Our Acting Director General for International Affairs and Migration Services, Alper Uluca, accompanied by his delegation, attended the IFRC Disaster Response Emergency Fund (DREF) Pledging Conference, which was also attended by Sadık Babür Girgin, Director General for Humanitarian and Technical Assistance at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
During the conference, both the Turkish Red Crescent and the Republic of Türkiye, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, pledged contributions to DREF to strengthen disaster preparedness and response capacities.
These commitments once again reaffirmed our shared dedication to international humanitarian solidarity.

Our 2026 @IFRC_DREF Pledging Conference has just closed.
On behalf of the @IFRC, I extend our sincere appreciation to all partners and donors for your trust, partnership, & commitment. Pledges and confirmed funding commitments for 2026 and 2027 reached nearly CHF 120 million.

593 is more than just a number. Each one represents a life, a helping hand extended to save another…
Every humanitarian worker lost in Gaza leaves a deep wound in the conscience of humanity that will never heal.
Humanitarian workers are #NotATarget.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor.
This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why.
Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people. theintercept.com/2026/09/23/…

Massive coup for Roma and Gasparini, and an ideal marriage for the player to unlock his maximum attacking output. He’s gonna destroy the Calcio and have people questioning the validity Nico Paz dominance
Great stories of resilience!
For 20 years, Bekir has repaired phones in Gaziantep.
After the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes destroyed his workshop, he started working in a car, then a temporary workplace.
#STRIVE Project helped him replace essential tools.

In the hardest-hit areas of Colombia, reaching every community remains a challenge. Damaged infrastructure, landslides and long distances are slowing the delivery of assistance, but local Red Cross volunteers are already there.
With around 20,000 Colombian Red Cross volunteers across the country, teams are using their deep local knowledge and pre-positioned supplies to reach communities with health services, shelter, food, safe water and other essential support.
But the impact of this earthquake will last far beyond the immediate emergency.
The @IFRC has launched an Emergency Appeal to scale up support to the @CruzRojaCol, helping communities meet urgent needs now, while supporting their long road to recovery.

I was pleased to talk earlier today to ZBC television in Harare, reflecting on my visit to Zimbabwe so far. I talked about the importance of stronger humanitarian partnerships, greater investment in disaster preparedness and how locally led action can help communities withstand growing climate and disaster risks.
Share my warmest regards with the team at @philredcross and of course the delegation.
Honored to present my Letter of Credentials to H.E. Leila C. Lara-Santos, Asst. Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of the Philippines (@DFAPHL) as IFRC Head of Delegation. Committed to strengthening our partnership with the Govt of the Philippines and @philredcross

Great to see this. Huge partnership potential.
Resilience must be built before disasters strike.
While in Abidjan, I was pleased to meet with @Ngabitsinze, Director General of Africa Risk Capacity, to discuss how ARC and IFRC can strengthen anticipatory action, climate resilience and disaster preparedness across Africa.

We have completed another Eid al-Adha with a deep sense of gratitude and peace, knowing that we have faithfully fulfilled the trusts entrusted to us by our generous donors. 🇹🇷🌙
With the support of the donors who entrusted us with their proxy donations this year, we facilitated the delivery of 199,846 qurbani shares to people in need across Türkiye and 30 countries.
We sincerely thank everyone who joined this journey of kindness through their trust, prayers, and commitment. 💐

Floods have hit northern Turkey — and the @RedCrescent responded immediately.
Teams are on the ground alongside national authorities, providing food and support to people who have been affected.

Kindness knows no borders! 🌍✨
According to the IFRC report, the Turkish Red Crescent delivered:
🔹 CHF 119 million in total humanitarian assistance,
🔹 74% of all aid provided to Syria,
🔹 48% of all aid provided to Palestine.
We are proud to have carried out 26% of the total assistance delivered by all National Societies worldwide.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this collective humanitarian effort! ❤️
