Ukraine will join the @SchoolMeals_ Coalition, following the First Global Summit in October 2023. As a long-time partner in school nutrition reform, UNICEF supported Ukraine's participation in the summit. @ZelenskaUA @MON_UKRAINE @MoH_Ukraine

Under international humanitarian law, war crimes by one side do not justify war crimes by the other. The duty to spare civilians as much as possible the hazards of war is absolute, not contingent on the behavior of opponents. I explain in the @Guardian: theguardian.com/commentisfre…
#nzpol #23Election Train yourself to spot how politicians can make nice or stirring sounding speeches but say nothing. Here Brit comedian, Peter Sellers, demonstrates this:

#nzpol #ClimateCrisis A plea from a disaster manager here to kiwis: lift climate reduction action to the top of your #nzelections issue for the sake of the kids. We are off track & heading to an unliveable 3.3% planet boiling see>>
#nzpol The #VoteCompass tool showed an interesting possibility for MMP coalition that seems to avoid the risks of having to pick up the phone for fringe parties. The #TOP party of sustainable / economics folks look like they could 'reach across the aisle' for sensible stability

With support from @eu_echo, UNICEF rehabilitated Lyceum No. 3 in Irpin, which was heavily damaged during the war. The school has reopened to welcome children back to safe in-person learning this schoolyear.

Nurse Oksana is part of the home visiting programme of @MoH_Ukraine and UNICEF. Not only does she provide vital health care services to mothers and young children, but she also provides psychosocial support to those who need it.
"We are like a family with them," she says.
#UAP hearings backgrounder
"If David Grusch is telling the truth, then where are the other whistleblowers?"
"David Grusch only has secondhand information about these programs. Where are the people with firsthand information?"
These are fair questions. The problem is that the people who are asking them the loudest haven't bothered to actually look for the answers.
Here is the important context that they're missing.

It's not sulphate aerosols.
It's not the Tonga eruption.
It's not unicorns or fairy dust.
It's human-caused warming from carbon pollution (plus a sizeable natural swing from La Nina-to-El Nino)

#Parents way past time to stop driving the #kids to school - you're just driving them to destruction. Alternatives like 'walking schoolbus or bike train are available'
#Householders dry your washing outside and keep the car at home during the week. Take transit or e-car/e-bike.

I've created a document that lists as many resources as I have been able to find for the Tulsa Metro Area to cope with the effects of last nights #okwx Some cooling stations are listed as well as safety information and where to find info. Hope it helps!

While I'm very far away from 60's singer *Gene Pitneys driving time '24 Hrs from Tulsa' I'm still thinking of y'all without power and facing a fathers day clean up after the #okwx storm.

#okwx it is not unknown for people to tie down their buildings and roofs for very strong winds. A post of mine from Hurricane Florence that hit the Carolinas in 2018. And remember to secure trampolines, sail shades and the like.

If you try this spiral twist the tie downs, it helps prevent them vibrating which can work them loose. Be interesting to see post hurrican result but old fishing windswept communties in Ireland & Isle of Man hold their thatch roofs in place with nets - so might work
