[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

1.7 million people have fled Ukraine, mostly women and children.

The humanitarian response must:

🔵 Take into account women and girls’ unique needs
🔵 Include women in decision-making
🔵 Prioritize protection from gender-based violence

"Kyiv is no longer a whole city," writes @markmackinnon.

The Ukrainian capital, previously the vibrant and graceful home of three million people, has been broken into pieces by the 12-day-old Russian invasion.

Kievites are sending their edible waste to Kyiv Zoo where there is nothing to feed animals with. Among hungry animals are tigers, elephants and penguins. Could you imagine animals as victims of Putin? Now you can!

[Andrew Coyne 🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇪🇲🇩 @acoyne]

My God. How does Putin ever hope to conquer such a people?

9,586 cases in Austria today and a new lockdown is upon us. For someone that has followed all the rules, I'm annoyed that those who have kept living their lives like nothing is going on. I just pray the schools will be kept open. https://t.co/mTxHTxf65M

@JoeBiden The rest of the world can't wait! As a Canadian living in Austria I cannot wait until you and @KamalaHarris take power and bring some sanity back to the US.

[Sarah Roberts @vospernik]

@Karsten1x @JoeBiden Hate to break it to you...Alaska IS in America.

[Sarah Roberts @vospernik]

@CTVToronto Yes. Do it!!!

[Sarah Roberts @vospernik]

@CPHO_Canada @JustinTrudeau - please close the border to Americans. The shit is going to hit the fan there and I need my elderly parents to be safe (who are following all recommendations and staying in) #COVIDー19 #StayTheFHome #CloseTheBorder

[Sarah Roberts @vospernik]

Hard day today. 1st school day with kids at home while trying to still work and keep sane. Then they closed the EU borders to everyone else. No one in or out. Am feeling overwhelmed. #COVIDー19 #canadianinaustria #StayTheFHome #overwhelmed

[Sarah Roberts @vospernik]

Got out for a hike today with the kids. Thankfully in Aitria we can still hike, even if it’s only with those in same household #COVID19 #Austria #canadianinaustria #momof5 #hiking

[Sarah Roberts @vospernik]

More regs today. We can no longer get together & can only go for a walk if we’re with people in our own family. Otherwise we can only leave if we have essential work (healthcare, emergency & essential services, or grocery), need groceries or need to help. #COVIDー19 #austria

[Sarah Roberts @vospernik]

Last day in Austria 🇦🇹 before the stores close. I ran out to get a few LEGO’s for the kids and everything was pretty quiet on the streets in Klagenfurt. #COVIDー19 #canadianinaustria #coronavirus #stuckwith5kids #bunkeringdown

[Sarah Roberts @vospernik]

The days are long. Woke up, yoga, did the shopping, crafts with the kids, lunch, LEGO, more crafts, ran out for some@more last minute shopping and then catching up on #COVIDー19 - it’s going to be a long time while bunkering down.

OFFICIAL ADVICE TO CANADIANS ABROAD:

We recommend that Canadian travellers return to Canada via commercial means while they remain available.

[Sarah Roberts @vospernik]

@torontolife Don’t go. The risk is too great. I’m sure most hotels and airlines are letting people rebook at no extra charge.
