Venezuela: Latinoamérica y El Caribe Resumen de Situación Semanal al 10 de julio 2026

Countries: Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of), Colombia, Haiti Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Please refer to the attached Infographic. CIFRAS CLAVE 3,9K personas fallecidas tras dos poderosos terremotos que sacudieron Venezuela el 24 de junio 7,1K personas desplazadas debido a la violencia en el departamento de Ouest de Haití desde el 1 de julio 4M de personas podrían necesitar asistencia alimentaria entre junio y enero en Colombia VENEZUELA: TERREMOTO Más de dos semanas después de los terremotos de magnitud 7,2 y 7,5 del 24 de junio en la región centro-norte de Venezuela, las autoridades informan de 3.889 personas fallecidas, 16.740 heridas y 6.462 rescatadas, con más de 1.100 réplicas registradas. Al 9 de julio, 87 campamentos transitorios siguen brindando apoyo a 16.891 personas en Caracas, La Guaira y Miranda. Los equipos internacionales de búsqueda y rescate urbano han comenzado a desmovilizarse mientras las autoridades nacionales de Protección Civil asumen las operaciones restantes. Tras visitar las comunidades afectadas y reunirse con socios humanitarios nacionales e internacionales, el Subsecretario General de las Naciones Unidas para Asuntos Humanitarios y Coordinador del Socorro de Emergencia, Tom Fletcher, anunció un llamamiento por 298 millones de dólares adicionales para cubrir las necesidades de 1,3 millones de personas en los próximos seis meses. Las necesidades prioritarias siguen concentradas en alojamiento, salud, agua, saneamiento e higiene (WASH), protección, salud mental y apoyo psicosocial. Save the Children ha expresado preocupación por el bienestar de los aproximadamente 680.000 niñas y niños afectados, cuyos padres y psicólogos informan de signos de angustia aguda. El último análisis del Clúster de Protección, liderado por ACNUR, también señala un aumento de los riesgos de separación familiar, violencia de género y exclusión de la asistencia entre menores, mujeres, personas mayores y personas con discapacidad, impulsados por alojamientos superpoblados, redes de apoyo familiares y comunitarias interrumpidas, y brechas en los servicios para quienes se alojan informalmente fuera de los campamentos designados. A medida que la fase de emergencia va llegando a su fin, los actores humanitarios están priorizando la ampliación del acceso y fortalecer la capacidad para identificar y responder a estos riesgos en el futuro.

Los enfrentamientos del 1 de julio en las localidades de Pinso y Grand-État, en la comuna de Ganthier, desplazaron a 1.328 personas (262 hogares), todas las cuales se refugiaron con familias de acogida dentro del municipio. En Kenscoff, los ataques que comenzaron la noche del 4 al 5 de julio y se extendieron el 8 de julio desplazaron a 5.840 personas (1.836 hogares). La violencia, que resultó en pérdida de vidas, incendios de viviendas y secuestros, también obligó al cierre de tres sitios preexistentes, desplazando a personas que ya se encontraban desplazadas. La mayoría se aloja con familias de acogida, mientras que el 14% se ha trasladado a dos sitios. El incidente supone el mayor desplazamiento de la zona desde febrero de 2025. COLOMBIA: SEGURIDAD ALIMENTARIA Una combinación de choques meteorológicos, inseguridad localizada y presiones sobre los precios están impulsando la inseguridad alimentaria en algunas partes de Colombia. Según el último informe de FEWS NET, se prevé que los niveles de Crisis (Fase 3 de la CIF) de inseguridad alimentaria persistan hasta enero de 2027 en los departamentos de La Guajira y Chocó. En La Guajira, las condiciones de El Niño que se están desarrollando agravan los impactos de la sequía en el ganado y los cultivos, mientras que, en Chocó, el riesgo persistente de inundaciones y la inseguridad continúan interrumpiendo el transporte fluvial y el acceso a los mercados, especialmente en la subregión de Baudó. Se prevé que la población que necesita asistencia humanitaria alimentaria en el país aumente gradualmente hasta situarse entre 4,0 y 4,99 millones de personas, identificándose a los hogares rurales pobres, indígenas, afrocolombianos, migrantes venezolanos y de la economía informal urbana como las poblaciones que suscitan mayor preocupación.

cameroon: violence against health care in conflict 2025

Cameroon: Violence Against Health Care in Conflict 2025

Country: Cameroon Sources: Insecurity Insight, Safeguarding Health in Conflict Please refer to the attached file. Repeated Violence and Insecurity Continued to Affect the Functioning of Health Services in Cameroon in 2025 Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition (SHCC) Using data collected by Insecurity Insight, the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition (SHCC) identified 30 incidentsof violence against or obstruction of health care in Cameroon in 2025. 18 health workers were kidnapped and nine arrested. The report examines patterns of attacks affecting health workers, facilities, patients, and transport amid intensifying conflict between armed groups, and explores the consequences for access to health care, particularly in remote and conflict-affected regions. The report notes that the true scale of attacks is likely higher than documented due to underreporting in inaccessible areas and reduced humanitarian presence, including the impact of cuts to USAID funding on health service provision and monitoring. The report forms part of SHCC’s annual report‘Care in the Crosshairs’. Key findings: For the second consecutive year, reported health worker kidnappings in Northwest region increased, with Ambazonian separatists and Bui Unity Warriors often named as perpetrators. Gendarmerie forces in Northwest and Southwest regions continued to arrest health workers, accusing them of links to opposition groups. Health workers were mostly harmed while on their way to or from work, at home, or pursuing a private activity, highlighting how their vulnerability is heightened in their non-working lives within the community. Lockdowns enforced by non-state armed groups and movement restrictions linked to armed clashes limited health workers’ and patients’ ability to travel to obtain health care and disrupted routine preventive health care activities. Insecurity, movement restrictions, and access constraints during lockdown periods forced humanitarian partners to suspend or adapt field operations, resulting in operational delays and reduced capacity to implement activities in certain areas and constraining the delivery of medical assistance. Full report available in English and French. Insecurity Insight updates data continuously and numbers may change if new information is made publicly available. For the latest available figures, see Insecurity Insight’s global map on attacks on health care since 2016. Other resources Drawing on a decade of systematically collected data, Still Under Attackdocuments the scale, patterns, and consequences of attacks on health care in conflict-affected settings worldwide since the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2286 in 2016: Based exclusively on Insecurity Insight’s data collection, it highlights how violence against health care is becoming normalised, with serious consequences for civilians, disease response and health systems. The report provides detailed analysis of perpetrators, methods of attack and emerging risks, including the growing role of new technologies in conflict environments. It also offers recommendations for governments, international organisations, humanitarian actors and the diplomatic community aimed at strengthening the protection of health care and improving accountability for violations. Published every two weeks, the Attacks on Health News Brief comprises threats and violence as well as protests and other events affecting the delivery of and access to health care around the world.

World: At least one million women and girls lose access to critical support as aid cuts dismantle women’s organizations working in humanitarian crises

Countries: World, Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti Source: UN Women New York/Geneva, 10 July 2026 – As armed conflicts reach highest levels in 80 years, organizations providing life-saving services to women and girls are running out of money. Beyond the Breaking Point, a new UN Women report published today on the impact of aid cuts, finds that at least one million women and girls have lost access to critical support since January 2025. The report is based on responses from 855 women-led and women’s rights organizations across 52 crisis-and conflict-affected countries. “The women’s organizations at risk of being shut down are on the frontlines of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises. In countries including Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Haiti, they operate where international actors cannot and stay long after global attention has moved on. Every dollar withdrawn from women’s organizations is a dollar withdrawn from survivors of conflict-related sexual violence, displaced mothers, girls forced from school, and communities struggling to survive”, said Sofia Calltorp, UN Women Chief of Humanitarian Action. The collapse of women’s organizations is happening as needs reach historic levels. Some 120 million women and girls require humanitarian assistance and protection worldwide [1] and 84 per cent of women’s organizations surveyed report that demand for their services has increased since January 2025. Nearly nine in 10 say they can no longer meet current levels of need. Two in five organizations surveyed expect to shut down, temporarily or permanently, within the next year. To keep life-saving services afloat, women leading or working in the organizations surveyed are paying with their own labour, income, and wellbeing. Many are crisis-affected themselves. Sixty-five per cent of women-led organizations report staff working without pay to keep services running. As organizations slip into survival mode, 48 per cent – nearly half – report rising burnout among their staff, while 88 per cent say the mental health of the women and girls they serve is deteriorating. Beyond the breaking point: The continuing impact of funding cuts on women’s organizations in humanitarian settings Read more Download The consequences of the funding cuts are already visible. Half of women’s organizations have introduced waiting lists or are turning away women and girls in need. Ninety-two per cent of organizations report increasing levels of poverty among the women they serve, while 82 per cent report seeing more girls dropping out of school. Conflict-related sexual violence doubled in 2025, just as the systems designed to protect survivors are collapsing. Eighty-six per cent of women’s organizations report an increase in gender-based violence in the communities they serve. 62% of organizations report that safe spaces are no longer available or have been significantly reduced. Behind these numbers are devastating consequences. A woman seeking refuge from violence might show up at the door of a shelter that has shut down; a pregnant woman may have to walk for hours to reach a health clinic; or a mother may be denied food for her children. The women and girls left behind first are those with the fewest alternatives: women and girls in remote, conflict-affected and hard-to-reach communities. Nearly two-thirds, or 63 per cent, of organizations have already cut services in those areas. The report warns that the consequences extend far beyond humanitarian response. The dismantling of women’s organizations is not happening in a vacuum but against a global backlash on the rights of women and girls. One in five organizations has already suspended work advancing women’s leadership and gender equality. More than half are already witnessing declining participation of women in community leadership and local decision-making. UN Women is calling for sustained investment in women’s organizations as indispensable first responders, defenders of women’s rights, and the foundation of peace and recovery. “Without immediate action, the organizations that have kept women and girls alive through the world’s worst crises risk becoming another casualty of war”, concluded Calltorp. UN Women works with and invests in women-led organizations as essential partners in humanitarian action – providing funding, technical support, and advocacy to strengthen their leadership, expand access to life-saving services, and advance inclusive, locally led humanitarian responses that meet the needs of women and girls.

Today, that promise remains unfulfilled. In nearly 70% of countries, women face greater barriers to justice than men. Four billion women still live in countries where the law does not fully protect them. Where justice fails, impunity takes hold. Abuse goes unpunished, and perpetrators walk free.
