Food and fertilisers are not under 🇪🇺 sanctions. Russia’s unprovoked war of aggression and blockage of Ukrainian 🇺🇦ports has led to global food insecurity. Team 🇪🇺 has committed EUR 1.6 billion for food security actions in the most affected countries, and in the Horn of Africa.

Very embarrassed about this.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The top EU diplomat, Josep Borrell Fontelles, called Europe "a garden" and the world "a jungle," leading to charges of neocolonialism and racism as the EU tries to drum up support in the developing world. https://t.co/J2Pbg6jYR5

The EU is appalled by the killing of civilians and humanitarian workers in #Ethiopia.

It is unacceptable that warring parties are not adhering to their #IHL obligations. Such killing must stop. #NotATarget @RESCUEorg
