Still waiting for assessments from earthquake affected areas of western Nepal. @NepalRedCross has deployed team, so we'll know more soon.
It appears 10 000 families affected, but could be more. Thinking of them all.
Preparing @IFRC_DREF now to support response.
Bangladesh is facing a dengue outbreak affecting thousands of people.
Teams from @BDRCS1 are conducting awareness campaigns to help contain the outbreak.
The IFRC released emergency funds from @IFRC_DREF to scale up the dengue outbreak response throughout the country.
As dengue cases 🦟🦟continue to rise, Nepal Red Cross volunteers are helping with the government's search and destroy campaign for prevention purposes.

Nuclear weapons have catastrophic humanitarian consequences.
Their use under any circumstances would be unacceptable in humanitarian, moral & legal terms.
We @IFRC advocate for the need for a legally binding commitment to prohibit their use &, in the long term, eliminate them.
Heatwaves are becoming hotter, longer and more frequent. 🥵
Aggravated by climate change, they are among the deadliest weather events in Europe and around the world. But they don't have to be if we prepare for them better. Join us this Heat Action Day.
Let's #BeatTheHeat
#PersonsWithDisabilities — the world’s largest minority — are one of the most excluded groups in our society.
A world of peace, justice, inclusion and respect for #HumanRights is only possible when leaving no one behind.
The difference between 1.5°C & 3°C global warming means vastly different scenarios for the future.
Our survival on this planet hinges on these few degrees.
Addressing the climate crisis & limiting temperature rise is possible, if we #ActNow.
