Thanks 🙏 for articulating my findings so well, @JournalonEiE! Interested in the intersection of DRR 🌋 EiE 📚 & teachers’ work 👩🏻🏫 in Indonesia 🇮🇩? Click 👇 to read the article. @GFDRR @GADRRRES @RedCrossAU @ACICIS @unescobangkok @unescojakarta @TeachersCollege @EiEGenevaHub
Drawing from #ethnographic #research on teachers in post-earthquake Indonesia, @ChrisGlobalEd relates how global-level actors often miss the opportunity to engage with teachers’ agency and resilience in #humanitarian response guidance and #policymaking.

Going #BackToSchool , teachers bring hope & security they share w/ their students.
But in emergencies, with schools being damaged or salaries going unpaid, do we #ValueTeachers?

In no other conflict does a U.N. school housing refugees get bombed, and people wait to hear about the military objective

This is unacceptable and horrendous. Schools. Children. Teachers. Never legitimate targets.
Ceasefire now!
We strongly condemn Israeli attacks against schools in #Gaza. Schools must always be protected as safe sanctuaries.
We continue to call for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and decisive steps towards a lasting peace in the region.

This is simply not true. The overwhelming majority of Rohingya activists, if not all, are demanding citizenship for their community in Burma, not to carve out a separate entity in Arakan. thenewhumanitarian.org/inter…

Hamas has accepted Biden peace proposal. Netanyahu has turned it down. But you'd wouldn't know this from reading the BBC's headline, which yet again seems to have been written by the Israeli Embassy or a lobbying group in their employ.

Palestinians have always struck me for their unparalleled love for education.
As they are slaughtered by Israeli genocidal violence, leading Palestinian academics from Gaza call for our help, to continue to exist, and through education, resist subjugation and despair.
Let's join their call and help them stop Palestinian scholasticide.

The Myanmar junta’s forced conscription of #Rohingya is a “deliberate strategy” aimed at creating communal conflict between Rakhine and Rohingya communities and “disrupting the revolution against the military junta,” said Ejaz Min Khant from @FortifyRights voanews.com/a/young-rohingya…
@MetroCanterbury I tried calling your customer information line: My 13 yr old daughter arrived home in Lyttelton at 3.40pm on the #28 bus. She is quite disturbed that the driver publicly admonished a young mother for breastfeeding on the bus. Is this company policy? Please advise

At least 40 children, women and men are confirmed dead in Rafah after an Israeli airstrike last night on tents housing those forced to flee within Gaza.
How many more red lines must be crossed?

UN envoys of Palestine, #Ireland, #Spain and #Norway posed for a celebratory picture at the #UNSC stakeout, hours after the 3 countries recognized the State of #Palestine.
"This court should be the triumph of law over power and brute force... "
A poignant moment from the ICC Prosecutor's @CNN interview: "I had some elected leaders speak to me and be very blunt: 'This Court was built for Africa and for thugs like Putin'... We don't view it like that."
We're witnessing a battle for the soul of international criminal law.

BREAKING: Video from Rohingya Camp 4 Block B captures intense scenes circa 5pm:
Rohingya youths armed with sticks stand against RSO and ARA cadres attempting abductions. The community is determined to resist forced conscription.
Intervention needed to prevent escalation - but this is not possible given the complicity of the authorities.
