The persistent violations of international humanitarian law are deeply worrying. Yet, #IHL remains the best shield against the worst effects of war.
 
We have to push for compliance and make effective use of humanitarian diplomacy and advocacy.
 
#EHF2024

Very grateful to hear a strong Caroline Gennez present Norwegian Refugee Council’s #NeglectedCrisesPlatform as a first takeaway of the #EHF2024 . There are no humanitarian solutions to humanitarian problems. We need political engagement to break the cycle of neglect. Because neglect is a choice.

The rise of misinformation, disinformation and hate speech on digital platforms is causing real-world harm to the most vulnerable.

Hear from Gisella Lomax 🇺🇳 at #EHF2024 explaining the harms of misinformation and what UNHCR & partners are doing to address the issue.

Zúčastnili jsme se #EHF 2024 .
S potěšením jsme zaznamenali, že #EU chápe potřebu navýšení rozpočtů na humanitární pomoc, jak bylo přislíbeno mnoha představitely členských států.
#EHF nám umožnilo setkat se se zástupci našich strategických dárců, kteří jsou páteří společného úsilí.

In Brussels this week, Cindy McCain Cindy McCain spoke at #EHF2024 and with Charles Michel, Janez Lenarčič, Jutta Urpilainen, Caroline Gennez and others.

Dr Neil Spenceley with a powerful keynote in the perils of error counting, root cause analysis, and focusing on what went wrong in healthcare. I love the closing message that ‘Workers are the root remedy’ #ciehf #ehf2024 #healthcare #humanfactors #patientsafety

A great opportunity to share the joint work with ED colleagues Clare and Hannah East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust, where redesigning their walk in process using HF has helped improve safety Elective & Emergency Care Improvement Support Team CIEHF #ehf2024

Exciting to have Cindy McCain here in Brussels for the #EHF2024 to highlight the global food crisis, the human tragedy in #Gaza & a number of crises that must not be forgotten. Thanks EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 & Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU 2024 for hosting & the #EU for supporting @WFP in the fight against #hunger !

Humanitarian aid alone is not a solution.
We need to work together to strengthen the humanitarian-development-peace nexus to support vulnerable communities into the future.
 
Good discussion with Beth Bechdol from Food and Agriculture Organization and Franck Bousquet from IMF at the #EHF2024 today.

Hand in hand, we can help each other, as humans in a humane way.

Interesting to listen to Clare Crowley talk about a HSSIB project to apply FRAM to an ED setting and learning disability patients. One for you Jane O'Hara #EHF2024

Press conference with Janez Lenarčič, as conclusion of #EHF2024 . Grateful for the significant pledge by the EU towards humanitarian needs, but the funding gap remains large.

All countries within the international community must take up their responsability.

Recovering from an awesome #EHF2024 organised by the CIEHF

Proud of the K Sharp Ltd team including Kate Preston and Aimee Ferguson who presented their PHD work, and the whole team winning the Mystery night :-)
