Globally, more than 2.3 billion people lack access to soap and water for handwashing at home.

On this #GlobalHandwashingDay, we @IFRC reaffirm our commitment to advocating for universal access to hand hygiene and ensuring healthier communities worldwide.

Today is #WorldToiletDay.

DYK that 3.5 billion people are still living without safely managed sanitation?

The world has set a hugely ambitious goal: by 2030, toilets for all.

5 privileged thrill-seeking men pay £200k to view a sunken boat; navy, air force, coast guard, state air guard rescue, front page news

500 desperate safety-seeking people pay everything they have to risk a sunken boat; 100 kids dead, no rescue, news silent

Humanity is wrecked.

.@borisjohnson making disgusting speech trying to cover up cruel one-way ticket to Rwanda refugee plan as "quid pro-quo for generosity" and an "innovative approach...made possible by Brexit freedoms"
He’s multiplying human misery & degrading our country's values. It's just vile

[ICRC @ICRC]

We’re a neutral, impartial, humanitarian organization.

This simply means:

➡️ We take action, never sides
➡️ We focus on the needs
➡️ We help everyone, wherever they are

This is how we reach people with lifesaving aid, whatever side of the frontline they're on.

[ICRC @ICRC]

Last week, our President was in Ukraine. This week, he was in Russia.

Under the Geneva Conventions, we're mandated to speak with all sides of a conflict. This helps:

👉 Advocate respect for rules of war
👉 Call for the protection of civilians
👉 Ensure aid reaches those in need

@OxfordLordMayor Lord Mayor of Oxford: Did you really fly to Grenoble for a Climate conference? I find that hard to understand. What about going by train?

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

NEW YEMEN DATA: the numbers are terrifying. 19M people won't have enough to eat & 5X more people could face famine in the coming months. 500K+ malnourished children are at risk of dying right now.

We’re out of money. More ration cuts are coming. It is a countdown to catastrophe.

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

The double standard towards refugees from Ukraine compared to previous outflows of people from Syria and elsewhere “is a huge worry,” says @UNReliefChief Martin Griffiths. “There is a shocking different set of priorities for people.”

[Mark Cutts @MarkCutts]

Today marks 11 years since the war in #Syria started. 11 years of loss and unimaginable suffering. 11 years of violence and destruction which have caused the biggest displacement crisis of the 21st century.

Don’t forget #Syria

Beyond Ukraine: Eight more humanitarian disasters that demand your attention: https://t.co/yoRq3ZKWqj (@newhumanitarian)

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

£5.99 for just one LFT.

In a pandemic that’s already disproportionally culled the vulnerable & poor, @10DowningStreet just skewed the odds of dying ever more steeply in favour of the rich & strong.

This is anti-public health.

It’s grotesquely selfish.

UPDATE: Rich countries representing just 14% of the world’s population have bought up OVER HALF of all #COVID19 vaccines so far.

Billions of people in the poorest countries could miss out on a #PeoplesVaccine.
