Red Cross leaders from 14 Pacific Island states are meeting in Fiji now.
They are talking about the lived experience of climate change - increased storms, flooding, and villages already lost to the sea.
We are planning for the resilience needed to face this growing threat.

Red Cross volunteers in the Pacific islands of Vanuatu are travelling to communities and raising awareness on #COVID19 and the benefits of getting the 💉.
Teams are also assisting the Health Ministry with registrations at vaccination sites.

For two years #COVID19 ravaged the world, until vaccines gave us hope.
Analysis by @ifrc shows nearly a billion people in Asia Pacific are still unvaccinated, putting us all at risk.
Everyone, everywhere must be vaccinated.
