Our team is working with partners in #Vermont to provide immediate assistance and establish a base for volunteers' arrival. These communities have come together in the last week to support one another in this devastating disaster. Donate or volunteer https://t.co/p2EymqwJzX
Tsunamis are rare events but can be extremely deadly.
Science and international cooperation must be at the heart of our efforts to reduce the risk from all disaster-related ocean hazards.
#TsunamiDay
The highest tsunami wave ever recorded could have easily crashed over the Eiffel Tower ๐๐
Luckily, it broke in the middle of Alaska, where hardly anyone lived.
Early warning and early action allow people to #GetToHighGround, saving lives.

#TsunamiDay
According to @UNDRR, there is a 100% chance of a tsunami of at least 1 meter occurring in the Mediterranean in the next 30-50 years. ๐ฎ
This #TsunamiDay ๐, let's remember the importance of early warning and information systems, which can protect and save our lives.
โ ๏ธ WARNING โ ๏ธ
In the next 30 years, the risk of a tsunami hitting major cities on or near the Mediterranean Sea including Marseille, Alexandria and Istanbul, is almost 100%!

Do you know what to do if #Tsunami would happen? #GetToHighGround as fast as possible! #TsunamiDay. Thank you @UNDRR for all your initiatives to prepare coastal communities to save lives. ๐
When a tsunami strikes, people have minutes to react and #GetToHighGround. On #TsunamiDay, we launched a campaign inviting coastal communities to walk alongside tsunami evacuation routes. Watch our first run in Mauritius

#Tsunamis ๐ are the deadliest type of major natural hazard in terms of the proportion of victims killed.
In the past 100yrs, they have claimed more lives than any other natural hazard. Be aware of tsunami risk and prepared to #GetToHighGround.

โก๏ธ Putin rejected Pope Francisโ call for Mariupol humanitarian corridors three times.
Pope Francis has tried to convince Vladimir Putin to allow a humanitarian corridor from Mariupol, but the Kremlin claimed โit cannot guarantee security,โ Italian newspaper Il Messaggero writes.
โก๏ธ UN is ready to participate in the evacuation of civilians from Azovstal in occupied Mariupol.
In Kyiv, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that โintensive discussionsโ were underway on the involvement of the UN and the Red Cross in the evacuation process.
โก๏ธ Russia claims to have deported over a million Ukrainians to its territories since Feb. 24.
183,168 of those allegedly deported to Russia are children, reads the statement posted on Russiaโs Defense Ministry website.
Woman, girls, boys and man are raped & tortured โฆ The real numbers are hugely higher as these numbers below are from areas which were liberated and from those who survived. One of the many reasons why we have to continue rescues from russia occupied territories & hot spots.
โก๏ธIn the first two weeks of April, the Ukrainian ombudsman received 400 reports of rape committed by Russian soldiers.
Ombudsman Lyudmyla Denisova told Suspilne the reports were mostly coming from the temporary occupied territories or recently liberated areas.
I hear from so many friends that they canโt bare the pain of seeing the horrors in #Ukraine & that they feel hopeless as so much of this is hard to find solutions for. But @aplusk is so right! โWe have to stare pain down the barrel & envelop it with love.โ We canโt turn away.๐
The minute we allow the war in Ukraine to become background noise we lose. We must have the nerve to continue to stare pain down the barrel and envelop it with love. Our compassion has power. Donโt look away.
I want to share the story of Aliona and Mikhalina, a mother and daughter who were evacuated from Irpin. The girls, making their way under fire through streets. My team @SaveukraineUs met the family. About how it happened - watching in a video.

During the last week, the volunteers of โSave Ukraineโ evacuated over 4500 residents of dangerous zones. Overall, we managed to assist 33 000 adults and children in their attempts to leave. We are grateful to our team and partners who help to organize the evacuation.
