Following up on the 2024 H2H Fund activation in response to escalating conflict in Myanmar, which supported critical services such as independent analysis, operational guidance, and verification of information flows, the H2H Network has now expanded its support following the devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake near Mandalay in March 2025.

Striking at a time when the global humanitarian system is weakened, the earthquake has compounded an already severe crisis, with millions affected and access to aid restricted by conflict and damaged infrastructure. In this context, technical support services are vital to ensure humanitarian efforts are coordinated, data-driven, inclusive, and accountable.

In response to the consequences of the conflict escalation in Lebanon, the H2H Network is funding eight H2H Members to provide essential services to strengthen the humanitarian response in the country. These services address critical needs in the aid delivery, including LGBTIQA+ inclusion, rapid needs assessments, damage mapping, and security management. The initiatives also target communication resilience, diaspora engagement, real-time data accessibility, and community-driven feedback to ensure an effective, inclusive, and accountable response.
