"The moment we asked them what the journey was like, two of them broke down in tears" CARE Emergency Team Leader Valentina Mirza shared with @usatoday some of the incredibly difficult experiences she has been listening to at the Ukraine-Romania border. bit.ly/368Y9Vd
Last night just as I was out of time on talking with lyse doucet, I asked Lyse quickly about the golden dome that was behind her in the evening light. Her answer really moved me - and it seems I’m not the only one.

"Our future is very dark.." the educated Afghan women hoping the world won't forget them..and that Amina J Mohammed made progress in her visit to #Afghanistan..she does too. w/ @sanjayganguly@_rachaelthorn
Grateful for insights and views by the SG of CARE (care.org) Sofia Sprechmann Sineiro after her visit together with Tom Fletcher to Afghanistan, where CARE is our key NGO humanitarian implementing partner in assisting most vulnerable. We will continue to stand by the women of Afghanistan.
Thank you Raks Thai Foundation for your wonderful support to CARE International appeal for Turkiye and Syria following the devastating earthquakes.
“With an unprecedented 363.3 million people in need worldwide, aid organisations should not have to choose between providing life-saving assistance and ensuring the safety of their staff” - Sally Austin CARE International #WorldHumanitarianDay care-international.org/news/crossfire…
This #WorldHumanitarianDay marks 20 years since the deadly attack on the United Nations's headquarters in Baghdad, where 22 of our colleagues lost their lives. Humanitarians deserve our deepest gratitude, admiration & appreciation.
“Our colleagues there tell us there is no safe place for them, their families, or anyone else, to seek shelter at this time.” - Sofia Sprechmann Sineiro on #Gaza care-international.org/news/israel-ga…
Withdrawing funds from UNRWA is perilous and would result in the collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, with far-reaching consequences in the occupied Palestinian territory and across the region. My Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) colleagues and I appeal for these decisions to be reconsidered.
Outraged by the killing of World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza. All this talk about ceasefires, and still this war steals the best of us.
The attack on World Central Kitchen aid workers in #Gaza is not an isolated incident. "All parties to the conflict, including the Government of Israel, must respect international humanitarian law, which prohibits the targeting of humanitarian personnel." Jamie McGoldrick's statement 👇
