El terremoto, cuyo epicentro se ubicó cerca de Ciudad Hidalgo, cerca de la frontera con Guatemala, se sintió ampliamente en partes de México, Guatemala y El Salvador, lo que provocó evacuaciones y la activación de protocolos de emergencia. El Centro de Alerta de Tsunamis de EE. UU. emitió una alerta de tsunami y las autoridades de protección civil aconsejan a las comunidades costeras que se mantengan alertas. Las autoridades mexicanas informaron de al menos 39 réplicas en las horas posteriores al temblor principal, incluyendo una de magnitud 6,5. Las autoridades no han informado de víctimas ni daños graves, aunque las evaluaciones siguen en curso. HAITÍ: VIOLENCIA Y DESPLAZAMIENTO La violencia sigue impulsando desplazamientos en el departamento de Artibonite de Haití. En Dessaline y Petite Rivière, los ataques que comenzaron el 6 de julio desplazaron a unas 3.225 personas. La mayoría de las familias (93%) buscaron refugio en comunidades anfitrionas, mientras que el resto se refugia en seis sitios de desplazamiento, incluido uno recién establecido. El 12 de julio, la violencia armada en el municipio de Saint-Marc desplazó al menos a 705 personas, todas ellas alojadas con familias de acogida. Los incidentes reflejan el ciclo continuo de desplazamiento que afecta a comunidades en Haití. Al mismo tiempo, el creciente número de personas migrantes retornadas forzosamente está ejerciendo una presión adicional sobre las comunidades de acogida, con más de 26.500 personas retornadas solo en junio y un aumento del 11% en los retornos durante la primera mitad de 2026 en comparación con el mismo período del año pasado.

As of 16 July, authorities reported 4,930 deaths, 16,740 injuries and 17,907 people left homeless. Authorities have recorded more than 1,300 aftershocks, while assessments indicate that at least 856 buildings were damaged, including 190 that collapsed. More than 21,000 people remain in 107 transitional camps. Humanitarian partners continue to scale up health, food, protection, shelter and WASH assistance across the most affected states, particularly La Guaira, Miranda and the Capital District. Assessments continue to identify significant needs related to shelter, access to basic services, food security and psychosocial support as many affected people remain unable to return home. Support the Venezuelan Humanitarian Fund here For more information, visit: ReliefWeb Response MEXICO: EARTHQUAKE On 17 July at approximately 8:49am (local time), a 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Chiapas, Mexico, at a depth of 10km. The earthquake, centred near Ciudad Hidalgo close to the Guatemala border, was widely felt across parts of Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador, prompting evacuations and the activation of emergency protocols. The U.S. Tsunami Warning Center issued a tsunami advisory and civil protection officials advise coastal communities to remain catious. Mexican authorities reported at least 39 aftershocks in the hours following the main tremor, including one measuring magnitude 6.5. Authorities have not reported any casualties or major damage, although assessments remain ongoing. HAITI: VIOLENCE & DISPLACEMENT Violence continues to drive displacement across Haiti’s Artibonite department. In Dessaline and Petite Rivière, attacks beginning on 6 July displaced an estimated 3,225 people. Most families (93 per cent) sought refuge with host communities, while the remaining are sheltering in six displacement sites, including one newly established site. On 12 July, armed violence in the municipality of Saint-Marc displaced at least 705 people, all of whom found shelter with host families. The incidents reflect the continued cycle of displacement affecting communities across Haiti. At the same time, growing numbers of forcibly returned migrants are placing additional pressure on host communities, with more than 26,500 people returned in June alone and returns during the first half of 2026 up 11 per cent compared with the same period last year. GUATEMALA: RAINY SEASON Guatemala’s rainy season, which runs from May to October, continues to affect communities across the country. As of 14 July, authorities report 13 deaths, one missing person and more than 33,000 people affected, with over 900 rain-related emergencies registered nationwide. Flooding, river overflows, landslides, fallen trees and severe storms have damaged more than 6,400 homes, prompted nearly 14,000 evacuations and forced over 1,000 people into temporary shelters. Alta Verapaz remains the hardest-hit department, accounting for the highest number of reported incidents. While the ongoing rainy season continues to heighten humanitarian needs, authorities and humanitarian partners are also preparing for the anticipated impacts of El Niño, including an increased risk of drought and crop losses in the country’s Dry Corridor.

This advocacy brief was developed by the IASC Gender Reference Group (GRG) to promote a gender-integrated Ebola response. It synthesizes evidence on the disproportionate impact of the outbreak on women and girls, highlighting the gender-specific risks, including heightened gender-based violence, disruptions to essential life-saving services (including sexual and reproductive health), livelihood losses and barriers to education. It also emphasizes the critical role of local women’s organizations in outbreak prevention, community engagement and service delivery. The brief translates these findings into practical recommendations for responders, donors and coordination mechanisms. These are intended to strengthen the Ebola response by identifying and addressing the specific needs of women and girls, as well as promoting and resourcing their crucial leadership. The brief was informed by a virtual ad hoc GRG consultation held on 25 June 2026 involving local women’s organizations, the DRC Gender in Humanitarian Action Working Group and the national GBV Working Group.

Country: World Source: International Committee of the Red Cross As technologies reshape conflict and humanitarian action across borders, today’s humanitarian challenges are inherently global, demanding dialogue that brings together diverse perspectives and expertise. The article highlights key insights from the Symposium on the Responsible Use of Technology in Humanitarian Action, held in Beijing in December 2025, presenting shared dilemmas, emerging challenges, and avenues for continued engagement. “Humanitarian challenges today are global, and so must be the solutions” said Gong Ke, Executive Director of the Chinese Institute of New Generation AI Development Strategies. Part of his opening remarks during a sunny, brisk winter morning in Beijing, Gong Ke spoke to the importance of responsible AI safeguards in humanitarian action, from prioritizing urgent needs to ensuring inclusive datasets. The event was situated a few kilometers away from Tsinghua, one of the leading engineering and technology university in China, and Zhongguancun Science Park, the country’s leading tech and innovation hub. Co-organised by the ICRC’s Global Cyber Hub in Luxembourg, the ICRC’s Regional Delegation for East Asia in Beijing and the Center for International Security and Strategy (CISS) at Tsinghua University, the Beijing Symposium drew together more than 80 humanitarian practitioners, policy experts, industry representatives and researchers from almost 20 countries in Asia, Europe, Africa and North America, helping to connect operational concerns with wider discussions on AI governance and safety, cyber risks, and the digital transformation. The Beijing Symposium formed an important part of a broader ICRC Symposium series launched in 2018 to create an open, trusted space for cross-sector and interdisciplinary dialogue on technology, cybersecurity, data protection, and humanitarian action. Earlier events in the series were held in London, Luxembourg, Nairobi, Geneva, and Vienna. The Beijing edition deepened engagement with Chinese and Global South perspectives on the responsible use of technology in warfare and in humanitarian action. Why now, and why in Beijing? Technologies have long shaped how wars are fought, and today, they increasingly shape how humanitarian organisations assess needs, communicate, plan, and deliver. In an era of protracted armed conflicts coupled with the outbreak of new conflicts, humanitarian needs rise while funding is dramatically reduced. This is causing the humanitarian sector to scale up technological solutions to meet greater needs with fewer resources. Yet, the adoption of technology must go hand in hand with principles, guardrails, and policies to guide its use. This could minimise risks of unintended harm and erosion of trust in the humanitarian sector’s ability to operate in a principled way. “Throughout the long arc of human civilization, technology has always been a driving force for social progress. Yet precisely because technology carries so much promise, we must ensure it is used responsibly.” YANG Bin, Vice Chancellor of the Tsinghua University Council Chinese technology and products, from drones and satellite navigation systems to telecommunications networks and open-weight AI models, have achieved significant global reach. The ICRC has been leveraging some Chinese technology and manufacturing prowess to help people in hard-to-reach areas and supply them with adaptive solutions. In the meantime, China has also deepened its role in global governance of data and AI. For the ICRC, engagement with China matters because it offers an opportunity to learn and exchange on consequences and guardrails, and maintain the balanced and neutral approach crucial for the ICRC to operate in a polarized technological enviornment. Through dialogue at the Symposium and other events, the goal is to better understand technological trends and build mutual understanding of the shared values and principles that underpin the design and use of these technologies. With these contexts in mind, the following sections highlight the key messages from the discussions in Beijing. “The kind of [digital] dilemmas we grapple with in situations of war are like a magnifying glass that bring out certain issues in a very stark way.” Balthasar Staehelin, former Personal Envoy of the ICRC President to China and former Head of the ICRC Regional Delegation for East Asia Responsible and inclusive AI: from principles to practice AI is already being explored in humanitarian settings across a growing range of functions: optimising logistics and humanitarian supply chains to forecast demand; analysing satellite imagery and detecting conflict-related damage to serve as an early-warning system; and strengthening data analysis to inform operational planning. At the same time, AI outputs reflect the data it is trained on, the incentives of those who build it, and the contexts in which it is deployed. At the Beijing Symposium, participants highlighted that AI risks are highly context-dependent, back-office tools carry manageable exposure, whereas systems influencing triage, early warning, or aid distribution demand far greater scrutiny. On AI governance, participants converged on a human-centred baseline: AI should not replace human decision-making, and responsibility cannot be delegated to machines. The priority now is translating these principles into practice through concrete safeguards, clear chains of responsibility, robust testing and evaluation, and enforceable accountability across the full AI lifecycle. Participants stressed that the remaining question is how these frameworks can become truly inclusive across different contexts. As the AI divide widens, there is a real risk that low-resource countries and humanitarian actors will be shaped by governance models developed without their full participation, even though these are often the settings where the stakes are highest. Therefore, ensuring that various perspectives are represented in ongoing dialogues will be essential. “Digital technologies have become a lifeline for humanitarian response, which is precisely why humanitarian principles must be integrated into technology design from the very start.” Els Debuf, Head of ICRC Global Cyber Hub in Luxembourg Back to the Basics: digital infrastructure and trust in humanitarian action In a broader context where advanced technologies and innovation are often seen as offering promising solutions, humanitarian actors often find themselves returning to first principles. In crisis settings, the most important form of “tech for good” remains robust digital infrastructure: connectivity, power, and offline-capable systems. Once those basics are in place, the challenge then is how to use digital tools and systems without creating dependency on external platforms or

Éléments nouveaux/faits marquants intervenus depuis la diffusion de la carte précédente sur PacNet, le 07 juillet 2026 : Dengue • Nouvelle-Calédonie : Entre le 1er janvier et le 5 juillet 2026, un nombre total de 2 181 cas de dengue ont été signalés, dont 1 982 cas autochtones confirmés. Après avoir atteint un pic durant la semaine 17, l’épidémie est désormais en phase de recul, un phénomène régulièrement observé à l’arrivée de la saison fraîche, qui s’accompagne généralement d’un ralentissement ou d’une interruption de la transmission. Le sérotype 1 (DENV-1) reste le seul en circulation. L’âge médian des personnes infectées est de 29 ans et le ratio hommes-femmes est de 0,9, les taux d’incidence les plus élevés étant observés dans les tranches d’âge de 10 à 14 ans (338 cas) et de 15 à 19 ans, principalement en milieu scolaire. Au total, 78 patients ont été hospitalisés (moyenne d’âge : 46 ans), dont un au cours des 15 derniers jours, et trois décès ont été enregistrés : l’un chez une personne co-infectée par la leptospirose et la dengue, et deux chez des personnes présentant des comorbidités. À l’échelle territoriale, le taux d’incidence s’élève à 804 cas pour 100 000 habitants. Dans 32 % des cas déclarés, les personnes infectées résident dans des communes du Grand Nouméa où près de 80 % des moustiques sont porteurs de la bactérie Wolbachia et où est mis en œuvre le World Mosquito Program. L’incidence hebdomadaire dans cette zone demeure toutefois inférieure à 40 cas pour 100 000 habitants, alors qu’un pic avoisinant les 200 cas pour 100 000 habitants a été enregistré fin avril en dehors du Grand Nouméa. Il est conseillé aux habitants de consulter rapidement un médecin en cas de fièvre, de maux de tête ou de douleurs musculaires et articulaires, et d’éviter de prendre de l’aspirine et de l’ibuprofène si une infection par le virus de la dengue est suspectée. L’alerte bleue pour la dengue est maintenue. – Sources : ALERTE DASS – Épidémie de dengue (5 juillet 2026) et La dengue | Direction des Affaires sanitaires et sociales de Nouvelle-Calédonie, page consultée le 14 juillet 2026. • Vanuatu : Au cours de la semaine épidémiologique 27, l’épidémie de dengue s’est poursuivie dans le sud-ouest de l’île d’Efate (province de Shefa), le nombre total de cas confirmés en laboratoire s’élevant à 38, dont neuf nouveaux cas détectés durant la semaine 27. Le nombre de cas recensés chaque semaine demeure supérieur au seuil d’alerte fixé à quatre cas hebdomadaires. Deux hospitalisations supplémentaires ont également été signalées durant cette semaine, ce qui porte le nombre total d’hospitalisations à six (15,8 %). Une personne reste hospitalisée, tandis que les autres personnes infectées se sont rétablies et ont pu quitter l’hôpital. À ce jour, aucun décès lié à la dengue n’a été enregistré. Les cas se concentrent dans le quartier de Pango (34 %), suivi par Eratap (21 %), et d’autres cas ont été signalés dans les quartiers d’Erakor, d’Eton, de Port-Vila et de Mele, ce qui tend à montrer que la répartition géographique de l’épidémie s’élargit. Les hommes représentent 55 % des cas, lesquels sont majoritairement recensés chez des individus âgés de moins de 26 ans (64 %). Cinq échantillons envoyés en laboratoire à des fins de sérotypage et de tests de confirmation ont tous confirmé la présence du sérotype 1 du virus de la dengue. Les activités de riposte se poursuivent au sein des communautés touchées, notamment des investigations épidémiologiques, des mesures de lutte antivectorielle et l’élimination des gîtes larvaires. L’alerte rouge pour la dengue (DENV-1) est maintenue. – Source : Rapport de situation no 7 sur l’épidémie de dengue dans le sud-ouest de l’île d’Efate (province de Shefa, Vanuatu), Unité de surveillance nationale de Vanuatu, publié sur PacNet le 10 juillet 2026.

Country: Ethiopia Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Please refer to the attached file. HIGHLIGHTS In 2025, the Ethiopia Humanitarian Fund (EHF) allocated US$44.2 million to assist approximately 3.2 million people affected by disease outbreaks, conflict and climate-induced crises. The funding was distributed through one standard allocation and three reserve allocations, targeting urgent needs in Amhara, Benishangul-Gumuz, Gambela, Oromia, Somali, Tigray and contested areas. Reserve allocations played a critical role in addressing emerging crises. The First Reserve Allocation ($5.2 million) focused on cholera response, emergency health and GBV case management amid operational challenges and funding gaps. The Second Reserve Allocation ($6 million) addressed life-threatening needs in Tigray due to displacement, while the Third Reserve Allocation ($16 million) supported internally displaced people, returnees and refugees nationwide, emphasizing cash assistance and dignified transition options aligned with the Humanitarian Reset strategy. The First Standard Allocation ($17 million) addressed multi-sectoral priorities such as nutrition, health, WASH, agriculture, ender-based violence (GBV), and education, responding to compounded effects of conflict and displacement. EHF was one of the principal sources of funding for local actors in the country channelling 81 per cent of its total funding to local and national NGOs, while also prioritizing support for women‑led organizations to address GBV and conflict‑related sexual violence. These allocations reflected a principled, adaptive humanitarian response amid Ethiopia’s complex and evolving crisis landscape.
