Excellent Chatham House event last night. Particularly inspired to hear Sir John Major’s unambiguous message that protecting institutions and the rules based system is the bedrock of democracy.
Am in Chiredzi district today with a UKinZimbabwe 🇬🇧 🇿🇼 team learning with #resilience partners WFP Zimbabwe Plan Int' Zimbabwe & SAFE ‘Toose’. Seeing positive family & community change by combining cash, savings schemes, micro-business development & gender transformation discussions
Can’t wait to see the final results for the ground breaking SAFE programme Jo! Hoping the evidence will result in replication and scale up in other contexts. Thanks to UKinZimbabwe 🇬🇧 🇿🇼 for the partnership.
🚨Conflict & constant displacement in central #Gaza decreases families’ ability to cope and hampers humanitarian operations. Nowhere in Gaza is safe, and conditions remain volatile. 🎥World Food Programme MENAEE regional director Corinne Fleischer explains the situation to BBC News (World).
More than a quarter of people in #Afghanistan are hungry. Thanks to partners like Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office 🇬🇧, WFP is on the front lines, providing Afghan families with the food and nutrition assistance they need. 🆕🔗wfp.org/news/united-ki…
Despite international laws in place to protect them, 2023 was the deadliest year on record for humanitarians. On today's #WorldHumanitarianDay, join UN Humanitarian in demanding protection for aid workers & urge those in power to #ActForHumanity. worldhumanitarianday.org
A second convoy carrying critical World Food Programme food assistance has entered war-torn Sudan through the newly re-opened Adré border, aiming to reach families facing alarming levels of hunger. Safe & sustained flow of humanitarian assistance is crucial to combating famine & saving lives.
🚨There are 2.5 times more people facing the most extreme levels of hunger compared to last year. Arif Husain explains the data from the latest Global Report on Food Crises update. Urgent funding and improved access are critical to prevent further deterioration of the crisis.
Many thanks to Alberto Lidji for giving me the opportunity to talk about the gap between humanitarian needs & available resources on 'Do One Better'. It's never been more urgent to think about doing things differently - acting early, preventing, anticipating and innovating.
