DEHIOWITA, SRI LANKA — In response to the recent national disaster, the International Human Rights Commission (IHRC Corporation) has taken a leading role in coordinating large-scale humanitarian assistance across affected regions of Sri Lanka, working in close partnership with local community leaders and volunteer networks.

On 3 December 2025, the International Human Rights Commission joined forces with the Embilipitiya “Senehasa” Benevolent Forum and local community representatives to deliver essential humanitarian relief to displaced families in Dehiowita and Thalduwa. The mission resulted in the distribution of dry rations and emergency supplies valued at over LKR 2.5 million, directly supporting families impacted by the disaster.

The Power of Collective Humanity

The humanitarian operation was coordinated by Mr. Pradeep Kumara Rathnayake, IHRC Volunteer Coordinator, who underlined that the success of the mission was rooted in collective civic responsibility rather than individual effort.

“The youth and residents of Embilipitiya worked together as one family, treating every affected person as their own brother or sister. Their selfless dedication formed the backbone of this mission.” Mr. Rathnayake stated.

Local volunteers played a critical role in logistics, distribution, and on-the-ground coordination, ensuring that aid reached those most in need efficiently and with dignity.

A United Front for Future Relief Efforts

Addressing volunteers and community partners, Mr. Rathnayake reaffirmed that the IHRC Special Monitoring Mission will remain fully engaged in future emergency responses, standing alongside local communities during times of national crisis.

The International Human Rights Commission reiterated its commitment to safeguarding human dignity, solidarity, and humanitarian principles, emphasizing that community-led cooperation remains central to effective disaster response and recovery.

Over 42,000 Affected as Humanitarian Crisis Deepens in Nigeria’s North-East

Adamawa State, Nigeria – 5 August 2025

Disaster Assessment Reveals Scale of Tragedy

The International Human Rights Commission (IHRC) Corporation Nigeria has released a comprehensive disaster report following severe flooding across six Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Adamawa State: Yola South, Yola North, Numan, Demsa, Girei, and Lamurde. The crisis has left 6,732 households affected, 42,118 individuals impacted, 27 confirmed fatalities, 74 injured, and over 15,000 displaced, now seeking refuge in IDP camps and host communities.

The findings, based on a Rapid Needs and Risk Assessment conducted on 30 July 2025 by the IHRC Special Monitoring Mission, in collaboration with Adamawa State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), DAWOS Foundation, AB Haske Foundation, and local authorities, document widespread destruction of homes, farmland, sanitation, and increasing risks of gender-based violence, disease outbreaks, and food insecurity.

IHRC Humanitarian Response and Partnerships

IHRC deployed emergency teams to deliver urgent relief, including:

• Distribution of Non-Food Items (NFIs) to over 850 households: blankets, dignity kits, mosquito nets, utensils,
• Essential medications for malaria, typhoid, and infections, in partnership with local health agencies,
• Psychosocial and protection support – including group therapy for women, children, and the elderly.

“The spirit of cooperation and urgency shown by Adamawa State officials is deeply commendable. Their partnership with IHRC ensured that thousands of affected citizens received not just attention but real assistance. This is a model worthy of national replication.”
— Comrade Elijah Vitus Echendu, National Coordinator, IHRC Special Monitoring Mission Nigeria

Leadership Commendations and Strategic Appeal

His Excellency Ambassador Dr. Duru Hezekiah, Head of IHRC Diplomatic Mission in Nigeria, described the flood disaster as a part of a growing national emergency. He urged strategic, rights-based, and united responses:

“What we see in Adamawa is not isolated. Floods are recurring and threatening multiple states across Nigeria. This demands a coordinated, strategic, and rights-based national response.”

Ambassador Duru also:

• Commended the IHRC North-East team for their exemplary work,
• Called for deeper institutional cooperation between government and humanitarian actors,
• Urged joint flood mitigation and early warning systems, and investment in recovery and preparedness.

“Let this be a turning point—where the government and IHRC work shoulder-to-shoulder to prevent avoidable suffering and build a Nigeria where disaster response is swift, coordinated, and dignified.”

Key Humanitarian and Recovery Priorities Identified

IHRC highlights the following urgent needs:

• Food assistance for displaced families,
• Restoration of clean water and sanitation infrastructure,
• Provision of safe, durable shelters,
• Sustained psychosocial support,
• Livelihood restoration and income generation.

Additional recommendations:

• Improved access and logistics for aid agencies in hard-to-reach regions,
• Long-term investment in flood mitigation, climate awareness, and disaster preparedness.

A Call for Systemic Reform and Shared Accountability

The 2025 Adamawa flood disaster is a stark reminder of the fragility of communities amid climate change. Through coordinated assessments and field interventions, IHRC is committed to advocacy and direct support for affected populations.

IHRC now calls on federal and state governments, international donors, and civil society to seize this moment for systemic humanitarian reform, resilience building, and shared accountability.

Tel Aviv / Gaza – 26.5.2025

The International Human Rights Commission IHRC Corporation has launched its urgent humanitarian operation in Gaza, with the first convoy of food aid successfully crossing into the region. This milestone marks the beginning of a dedicated response to one of the most severe humanitarian crises in recent memory.

Millions of civilians in Gaza are facing acute food insecurity, displacement, and ongoing hardship. IHRC’s intervention is guided by the conviction that access to food is a fundamental human right, and that human dignity must be defended—without political bias or influence.

“Today, we are not just delivering food—we are delivering dignity. Our presence in Gaza is about compassion and our responsibility to humanity.”

— Prof. h.c. Rafał Marcin Wasik, IHRC Secretary-General, Peacemaker

Our team is working day and night to deliver aid that includes basic food supplies, distributed directly to the most vulnerable—families, children, and the elderly—who are suffering the most. The IHRC operates with complete neutrality, independence, and transparency, and is not affiliated with any government or political body. We rely on our own global network of volunteers, diplomats, and supporters to fulfill our mission.

Why Gaza Needs Us Now

• Over 2.1 million people face food insecurity
• 95% of residents lack access to safe drinking water
• 43% of hospitals are non-functional
• Thousands of children suffer from malnutrition and trauma

This mission is part of IHRC’s wider commitment to serve where suffering exists, uphold human dignity, and provide direct aid regardless of race, nationality, or belief.

Join us in our global call for compassion, action, and dignity for all.
