The eradication of all landmines cannot wait. Whether new or old contamination, clearance must be completed by #MineAction actors and States Parties of @MineBanTreaty. It is a human problem and too many people have lived for generations next to unexploded ordnance #IMAD2023
We work in 13 countries clearing legacy and new #ExplosiveOrdnance contamination. Supporting safety awareness, building capacity of national partners and ensuring survivors are recognized, #MineActionCannotWait the needs are great, and the work continues. #IMAD2023
#ExplosiveOrdnance contamination threatens lives, curtails freedom of movement, limits access to arable land, disenfranchises communities and above all instills fear and insecurity. Today, #IMAD2023 we remember the work that still needs to be done #MineActionCannotWait

I met today with Mullah Baradar and the Taliban leadership.
We spoke about @ICRC’s plans to scale our life-saving work across #Afghanistan.
Neutral, impartial and independent humanitarian action is the basis of our work.
ICRC has served Afghans for 30 years.
We won’t stop now.

Our current research on #humanitarian programming in #Yemen shows that access is heavily compromised, especially in the #North. What leverage is there to change this? Is it really time for #development funding..?

Okay, so here's what's needed next: Share the mRNA vaccine technology and know-how.
Share it with additional manufacturers in low- and middle-income countries, including in Africa.
This will help increase global production & supply ASAP.
This will save lives.

Human Rights Watch has written an urgent letter to Australian Prime Minister @ScottMorrisonMP regarding Afghanistan - Instead of scaling-up protection & support to Afghans in their time of need, the Australian government seems to be doing the bare minimum hrw.org/news/2021/08/18/aust…
