[Bond @bondngo]

“Bond is concerned that we will see #UKaid reduced to 0.5% - the lowest the budget will have been in 17 years… It’s wrong to cut spending from the very programmes that help prevent people from fleeing their homes in the first place” @romilly_bond #LabConf24

[Bond @bondngo]

#UKaid spending may hit a 17-year low, INGOs warn, unless the UK government maintain spending levels at 0.58% in October's budget and map out an urgent return to 0.7%. Coverage in the BBC via @BBCJLandale https://t.co/E0ubgJIUlw

[Yasmine Sherif @YasmineSherif1]

When I went to school in Sweden in the 1970’s, religion was my favorite subject.

We were taught all five world religions, as a means of learning about different cultures, faiths and tolerance.

All five major faiths (Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism), as well as many indigenous faiths, share the Golden Rule and a rich history.

Why are we going backwards in the 21st Century? Where do the ignorance and intolerance come from?

Who benefit from these divisions? Someone got to be responsible.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Every year, I express my best wishes for #EidAlFitr to the Muslim community around the world.

My heart is broken knowing that in Gaza, Sudan and many other places - because of conflict and hunger - so many Muslims will not be able to celebrate properly.

"Developed countries must show how they will double adaptation finance to $40 billion a year by 2025 as promised, and clarify how they deliver on the $100 billion, as promised."

[Anwaar ul Haq Kakar @anwaar_kakar]

At the Climate Ambition Summit 2023 at @UN, I cited ayah 14 of Surah Younas: ثُـمَّ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ خَلَآئِفَ فِى الْاَرْضِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِـمْ لِنَنْظُـرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُوْنَ, emphasizing the Islamic teachings and guidance to act responsibly in all facets of life.

#LibyaFloods

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

The scale of the #LibyaFloods is shocking.

We are launching a flash appeal for US$71.4 million to swiftly assist 250,000 people.

Getting lifesaving supplies to people and preventing a secondary health crisis is essential.
