complement Urban DRR resilience programme through undertaking research on new ways of working that the SURE programme has initiated.
3.Â Â Â Â  Increase the scope of NRCS in urban networking through learning, sharing and exchange.

Myanmar RCS Migration and Displacement Migration and displacement within, from and to Myanmar is linked to a diverse range of complex drivers, and in many cases results in critical humanitarian needs. Myanmar is one of the top five countries of origin globally for refugees, with large numbers of refugees hosted in neighboring countries and across the region. Some of these refugees are starting to return, in both spontaneous and organized processes, and the prospect of large-scale refugee repatriation remains from Bangladesh, Thailand and beyond.
Â 
Myanmar also hosts large numbers of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) fleeing conflict, violence, persecution and disaster. An estimated 241,000 IDPs â€“ of which 77 percent are women and children â€“ remain in camps in Rakhine, Kachin, Shan and Kayin States. Recent initiatives of the Government and the humanitarian community are paving the way for durable solutions to internal displacement and the "closing" of IDP camps. Myanmar is also the largest country of origin for migrants in the Greater Mekong Sub-Region, with the vast majority of more than 4 million migrants travelling to Thailand, China, Malaysia and Singapore. Many migrant workers are undocumented and in "irregular status", with regular deportations back to Myanmar. There are also considerable humanitarian concerns related to trafficking (within and from Myanmar), people smuggling, extortion, debt bondage and physical exploitation. Statelessness and migration is also a critical humanitarian challenge.
Â 
In September 2018, an MRCS national workshop was held on "Strategic Approaches to Addressing Humanitarian Needs in the Context of Migration and Displacement". This was the first time MRCS convened a national humanitarian workshop on migration and displacement. The first two days of the workshop included participants and presentations from Kachin, Rakhine, Shan, Mon, Kayin and Thanantharyi, on humanitarian needs linked to migration and displacement, challenges in addressing those needs and recommendations for stronger MRCS action. The third day of the workshop was reserved for a discussion with MRCS management on how to strengthen MRCS action in migration and displacement. The workshop resulted in a 10-point MRCS Action Plan on Migration and Displacement, to be achieved within two years
DRC Nyiragongo eruption 2021 Â Nyiragongo started erupting on 22nd May 2021 early evening: two lava flows descended, one eastwards towards the border with Rwanda, and the other towards the south reaching the outskirts of Goma during the night. 15 people lost their lives and between 3,000 and 5,000 people are reported to have fled into Rwanda.
Â Experts have predicted that a new eruption is likely to occur in the coming days, so the authorities have ordered the evacuation of part of the city of Goma.Â
