#COP30 matters for humanitarians – because every fraction of a degree means more floods, droughts and displacement.

For millions already on the front lines of the climate crisis, this isn’t about the future – it’s about survival today.

Climate action is humanitarian action. 🌍

Even before the Saudi Hospital in El Fasher, #Sudan, was attacked, doctors faced horrific cases – people surviving on a cup of animal feed.

Medical supplies blocked. Hospitals bombed.
