Two months on from the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East and the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital corridor for global energy flows, shocks have rippled through economies worldwide.

Health care in the Middle East and wider region has come under attack about once every six hours on average since conflict escalated a month ago across Lebanon, Iran, and Israel, Save the Children said.

The recent escalation of hostilities across Asia and the Middle East has led to a marked deterioration in the humanitarian situation. The affected areas already host 24.6 million forcibly displaced people, many of whom already face significant protection risks and humanitarian needs, alongside host communities.

Over 6.9 million people have been affected since late June by heavy monsoon rains; with 3.5 million people becoming displaced.

Around 3.0 million people were evacuated, of whom 150,000 remain in 950 evacuation centres established by provincial authorities.

Nationally, over 6.9 million (over 4.7 million in Punjab, 171,000 people in Sindh, 1.6 million in KP and 356,000 in GB provinces) people were affected by floods since 26 June.

40,000 people are in urgent need of assistance in Muzaffargarh District of Punjab Province, where many people remain on rooftops and trees awaiting rescue. District authorities have called for tents, food, hygiene kits, and medical support.

Pakistan's particularly strong monsoon season rains which began on 26 June, continue to wreak havoc across large swathes of the country, with Punjab province bearing the brunt of overflowing rivers and subsequent flooding.

As of 1 September, 216 people have been killed and 625 injured in Punjab since the onset of the monsoon on 26 June, with women and children accounting for nearly half of all casualties.

Phase One of the Gaza ceasefire, from 19 January to 1 March 2025, allowed the humanitarian community to rapidly implement a prepared scale-up of its response. It enabled the daily entry of a large volume of humanitarian supplies and a steady stream of fuel.

A4EP, a global alliance of Southern organisations, the 63rd and the newest signatory,  will ensure GB policy discourses remain centred on affected populations and informed  by the experiences of local actors to strengthen effective, efficient and timely  responses through a nexus approach. A4EP commits to working together with  international actors to address the barriers in establishing equitable partnerships with  local actors.

Who governs the humanitarian sector?  The answer is often some combination of big donors, the UN system, and the largest international nongovernmental aid agencies.  If these are the actors that govern, then who is being governed?  The answer is often affected populations and national and local agencies.  This pyramid – with a few at the top and many at the bottom – has inspired many calls to reform the sector so that...

The World Humanitarian Summit(WHS) consultation process opened the space for voices of local and national actors about their experience of the global humanitarian system and its impact locally. As part of the preparations for the WHS in 2016, the High-Level Panel on Humanitarian Financing sought solutions to close the humanitarian financing gap. Their report made recommendations to shrink the needs, deepen and broaden the resource base for humanitarian action, and to improve delivery.

أتاحت المشاورات في مؤتمر القمة العالمي للعمل الإنساني (WHS) المجال لسماع أصوات الجهات الفاعلة المحلية والوطنية حول تجاربهم بالنظام الإنساني العالمي وتأثيره المحلي عليهم. وكجزء من الاستعدادات لمؤتمر القمة العالمي للعمل الإنساني في عام 2016، سعى فريق الخبراء رفيع المستوى المعني بتمويل الشؤون الإنسانية إلى تحديد سبل لسد فجوة التمويل الإنساني. وقدّم تقرير الفريق توصيات لتقليص الاحتياجات، وتعميق وتوسيع قاعدة الموارد للعمل الإنساني، وتحسين التسليم.

The Covid19 pandemic has extensively and adversely impacted the aid architecture, at a time when the lifesaving assistance to population facing natural disasters or protracted crises is most needed. Local organisations are facing further marginalisation at a time when they are at the forefront of the response, be it Covid19 health response or economic or other crises caused during this period.

The Alliance for Empowering Partnership (A4EP) celebrates with pride the achievements of local heroes. On World Humanitarian Day 2020, we pay tribute to the many local heroes in the many local organisations that responded quickly, and often at great personal risk, to the impacts of COVID-19 and the lockdown measures to control its spread.
