As the UK hosts the Global Food Security Summit, @RESCUEorg calls on world leaders to endorse a new and simplified approach to treating malnourished children that could save millions of lives.
Up to 2 million children under five die every year from acute malnutrition.

The #UNSC’s Gaza resolution must be turned into action on the ground. Our latest release: https://t.co/w78h1zBeMc

Earlier today I spoke to BBC News about the need to protect civilians in Shifa hospital #Gaza
Hospitals should be a sanctuary, not a battleground.
#CeasefireNOW

[Save the Children Europe @SaveChildrenEU]

Last night giant projections illuminated @EU_Commission sending a powerful message to the leaders of the EU for #Israel-#Gaza #CeasefireNOW.

The international community, led by bodies like the EU, must mobilise to bring about peace to save millions of lives.

[Imogen Sudbery @ImogenSudbery]

What more will it take for the EU and the international community to call clearly for a #CeasefireNOW ?

[Medical Aid for Palestinians @MedicalAidPal]

🚨Babies in the neonatal intensive care unit at Shifa Hospital, which MAP has supported over many years, are beginning to die from lack of oxygen. More will die soon unless the power supply is restored.

MAP’s CEO @melanie_ward responds:⬇️🧵(1/6)

[IRC - International Rescue Committee @RESCUEorg]

The reports of fighting around Gaza’s hospitals - including the main Al Shifa hospital - as well as the continued bombing of densely populated areas are a threat to our common humanity. Civilians must be protected.

[Peter Ricketts @LordRickettsP]

A shift in Macron’s position. In his speech at the Paris conference the previous day he urged humanitarian pauses while working for a ceasefire. Now he goes further: a ‘humanitarian ceasefire’, and a stop to Israeli bombing. That is more than the brief pauses US has been seeking

*This* is what hate looks like

[Nick Lowles @lowles_nick]

.⁦@hopenothate⁩ The moment far right thugs broke through (very thin) police lines. How was this allowed to happen? When people call out hate marches - this is it!

[David Miliband @DMiliband]

As the UN Security Council meets on Gaza, a thread on the profound humanitarian crisis in Gaza; why civilians need a humanitarian ceasefire now; and what help for civilians dictates it must include: ⬇️

[Melanie Ward MP @melanie_ward]

Our latest statement on Shifa hospital:
“Power has gone out, and staff are having to hand ventilate critically ill patients to keep them alive… Babies in the neonatal intensive care unit which MAP has supported over many years are beginning to die from lack of oxygen.”
#Gaza 💔

Afghans returning from Pakistan are in urgent need of nutrition and mental health support.

The IRC is scaling up its emergency response to meet the growing needs as up to 200,000 people arrive in Afghanistan.

[International Rescue Committee - EU @RESCUE_EU]

Italy’s new migration agreement with Albania “part of a concerning trend undermining right to seek asylum - focused on preventing people reaching Europe rather than welcoming them with dignity & respect.”

Thank you @harlemdesir @ImogenSudbery & @RESCUEorg team for your visit and excellent discussion. I have great respect for the humanitarian work your organisation carries out in Nigeria under dedicated @BabaTOjay leadership

[Imogen Sudbery @ImogenSudbery]

Fulatari IDP camp, Monguno,where just 3 doctors serve 300,000 people. In Nigeria, IRC is piloting innovative, simplified approaches to malnutrition treatment to have maximum impact&help close the wasting gap, but with 23m food insecure, now is not the time for donors to step back

[Imogen Sudbery @ImogenSudbery]

Deeply humbled to visit our programmes in Monguno&Maiduguri, NE Nigeria, meeting incredible teams who work tirelessly to reach as many people as possible in a highly volatile security context. Their dedication gives people back not only essential services, but agency and hope.

[IRC - International Rescue Committee @RESCUEorg]

Following the work of IRC assessment teams on the ground, and commencement of aid flows from Egypt to Gaza, the IRC is initiating a response to the humanitarian crisis arising from the current conflict.
