Hi @EamonRyan @MichealMartinTD @LeoVaradkar

It's time to address the elephant in the room at #COP28  - i.e. fossil fuels & the corrupt influence of fossil fuel companies

Please work for a fast & fair phase out of fossil fuels at COP28 & at home

Ireland's largest ever deployment of humanitarian stocks has arrived in Türkiye.

Over 100 tonnes of aid, including 9,000 blankets and 700 tents, will be distributed by our partners @Concern and @GOAL_Global as part of Ireland's €10 million response to the disaster.

David Regan, @CeoConcern, at the Turkey/Syria border. Huge numbers of people on both sides have been affected by the #EarthquakeTurkeySyria. @concern is here and our emergency response is in full swing.

[Kieran McConville @kjmcconville]

During our Gorta Mór, the Turkish nation sent 5 ships loaded with food for Irish people. Today, we are proud to reciprocate, as communities in #Turkey struggle to recover from this terrible #earthquake. Thanks to @Irish_Aid, @GOAL_Global and @UNmigration for making this happen.💚

“Football is just one example of where you can help traumatised children feel some bit of normality," Concern's Ros O'Sullivan in Turkey where he is part of the emergency humanitarian response.

The rescue effort here in Adiyaman is turning into a recovery mission, as hopes fade of finding survivors of the #earthquakeinturkey. Meanwhile the survivors, homeless and cold, await help. @Concern is here. Support our response: @concernwwus @ConcernNI @ConcernUK @ConcernKorea

[RTÉ News at One @RTENewsAtOne]

Country director for @Concern has described the situation in the city of Sanliurfa Province in south eastern Turkey as "quite chaotic" as rescue efforts continue.

"Thousands of people won't be able to go back to their homes so they will need medium to long term shelter."

Just leaving Haiti after an amazing visit to the @Concern team here. 2022 was a very tough year, but our teams stayed and delivered a cholera response, protection and support survivors of gender based violence and food and nutrition responses. Proud to see Concern at its best

@concernwwus @Concern @FondazioneCESVI @Welthungerhilfe Well done Misha! Stay safe over there

[Dominic MacSorley @aidwkr]

This humanitarian hub in #Ukraine️ is supporting thousands of families who have been displaced by war and are now reliant on the generosity of others. Thanks to an amazing response from @Concern supporters, my colleagues are supplying the hub with food and other essentials.

[Kieran McConville @kjmcconville]

Inside #Ukraine, millions of people are living in communities far from their own home. That's where @Concern is working.

[Kieran McConville @kjmcconville]

Behind headlines from #Ukraine are so many human stories of suffering... and survival. I met Katya at a @Concern-supported humanitarian centre. Her home city is in the news today and it breaks her heart. She cried as she spoke, but says she knows she is "lucky" to have escaped.💔
