Malnutrition holds back millions of children from reaching their potential. We’re calling on @AnnelieseDodds to help build them a brighter future by partnering with governments in the global south to invest in #NutritionForAll at #N4GParis. Read more: bit.ly/3WijO4v

On #UHCDay, after a lukewarm COP28, its more important than ever that the health community rallies together to put UHC at the heart of climate action and funding. Read my blog here:

In #Gaza, hospitals are being attacked on a daily basis. There is no safe place for the millions of people who are been displaced by the violence. Hospitals cannot be battlegrounds, and children cannot be targets. We need a #CeasefireNOW. #StopTheWarOnChildren

🚨TOMORROW - Emergency rally for Palestine 🇵🇸 On Wednesday MPs will likely vote on whether to call for a ceasefire in Palestine! Join us at 5PM at Parliament on Wednesday 15 November to demand MPs vote for a #CeasefireNow Before this, write to your MP: palestinecampaign.eaction.online/gazaMPaction

.@WHO has managed to get in touch with health professionals at the Al-Shifa hospital in #Gaza. The situation is dire and perilous. It's been 3 days without electricity, without water and with very poor internet which has severely impacted our ability to provide essential care. The constant gunfire and bombings in the area have exacerbated the already critical circumstances. Tragically, the number of patient fatalities has increased significantly. Regrettably, the hospital is not functioning as a hospital anymore. The world cannot stand silent while hospitals, which should be safe havens, are transformed into scenes of death, devastation, and despair. Ceasefire. NOW.

Imagine calling people marching peacefully, for an end to killing, "hate marchers" Calling the far-right, assembling for hate, "counter-protestors" All under a government that says that to use Armistice Day to call for an armistice is "disrespectful" Imagine #March4Palestine

Yesterday, the minister declined to answer when I asked if the Home Secretary speaks for the government when she: - condemns the planned marches this weekend as “hate marches” - says that rough sleeping is a “lifestyle choice” 1/3

So brilliant to hear @samipanini talk about the transformative powers of remittance. "These remittance are acts of love".

Independent human rights experts: “We remain convinced that the Palestinian people are at grave risk of genocide. The time for action is now. Israel’s allies also bear responsibility and must act now to prevent its disastrous course of action.” ohchr.org/en/latest

Schools are #NotATarget. Hospitals are #NotATarget. Children are #NotATarget. Civilians are #NotATarget. Humanitarians are #NotATarget.

@jmoreiradasilva on the humanitarian-development-peace nexus: "Let's put coordination in the fields, not in New York." We should work together.

Fascinating discussion on building resilience in fragile conflict-affected settings at the #WorldHealthSummit. This particular piece of wisdom needs to be heard by all: recovery starts in the first days of war. We need to build back better and smarter.

Disgusting to see heads of state actively advocate against a ceasefire. We plead w/ world leaders & actors on the ground to prioritize the preservation of human life above all else. Anything less will forever be a stain on our collective conscience. #Gaza savethechildren.net/news/urgent-pl…

Damaris Kahuri, Support Director at @ACFinKenya joining the government, partners and community members in signing commitments to promote, protect and support breastfeeding during #WBW2023KE. #WorldBreastfeedingWeek2023 #EnablingBreastfeedingAtWork

Family-friendly policies matter! @PregnantScrewed's latest research revealed a concerning finding: 90% of breastfeeding moms surveyed in the UK (over 24,000 parents) had to use toilets or lacked suitable spaces to breastfeed. This needs to change urgently! rb.gy/7bjkz

Interested in hearing what role men can play in supporting breastfeeding? Check out the Global Breastfeeding Collective's brief on Breastfeeding and Gender Equality. globalbreastfeedingcollective.org/media/336/file…

1.26 billion men live in countries with no paternity leave! This has to change to unlock the full potential of breastfeeding. #WBW2023 globalbreastfeedingcollective.org/lets-make-brea…
