We are devastated by the ongoing conflict in #Sudan.

Violence is widespread with innocent civilians frequently caught in the crossfire. ShelterBox remains committed to providing emergency shelter and aid to those who cross the border into #Chad for safety.

‼️Jeffrey Sachs: The West Has Repeatedly Invaded Russia.

⚡️The US and Germany had said to Gorbachev and to Yeltsin, we won't expand NATO one inch eastward.

⚡️Like always with the United States, they
lied, they cheated, and they started the expansion.

⚡️I know about in detail, which is get NATO all the way to surround Russia, because that was the plan of Zbigniew Brzezinski and Dick Cheney and others going right back to the 1990s.

📑Russia, throughout its history, has always believed
in keeping some safety from the west,
which has repeatedly invaded Russia.
And after the end of the Soviet Union in 1991,
the US and Germany had said to Gorbachev and to
Yeltsin, we won't expand NATO one inch eastward.
But then, like always with the United States, they
lied, they cheated, and they started the expansion.
And then the Russians.
I was observing this all along.
The first expansions, which were in central Europe, didn't come too close to Russia.
And they said, ugh, we don't like that. You cheated.
You told us no, but okay, that's Hungary.
Poland and Czech Republic.
That was 1999 under Clinton.
But then it just kept coming and kept coming and kept coming.
And they said, with rising decibels and rising fervour, stop coming closer.
And their ultimate red line has been consistent.
It is Ukraine and Georgia. Why?
Well, it goes back Piers to the British Empire, to 1853, to 1856, actually to Lord Palmerston.
He had an idea, surround Russia in the Black Sea.
Render Russia's fleet in the Black Sea in Sevastopol, which was there in 1853, just like it's there in 2024, render it essentially inoperable.
Control the Dardanelles.
This is a long story.
And then Russia is a second or third rate power.
And President Putin is responding to what has been a
british imperial attempt for 175 years and a us attempt
since 1991, basically to surround Russia with NATO.
And what Putin has been saying is, dont do that.
Stop, leave Ukraine as a kind of buffer zone.
And Ukraine was perfectly happy with that, and
public opinion was perfectly happy with that, and
they didnt want to join NATO.
And in 2009, they elected Viktor Yanukovych, who promised them neutrality, which was the promise that Ukraine itself had made in declaring its independence, that they would be permanently a neutral country because they're in between west and east, they're in between Europe and western Europe or the European Union and Russia.
So they wanted just, okay, we'll be neutral.
But then the United States did team up to overthrow Yanukovych in February 2014.
And that's when this war started.
That's when Russia stopped saying, well, we'll lease a base in Crimea.
Rather, we'll take back Crimea.
We don't want it to fall into NATO hands, just like the Tsar did not want Sevastopol to fall into Palmerston's hands.
So this is basically a long, long story.
I think the rest is negotiable.
I basically think either the US and Europe dont understand what theyre doing, which is not impossible, or theyre still on what has been a 30 year neocon agenda, which I know about in detail, which is get NATO all the way to surround Russia, because that was the plan of Zbigniew Brzezinski and Dick Cheney and others going right back to the 1990s.
They still want to do it and they think they can still accomplish this.

🚚 Trucks loaded with ShelterBox #aid are at the #Rafah border crossing, ready to bring much needed #EmergencyShelter to people in #Gaza.

They are among a convoy of up to 1,400 waiting to be allowed in. Timings are unpredictable, but we will continue to update once our aid has crossed into Gaza.

Visit https://t.co/ejvoWX1bNy to see how you can support people affected by the ongoing crisis.

[ShelterBox @ShelterBox]

1.5 million people are crowded into #Rafah with no place else to go.

With the conflict escalating to agreed safe areas, we are continuing to join the call for an immediate humanitarian #ceasefire.

A powerful look into the #MoroccoEarthquake that hit on Friday night.

#ShelterBox is sending an assessment team to understand how many people have lost their homes and if our emergency shelter aid is what people need. https://t.co/ir1i12JcKR

⚠️ Yesterday marked 100 days since fighting broke out in #Sudan. In that time:

3.3 million people have been displaced.
742,000 have fled outside the country.

#ShelterBox is providing emergency shelter to people entering Chad. Visit https://t.co/pDVVVD5q8Q to learn more

[ShelterBox @ShelterBox]

A mix of #conflict, severe #drought and devastating #floods has forced more than 1 million people in #Somalia to flee their homes in just 130 days - the fastest #displacement on record for the country.

Well done to all those who participated and thank you for supporting ShelterBox! The money you raised will help us reach more families with emergency shelter and disaster and conflict 💚

⚠️🌀 #ShelterBox is sending an assessment team to #Malawi to understand how we can support families with emergency shelter and other essential items after Tropical #CycloneFreddy left over half a million people with nowhere to live.

✈️ #ShelterBox tents are being loaded onto a flight and will be soon making their way to people in the affected areas of #Türkiye and #Syria.

Thank you to @TurkishAirlines for the free of charge flight, and to our amazing @Rotary contacts for helping to coordinate.

[ShelterBox @ShelterBox]

🚨 Our teams are working around the clock to move aid into the affected regions of Syria and Türkiye.

This will be one of the most challenging humanitarian responses in the last decade, but together, we can save lives.

#TürkiyeEarthquake

[ShelterBox @ShelterBox]

It's hard to comprehend how large and far-reaching the #TürkiyeSryiaEarthquakes were.

To help understand the sheer magnitude of the quakes, here's what it would have looked like had they hit the UK instead.

[ShelterBox @ShelterBox]

Our response team recently met with @Rotary in Istanbul to discuss logistical challenges.

Travel restrictions & damaged roads is making it difficult to access affected areas in Türkiye & Syria. We know working with #Rotary will be vital to reach as many people as we can.

[ShelterBox @ShelterBox]

⚠️ The urgent need in #Türkiye and #Syria is immense.

ShelterBox has a team in Istanbul developing partnerships and working on how we can get supplies to the affected regions, including northern Syria.

Please, donate today if you can. https://t.co/rkxUkigXqh

#TürkiyeEarthquake

[ShelterBox @ShelterBox]

When disasters like the #TürkiyeEarthquake strike, having a safe place to call home gives people a place to start again.

We provide families with #EmergencyShelter, giving them a place to heal.

💚 Please, will you join our dear friend Dame Judi Dench in supporting ShelterBox?

[ShelterBox @ShelterBox]

Another #earthquake has struck the same area in Turkey.

We’re gathering information from all possible sources to see how big the need for emergency shelter will be, and if we are well placed to help.

[ShelterBox @ShelterBox]

The region where ShelterBox is working in #Syria is home to millions of refugees. It's also one of the hardest hit areas following yesterday's #TurkeyEarthquake.

We are preparing to send an #EmergencyResponse team to find out what support is needed. https://t.co/A5hJiuXIBH
