@__TomCollins Hi, I'm in Save the Children’s media team & I wanted to see in particular if DRC is on your radar as we’re working on trip to cover the crisis that I wanted to see if might be of interest. Follow back if of interest and I’ll DM with more, thanks.

[Dan Stewart @real_good_dan]

@Kate_M_Proctor @savechildrenuk So delighted! Really looking forward to you joining the team.

Spent the day talking to kids in this remote village in northern #Afghanistan. Their only source of clean water is brought in on trucks by @save_children. They have no electricity, no toilets, no schools, no health facilities, no jobs and no money for food.

A thick layer of snow & slush in #Kabul this morning, with a long and bitter winter to come ❄️.

Millions of children in #Afghanistan are battling to stay warm and survive in the 🌍’s biggest hunger crisis, families burning rubbish for heat. #SavetheChildren scaling up rapidly.

[Robbie McIntyre @RobbieMcIntyre1]

Glad to have the chance to go on @5_News to discuss the importance of a scale up in the international response to the Ebola outbreak in the DRC and Uganda, and the importance of communicating with affected communities.

There's a growing gulf between pre-school children from poorer families and their classmates in far too many places. But this analysis shows it's far from inevitable - there's no gap at all in hackney and it's coming down fast in Derby.

'Early learning gap widens' for poor 5-year-olds in half of England: "A lack of support for childcare quality in England is still letting poverty dictate children’s chances", says @savechildrenuk's @StevenHMcIntosh, via @tes https://t.co/RQRqCw25ae

Does this look like a “legitimate target” to you? 29 Children killed yesterday by Saudi airstrike as they sat on their school bus. Enough is enough! #YemenCantWait

[George Graham @Georgewgraham]

Is this what they meant when they said "Global Britain"? What signal does this send to the despots of the world? We'll turn a blind eye to anything if you pay us enough? https://t.co/vcv8vG9UpG

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

The IHR Emergency Committee convened by @DrTedros on #Ebola in #DRC met today. It was the view of the committee that the conditions for a Public Health Emergency of International Concern have not currently been met.

West #Mosul has been flattened. Never seen anything like it. The fight against #ISIS has left terrible scars, not just on the city but its people too, particularly the #children @savechildrenuk @SaveUKNews

"I don’t know whether writing this is a good idea. I’m not sure whether anything I say will ever be heard." Read this extraordinary testimony from a medic inside besieged #Douma, #EasternGhouta. #DontBombChildren. Via @Telegraph https://t.co/oULIexUbwo

[Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk]

As the UK continues to #Welcome_Saudi_Crown_Prince, we have one message for him: #DontBombChildren.
Join us and stand up for Yemen’s children > https://t.co/dlqT0AYOr6

[James Denselow @jamesdenselow]

Not a ceasefire and barely a pause. One of our partners on the ground in #EasternGhouta said that they had registered 32 airstrikes between 12 and 2pm today
