HIGHLIGHTS Am-Dafock: More than 1,800 people receive assistance through mobile clinics 300 returnee households receive essential household items and non-food items in Zémio Bambari: 500 people trained on epidemic risk prevention, alert and response GENERAL CONTEXT Mbomou Prefecture – South-East During the night of 20–21 July, armed elements raided Tandjia village, located 12 km from Nzako, and abducted approximately 20 people, including children. 15 adults were released on 21 July, while six boys remained in captivity and were taken towards Ndenguilo village along the Chinko axis. Following the incident, the Central African Armed Forces (FACA) based in Nzako launched search operations. In response to heightened protection risks, particularly the abduction of children, local authorities conducted community awareness-raising activities, urging communities to restrict children’s movements to farms, mining sites and hunting areas during the school holiday period. HUMANITARIAN NEEDS AND RESPONSE Multi-sector Haut-Mbomou Prefecture – South-East From 15 to 16 July, COOPI, in partnership with Action Communautaire pour la Reconstruction et le Développement Durable (ACRED), provided multi-sectoral assistance to 300 vulnerable households in Komboli village, near Zémio. The beneficiaries, who are returnees, received shelter kits comprising bamboo sheets, ropes and locally sourced timber, based on their preferences. Non-food items and essential household items were also distributed, including tarpaulins, blankets, sleeping mats, mosquito nets, buckets and kitchen utensils. In addition, each household received cash assistance to help cover costs related to the construction or rehabilitation of their shelters. The intervention forms part of the emergency response for internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees and host communities in Zémio sub-prefecture, with support from the Central African Republic Humanitarian Fund (CAR HF). Health Countrywide Between 10 and 20 July, seven new suspected cholera cases were reported, including four in health facilities and three in communities. No deaths were recorded during the reporting period. Since the outbreak was declared on 26 June, a cumulative total of 650 suspected cases and 44 deaths have been reported, while 595 people have recovered. Under the coordination of the Ministry of Health, response activities continued in affected areas. As part of efforts to strengthen epidemiological surveillance, 40 epidemiologists and data managers were trained to ensure the daily updating of surveillance data at the health district level. In addition, 25 traditional practitioners in Bangui were trained in active case finding and rapid referral of suspected cases to treatment facilities. Of the seven newly reported suspected cases, four are currently receiving treatment, including two at the Community Hospital, one at Bimbo Hospital and one at Maman Elisabeth Domitien University Hospital Center (CHUMED). Infection prevention and control activities continued, with 3,093 people sensitized on household water treatment and 69,120 water purifying tablets distributed. 21 households located around identified cases in Bokassa 1 and Bangui were disinfected. In addition, 125 handwashing stations were installed in the Bimbo and Mbaïki districts, and hygiene staff at the Community Hospital received training on infection prevention and control measures in healthcare settings. Key challenges to the response are data management and the mobilization of the resources required to contain the outbreak.

BESOINS ET REPONSE HUMANITAIRE Multisectoriel Préfecture du Haut-Mbomou – Sud-Est COOPI en partenariat avec l’Action communautaire pour la reconstruction et le développement durable (ACRED), a fourni du 15 au 16 juillet, une assistance multisectorielle à 300 ménages vulnérables au village Komboli près de Zémio. Les bénéficiaires qui sont des personnes retournées ont reçu des kits abris composés de feuilles de bambou, de cordes et de bois locaux selon leurs préférences. Des kits en biens non alimentaires et articles ménagers essentiels, notamment, des bâches, couvertures, nattes, moustiquaires, seaux et des ustensiles de cuisine ont également été distribués. Par ailleurs, chaque ménage a également reçu une assistance en espèces destinée à couvrir les divers coûts liés à la construction ou réhabilitation d’abris. Cette activité s’inscrit dans le cadre de la réponse d’urgence pour les personnes déplacées internes (PDI), retournées et hôtes dans la sous-préfecture de Zemio, avec l’appui du Fonds humanitaire pour la République centrafricaine (FH RCA). A l’échelle nationale Entre le 10 et le 20 juillet, sept nouveaux cas suspects de choléra ont été signalés, dont quatre dans les structures de santé et trois au sein des communautés.

Approximately 436,000 people are estimated to require humanitarian assistance, while 59 deaths have been reported in the seven most affected districts as of 22 July 2026. Government assessments indicate widespread damage to housing and essential services. A total of 74,479 houses have been damaged or destroyed, while flooding has fully or partially damaged 29,076 water points and 36,550 latrines, severely affecting access to safe water and sanitation across 42 upazilas in six districts. The disaster has also had a significant impact on livelihoods and food security. Approximately 27,007 hectares of cropland have been affected, and more than 266,000 livestock have been impacted. Combined losses to the livestock and fisheries sectors are estimated at US$17.3 million across the affected districts. Despite gradual improvements in some areas, active monsoon conditions continue to pose risks. The Bangladesh Meteorological Department forecast heavy to very heavy rainfall in Bandarban, Chattogram, and Cox’s Bazar and issued moderate- and low-risk landslide advisories for these districts. Government authorities, humanitarian organizations, and development partners continue to scale up response efforts, providing food assistance, cash support, health services, protection interventions, shelter assistance, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) support to affected populations while assessments and recovery planning remain ongoing.

Country: Syrian Arab Republic Source: Danish Refugee Council Please refer to the attached file. Executive summary As Syria transitions from the previous Whole of Syria coordination model to a structure at the national level, ensuring inclusive and representative coordination arrangements has become a key priority. This requires the meaningful engagement of returning diaspora, national NGOs, and local actors in contributing to shaping coordination practices and humanitarian standards. While the transition aims to improve the coherence and efficiency of coordination, it must also guarantee the effective and inclusive participation of the diverse range of Syrian civil society actors. Ensuring that these actors can contribute to decision-making processes is essential to strengthening the legitimacy, accountability, and effectiveness of humanitarian coordination in Syria. This policy brief draws on findings from the Bridging Voices: Strengthening Inclusive Coordination and Civil Society Cohesion in Syria (B-Voices) initiative, implemented by Diaspora Emergency Action & Coordination (DEMAC), the Syria NGO Alliance (SNA), and the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) in Syria. It examines opportunities and challenges for inclusive coordination within the evolving humanitarian architecture from the perspective of Syrian civil society actors and presents recommendations to strengthen the participation of Syrian civil society actors. By highlighting the perspectives and experiences of diaspora, national, and local organizations, the brief seeks to inform efforts to build a more inclusive, locally driven, and accountable coordination system.
