On Friday, the global humanitarian system was jolted by a sudden & extremely drastic move: the US announced the freezing of virtually all foreign aid, based on Trump's latest exective order. Cruel even by Trump standards. More 👉 www.instagram.com/p/DFUx2NVoMp...

Aren’t we supposed to commemorate the liberation of Auschwitz 80 years ago today? Instead we see razzia’s and deportation of migrants in the land of the free and ethnic cleansing across Palestine… insanely cruel and dangerous times that are reminiscent of a dark page in modern history.

Some weeks ago, reporter @celianmace shed light on the situation of people that are fleeing northern Mali ‘en masse’. We were there and their stories were shocking and heartbreaking 💔.
