Agadez Migration Project Over the years, the Agadez region has become an important migration hub through which migrants flow from West and Central Africa. Migrants face significant humanitarian risks â€“ difficult access to basic services, discrimination, protection problems (human trafficking, abuse, violence and exploitation) and phsychosocial support needs. Furthermore, migrants passing through this region have no information or limited information on the risks and dangers along the migratory route as well as their rights while in transit countries.
This project will co-fund the French RC migration project called â€œBakin Hawreâ€ in Agadez, which has been implemented since 2013. Focus will be on providing support to migrants through Humanitarian Service Points and ensuring social cohesion by organising joint activities with migrants and host communities. BRC will also enhance coordination of Movement Partners and continue our support to the Sahel+ Migration Working Group.Â
Lithuania Population Movement 2021 Since mid-May 2021, the number of people who enter Lithuania irregularly from Belarus has been increasing rapidly. Following the series of recent events at the Lithuanian â€“ Belarusian border, Lithuania declared a state of emergency on 2 July 2021. As of 7 July 2021, the total number of new arrivals is 1,416. The number indicates a 1648% increase in irregular border crossings, compared to year 2020.
Before the crisis, asylum seekers used to stay isolated at the Lithuanian border for 1 to 3 days until receiving COVID-19 testing results and then moving into reception centres. However, the sudden influx of migrants has put enormous pressure to the reception system. In early June, the Foreigners Registration Center in PabradÄ— ran over its maximum capacity. As COVID-19 prevention measures require lower occupancy and separate accommodation, more places have been opened as mandatory isolation and/ or reception facilities.
Approximately 60% of arrivals consist of men, while the remaining 40% are women, children, unaccompanied minors, and persons with disabilities. The nationality of the arriving migrants has shown a specific change in migration to Lithuania trends with 43.5% of people who arrived in Lithuania during the last 3 months of 2021 being of Iraqi nationality, whereas in 2020 most asylum seekers were from Belarus, followed by Russia and Tajikistan. 90 â€“ 95 % of the arriving migrants seek for asylum in Lithuania. However, there is a significant delay in accepting and examining new asylum applications due to the Migration Department being short of staff that carries out the examination of applications and the lack of interpreters.
The IFRC released a DREF on 12 July for CHF 338,885 to assist 4,000 people across 10 provinces for four months. The IFRC are also deploying a Operations Manager and CEA Coordinator for one month in country. The latter will be deployed from the British Red Cross.
Sahel Livelihoods Programme The Sahel Region has cyclical long term food insecurity issues which repeatedly damage the resilience of communities to respond, recover and develop. The RCM in the region is currently operating at a low capacity with limited resources to respond to small, medium or large-scale needs in a meaningful, effective and accountable way.
The overall objective of the programme is to contribute to build a strong Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement to support the resilience development of vulnerable communities. The programme includes components of capacity building, learning and piloting new approaches.
The programme works towards two specific objectives:
1) Strengthen HNS' capacities on Livelihoods programming so they are able to effectively ensure crisis affected population's recovery and contribute to their resilience.
2) Support the creation and coordination of the Sahel+ Platform for the 10 HNS in the region, to strengthen their positioning as FSL actors, share learning and support regional advocacy efforts.
Belarus and Neighbouring Countries 2021 Political tension between the EU and Belarus increased significantly in late 2020 following elections in Belarus. EU did not accept the election results and has since imposed economic sanctions on Belarus. In May 2021, migrants arriving from Belarus started to cross or attempt to cross the border into Lithuania. EU leaders have accused Belarus of facilitating the situation as a reaction to the sanctions. In July, when more than 4,000 migrants had crossed into Lithuania since the beginning of the year, the government reinforced the border and made it increasingly difficult to cross, shifting the attention to the Polish border from August onwards. In early September the Polish government declared a state of emergency. Small numbers of migrants have also crossed into Latvia since May 2021. Since the start of the situation all countries have significantly reinforced their borders both physically and through additional deployments of border guards, police and soldiers.
In early November the situation escalated when large groups of migrants approach the border with Poland and Lithuania, creating a stand-off. Migrants have attempted to breach the border structures but have been apprehended and returned to the Belarusian side.
Â 
The IFRC launched an Emergency Appeal for Belarus and Neighbouring Countries on the 24th of November 2021 forÂ  9.5 million CHF to assist an initial 12,000 people, through the three National Societies that are currently operational: Belarus, Poland and Lithuania. The EA is closing on the 30th November 2022.
Sahel Migration Programme The countries of the Sahel are some of the most exposed to crises and disasters, and thousands of people from the Sahel region migrate across Africa and/or towards Europe each year in search for a better life. This is a consequence of several destabilising factors: fragile states, widespread violence, limited resources and livelihood prospects, and increasingly severe climate shocks. Along their journey, migrants are confronted with numerous dangers including protection risks, exploitation and limited access to basic services and most often find themselves in a distressed state of mind.Â 
BRC is committed to helping migrants and have done so through the AMIRA programme that provides humanitarian assistance to vulnerable migrants along the migratory trails. As the programme ended in March 2021, BRC is looking into other options to continue support to migrants through smaller, targeted projects, as well as through support to migration research and coordination efforts.Â

AVIVA - Urban Hub The IFRC Asia Pacific Regional Office (IFRC APRO), National Societies and Reference Centres in Asia Pacific, have being leading the Urban Community Resilience Hub (Urban Hub) initiative which intends to coordinate and connect urban work across the Asia Pacific region, enhance knowledge sharing and peer-to-peer exchange within and beyond RCRC networks and platforms, and operationalize the urbanâ€¯learning built to date with a strong orientation towards partnerships and innovation for current and future initiatives.â€¯â€¯
Â 
Using a â€˜thematic based network of networksâ€™ approach this Hub builds on the experience of National Societies and ongoing regional initiatives. While focusing primarily on the Asia Pacific region, the UCRH will engage with other urban initiatives within the Movement, as well as other (thematic) practitionersâ€™ groups where relevant and feasible.
Â 
The main objectives of the Hub are:
1.Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Strengthen the connections among urban resilience actors in the Asia Pacific region to promote innovative approaches to tackle urban resilience challenges.
2.Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Promote knowledge sharing and evidence-based programming within the RCRC movement and the wider humanitarian community.
3.Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Improve organizational resilience through a continuous process of learning and adaptation to changing contexts

Americas Population Movement 2018 - The deepening political and socio-economic crisis in Venezuela has led to one of the biggest mass displacements in Latin American history. - As of November 2018, there were at least 3m Venezuelans refugees and migrants globally, of which 2.4m were residing in Latin American and Caribbean countries (UNHCR). This overall figure could rise to 5.3m by the end of 2019. - There is an estimated population outflow of more than 5,000 Venezuelan migrants per day. - Colombia (approx. 1m), Peru (500k) and Ecuador (220k) host the largest numbers of migrants but many other countries in the region are seeing significant increases in new arrivals. - Many in host countries are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. Food, nutrition, health, water, sanitation and hygiene needs have been identified. Protection assistance is also crucial, including legal help with documentation in order to access healthcare and employment. - Migrants are at risk of exploitation, trafficking, and sexual and gender-based violence, and the social environment is becoming less hospitable in some host communities in the region.

Nigeria Floods 2022 Nigeria is experiencing the worst floods in at least a decade, with a widespread impact in 29 of the countryâ€™s 36 states. Ongoing floods are damaging homes, infrastructure, destroying farmland and displacing people from their communities. The latest reports confirm that at least 2.8 million people have been affected, at least 603 lives have been lost, and more than 2,500 injured. Two million people have fled or were evacuated from high-risk areas, carrying only the belongings they could take with them, but finding themselves in extremely poor conditions and without sufficient safeguards, exposing them to heightened protection risks.Â
Myanmar Rakhine Community Resilience MRCS has been implementing Community Resilience Program (CRP) in Central Rakhine since 2017. CRP is aligned with the MRCS Resilience Framework 2018-301 which promotes program objectives of sustainability, relevance and scalability, effectiveness and impact, and a changed partnership dynamic with communities. CRP is an integrated multi-sectoral programme aimed at increasing the resilience of 30 villages indirectly affected by violence in Sittwe and Minbya Townships of the Rakhine state. The targeted villages are also affected by recurring natural disasters like floods and cyclones. The three-year (2017-2019) resilience programme phase 1 targets a total 6,337 HHs (29,079 people) in Sittwe and Minbya Townships and is jointly funded by British Red Cross Society (BRCS) and Norwegian Red Cross Society (NRCS) under multi-lateral funding mechanism through International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). 15 villages are covered with funding from BRCS and another 15 villages with NRCS funding. The programme is an integral part of overall Rakhine Operations of MRCS, supported by IFRC and The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The CRP programme also contributes to the overall organizational development efforts of MRCS to strengthen Rakhine State Red Cross Branch and its Township Branches.
The phase 2 programme (2020 - 2022) will build on previous phase, incorporating all villages who recived multi-sectoral investment from the previous phase and will now benefit from a focus on consolidating community institutional support in line with programme sustainability objectives. 10 new villages in Sittwe will be incorporated providing for a total of 25 villages to be reached in the year 2020.Â

Ukraine Crisis 2022 Â  Â  Â  Â - From early to mid-December 2021, significant militarization of the region and along the borders with Ukraine occurs.
-Â  Â  Â  - Since 2014, the conflict's civilian death toll has topped 3,000, with over 7,000 people injured. Over 50,000 houses have been damaged or destroyed.
- Of the 3 million people in need of aid in 2022, 1.3 million are living in Government-controlled areas and 1.6 million people are living in non-Government-controlled areas.
- Ukraine is "the oldest" humanitarian crisis in the world, as about 30% of people in need are elderly.
- The UN estimates that there are 854,000 internally displaced people in Ukraine.
- Eastern Ukraine is divided by a 427-kilometre-long front line with 7 crossing points. Since March 2020 movement across this line has been significantly restricted. The number of crossings has decreased by over 90%, from over 1.2 million per month before the Covid-19 pandemic to less than 100,000 per month.
Armenia - Winterization support to the refugee-like population displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh The escalation of the Nagorno-Karabakh (NK) conflict in 2020 resulted in the influx of up to 90,000 people from the NK to Armenia, the vast majority of whom are older people, women and children. Currently, 20,433 displaced people are still living in the refugee-like situation in Armenia, sheltering with host families, collective shelters, and rented accommodation across 11 provinces.
While the absolute majority of the refugee-like population are already facing needs in the areas of shelter, livelihoods, household items, employment, and food, the winter season is expected to further exacerbate their living conditions due to the increased expenses associated with heating and purchase of winter apparel, inflation on the housing market in Armenia, decreasing support from the host communities and the cessation of the Government Cash Assistance Programs.
To prevent the humanitarian crisis and also to ensure the gradual transition from humanitarian-aid to longer-term recovery interventions within the DREF Operation, the Armenian RC, with the support from the IFRC, will provide unconditional cash assistance to 6,120 individuals, including the people with disabilities and children under 18, to help them meet the basic winterization needs of their households, according to their priorities.
Sudan Floods 2020 Sudan experienced heavy rains, causing flooding and displacing thousands in July. The flooding situation continued to worsen in August and September, leading to the government declaring a state of emergency.
Cyclical flooding is often experienced during the July-Sept/Oct rainy season, however, this year is exceptional in scale. Heavy rains raised the river Nile by 17.5 metres resulting in the worst flooding recorded in at least 70 years
States most affected by floods are Khartoum, North Darfur and Sennar, which account for 43% of all people affected.
Â 
With unreliable drainage systems and infrastructure in need of rehabilitation, there are concerns of disease outbreaks.
