— IOM: In Sub-Saharan Africa alone, 17.3 million internal displacements were recorded in 2025, including 2.9 million linked to disasters. The Regional Responses to Climate Displacement in Sub-Saharan Africa (RE2CLID) Programme was officially launched in Malawi during a high-level meeting in Lilongwe on 15 June 2026. Funded by the European Union and implemented by IOM in partnership with governments and stakeholders across the region, the initiative aims to strengthen preparedness, improve data and forecasting systems, and support solutions that reduce displacement risks before disasters strike.
— The programme will be implemented in close collaboration with national and local authorities, including ministries, government departments, district councils, and traditional leaders. It will also engage regional organizations such as the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the Indian Ocean Commission (IOC), alongside international and civil society partners, to promote coordinated and locally driven responses. Recognizing that climate displacement often extends beyond national borders, the programme places a strong emphasis on regional cooperation.
— According to authorities, the Lebanese Red Crescent and IOM, approximately 40 per cent of the over one million people displaced by conflict have returned to their home areas.
— Authorities report that between 26 June and this morning, hostilities and strikes killed more than 40 civilians and injured over 460 others, including children. Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv regions were among the hardest hit. In Kherson city today, authorities report that two passengers were killed and eight others injured in a drone strike on a public bus. Similar attacks on or near public transport in the Zaporizhzhia region over recent days have also killed and injured civilian passengers. In the region of Sumy, repeated attacks on fuel stations have raised concerns over fuel availability for emergency services, humanitarian operations and civilian transportation. A social service centre supporting older people, people with disabilities and other vulnerable residents was destroyed, and more strikes today caused further civilian casualties.

— OHCHR: He was killed in an armed attack in Cuajinicuilapa, on the Acapulco–Pinotepa Nacional federal highway, Guerrero, on 5 June 2026. The attack reportedly took place hours after Cisneros participated as a speaker in a seminar in Cuajinicuilapa on "Afro-Mexican dissidences in Guerrero: history, justice and rights", a forum dedicated to reflecting on the rights, dignity and recognition of Afro-Mexican persons, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and other gender-diverse (LGBT) persons. Cisneros had also met with members of the UN Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent during their visit to Mexico last month. The experts recalled the important work carried out by Sael Silva Cisneros in support of the rights of Afro-Mexican communities, racial equality, social justice and the opening of more inclusive spaces for persons and communities exposed to multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination.
