"Children are at risk of being recruited into conflict, being forced into child labour, child marriage and of course children suffer immensely from mental health when they're not in school." - Vishna Shah @save_children

In a debate on International Day of Education, @BambosMP highlighted investing in learning as one of the smartest long-term ways to support global stability and empowering women. Yet this comes as the UK's investment slows down against the backdrop of #ODA cuts. @sendmyfriend

"I saw the pain my wife went through during childbirth because of FGM. I could not let my daughters go through the same suffering."
We support gender equality worldwide.
Due to UK aid cuts, one of Somalia's only initiatives directly tackling gender-based violence, including child marriage and Female Genital Mutilation, will end in March 2026 – two years earlier than planned.
This is devastating news for the thousands that will now go without support. independent.co.uk/news/world…

Mass executions. Mass rape. Mass displacement.
What I heard this week was grim beyond words. The priority is to prevent any further atrocities.
More on my interview with @SkyYaldaHakim:
UN humanitarian chief @UNReliefChief tells @SkyYaldaHakim that people in the Sudanese city of al Fashir are reporting mass executions, mass rape and other horrors after paramilitary forces took control of the city.

"Freedom – not a pause between violent raids, not a quota of aid trucks, not the right to rebuild ruins again – is the only end to this story that deserves the word peace."

Channel 4 News is inside one of many warehouses filled with tonnes of aid that the Israeli authorities are not letting through to Gaza.
It's estimated that there is enough aid for 150 trucks per day, five days per week for three months to help Palestinians.
We have reached out to the Israeli government for a response.

With support from GPE and @save_children, @NigEducation is expanding access to education for over 24,000 refugee children.
The impact is clear: with teacher training, learning and dignity kits, enrollment is up and the learning experience transformed 👏

"Despite government signals that education programmes could face cuts in #UK aid spending, new polling by @SendMyFriend comes ahead of a critical year for education financing. In 2026, both major multilateral funds – @EduCannotWait and #GPE – will be replenishing their funds."

Education is lifesaving work – the foundation for recovery, dignity and hope. We must invest in the future, even in crises.
Great to join Gordon and Sarah Brown, and leaders at the #UNGA80 Global Education Dinner.

Sweeping aid cuts in 2025 are having a huge impact on children and youth’s access to #education in emergencies.
A 🆕briefing out today from Geneva Global Hub for EiE, the GEC and @INEEtweets assesses the impact and puts forth recommendations.

Only 29% of education funding needs were met in 2024 humanitarian appeals.
Education is one of the most underfunded sectors in crisis response.
This must change.

"I saw many atrocities as a senior aid official in Gaza. Now Israeli authorities are trying to silence us"
UNOCHA's head of office in the OPT:
"I have seen first-hand what appears to be the systematic dismantling of the means to sustain Palestinian life."

These children's lives in Gaza were stolen by war. Every single death preventable.
We can’t bring back the over 19,000 killed, but we must help the children who will die without a lasting ceasefire and immediate aid surge.
18,500 of the 60,000 people killed in Israel’s war in Gaza are children.
Here are their names. 🧵 wapo.st/3U5KowA

Our worst fear, everything that we've warned, famine is unfolding in #Gaza according to the @theIPCinfo. We have seen 10 fold increase in acute child malnutrition in our clinics over the last 4 months. For many children, aid that comes in now will be far too late, and many will die.
🧵 on what we heard from our teams today 1/6
PRESS RELEASE: Acute malnutrition in children under five at Save the Children clinics surged 10-fold since March. "Children in Gaza are starving to death before our eyes" @save_children director in the Middle East, Ahmad Alhendawi
