“These returning families arrive in #Afghanistan with virtually nothing and face a grim reality – a stark contrast to the stability they desperately need. The impending winter intensifies the urgency for immediate assistance." - @ArshadSave

Depressing to be sharing yet another package on #Hunger in the HOA but this is what the world's worst hunger crisis looks like.

Already displaced families were forced to once again pack up and flee their temporary homes in Cabo Delgado as the insidious and still very secretive conflict reached a new frontline.
Such a sad and worrying state of affairs. #CaboDelgado #Mozambique

We met some incredible future leaders in #Mozambique this week, talking about conflict, climate change, and COVID-19.
Depressing topics and yet the kids spoke with optimism, trust - and kindness.
Lots to love about my job, but meetings like these are really special.

The conflict in #CaboDelgado #Mozambique has displaced 1/3 of the region's population.
The displaced people are scattered across the north, with parents trying to enroll their kids into already crowded schools.

Press conference with kids, media and @SaveCEO_Intl Inger Ashing in #CaboDelgado . "We can't let this crisis be ignored."💪 #Mozambique
En route to #Mozambique to support colleagues responding to the hideous conflict in #CaboDelgado.
Kids are still being killed, families are still being displaced, things are still really terrible for millions of people, and yet the situation remains underreported.
As #Omicron spreads, one chief in #Malawi is on a mission to boost #COVID19 vaccination rates among young people scared off by myths and stigma.
His name is Chief Chimlango. Read of his exploits here: reliefweb.int/report/malawi/…
@SCIMalawi @Save_globalnews @EU_ECHO
Save the Children has a team in #Madagascar working with families who are battling the worst drought in 40 years. If you're a journalist and want to learn more about our work, DM me.
More needs to be done to get this #climatecrisis on the world agenda.

This is Sambeanake.
She is 6 and lives in #Madagascar.
She told our team last week that her favorite game is pretending to make a meal out of rocks and sand.
She doesn't have enough food to eat.

Great to see @AJEnglish @C_SOI reporting from #Burundi on the impact of environmental degradation and deforestation on communities. Timely and important reporting. 👇👇 #ClimateCrisis

In a 1.5°C world, I, as a 36-year-old, will experience
🔥 wildfires 1.5×
🍂 crop failures 2.4×
🏜️ droughts 3.4×
☀️ heatwaves 12.5×
more than without climate change.
Sadly I've already experienced a bunch of these and they are GRIM

It's a truth universally acknowledged that everyone loves a flattering photo of themselves 😊 😊 #Burundi
Our colleague @OdetteNtambara stands in a water damaged classroom in #Burundi. Lake Tanyanikya broke its banks last April but water levels haven't gone down and the new rainy season has just begun. Is this a flood or a permenant rise of the lake? #ClimateCrisis @save_children
