This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Never has access to accurate, timely data been more important than it is today.

As humanitarian crises become increasingly complex, data is a north star 🌟 that can guide our response.

Thanks to @humdata, more data is being shared, making aid delivery more effective.

[OCHA Centre for Humanitarian Data @humdata]

We are excited to host our first-ever Humanitarian Data Forum in The Hague starting today!

@youneedarobot Unfortunately, Bard cares about countries even though the mighty demos showed us how fluent Bard is in commenting the code in korean.

"Bard isn't currently supported in your country. Stay tuned!"
