@WVSomalia @WorldVision @njerimoshe Children are suffering in Somalia. The situation is so heartbreaking. Thank you @njerimoshe for your wonderful work.

As you lead your people, remember that goals, strategies, and plans are important but not sufficient. Every member of your team will experience personal pain and struggles at some time. Be a leader marked by deep empathy and generosity.

We urgently need to continue delivering life-saving assistance to children and their families in #Tigray, Ethiopia – but we can only do this if peace is secured. I pray this will happen without delay. https://t.co/ibnqzRyczu

We're devastated by today's attack in Idlib which killed four children, and two staff from our World Vision partner agency. These colleagues were delivering life-saving assistance to families already struggling with trauma and loss when they were killed. https://t.co/KvTEGtKBRB

Special day yesterday: we “undeclared” @WorldVision’s emergency response to Ebola in DRC. I am on lots of calls every day about #locusts, #hunger and #refugees so this one was a nice change. So grateful for #hiddenheroes in DRC & donors @USAID @eu_echo Now we look to the future!

We share the World Food Program's concerns and continue to beg governments to heed warnings and take action now to prevent a catastrophe for the world's most vulnerable. If having enough food for the world's hungry was a worry before COVID-19, it's even more of a fear now."

We’ve reached more than 5 million people already as part of our #COVID19 response – our valued partnerships with @Refugees, @FilippoGrandi and #faithpartners help to make this happen, @andrewmorley0

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

Faith-based organizations provide key support to people exposed to #COVID19 including refugees. Thanks @ACTAlliance @CatholicRelief @HIASrefugees @IRWorldwide @JesuitRefugee @LuthWorldRelief @religions4peace @sgi_info @TzuChiUSA @Oikoumene @WorldVision for a very rich discussion.

[Isabel @IsabelCSGomes]

Reminded today that in @worldvision we are part of a movement of people who share common values of justice, love and hope – great call today with @andrewmorley0 @FilippoGrandi @GillianTriggs and valued #faithpartners to tackle effects of #COVID19 on children

[Andrew Morley @andrewmorley0]

Our three #COVID19 programming priorities are 1. promoting preventative measures; 2. supporting health systems and workers and 3. supporting children made vulnerable by #coronavirus We plan to reach 11 million people in our 17-priority country response.

Today is #WorldHumanitarianDay, a day that honors the work and service of humanitarian workers who dedicate their lives to helping others, and sometimes risk their own lives as they do it. To the tens of thousands who serve: Thank you!!
