Personal news… I’m running a marathon to help children in Sierra Leone go to school! Just £4 can pay for a child’s education for a whole month, each month they stay is life-changing. Aid cuts mean support is needed more than ever. Pls chuck me a few ££! www.justgiving.com/page/gabriel...

Thank you Haitian Times for republishing this piece by @gabriellajoz.bsky.social first published in our mag issue, Land of the Free? The article looks at how cuts to #USAID funding have left #Haiti activists, journalists & vulnerable communities voiceless: haitiantimes.com/2025/08/16/s...

The #Trump administration's drastic cuts to #USAID are massively impacting human rights and media organisations in #Haiti - a country already on the brink. In our latest magazine issue, journalist @gabriellajoz.bsky.social reports on the real-world impact: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Great to be back on the @telegraphnews.bsky.social Ukraine: The Latest podcast yesterday with @adeliepjz.bsky.social and Dom Nicholls. I talked about how the war continues to harm education and is encouraging youth migration among boys - and girls. Please listen podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/u...

Ukraine has a problem no one is talking about – young women are leaving in droves - my latest for @telglobalhealth.bsky.social www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

My latest piece for @devex.com - what global education practitioners told me needs to happen next to survive massive budget cuts

As budget cuts threaten global education, it’s less about “who will step up,” and more about “how must the sector adapt.”

Education is a long-term solution to so many expensive, societal problems governments worldwide are trying to fix. Plenty of research proves this. Yet globally education aid is under attack. Solving that is going to be really long-term. My analysis for @devex.com www.devex.com/news/as-educ...

Just signed this: Dear PM... Take urgent and meaningful steps to prevent Israel’s genocidal acts against Palestinians in Gaza www.amnesty.org.uk/journalist-o...

This was a very moving moment at the #AmnestyMediaAwards last night. From miles away, with an injured hand, Wael talked through a laptop camera to a room of journalists looking for a way to answer his call. Then we stood for a minute of silence to remember more than 230 journalists killed in Gaza.

TONIGHT! Join us at The Frontline Club for a panel discussion and magazine launch on the unspoken impact of war on psychological trauma. With a focus on #Ukraine and #Gaza. Register here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/index-on-c... @gabriellajoz.bsky.social

Next Monday night I'll be joining a great line up of speakers for an @indexoncensorship.org panel at the Frontline Club, London to discuss a subject that is fascinating, but also a real and urgent issue impacting people right now that needs more attention. Please come along!

Air-tight windows in nursery buildings in case of a nuclear attack, and toddlers playing 'catch the draft-dodger'. What early years education looks like in Ukraine after three years of full-scale war www.nurseryworld.co.uk/content/feat...

So grateful my report for @telglobalhealth.bsky.social on how war and drought are forcing young people to migrate from Tigray has been shortlisted for an @amnestyuk.bsky.social Media Award. V timely as the situation there continues to worsen and needs attention www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

‘No Ball Games’ signs should totally be scrapped! Children have a right to play and should be encouraged and given this freedom in every city. Sign the petition! chng.it/p6ZnP7y6n8

"The power went out on floors seven to 12 of the building, and media were barred from accessing the sole elevator still in working order" THIS IS CRAZY. Trump administration continues to destroy global aid by taking over the US African Development Foundation www.devex.com/news/doge-ta...

It was only a matter of time #Ukraine www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

I loved this from @willpavia.bsky.social - great writing. “Musk was there… bowing his great square head like a seal trying to catch a ball on its nose.” www.thetimes.com/article/f3ff...

Good on Wałęsa for taking action on this and telling Trump he’s acting like a communist. Sadly I doubt Trump has any idea who his is or what you have to do to win a peace prize #Ukraine www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Meanwhile in Serbia... www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Great piece in @washingtonpost.com on how the USAID stop to work order is impacting African countries. Check the excellent graphic showing the depth of US donor funding around the globe www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Trump’s order to immediately halt globally all work funded by USAID for 90 days has forced Ukrainians supporting war affected communities to search for alternative funding, at a stage of the war where support it already in decline www.devex.com/news/what-lo...

Worring is no longer an appropriate word: www.devex.com/news/exclusi...

The war in Tigray, Ethiopia ended in 2022, but 1.5m people still haven't been able to go back home or to their jobs. What is being done to help them? Me for @equaltimes.bsky.social www.equaltimes.org/serious-obst...

Doctors in Ukraine have urgently upskilled since the full scale invasion, to save children with horrendous injuries. It was such a privilege to meet these determined professionals working with UNBROKEN and one of their patients, the warm and somehow hopeful Stas inews.co.uk/news/world/m...

“Sometimes women are braver than men,” Olga told me when I met her in Ukraine this month. But her sister paid the ultimate price for defending her country. My piece for @inews.co.uk inews.co.uk/news/world/f...

Great attention to gender sensitivity at a local steam train experience we took our family to today #Epping Ongar Railway #Christmas

Last week I was in #Ukraine catching up with friends and interviewing children, doctors, teachers, displaced mothers, NGO workers and volunteers. Every conversation ends with - the war has to stop, but how? And then you carry on with your day. And try to find something beautiful #Lviv
