Children in #Afghanistan are homeless, scared and in need of urgent assistance after flash floods killed at least 200 people in #Baghlan. Our emergency response team includes a ‘clinic on wheels’ with health and child protection experts. @ArshadSave @scafghanistan
I don’t want tax cuts. I want the ambulance to arrive. I want good schools, public transport and town centres. I want investment in jobs, education and people. An extra tenner a week is no good to me when society is falling to bits.
Great news - Home Office has overturned their decision & the Afghan youth orchestra will now be coming to UK and playing their women’s day concert at @southbankcentre then Bham,, Liverpool & Manchester. . Pls go see them & show your support for Afghan women & girls 🙏
Unbelievably the British Home Office has denied visas to the 47 young afghan musicians due to fly tomorrow from Portugal for their 4 city Breaking the Silence tour to raise awareness of the plight of Afghan women and girls https://t.co/Rk1s4Ap644
The problem is not people being uneducated.
The problem is that people are educated just enough to believe what they have been taught, and not educated enough to question anything from what they have been taught
Our hearts are shattered over the loss of so much innocent life.
It pains us to the core how this is all carried out in the name of Jewish people.
We want peace. We want to live in harmony. Like our grandparents did for centuries.
May GD uplift the broken, heal the injured & finally bring upon peace to His world.

Too much down bad stuff on here so my confession is that I love my partner. The best thing for me that they are the first person I see in the morning and the last person I see before I fall asleep.
@AmadorBatten MANY years ago I worked quicky mart. We grilled hotdogs. Were supposed to rotate every few hours, throw the old ones away. I put them in a bag, sat them beside the dumpster. They were never wasted. Friend worked at chicken quicky next door. She did the same. we were Warriors!
Since 2013, @MSF teams assisted with 332,341 child deliveries in #Afghanistan. That is almost the entire population of Mazar-e-Sharif (without urban agglomeration), the country’s fourth largest city. Thanks to our incredible midwives, gynecologists and other female medical staff!
Balkh has the largest number of women-owned and operated businesses in all of Afghanistan. Taliban are effectively destroying what little entrepreneurship that survived.
I condemn today’s assault on Brazil’s democratic institutions.
The will of the Brazilian people and the country’s institutions must be respected.
I am confident that it will be so. Brazil is a great democratic country.
Last month, BBC reported that GOSH, a research hospital in the UK, base edited the genome of a 12-year-old girl, Alyssa, suffering from leukemia. She had failed dozens of therapies and had no more options. Seven months later, she is cancer- free. Not many investors know about it.
Education is the acquisition of knowledge, while intelligence is the ability to use that knowledge to think and reason. One can be highly educated but not necessarily intelligent, and vice versa.
Just received a message from a female university professor in Afghanistan. She told me that the Taliban just announced that all of the women run bakeries will be shut down. I didn't know they were still open. These bakeries employ so many women, especially widows. Let them work!
21 years ago I was humbled by the Afghan women writers I met who risked their lives to continue writing under the Taliban. Now the Taliban are back & once again some incredibly brave Afghan women are refusing to stay silent - pls share their stories

Since she was a little girl, men have been making “jokes” about wanting to rape Greta Thunberg. These “jokes” are rape culture. Men use sexual violence as a threat and a punchline when women and girls do things they don’t like.
5y old Sarah in #Gaza was paralyzed from the waist down in a home bombing in May, 2021. I visit her family every trip to see how we can help. Here this beautiful child shows off some of her physical therapy skills. The courage and strength of these kids inspires me 🇵🇸✌️☮️
