There is something uneasy in the Los Angeles air this afternoon, some unnatural stillness, some tension. What it means is that tonight a Santa Ana will begin to blow, a hot wind from the northeast whining down through the Cajon and San Gorgonio Passes, blowing up sand storms out along Route 66, drying the hills and the nerves to flash point. For a few days now we will see smoke back in the canyons, and hear sirens in the night.

13 trucks have arrived safely into #Mekelle. More trucks & fuel will follow in morning. This is 1st humanitarian convoy to arrive into #Tigray region since last Dec.

Good progress, much more needed - we need daily convoys flowing in safely to meet the needs of 5 million people.

In Panamá today with @WFP_es LAC team. Quite impressed to see a cargo drone in action, lots of potential for accessing people in the furthest areas with urgent needs in an efficient and cost effective way!

My first aid gig ever was mass vaccination during a meningitis epidemic in northern Ethiopia. Our team of 6 volunteers, along with local health team members, vaccinated 350,000 people in 6 months sometimes up to 6,000 people/day. What is the problem?

YES! The proposal to allow formerly incarcerated people who trained in prison fire camps to be able to get their criminal records expunged so they can get jobs as firefighters has made it out of the state senate. Now it’s in the hands of @GavinNewsom.
