@who.int is appalled by the latest evacuation order, demanding 1 million people to move from Gaza City to a “humanitarian zone” in the south.

To civilians: WHO and partners remain in Gaza City.

To the intl. community: Act.

This catastrophe is human-made, & the responsibility rests with us all.

NIH grant cancellations makes the world less safer. Without the contributions of South Africa the global response to COVID-19 would have been worse.

Need global contingency measures for poor/selfish political decisions by the US.
A not very happy Friday. CERI had 6 NIH grants canceled, which will impact operations, surveillance and response to epidemics. We are working to try to minimize disturbance but not easy with 6 grants terminated at the same moment. A crisis is unfolding in SA www.news24.com/southafrica/...
