Disasters, exacerbated by climate change and armed conflict, cause significant human and economic losses, disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities, particularly women and children. While emergency response addresses immediate needs and supports early recovery, long-term resilience requires a proactive approach. Protecting people from disasters is a fundamental responsibility, highlighting the need for preparedness, resilience-building, and swift humanitarian action. Strengthening community capacities through awareness campaigns and community-based preparedness initiatives is essential in mitigating disaster impacts.
Humanitarian assistance plays a crucial role in ensuring the timely delivery of aid and facilitating the recovery of affected populations. Additionally, upholding refugee rights is vital, with a focus on fostering self-reliance through livelihood support and capacity-building initiatives. Ensuring access to fundamental rights such as life, health, and security is imperative in creating a safer, more resilient world where communities can withstand and recover from disasters effectively.
