Around half of all drinking water globally comes from groundwater.
Safely managed sanitation can protect groundwater and in turn the right to drinking water and to a healthy environment.

Recycled water can play such an important part in climate resilience building, yet a multitude of barriers are limiting the potential. This sourcebook helps show pathways forward in MENA #water4climate @cgiar

@ashenafi_meaza Too late. I have lost all the respect I had for you.

[Prof Lyla Mehta @Lylamehta]

The drone strikes on #Mekelle (university/ residential areas) are shocking. Glad the EU has criticised the role of Eritrea. Wish they would explicitly call out the role of Addis Ababa. Any statement or criticism from the @_AfricanUnion on how this will derail the peace process?

Gut-wrenching. Stop bombing our families in #Tigray. #StopWarOnTigeray

[SolomieGher @GherSolomie]

Another drone attack on civilians and on infrastructure in #Mekelle by Ethiopian government. Recently a kindergarten and today Mekelle University. Stop bombing our families. #StopWarOnTigray https://t.co/VyEr052KMN

[GAROWE ONLINE @GaroweOnline]

Before the war renewed, #Tigray leaders wanted basic civilian services restored in the region before peace talks with Abiy Govt began - a request supported by U.S. and EU envoys. Tigray has been without banking and telephone links since #Ethiopian & #Eritrean soldiers pulled out.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Ethiopian and Eritrean forces have sealed off 6 million people systematically for nearly two yrs and now they started another offensive.

This heartbreaking cruelty continues to not be condemned & the suffering continues. Peace is possible, let’s seek it.

Another attack on civilians by Ethiopian government. The trauma that our families in besieged #Tigray are going through is unimaginable. #StopTigrayGenocide

[Kibrom Gebreselassie, MD, FACS, FCS-ECSA @kibrom30]

There was a drone attack in Mekelle City, close to midnight. It has bombed the neighbourhood around Mekelle General Hospital. Casualties are arriving to Ayder Hospital.
