As 2024 closes, I pay tribute to over 300 humanitarian workers who lost their lives this year – deadliest on record.
I hope that in 2025 international law is upheld, we see genuine accountability, and humanitarian workers are protected to serve those most in need.

👏 THANK YOU! 💚
Without your support this year we wouldn't have been able to help people living in the hardest to reach places in the world.
With your help, we are working with local communities to support emergency responses and development programmes reaching millions of people living in extreme poverty.
Together, we can end extreme poverty.

Everywhere we look, peace is under attack.
From Gaza, to Sudan, to Ukraine and beyond we see:
Civilians in the firing line.
Homes blown apart.
Traumatised, terrified populations.
This catalogue of human misery must stop.
Our world needs peace.

With more than 25M Sudanese people currently in humanitarian need, children are already dying & will continue to do so until the fighting ends & there is a major response by the international community.

Climate change is contributing to the intensity of the monsoon rains in #Bangladesh. Our team is on the ground working with communities impacted by the resultant floods.
"Bangladesh experiencing flooding at large scale across the country due to combination of climatic & natural factors; extreme rainfall.
While monsoon rains vary in severity in Bangladesh, climate change has critically contributed to intensity of rains. #ClimateActionNow @Concern

We welcome the commitment by @MichealMartinTD to raise the horror of the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Sudan with his EU counterparts.
Intervention by the EU & the wider international community is long overdue, 16 months after the conflict began.

Min Ossian Smyth contributed to today’s #SOFI2024 event on Financing to End Hunger, Food Insecurity & Malnutrition.
He noted 🇮🇪’s efforts to address this, incl. by financing all parts of the food value chain.
In 2023, 🇮🇪 spent €284M on agriculture, food & nutrition programmes.

Pleased to launch the €15m Hanaano initiative to combat child hunger in parts of Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia.
Child wasting has devastating consequences for children and their families.
Working with partners like Concern Worldwide, I’m confident we can make a real difference.

Fantastic to see the Charities Amendment Bill pass the final stages of the legislative process today.
One of the key changes contained in the bill is that, for the first time in Ireland, the advancement of human rights is considered to be a valid charitable purpose!

A sobering assessment from @theipcinfo on #Sudan.
Food insecurity is the worst it's ever been in the country.
Over 25M people face high levels of acute hunger, including 755K in catastrophic conditions and 8.5M in emergency levels.
This could have been avoided.
