Meeting this morning with representatives of the @GlobalFund. Global Fund has supported Lesotho's fight against HIV, AIDS, and TB. Progress here has been tremendous and the story should be told widely. Still much work to do. UK is one of the primary contributors to the Fund.
I join those calling for a ceasefire in Gaza: killing civilians and bombing hospitals won’t lead to real peace, which is the only true guarantee of safety and security for all Israelis and all Palestinians.
It will bring more war, more destruction, more fear to both, and beyond.
@GlobalFund is in #eSwatini talking to government leaders about the #FightForWhatCounts.
Great conversation about sustainability, transition and how to sustain gains in fighting HIV in the country.
@mozvol Investing in # HIV prevention for adolescents girls and young women can do more than save lives. It builds healthy, equal and and prosperous societies for everyone! Great work and collaboration @mozvol
Making high performing Ag RDTs widely available may not be a game-changer, but it is definitely a milestone in the fight against #COVID19, since it should enable much more effective test-trace-isolate strategies, even in low resource settings
UpLink is launching the COVID Social Justice Challenge, a competition to find ideas and solutions which tackle social inequalities and injustices within the COVID response and recovery.

Thank you to Germany for setting an important precedent in accountability by being the first country to try #ISIS perpetrators for their crimes against #Yazidis. I hope to see similar trials conducted in the rest of Europe, the US, & the rest of the world. https://t.co/5gwuYG1g5z
Bundeskanzlerin #Merkel: “Niemand hört es gerne, aber es ist die Wahrheit: Wir leben nicht in der Endphase der #Pandemie. Wir sind erst am Anfang. Wir müssen noch lange mit diesem #Virus leben.” #Regierungserklärung#Corona
I fully agree with Nicola Sturgeon. We need our political leaders to consult with the public about future plans—managing the lockdown, resuming economic activity, protecting the vulnerable, preventing a second wave, and how we want our society to change. This is called democracy.
$127.9 million for COVID-19 relief.
That is the power and impact of One World: #TogetherAtHome.
Thank you @ladygaga for helping @GlblCtzn create this historic global broadcasting event.
To everyone around the world: Stay strong, stay safe, we will be together in person soon.
The attacks on WHO are acts of violence against an organisation whose ONLY objective is to protect and advance the health and wellbeing of the world’s peoples. It’s time for all of us to stand up and defend WHO. This is a struggle for truth and justice.
Halting funding for the World Health Organization during a world health crisis is as dangerous as it sounds. Their work is slowing the spread of COVID-19 and if that work is stopped no other organization can replace them. The world needs @WHO now more than ever.
