Rohingya refugees dream of returning home, but only when it is safe and with full citizenship rights. Ongoing conflicts in Myanmar means that time has not yet come.

The devastating #HurricaneMelissa has struck the Caribbean, causing severe flooding and destruction in Jamaica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Cuba and beyond.

When there’s no tap to turn, how do you get water? Behind every glass in Marassabré camp, hosting Sudanese refugees, is an entire operation: pumps, trucks, fuel and people, all running on a trickle of funding. In today’s #StaffSpotlight, our colleague Petros takes us behind the scenes to show what it really takes to bring water to thousands of refugees in Eastern Chad. #HumanitariansAtWork
How do refugees drink water in a newly established camp in the sahel zone when funding for refugee emergencies is being reduced ? 1. Water needs to be found.Then a simple pump drills it ... 2. ...and sends it to water tanks on a truck 3. The truck moves the water in the camp at the water points and distributes it to other tanks and/or directly to refugees. Water is provided for free by the Chadian authorities. But international donors are needed to fund the water study, the pump, the truck, the fuel for the pump and the truck as well as the people working for all this. On this day, 17.000 refugee men, women and children in Marassabré camp in Eastern Chad survive with fewer than 5 litres of water per person per day. How many litres of water per day do YOU need to drink, shower, wash your clothes and dishes, clean your toilet and cook ?

In the rush of the day, it can be rare to have the space to pause and reflect on what it truly means to be displaced. In this week’s #StaffSpotlight, Hiroshi shares a quiet moment from a refugee camp and a reminder of the reality behind our work. #HumanitariansAtWork
Often days in the camps pass in constant motion, visiting sites, engaging with refugees, meeting authorities, and receiving delegations. Rarely do I manage to take a quiet pause to reflect amid this continuous flow of work. One afternoon, sitting on a bench at a registration site, I wondered what it would feel like to come here not as a humanitarian but as a refugee, displaced, uncertain, and seeking asylum in a foreign land. In that moment, I felt the quiet weight of insecurity and loss of belonging. Having a nationality, a home to return to, and the protection of one’s own state are privileges we often overlook. To be a refugee is not only to be uprooted physically, but to lose those anchors that give meaning and stability to life. A young refugee spoke poignantly. “I ask you, just for a moment, to place yourselves in our position. Feel what it means to wake up every day without purpose, to live without freedom, to wait without an end. Feel the weight of being alive, yet unseen. This is the reality we carry every single day.” As humanitarians, I believe it is essential that we continue to reflect on the plight of refugees and on our own role within it. This will enable us to remain grounded in the principles and realities that define our work, especially in a world growing ever more complex and uncertain.
