Today, we mourn photojournalist Mariam Abu Dagga, killed with others in an Israeli strike on a hospital.

We were honored to worked with her.

We honor all who risk their lives to expose #Gaza's harsh reality to the world.

Here, she reflects on one of her photos. Listen to her.

[FAO in Emergencies @FAOemergencies]

In times of crisis, agriculture is a lifeline.

@FAO's work can't stop.

With humanitarian funding shrinking, investing in agriculture is more urgent than ever to
🔸save lives,
🔸protect livelihoods, and
🔸fight hunger.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I am sorry to see that despite years of talk, gender inequality is on full display at the #UNGA General Debate.

Less than 10% of speakers this week are women.

This is unacceptable – especially when we know gender equality delivers for peace, climate action and much more.

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

Dear world leaders,

We look to you to uphold your obligations.

International humanitarian law, established to protect humanitarian workers and the people they serve, must be respected.

As you gather at the #UNGA this week, remember to #ActForHumanity.

[Alexandra Spinelli @alexspinelli]

Leaders are ignoring and breaking international laws while civilians and aid workers pay with their lives.

Leaders need to be held accountable. They need to #ActForHumanity.

What an honour to lead on this campaign at @RooftopVideo with @UNOCHA for #WorldHumanitarianDay

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

19 August is #WorldHumanitarianDay.

Civilians and aid workers in conflict zones are being killed, injured, attacked and abducted despite international laws in place to protect them.

It's time to demand accountability - urge those in power to #ActForHumanity.

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

How much more do those in power need to see before they act? It's time they #ActForHumanity!

International humanitarian law is being violated, and civilians and aid workers are paying the price.

This #WorldHumanitarianDay, @muzoonrakan1 added her voice. Add yours and share.

In 2012, Adidas secured the title sponsorship of the Olympics for $150 million and thought they would overshadow Nike.

However, Nike used a brilliant strategy to outperform Adidas and dominate the Olympics.

Here’s the full story:

.@WHO and partners managed to reach Al-Shifa — once the backbone of the health system in #Gaza, which is now an empty shell with human graves after the latest siege. The team witnessed at least five dead bodies during the mission.

Most of the buildings in the hospital complex are extensively destroyed and the majority of assets damaged or reduced to ashes. Even restoring minimal functionality in the short term seems implausible. An in-depth assessment by a team of engineers is needed to determine if the remaining buildings are safe for future use.

WHO and partners’ recent effort to support the revival of basic services at Al-Shifa are now lost, and people are once again deprived of access to lifesaving health care services.

As famine looms, disease outbreaks spread, and trauma injuries increase, WHO urges immediate:
- protection of remaining health facilities in Gaza
- protection of health and humanitarian workers
- additional land crossings to allow access into and across north Gaza
- functional deconfliction mechanism
- unimpeded access of humanitarian aid into and across the Gaza Strip
- ceasefire.

Was great to work with @WHO to create their campaign on #AntimicrobialResistance!

Such an important topic for us all - WHY? ⬇️

#AMR allows dangerous bacteria to become resistant to life saving medicines, making certain diseases untreatable.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Save the antibiotics for when you actually need them. 💊
#AntimicrobialResistance (AMR) can be prevented by avoiding the misuse of antimicrobial medicines.

In Antarctica, I saw for myself & heard from scientists how ice loss is accelerating in dangerous ways.

Climate change is wreaking havoc. Fossil fuels are the main culprit.

At #COP28, leaders must act to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C & end the fossil fuel age.

In Shenzhen, China, under the backdrop of the starry sky and using the lake's surface as a mirror, thousands of drones floated toward the lake like "fireflies," forming various spectacular formations in celebration of this year's #WorldFoodDay theme: Water is life, water is food.

Almost 9 out of 10 smokers start smoking by the age of 18 years.
Keeping schools tobacco and nicotine free can help prevent this!

We call on schools, teachers, parents and young people to raise their voices and help create tobacco and nicotine free schools https://t.co/GB53o4CCz3

Some very cool work from @RooftopVideo for @WHO for #WorldBreastfeedingWeek!

Mums are already superheroes but they can't be in 2 places at once. They need more support from their employers when it comes to breastfeeding 👇

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Unless one can generate a protective field, moms need safe, comfortable spaces where they can breastfeed or express milk at work. To support breastfeeding moms, employers can provide options like:

🕙Flexible work schedules
🧸On-site childcare
🛜 Teleworking
⌛️Part-time work
🤱🏻Letting mothers bring their babies to work

Social media managers are not “gurus.”
They don’t do “magic.”
They don’t “play on Facebook.”
They don’t “do social.”
They are marketing, PR, and media relations professionals—among many other roles.
The language you use to describe their profession matters.
