@actionaiduk.bsky.socialGaza ceasefire exists in name only, say 100 organisations
A year after the ceasefire agreement, 100 humanitarian, human rights and civil society organisations say the ceasefire exists in name only, with Israeli forces continuing to kill and injure Palestinians daily.

@actionaiduk.bsky.socialFour weeks since the devastating Nepal floods: Nepal did not create the climate crisis but its people are being left to pay the price. Sujeeta Mathema, ActionAid Nepal, argues that the country needs climate justice, not charity.

@gadnetwork.bsky.socialReposted by @actionaiduk.bsky.social📢 The global debt crisis is a gender justice crisis.
GADN & @actionaiduk.bsky.social have published a new briefing breaking down this fundamental connection, with recommendations for the UK Govt on how it should use its G20 presidency to take action.

@decappeal.bsky.socialReposted by @actionaiduk.bsky.socialSahar, an @actionaiduk.bsky.social aid worker, wasn't just responding to the crisis in #Gaza. She was living through it.
Her neighbourhood and office was destroyed.
Yet she continued helping women and families access food and shelter.

@actionaiduk.bsky.socialYesterday we hosted a feminist gathering to progress the Gender Action Plan, a hard-fought framework for gender-responsive climate action agreed at COP30. A plan is only as strong as its implementation, and we call on UK Govt to turn this historic commitment into meaningful action. #ActOnTheBelemGAP
@actionaiduk.bsky.social“Everything we worked so hard for is gone”. Nearly three weeks after catastrophic floods tore through communities in Nepal, a woman who lost her husband and everything her family had worked to build describes her fears for her children’s future.

@actionaiduk.bsky.social“Everyone has lost someone.” ActionAid Nepal’s Sabin Shrestha spoke to @RestIsPolitics about the scale of devastation after recent flash floods. More than 84,000 people have been affected and need support to rebuild, not just survive.
@actionaiduk.bsky.socialIllegal Israeli settlements trade ban is a significant if overdue step. Read our statement:
@actionaiduk.bsky.socialNepal’s floods have exposed the consequences of a climate finance system that is failing the countries that need it most. As Sujeeta, Executive Dir of ActionAid Nepal, told Forbes: “Nepal is paying the price of global warming where our contribution is less than 0.1%.”
