Cette année, les premiers feux de forêt se sont manifestés en avril. On remarque que la saison s'ouvre plus tôt, frappe plus fort et dure plus longtemps. Le meilleur feu de forêt est celui qui ne se déclare jamais. C'est pourquoi nous investissons des milliards dans la prévention et l'adaptation au changement climatique.

Today I'm presenting our 2026 Wildfire Preparedness Package: more firepower in the air, more boots on the ground before fires start, stronger coordination & scientific analysis. 🇪🇺 is also investing billions in prevention: the best way to fight a wildfire is before it starts. https://t.co/53p3f0XFYo #WildfirePreparedness #ClimateAction #EUInvests #EU

Another night of terror in Ukraine. Another reminder what Ukrainian families endure every single day. Russia's massive attack last night killed at least 21 people, leaving around 120 people injured. There must be accountability for these deaths under international law. https://t.co/DjBezmCaDW #StandWithUkraine #UkraineWar #EndTheViolence #UA #RU

The conflict in Myanmar continues to claim too many civilian lives. In Shan State, an explosion at a local mining warehouse killed dozens. The EU’s humanitarian partners are assisting those affected. I call on all parties to ensure humanitarian access reaches those in need. #Myanmar #HumanRights #HumanitarianAid #MM #EU

Ebola reminds us that health security is a shared responsibility. Together with @WHO, the EU is supporting preparedness & emergency response in DRC & Uganda to help contain Ebola to save lives. Working together is our best defence. https://t.co/kF9UWKRB07 #Ebola #HealthSecurity #StrongerTogether #CD #UG

In 🇱🇧, the humanitarian situation remains alarming. To help the most vulnerable, 🇪🇺 solidarity continues. 🇩🇪 delivered 220,000 surgical masks & 🇵🇱 medical items and personal protective equipment. This assistance has just reached Beirut via the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism. https://t.co/tVO39aK4zj #Lebanon #HumanitarianAid #EUCivilProtection #LB #EU #DE #PL

Last year, more than 100.000 people flooded Budapest's streets for Pride despite a ban to send one simple message: you can love whoever you want. This year, that same crowd will march without fear. What a difference a year makes. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ https://t.co/i32U9CwlB6 #Pride2023 #LoveIsLove #BudapestPride #HU

Gaza's humanitarian space is further shrinking. As Israeli military control expands, shifting lines hamper aid workers & cut essential services (including clean water) for those in need. Families are trapped between boundaries that move without warning. IHL must be respected. #Gaza #HumanRights #IHL #IL #PS

Silence or solidarity? Humanitarian aid is a choice. Europe has made its choice. https://t.co/m2ZvZyOt8D #HumanitarianAid #Europe #Solidarity #EU

Solidarity and rapid action saves lives. Through close cooperation between the #EU and Japan, we secured 1,400 Favipiravir antiviral tablets for #hantavirus patients in 🇫🇷 🇳🇱 and 🇪🇸. Preparedness means having trusted partnerships in place before crisis strike #Solidarity #EU #Hantavirus #FR #NL #ES

When families flee disaster, one of the first things they ask for is school. Yet 127 million children in crisis zones are denied an education. 🇪🇺 commits 10% of our humanitarian aid to education in emergencies, reaching 2 million children every year. @Enabel_Belgium conference https://t.co/qfTJKjEw2m #EducationInEmergencies #ChildRefugees #HumanitarianAid #EU

More funding and support should be given to local humanitarian partners & increase their ownership. They know their local communities best & can help bring our humanitarian response closer to the people we serve. #HumanitarianAid #LocalSupport #CommunityEmpowerment #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedinthegiventweet.

Las necesidades humanitarias están aumentando en todo el mundo. Se han multiplicado por ocho en tan solo 20 años. Pero no se trata solo de cifras. Los trabajadores humanitarios están siendo atacados, se está utilizando a la población civil como arma de guerra y se están socavando los principios que deben guiar la acción humanitaria. La Unión Europea tiene claro cuáles son nuestros principios. Somos un donante líder y con principios. Defenderemos el espacio humanitario y responderemos a las necesidades dondequiera que surjan. Como firmes defensores del multilateralismo, también contribuiremos de manera concreta a un sistema humanitario que funcione mejor, con mayor eficiencia, eficacia y resiliencia.

Not a day goes by without Russia violating International Humanitarian Law. Yesterday, a Russian missile struck a clearly marked @WFP warehouse storing food for Ukrainians affected by the war. These supplies could have fed 130,000 people. Humanitarian aid must be protected. #HumanitarianLaw #Russia #UkraineAid #RU #UA

Today’s EU & UNICEF Humanitarian Air Bridge will deliver 100 tonnes of aid to fight #Ebola in the DRC: medicines, protective gear, tents & more. We’re acting fast: €15M in new humanitarian assistance announced Friday, on top of €87M allocated for the Great Lakes this year. https://t.co/K1YQOZ543j #Ebola #HumanitarianAid #DRC #CD

Russia is losing this war, but continues to terrorise Ukrainians. Yesterday’s brutal attack on Kyiv damaged homes, critical infrastructure, & humanitarian offices, injuring more than 80 people. This is terror in its purest form. Those responsible must be held accountable. https://t.co/rwAsjtQSrC #Russia #Ukraine #WarCrimes #RU #UA

As a strong & reliable global actor, the EU stands by the side of its African partners. We are allocating an additional €15 million in humanitarian assistance to respond to the Ebola outbreak in the DRC & Uganda, supporting emergency operations. #EUAfrica #EbolaResponse #HumanitarianAid #EU #DRC #UG

Another deadly strike on a crowded market in West Kordofan, Sudan, with more than 20 killed and injured civilians. Civilians must never be targets. Attacks on markets, hospitals and other civilian infrastructure in Sudan must stop. #IHL must be respected. #Sudan #IHL #CivilianProtection #SD

The EU itself was built on reconciliation after war. So my question is: how do we put peacemakers like Moaz and Aziz at the centre of our policies? If they could choose dialogue after such loss, what is our excuse? #Peacebuilding #EUReconciliation #DialogueMatters #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #theresponseis:

Moaz, an Israeli who lost his parents on October 7th. Aziz, a Palestinian who lost his brother after detention in an Israeli prison. Both decided to chose peace. Together, they are working toward one goal: peace by 2030, beginning with their book, Their Future Is Peace. https://t.co/YSA7KSebiv #PeaceBy2030 #TheirFutureIsPeace #IsraeliPalestinianUnity #IL #PS

Hadja Lahbib: Personne ne devrait être puni pour défendre l'humanité. Ce ne sont pas des criminels condamnés. Ce sont des militants qui tentent de fournir du pain aux affamés. L'activisme pacifique et la liberté de réunion sont des droits fondamentaux. Les civils doivent être protégés. Le droit international humanitaire doit être respecté.

With €2M from #EU4Health, @AfricaCDC will use wastewater surveillance to track #Ebola & other pathogens. @EU_HERA’s €7.4M for @WHO’s R&D Blueprint will help fast-track vaccine & treatment trials, turning science into lifesaving action. #Ebola #Health #Africa #EU #NG #WHO

The EU cofinanced @WHOAFRO Hub in Dakar has already delivered 6.3 tonnes of critical supplies to DRC, with more on the way. Through the PAMTA partnership between the Commission and @AfricaCDC, detection kits will be provided to accelerate testing & sequencing. #EUSupport #AfricaHealth #COVID19Testing #DRC

🇪🇺 is working with @WHO @AfricaCDC on the #Ebola outbreak in the DRC & Uganda. EU-supported genomic sequencing helped identify the strain fast, our preparedness efforts are strengthening surveillance, clinical trial readiness & vaccine research. We are ready to do more. #Ebola #GlobalHealth #EUHealth #EU #DRC #UG

Hadja Lahbib: La Belgique est le quatrième pays le plus endetté de l’Union européenne, après la Grèce, l’Italie, la France. Ce n’est pas un choix idéologique. Ça fait mal aux citoyens. Mais c’est un peu comme si vous, vous étiez endetté (...), vous ne pouvez plus partir en vacances, ou vous ne pouvez plus payer un nouveau cartable à vos enfants, il faut désendetter la Belgique, quitte à faire de nouvelles économies, ce qui est difficile.

Hadja Lahbib: Je suis régulièrement en contact avec Peter Piot, qui a joué un rôle majeur dans la découverte du virus. C’est une nouvelle souche. Elle est plus ou moins mortelle, 25 à 50 %. Il y a 80 cas pour l’instant qui sont détectés en République démocratique du Congo, et en Ouganda. Cette nouvelle souche a été trouvée dans une région en conflit, où il y a beaucoup de mouvements de population.

The EU welcomes the additional US humanitarian funding commitment. In a world facing growing humanitarian needs, strong engagement remains essential to deliver life-saving assistance worldwide. We look forward to close cooperation with the US, other global donors & @UNReliefChief #HumanitarianAid #USEngagement #EUSupport #EU #US

Horrible news from Kherson, where a clearly marked @UNOCHA mission, including the Head of OCHA in #Ukraine, came under drone attack while visiting Ostriv. Humanitarian workers are protected under International Humanitarian Law and must never be targeted. #Kherson #HumanitarianLaw #OCHA #UA

More than 1,500 Russian drones and dozens of missiles launched against Ukrainian cities since yesterday. Civilian homes, a school and critical infrastructure struck. Innocent people killed and wounded. Ukrainians need protection, support and solidarity more than ever. https://t.co/ewaFgMgVk8 #StandWithUkraine #EndTheWar #ProtectCivilians #RU #UA

Faster warnings, stronger tools, vaccines and treatments that reach people when they need them. We are launching the Global Health Resilience Initiative to strengthen preparedness in Europe and around the world. https://t.co/1X8j3hzAFM #GlobalHealth #HealthResilience #Preparedness #EU
