Loved meeting @GADNetSL & so many young people at National Girls Summit!
Great to hear from the girls & young women of Salone, who know what they want and have the ideas and drive to get there!

Kenema Hospital is a lifeline for the District.
Yesterday, the Development Director and High Commissioner visited the Blood Bank and Special Care Baby Unit. They discussed the challenges of maintaining good supplies in the blood bank, and the necessity of a constant power supply. They were touched by the dedication of the nurses, who look after their young patients with such care. Tenki to all who showed the BHC team around.

[UK in Sierra Leone 🇬🇧🇸🇱 @UKinSierraLeone]

We are forever inspired by the leadership and resilience we see from girls across Salone. That’s why we are working with @Purposeful_org to provide support and grants to girl-led movements to end violence!

This month we travelled to Bo & Makeni to meet all 19 #MOVEInitiative partners. We heard about the amazing work each is doing in their communities, despite the challenges, and talked about how as a movement we can support each other.

To support Afghan citizens ahead of winter, the UK is allocating a further £10.5m to WFP, IOM and UNFPA. This will continue to provide vital food assistance, aid to vulnerable families and support to those affected by recent earthquakes in Herat.

[OCHA Ukraine @OCHA_Ukraine]

⛑️Our colleagues from @RedCrossUkraine have just published their 2023-2025 One Plan.

With the Red Cross Movement partners, they will provide humanitarian aid to 12 million people impacted by the war.

$1.5 billion is urgently required to make this happen: https://t.co/3VfCsY5E2c

[OCHA Ukraine @OCHA_Ukraine]

1.4 million homes have been damaged or destroyed in Ukraine because of the war.
We, along with the authorities & local groups, are in a race against time to ensure critical repairs happen before the next winter so people can be safe.

Sheltering again and again, night after night 😥. This is ordinary nightlife in #Kyiv nowadays...

[Dame Melinda Simmons @MelSimmonsFCDO]

After a difficult night Team British Embassy Kyiv @UKinUkraine got up and out to take part in #GlobalMile with @FCDOGovUK colleagues all over the world!

[Andrew Mitchell @AndrewmitchMP]

Appalled by brutal Russian attacks on Ukrainian Red Cross warehouses in Odessa and a mobile hospital in Mykolaiv.

Harming the most vulnerable and brave humanitarian workers supporting them breaches international law. It should be condemned by everyone everywhere. #NotATarget
