🌊 From Switzerland’s beautiful lakes to the 117 million worldwide, these waters provide 90% of Earth’s surface freshwater, sustain food & biodiversity, and help regulate our climate.
On the first #WorldLakeDay, let’s protect them from pollution, overuse & climate change. 💧

Peace is a prerequisite for food security. When aid workers face violence, food security collapses, displacement rises, and resilience erodes. Protecting humanitarian workers is inseparable from protecting those they serve. #ActForHumanity #WorldHumanitarianDay

Gaza is now on the brink of a full-scale famine. We urgently need safe and sustained humanitarian access and immediate support to restore local food production and livelihoods. The #RightToFood is a basic human right. #4Betters
#Gaza faces a grave risk of famine as food consumption and nutrition indicators reach their worst levels since the conflict began, warns @theIPCinfo.
@FAO, @UNICEF and @WFP call for an immediate and sustained ceasefire and unhindered humanitarian access.
