These children’s drawings are from art therapy sessions for young people caught in last year’s earthquakes in Türkiye & Syria; a reminder of the tragic human impact of the disaster, and the crucial humanitarian work of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement which we support.
My notes of last night briefing on the situation in #gazastrip. @PalestineRCS appears to be the only actor that remains active.
Aid is NOT reaching beyond Deir Al Balah according to PRCS. This is a highly concerning humanitarian leaving hundreds of thousands of people behind.

You can’t believe how kind the British are.
Every morning, a van pulls up outside your house in Coventry.
A friendly man brings you a freshly-baked flatbread to eat.
It’s just for you,not anyone else in your family.
Every afternoon he comes back to make sure you’ve eaten it.

It seems #CycloneMocha landfall will be around #Maungdaw township in northern areas of #Rakhine state in #Myanmar

Speaking from Aleppo, Syria: For this earthquake to occur in a war-shattered region is nothing short of a catastrophe.
My heart goes out to everyone who has lost their loved ones. Parents who have lost children; children who have lost parents.
