This morning, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the Philippines, leaving at least 15 people dead and injuring 129 others.

Our hearts are with every family in Mindanao and across the broader region, waking up to fear and loss this morning.

CARE Philippines is coordinating with local governments and authorities to assess needs and stand ready to support communities as the situation develops.

“We know from these experiences that every time disasters occur, the hardest hit are women and girls. CARE is committed to ensuring that assistance reaches the right people, at the right time with the right resources.” - Reiza S. Dejito, Country Director, CARE Philippines

What's happening in Gaza right now?

Increased infections among women and girls due to a lack of sanitary pads. Pregnant women collapsing before reaching the health clinic. Children waiting in long lines to collect and carry heavy water cans for their families. Repeated miscarriages.

This cannot be normalised.

What is the situation in right now following the recent escalation?

In South Lebanon, entire villages have been devastated. Families are fleeing their homes with only the clothes on their backs.

People are experiencing intense levels of trauma from bombardment and drones. Many women and girls are also experiencing serious impacts on their health, including multiple menstrual cycles or none at all due to extreme stress.

The team at CARE International in Lebanon are meeting people displaced across Lebanon, delivering food, water, hygiene kits, and psychological first aid through our trained psychologists.

We are meeting needs where they are — in shelters, on the streets, and in hard-to-reach communities across the country.

Periods don’t hold people back — stigma does.

This World Menstrual Hygiene Day, we’re challenging attitudes and calling for better access, education, and dignity for everyone who menstruates around the world.

Because no one should feel ashamed of something so natural which over 2 billion people experience each month.

The WHO has declared the new Ebola outbreak in the as a public health emergency.

So far, there are more than 600 suspected cases with approximately 139 deaths reported as of 20 May 2026, however the spread is almost certainly more than current numbers reflect.

As caregivers, women are at a heightened risk of exposure and the combination of their needs already going unmet along with the spread of this highly infectious disease, could be devastating.

CARE DRC is already mobilising a response, targeting 500,000 to 1,000,000 people in affected and high-risk areas.

If you’d like to donate to CARE to support our work, including in emergencies like this, all donations would be gratefully received: https://donate.careinternational.org.uk/page/please-donate 🧡
