Evidence shows how displacement can create conditions that increase the risk of gender-based violence. In a recent UNFPA study in Gaza, women described #overcrowding, #little privacy and #limited #access to clean #water, #food and functioning #toilets.

In #Gaza, nearly 1 in 4 households are now headed by #women, with many facing greater challenges in accessing adequate shelter, food and cash support. This reminds us that #displacement is not gender-neutral.

Recent data reports state; “On the morning of 26 August 2026, a catastrophic flash flood surged down the #Bhote Koshi River. This is one of the most severe disaster events to affect #Nepal's northern border and mid-hill/Tarai river corridors in recent years.

📊 Introducing #Humanitarian #Data in #Focus

As one of its first initiatives, the #AEGIS #GEAHR Technical Unit is launching Humanitarian Data in Focus, a new weekly series designed to make humanitarian evidence easier to understand, engage with, and use.

Humanitarian crises change quickly. New risks emerge, existing inequalities deepen, and the needs of affected populations can shift as a crisis develops. Effective responses depend on understanding these changes as they happen and translating that evidence into appropriate action.
