INJECT AFGHAN FOOD INTO MY SOUL

[Isabelle Moussard Carlsen, Executive Director ERS @IMoussardC]

Half of the people affected by the crisis in Afghanistan are women & girls, making women aid workers essential to the delivery of life-saving aid.
In line with International Humanitarian Law, all aid workers must be able to work safely & unimpeded.

Iraq's agricultural production has fallen by 40% in 4 years (b/n 2014 & 2018)

Much of this is due to drought & heat. Over the next few decades, the UN projects temperatures in Iraq will rise by 2 degrees. Livestock numbers have crashed.

I got to walk around Cairo writing about its oldest surviving bookstores. In the process, I accidentally made a day-long walking tour that takes you backwards through the city's history.

And because I have no chill, here's the whole tour 👇🏽 [THREAD] https://t.co/usmLDTvvTN
