A devastating account of just one day in the life of a pregnant Palestinian woman in Gaza. Three of her children were already killed by an Israeli airstrike. She still lives in the ruins of their home. https://t.co/YCHRlM44lx
In #Somalia, access to #healthcare can be the difference between life & death. @caresom is providing vital supplies & services to save lives, but the need is overwhelming. More support is needed to reach countless families who are in dire need cc @CARE@CAREGlobal@careintuk
New research from @careintuk reveals UK aid spending on gender equality has fallen year on year since 2019, now just half of pre-pandemic spend – despite increasing attacks on women’s rights worldwide. The government needs to change this @CommonsIDC : https://t.co/DmAAS9mBtz
One reason for such sabotage: Governments fear the international stigma and domestic political blowback from being unable to perform one of their most basic duties – feeding their own people 4/5
"The NCGQ must be ambitious, public and grant based, easy in access, and gender responsive. The floating figures of $200/300 bn are a joke; they don't reflect the need of local communities in developing countries, and scientific estimates project NCQG at $1.3 tn" says @y_achoki
WHERE ARE THE WOMEN? Women leaders are vastly outnumbered #COP29Baku – as usual. Only 8 of the 78 world leaders at #COP29Baku are women. They lead on the front lines of climate crises, yet they’re not represented at the decision-making tables.

“As an aid worker, travelling anywhere in Gaza is a huge risk. Nowhere is safe.”
Saaed is the Emergency Programmes Coordinator for DEC charity @careintuk in Gaza. He is living through the same loss, fear and displacement as the people he is trying to help.
DEC charities and their local partners are doing everything they can to deliver lifesaving aid in some of the most challenging circumstances. Whatever you can give to support their work will make a difference.

Today, our NRC colleague lost nearly her entire extended family in an Israeli airstrike on a crowded apartment building in Beit Lahia, northern #Gaza. This unimaginable tragedy demands the urgent need for the protection of civilians.

CARE is devastated by the deaths of two of our colleagues from our valued partner organisation, @Juzoor, in Gaza - Dr. Ahmad Al-Najar and Ms. Laila Jneid, who were both killed by Israeli airstrikes.
Aid workers and civilians are NOT a target. We call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and for the UK Government to end all arms transfers to Israel.

What political news do people *actually* see on their phones during an election?
With @RR_research we recorded the phone screens of six voters for three days, then played back the recordings. What we learned was... bracing for anyone in news/politics.

What does #home mean to you?
This #WorldRefugeeDay, we asked friends, colleagues, #refugees & displaced people from around the world this question and received some powerful answers.

two ipcc authors wrote a paper for kids that was peer-reviewed by some teenagers and the level of frankness is something a lot of climate scientists could learn from
Hi guys, we need volunteers in Belfast to help a group of Sudanese doctors who are working to package and ship some really needed medical equipment and aid for colon cancer patients in Sudan.
If you can spare 2-3 hrs in Belfast pls dm me to coordinate!

Resharing @HelenPankhurst recent article on the need for more women MPs:
'there is still a window of opportunity – some vacancies remain and there will likely be resignations of several MPs in safe seats much closer to the election.'

Amidst sexism & discrimination, #women in #Vanuatu are taking an active role in the country’s climate response while breaking down #gender barriers. Yet lack of funding is a significant hurdle to progress.

@CARE said any offensive in Rafah would place "1.5 million men, women, and children sheltering [there] at unacceptable risk."
💬"There is simply nowhere safe to go in Gaza... Civilians in Rafah, already exhausted and starving, must be protected."
From floods in East Africa to droughts in the South, #ClimateChange is hitting #Africa hard.
