Our worst fears confirmed, it's hard to start this week with anything but grief for the loss of decades of work and trust 💔 Who are we, if not citizens that see our service at home and abroad as inextricably linked? And where does this leave us now?

When people get the health care they need and are protected from the financial burden, lives improve, communities thrive, and economies grow. #FinancialProtection101
Around the world hundreds of health practitioners are calling for the release of Dr. Hussam Abu Sayya.
This is people’s power, non-violent and humanitarian, human-rights driven, against the strongest military force in the region supported by the strongest military force in the world.
Will world leaders listen and act? Will they stop supporting, arming Israel; will they stop turning a blind eye to the extermination of Palestinians in Gaza?
Will they demand the release of Dr. Hussam Abu Sayya?
Earlier this year in Sudan, I bumped into a fierce young woman with an incredible story. She shared it, hoping show how a brutal war has shattered lives.
Today her profile was on page 1 of @nytimes, and across two pages inside, with striking portraits by @ivorprickett.
I think language has ceased to effectively communicate the horror, the illegality, the barbarity, the colossal war crimes, the terror and tragedy of ethnic cleaning, and laying to waste what has been for millennia, a land with people.

This week, the UK Government & 56 Commonwealth countries are meeting at #CHOGM2024.
But the 14.5 million children who have never received a vaccine need action, not words.
The UK government needs to step up: https://t.co/1o9Z3WMYa7

WHO needs sustainable financing: predictable, more flexible and from a broad donor base.
WHO requires US$ 11.1 billion to fund the work for the next 4 years. Member States have set a path to increase assessed contributions that will cover US$ 4
billion of this budget. With the investment round, WHO is looking to secure US$ 7.1 billion through voluntary contributions to fully fund GPW14.
We call all donors and partners to support WHO’s first Investment Round: https://t.co/h9fPRYc7H9

DEC member charities are responding right now in Gaza, Lebanon and the wider region, providing lifesaving food, water, shelter, medicine and so much more. They are ready to act wherever the needs are greatest, but they urgently need more funds to meet the huge levels of need.
🇬🇧In response to civil society campaigning & litigation, the UK government recently imposed a partial ban on arms sales to Israel. However, it only cancelled 30 out of 350 licences, which civil society saw as largely symbolic & insufficient.
