A stunning story...breathtaking, heartbreaking. An Afghan writer to watch ..#Afghanistan
When a gifted Afghan writer tells you the story of what happened in Afghanistan, you will understand it better. You will feel it. My friend Jamaluddin Aram : theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

Today, from Paris, the bird's owner, "Alia", found me on Twitter. She was so happy to see her bird thus cared for. She wanted me to teach him 🇫🇷. Alia, your bird has become the embassy's mascot, but he is here for you, and if I can, I'll take him personally to you one day.

The end of a most difficult week in Afghanistan - we and partners remain firmly focused on delivering life-saving aid and protection inside the country. We see now an internal displacement crisis not a refugee exodus.

“We have 3.5 million internally displaced people…about 550,000 of those individuals were #displaced just since January.”

“To be a child in Gaza today means that you have inevitably witnessed a level of trauma that your peers elsewhere in the world have not” @UNLazzarini
Almost 120,000 children in Gaza are participating in summer activities which aim to enhance physical & psychological wellbeing.

#Gaza: “....what terrifies me more is the silence of the aftermath. A silence that will allow the world to forget about us once again until the next round of hostilities, while we die a slow, anonymous death under the pretence of calm. That is no life.” nrc.no/perspectives/2021/don…

#Gaza @UNRWA #sanitation team insisted not to go home and worked into the night to repair a water line damaged by bombs in Jabaliya Refugee Camp. They also disinfected the water line & pumped water to affected families who suffered water shortage for almost 3 consecutive days

Two days after the ceasefire, 3,000 young females & males, volunteered to clean the streets and remove the rubble. Life & hope win over war.

Few hours after the ceasefire, shocking scenes in Gaza city, it needs years to rebuilt and decades of the closure isn't lifted. The cycle of destruction and reconstruction must be stopped.

The homes of our almost 13000 Palestinian staff do not have a protective blue UN flag on top. For them and their families this is much more terrifying than for me. Yet they will in the morning again continue serving their people, for which I can only have the deepest respect!
Do not copy tools or frameworks from others. If you do that, you will not advance, nor make a difference. If you want to create something different, get inspired by how pioneers do things differently. Experience it.
