Without urgent help thousands of refugees and migrants in Bosnia could die this winter. I speak to @BBCScotNine about the people I met there and what @BritishRedCross believes needs to be done to change the situation for them and others across Europe. https://t.co/7FvxIevfFd

[The Nine @BBCScotNine]

Bosnia is a key route into the EU for migrants but thousands are at risk of freezing this winter due to inadequate accommodation. @freya_carr from the British Red Cross spoke to #TheNine about the situation.

[Plan International UK @PlanUK]

We are horrified by reports that aid is once again being stopped from getting into Gaza.

Gaza remains in the grip of a catastrophic hunger crisis. Without an influx of humanitarian aid thousands more children and their families could die.

13-year-old Gabriel Clark is raising money for Save The Children’s Emergency Fund, to support children globally by raffling a handmade wooden ‘Hope Bowl’

[Nick Offerman @Nick_Offerman]

I love this story - a young woodworker turning bowls as a vessel for empathy. Hats off to #TheHopeBowl !
Donate below, just a coin or two is better than none 🤸🏽‍♂️🇬🇧 🌳

Read this thread. This is a project that deserves to succeed. Sometimes the worst of times bring out the best in human nature.

A wee🧵about a boy, a bowl and a year gone by.
Feel free to RT.

You may recall that a year ago my son Gabriel 12yrs raised, with your incredible support & prolific RT-ing, over £250,000 for @savechildrenuk with his #BowlforUkraine.

In so doing you changed his little life. 1/13

@NandosUK I was incorrectly charged twice in your Borough restaurant last night. Please can you help me get a refund!?

[Freya Carr @freya_carr]

@wizzair No, your 'Live Chat' is a robot and I've tried speaking to it countless times and I go round in circles - same when I try to call. Please can I speak to an actual person?! I've been almost £1,000 out of pocket for 5 months because of your cancellation.

[Freya Carr @freya_carr]

@wizzair I submitted a claim for a cancelled flight in June and on 7th September was told the compensation would be in my account within 7 days. It's now over 6 weeks later and I'm still waiting. I have sent countless emails without a single response. PLEASE HELP!

[Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk]

More than half of all children under 5 in #Somalia – 1.8 million – are facing acute malnutrition.

On #WorldFoodDay, we're releasing this photo series from our ambassador @MisanHarriman who recently visited the region to raise awareness of the devastating #HungerCrisis. 1/2

[Freya Carr @freya_carr]

@TravelodgeUK I submitted a refund request via your online form a week ago and haven't heard anything back. I can't find a direct email anywhere online. Please can you help!?

[Freya Carr @freya_carr]

@wizzair Hi, my flight to Gatwick from Chania was cancelled on Friday and you couldn't fit me on another flight until this morning. Please can you urgently let me know how to claim back the money I have had to spend on hotels/food etc? Chatbot not helpful!

[Freya Carr @freya_carr]

We met people like Elena and her daughter Viktoria. They hope to go to Germany so Viktoria can receive treatment for a joint condition. Thanks to donations to @savechildrenuk @decappeal, families like Elena's can get some rest & safely plan their journeys. https://t.co/HmNeZo2olg

Thanks to @isobeljourno & @KirstyOConnor_ for their @PA exclusives on Save the Children's refugee centre in Iasi, Romania. Here, Ukrainian refugees can stay for as long as they need, consider their next steps and receive food, cash and emotional support. https://t.co/UZtG6P3NHI

[Freya Carr @freya_carr]

These pets are providing some much needed fun and comfort to Ukrainian refugees at this transit centre in Romania. Today I've met 5 cats and a dog. Last week the centre was also home to a rabbit and a snake!

[Freya Carr @freya_carr]

Bonya the cat giving out lots of cuddles to Ukrainian refugees staying at the Save the Children centre in Iasi, Romania 💙💛.

@pennysims Wow this is a bloody amazing thing to do, Penny ❤️Hope all 4 of you are resting up and recovering well xxx
