Even prior to the war, young people in Lebanon have been struggling psychologically and mentally due to the consecutive crises. Today with this war, we only hope our @GAGE_programme participants remain safe and are able to cope with all the distresses we are going through 🙏🏽

Cuts to #ODA in the October budget would have devastating impacts for girls around the world, who already face significant barriers in accessing their rights due to poverty, inequality and discrimination.
Without funding to back action, the UK would be falling short on its commitments to advance the rights of women and girls and create lasting change.
#UKaid spending may hit a 17-year low, INGOs warn, unless the UK government maintain spending levels at 0.58% in October's budget and map out an urgent return to 0.7%. Coverage in the BBC via @BBCJLandale bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq8x…
