Yorkshire's Christian Aid team celebrating all the fundraising and campaigning action in God's own county 😊

Standing ovation at #EHF2025 for Philippe Lazzarini @UNRWA who shares unspeakable horror faced by people in Gaza. In spite of killing, imprisonment + torture, UNRWA staff continue to deliver healthcare to 50,000 Gazans a day. Imperative to work harder for political solution

[Christian Aid @christian_aid]

🚨We’re calling for a simple but powerful global campaign: #FastForGaza

@sgcjerusalem is leading the initiative—to go hungry for 24h in solidarity with the thousands of innocent civilians at risk of dying from starvation. *Wed 21 May* & every Wed until people get enough food.

2024 has been a year of climate extremes‼

🚨 From record-breaking hurricanes to devastating floods, the most expensive climate disasters of 2024 each caused over $4b in damages.

The impacts of climate change are impossible to ignore & its impacts are escalating.

A #LossAndDamage deal has been struck at #COP28

It is now vital we see the Fund filled with new and additional pledges. Repackaged money will not cut it.

The UK's pledge already fails that test and falls far short of what climate vulnerable people need #MakePollutersPay

[Christian Aid @christian_aid]

Some of our #COP28 delegation joined an interfaith gathering to address climate challenges through an Talanoa dialogue.

Talanoa dialogues are Fijian indigenous peoples' way of solving problems. Fiji, when president of COP23, introduced the concept 👇

As reports of Palestinian fatalities in Gaza alone now total 10,000, and more than 1,400 Israelis have been killed, please join us in prayer 🙏

[Politics.co.uk @Politics_co_uk]

While so many faith leaders and so much of civil society has been able to coalesce around these calls for a ceasefire, it is to our shock that it is a step too far for both the PM and the Leader of the Opposition, writes William Bell of @christian_aid

[Christian Aid @christian_aid]

How many killed is too many?

Only a ceasefire can protect civilians and lead to a just peace for all Palestinians & Israelis

The UK Government must urgently push for an immediate ceasefire in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory

'Without a ceasefire, it's really difficult to imagine how you're actually going to be able to address the humanitarian need in any meaningful sense.'

Good to see the @christian_aid #UnitedByHope reusable cups making an appearance at the Church of England General Synod @JustinWelby @CottrellStephen 👏

[Christian Aid @christian_aid]

Thousands of South Sudanese people are still leaving #Sudan because of the continuing violent power struggle that erupted two months ago. James Wani, #ChristianAid Country Director, has just returned from #Renk on the border between the two neighbouring countries.

Lovely to see all the kids swooping in for an after school bun, supporting Christian Aid Week Cafe by Pool in Wharfedale Methodists and St Wilfrids @Pool_Wharfedale

[Disasters Emergency Committee @decappeal]

A @christian_aid warehouse in Ternopil, #Ukraine has been destroyed in a missile attack.

Food packages funded by the DEC #UkraineAppeal were due to be distributed for Ukraine Mother's Day.

Humanitarian aid workers, vehicles or buildings should never be a target.
