Maybe a year after the 2014 Gaza war I met a family in Beit Hanoun. The two sons were clambering around in a pit with some sewage at the bottom. It used to be their aunt's house, destroyed by an Israeli shell. They were hauling out chunks of concrete and scraps of metal.
Serving a simple iftar to a Lebanese family of five each night during Ramadan—lentil soup, fattoush, a main dish with chicken—now costs two-and-a-half times the monthly minimum wage. https://t.co/K6hS8SGmt8
Tomorrow is the last day you can apply to come and join the Conflict and Humanitarian advocacy team at Save the Children UK, as an officer or an adviser. I promise it'll never be boring! #charityjobs#aid#jobfairy
An image forever engraved in our collective memory.
From @ManuBrabo, the AP photographer who happened to be in Aleppo that day and took this shot, and who describes Syrians' horror and a grief that goes on to this day.

Just got back from Pemba, Mozambique. The stories I heard from survivors were truly horrific. whole families were slaughtered, decapitated bodies on the streets and thousands have been displaced. Watch my report on @BBCWorld
Immediate investigation needed into an apparent horrific abuse #Houthis committed against mostly Ethiopian migrants. @MwatanaEn documents that #Houthis fired projectiles into detention facility in Sanaa, which caused a fire & unknown number of deaths. https://t.co/fqVwot35Sr
I remember being in Erbil as families fleeing the ISIS advance in Qaraqosh flooded in to a sports centre, unsure if or when they’d ever be able to return to their town. This is lovely to see.
Five years ago ISIS occupied the Christian town of Qaraqosh. Today the pope is coming to town. The atmosphere is jubilant. Thousands have turned out. #iraq#PopeInIraq@TheNationalNews
An old lady sitting in front of burning tires during a demonstration in #Beirut tonight. The Lebanese pound has hit an all-time low today, trading at 10.000/$. #Lebanon sinking further more into a deep crisis.
What a smile - this is Ahmed Rageeb, who is 9. In many years of travels he's one of the most extraordinary children I have ever met. When teachers don't turn up at his primary school in #Yemen, Ahmed stands in and takes the class. Ahmed has been blind from birth.
STATEMENT: Save the Children is horrified about reports of up to 450 schoolgirls who have been abducted from a school in Zamfara state. Over the past months, hundreds of children in #Nigeria have gone through the trauma of being abducted by armed groups.
