🛑 There is no such thing as a natural disaster. Disasters are indicators of development failure – not acts of nature. Hazard × exposure × vulnerability = disaster risk. Risk can be reduced by tackling exposure & vulnerability & building resilience. ➡️ ow.ly/Pghy50YSBtW

@CopernicusEMS Great report and worrying!

@paulrock68 Hi Paul, the map shows European Union countries only. In the article and in the report you can find the map with fires in all countries monitored by EFFIS (not just EU): joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/jrc-news-and-u…

Colleagues in the attached Map there is no evidence of any burnt areas in the UK. Here in Ireland and identified in the map there is Wild fire activity.

@CopernicusEMS Thanks for the clarification

8000 thermal blankets donated by Ireland are being distributed to displaced families in Lebanon. This is part of a partnership between Ireland, @eu_echo and @UNHCRLebanon.

@eircare hi Eir. Supply gone again. Waited three months last time for a fix, disgraceful service

Happy Spring Equinox Eve 🇮🇪 Tomorrow Morning, March 20th, and for the following few days, the rising sun will shine through the entrance of Grianan Of Aileach in Donegal, literally cutting the monument in half. A Spectacle Of Celestial Worship 🗿

@openeir hi. Once again without supply for a week after it only been restored after three months. Information from you is atrocious. Would not recommend EIR to anyone. Service really poor

Wishing the Irish in Ireland and around the world a Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Ukraine deeply appreciates Ireland’s significant support at the political, economic, and humanitarian level, as well as the shelter your country has given to thousands of Ukrainians. May peace and plenty bless your world With a joy that long endures And may all life’s passing seasons Bring the best to you and yours.

Open Letter to Viktor Orbán from former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko Viktor, look at this photo. We are standing side by side at a time when the future of our region seemed shared, clear, and bright. Back then, we both believed that freedom was not just a word, but the greatest gift worth fighting for. I remember you differently. I remember a leader who understood the price of dignity and knew what liberation from imperial oppression meant. Today, I look at your actions and ask myself: where did that Viktor go? How did it happen that a man who witnessed the birth of a free Hungary now plays along with forces that want to destroy the freedom of a neighbor? Ukraine today is bleeding for the very same values we once discussed across the negotiating table. We are defending not only our own land — we are defending the peace of your country as well, and of all Europe. Politics is not only about numbers, profit, or gas. Above all, it is about values. When you choose the side of the aggressor, you betray not only Ukraine — you betray the memory of your own people, who know what Soviet tanks on the streets of Budapest look like. Viktor, stop and remember who you once were. History is a harsh judge. It does not forgive those who remain silent or help evil in times of great trials. It is not too late to return to the light — to true European brotherhood, where honor matters more than questionable political deals. I urge you to look truth in the eye. Be the leader the world once respected — the one who knew that freedom is the only path.
