?? Shelter Security Crisis Alert: Haiti Update The current shelter situation in Haiti is dire and rapidly deteriorating, reflecting the broader humanitarian crisis gripping the country. As of January 2025, over one million people are internally displaced in Haiti, marking a threefold increase from the previous year. This massive displacement has put enormous strain on existing shelter infrastructure and host communities. Our GANNET Virtual Assistant analysis highlights that the shelter crisis is compounded by ongoing gang violence, which has led to the destruction of homes and forced many to flee multiple times. This constant displacement not only traumatizes the affected population but also makes it challenging to establish stable living conditions.

Today, we at Data Friendly Space are launching the Myanmar SituationHub—a resource we've developed pro bono to support our fellow humanitarian actors working in an increasingly challenging environment. With funding shortfalls affecting all of us in the sector, we believe that access to reliable information shouldn't be another casualty of resource constraints. Many humanitarians working on the Myanmar response know the reality on the ground: millions displaced, communities cut off from essential services, and humanitarian access severely restricted in many areas. The complexity of the crisis makes coordinated information more critical than ever, yet harder to obtain as resources stretch thin. This is why we created the Myanmar SituationHub, which provides a crisis overview with interactive insights featuring key quantitative data, media monitoring for accessing the most relevant and up-to-date news, and weekly in-depth situation reports. It supports both humanitarian responders analyzing the crisis and those seeking to understand the country's complex situation. As practitioners ourselves, we understand the value of evidence-based planning. We hope this platform helps us collectively navigate the information gaps and supports your teams in making informed decisions. The SituationHub is available now, and we welcome your feedback as we continue to develop it to serve our shared humanitarian mission in Myanmar. Access it here: analysis.gannet.ai/myanmar

?? Shelter Security Crisis Alert: Syria Update The shelter situation in Syria remains complex, reflecting the ongoing humanitarian crisis that has plagued the country for over a decade. Many Syrians who have attempted to return to their areas of origin have found their homes damaged or completely uninhabitable, a stark reminder of the conflict's lasting impact. Our GANNET Virtual Assistant analysis highlights that the situation is particularly grim in displacement settings, where overcrowding, lack of privacy, and poor living conditions are commonplace. This ongoing shelter crisis not only threatens the physical well-being of millions but also undermines their dignity and basic human rights, making it a critical aspect of the humanitarian response in Syria.

Three years into the war in #Ukraine, the conflict continues to shape the regional and global geopolitical landscape. An estimated 12.7 million people are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance, with 9.2 million requiring health-related support. The war has caused widespread displacement, and the conflict's toll on civilians is severe. The destruction cause by the war is extensive, with more than 2 million homes damaged or destroyed, leaving countless families without shelter. The situation remains precarious, and it demands continued international attention and humanitarian aid to support those affected by the ongoing hostilities.

?? Investing in humanitarian services has never been more important Humanitarian service providers enable efficiency in operations. These specialized organizations provide the assessment, coordination, and information management tools that allow the entire humanitarian system to function efficiently. Funding them represents a small fraction of humanitarian budgets but catalyses quality improvement across all aid efforts, making every overall operational funding more effective. Yet today, these critical services are at risk. Donors and policymakers must act now to protect these essential services. #DontFreezeAidQuality Read the H2H Network Statement on the Impact of the US Foreign Aid Freeze on Critical Humanitarian Tools and Services ?? https://lnkd.in/ezzkbajJ
