⚡️New MSF Report⚡️
One of the worst maternal and child health emergencies in the world is unfolding in #SouthDarfur, #Sudan, according to a report released by @MSF.
Pregnant, birthing, and postpartum women, as well as children, are dying from preventable conditions as their health needs far exceed what MSF can respond to.
We call on donors, the UN, and international organisations to urgently increase funding for, as well as scale up and supply, maternal health and nutrition programmes.

The UK will send some asylum seekers to Rwanda, where their claims will be processed, shifting its responsibilities to another country and undermining the practice of asylum globally.
The same practice which has saved thousands of refugees, from Ukraine and many other places.
Closing the @CommonsIDC inquiry into @FCDOGovUK on cuts & the Equality Assessment it was painful to reflect on the lack of transparency, consultation & accountability taken by Government
