Homes, roads, bridges, hydropower facilities and other critical infrastructure have been badly damaged.

Nepal Red Cross teams are on the ground providing initial assistance, including distributing drinking water and emergency supplies.

Today on World Humanitarian Day and in-line with this year's theme, "Strengthening Global Solidarity and Empowering Local Communities", we recognise the work of humanitarian delegates and frontline aid workers.

Specialist nurse and Australian Red Cross delegate Sophie Weston recently deployed to the Democratic Republic of Congo, to help local teams care for patients injured by conflict and violence. When an Ebola outbreak in the region escalated, Sophie and her team were forced to adapt, balancing the treatment of war-wounded patients with the need to protect them from the spread of the disease.

“For many of our patients, we were meeting them on one of the worst days of their lives. Being able to provide care, ease some of their pain and support them through that moment is incredibly meaningful," says Sophie.

In July, the AirTrunk Legal Team rolled up their sleeves to help create Trauma Teddies, bringing comfort and reassurance to children and community members facing emergencies, hospital visits and challenging times. 🧸❤️

Trauma Teddies provide a source of comfort and emotional support for children and adults navigating challenging situations, from emergencies, hospital visits, and periods of isolation and loneliness.

Thanks to their support, more people in our communities will have access to a simple but powerful source of care when they need it most.
