Not the eternal truth – just a rhyme...

Humanitarian sector shaken, not stirred
Movement in a state of alert
Millions of people in dire need
Left in the cold or stuck in the heat
We cannot ignore the scale of the challenge
Just do what we can to restore the balance

Not an advocacy brief – just a rhyme…

Colleagues in the red vest we know times are dire
But we salute you & your inner humanitarian fire
Budget cuts & funding suspensions
Erosion of our most valued conventions
Never give up & never despair
The world is broken and it needs repair
