“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Horrified that the brief respite of the ceasefire appears to be over—already seeing reports of many injured & killed, including children. This after weeks of Israel blocking aid into Gaza. This after months of escalating violence and displacement in the West Bank. The nightmare continues.

BREAKING: Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip have killed at least 235 Palestinians, according to local hospitals. Follow AP's live coverage.

Whilst the right to abortion is widely supported in the UK - there is a worrying rise of a vocal and strategic minority of anti choice groups seeking to amend term limits & harass those seeking care www.marieclaire.co.uk/life/politic...

It's simple: we can't have gender equality without safe abortion ✊ So as leaders gather to discuss women’s rights and progress at #Beijing30, we're proud to be part of the #SafeAbortionDialogue, standing together boldly for abortion rights and access.

‘When will the #BBC conclude that #Israel IS violating #internationallaw, and shape its coverage around that truth?’ #Gaza #BBC coverage has been shocking & offers an ongoing platform to #israel PR machine to churn out lies & mirror this in BBC reporting There needs to be an inquiry & answers!

‘The biggest rift between my commitment to truth & the role I had to play as a #BBC journalist. We have passed the point at which #Israel’s #warcrimes & #crimesagainsthumanity are debatable. There’s more than enough evidence’ @karishmapatel.bsky.social www.independent.co.uk/voices/bbc-g...

Israel’s Energy Minister Eli Cohen has ordered the complete cutting off its electricity supply to Gaza, threatening the functioning of the enclave’s desalination plants amid an ongoing aid shortage in the holy month of Ramadan.

“National defence and international development are two sides of the same coin. Our long-term security requires us to invest in both.” #UKAid @emily4mk.bsky.social @afghnetwork.bsky.social @bondngo.bsky.social @appgonglobalsrhr.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Mary Fissells new book "Abortion: A History" reveals that, whatever evangelicals and Trumpists might believe, society’s knowledge and tolerance of abortion has long been a strong, if quiet, thread. Law or no law, women have always found answers to their problems.

Civic groups and policymakers are urging the EU to safeguard sexual and reproductive rights in Europe amid abortion restrictions in the US and the rise of far-right governments across the continent.

#AnnelieseDodds has resigned at Minister #InternationalDevelopment following the horrendous decision to further cut #UKAid theguardian.com/politics/202...

Keir Starmer to carry out largest cut to UK overseas aid in history

Local family planning NGOs in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Malawi, and the Philippines shared how they've had to close down several of their clinics, send staff home with no assurances of returning to work or let them go entirely.

The Trump administration terminates funding for polio, HIV, malaria and nutrition programs around the world. “People will die,” said Dr. Catherine Kyobutungi of the African Population and Health Research Center, “but we will never know, because even the programs to count the dead are cut.”

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Devastating impact of #USAid termination of programmes - 🇸🇩 Sudan: ‘We have anywhere between 15 and 30 infants and children in these stabilization centers at a time, and if they do not have care, within about a four to eight-hour period, they will die’ Jocelyn Wyatt, CEO Alight #MuskMurder

Over the last 48 hours, thousands of programs have been terminated — many of which had already been granted waivers to deliver lifesaving humanitarian aid.
