3 years of war. Millions still displaced. @SpesUkraine and @caritasukraine continue to provide food, shelter, and medical care. The crisis is far from over. Light a candle as a symbol of unity and strength - pray and share #Candles4Ukraine https://t.co/UrjpVSUSJy

Thoughts are with all those in Congo affected by the escalation of this conflict.

[Caritas Aotearoa New Zealand @CaritasNZ]

Conflict in 🇨🇩 means millions are now living in fear. Our partner on the ground reports: markets closed, hospitals saturated, vulnerable people with limited access to food & water. We stand in solidarity with those who are suffering & are ready to offer support.

🌍 2024 broke records for extreme weather– heatwaves, droughts, storms, & floods killed thousands & displacing millions. World Weather Attribution & @ClimateCentral show these were intensified by human-induced climate change.

We stand with our teams on the ground in Gaza & welcome the news of a ceasefire & hostage release deal. We pray that all sides fulfil their commitments to the agreement, that humanitarian aid gets quickly to those suffering, & that one day peace blossoms in the Holy Land.

Our #PNG partners are responding to this emergency and at least 250 displaced families are in need of urgent assistance, with a tragic death toll estimated at 178. "No food, no clothes, no houses...only people are alive"

#Peace: a 🧵. In 1985 the Baha’i governing body addressed a letter to the world: “For the first time in history it is possible for everyone to view the entire planet, with all its myriad diversified peoples, in one perspective. World peace is not only possible but inevitable.”

“The sea was already as high as the coconut tree. We dropped everything and jumped in the car. As we drove off, the clouds darkened.” Ma’ata, 10, from Kanokupolu Village in Tonga.

An estimated 85,000 people, including 36,500 children, have been affected by the tsunami.

Chat with @BBCWorld yesterday. I know most news are focusing on the devastation & aid coming in & my point is to give credit to #Tonga & Tongans who all sprung into action to help each other & rebuild - cannot underestimate their will & resilience in face of crisis #TongaStrong

[Nina Tu'i @Tui_nina]

We were able to talk with family today, all are safe and well, have been busy with the clean up the last few days.
