An atrocious Russian drone strike hit Dnipro's railway station 🇺🇦 targeting a platform of commuter & passenger trains. 13 people were killed, 10 injured.
Civilians and civilian infrastructure can never be legitimate targets. IHL must be respected, everywhere, without exception.

Profundamente entristecida por el grave accidente ferroviario en Toledo. Mis pensamientos están con las víctimas, sus familias y sus seres queridos.
Gracias a los servicios de emergencia que trabajan sobre el terreno.
Europa está con España. 🇪🇺🇪🇸

This United Nations Day, we reaffirm the importance of working together to tackle global challenges that no single nation can solve alone.
We remain committed to working with the @UN towards a more peaceful, just and sustainable world.

When disaster strikes, the EU is there to help.
For 25 years, the #EUCivilProtectionMechanism has brought together first responders, experts, and aid from across Europe to protect lives when every second counted.
A quarter-century of protection, preparedness, and solidarity.

Yemen is one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises.
22 million people need assistance, 5.2 million are displaced, and over 2.2 million children under five suffer from acute malnutrition. The EU is stepping up with €22.5 million in new humanitarian funding.

🚨 9,600 people affected by floods and landslides in #Myanmar’s Tanintharyi region will receive emergency aid, including cash support, shelter and clean water.
🇪🇺 The EU is providing €225,000 via @IFRC_DREF to support the response and reach affected families.

Aid has no legs. No wings. No wheels.
If bread reaches a starving family, a person carried it there. Humanitarian diplomacy rarely makes headlines. But it can open a prison door.
Among our concrete results: the Netherlands joins our Protect Aid Workers programme 🇳🇱

A vest marked “humanitarian” used to work like a shield. Today it can work like a target.
Day 2 of our conference on protecting aid workers: we move from diagnosis to treatment. To tangible solutions. Duty of care, data, psychological protection, accountability.
EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 retweeted
No humanitarian aid without the people who deliver it. Aid workers risk their lives every day. They must never become targets.
The EU is expanding our Protect Aid Workers programme worldwide. This is the first tangible deliverable of our 🇪🇺 Humanitarian Communication.
EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 retweeted
Brussels, today. The European Council meets. So do the people who risk everything to help others.
The first major Protection of Aid Workers Conference worldwide starts now. Two days to listen & come up with tangible deliverables to keep humanitarians safe.
Stay connected.

2025 was the worst year on record for aid workers: 1,187 killed, injured, kidnapped or detained.
Behind the numbers: Roshida, Oleh, Justine. The EU helped them stay safe & recover.
The EU protects those who protect lives. See you at the Protect Aid Workers conference 🇪🇺

Relentless drone strikes have been targeting displaced people in #Sudan’s West Kordofan and Blue Nile states in recent days.
Attacks on civilians must stop. Those who violate international humanitarian law must be held accountable.
