#AFGHANISTAN EARTHQUAKE: "The most important thing is that women and girls are bearing the brunt of the crisis, as it always happens, and we need women humanitarian aid workers to be able to access, talk to, and distribute relief items to women and girls." — Dr. @Deepmala_Mahla, CARE Chief Humanitarian Officer

recently visited #CoxsBazar, Bangladesh, home to the world’s biggest refugee camp.

@Deepmala_Mahla, @care's Global Humanitarian Director, discussed the impacts of funding cuts on #Refugees who have fled from their homes & are now receiving only a quarter of the rations needed. As a result, families could soon turn to negative coping mechanisms to survive.

“As Hunger and disease do not go away the moment the guns are silenced,” said @Deepmala_Mahla. “The health infrastructure, sanitation infrastructure, the road infrastructure … for us to take aid from one place to another is complicated. It’s difficult.”

This week the @theIPCinfo published its latest report outlining the current dire situation in Gaza and showing the horrific trajectory for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza in the coming months.

A rapid scale-up of aid is urgently needed in Gaza to prevent further devastation.

October marks the olive harvest in #Gaza & #WestBank—a lifeline for families, deep-rooted connection to the heritage. During my recent visit to #Gaza, I saw trees ready for harvest, yet farmers face violence & restrictions. They deserve #livelihoods,#protection, chance to thrive.
