Very sad. World Health Organization (WHO) confirms that a 10-month-old baby in #Gaza is now paralysed due to #Polio. The first case in more than 25 years. Polio will not make the distinction between Palestinian & Israeli children. Delaying a humanitarian pause will increase the risk of spread among

Kudos to all who worked on this Food and Agriculture Organization Atlas of tsetse flies in Africa. This is a big step forward in the fight against animal #trypanosomosis. Access to high-quality data is vital to transform our agrifood systems, achieving #SDGs and #4Betters. #OneHealth

🙏Thanks for great contribution and efforts of the team. Food and Agriculture Organization has launched a crucial continental atlas detailing the distribution of tsetse flies in Africa, a key resource in tackling the deadly livestock disease that costs farmers billions. 👍Kudos to the team behind this Food and Agriculture Organization
