I'm deeply concerned about the isolation of southern African countries due to new #COVID19 travel restrictions. The people of Africa cannot be blamed for the immorally low level of vaccinations available & should not be penalized for sharing health information with the world.

This #Christmas we think of those who are excluded. Conflicts, COVID, the climate emergency, many refugee crises and the world’s inequalities are worsening their plight. Inclusion is the best protection for those whom the global crises leave behind. At Christmas, we include.

📌 Half of the population face hunger 📌 9 million displaced from homes 📌 Millions out of school 📌 Rights of women & girls under threat Today, United Nations + partners launched plans to help 28 million people in Afghanistan and the region - solidarity and support is needed now.

It is a dark day for world peace. There are no winners in war, but countless lives will be torn apart. People have started to flee their homes to seek safety. UNHCR is stepping up operations in Ukraine and neighbouring countries. Full statement below👇🏻 unhcr.org/news/press/202…

The number of people who have fled Ukraine to neighbouring countries has reached 677,000. The United Nations humanitarian agencies and their NGO partners have launched an appeal to donors for $ 1.7 billion to support affected people inside Ukraine, and refugees from Ukraine in the region.

In just seven days we have witnessed the exodus of one million refugees from Ukraine to neighbouring countries. For many millions more, inside Ukraine, it’s time for guns to fall silent, so that life-saving humanitarian assistance can be provided.
