Disruption of water and sanitation systems is not only a technical or humanitarian-services issue — it is fundamentally a protection of civilians issue.

Recent setbacks and renewed mine use risk decades of progress.

🧵1/ At the #NPTRevCon, South Africa took the floor, in its capacity as the President of the 1st Review of the #TPNW, to argue that any outcome document must reflect the view of TPNW states parties, which group represents a majority of NPT member states: youtu.be/XMQaMqEg-fg

This Group of Friends on PoC is really important. The call for full respect of IHL is key
But wait… just a few meters away at the #NPTRevCon negotiations aren’t some major NWS from this very group trying to remove references to IHL from the final document?

#UNSC open debate on #ProtectionOfCivilians : 🇨🇭, on behalf of the Group of Friends on PoC, called for full respect of international humanitarian law and accountability for its violation. Civilians, including humanitarian & medical personnel, must be protected at all times.

High Level Conference on Humanity in War to convene in Jordan on 7 December 2026.
Compliance w/ international humanitarian law and preserving a minimum of humanity in war must be a political priority of states if they want these wars to end & their societies to recover.

EPIWATCH uses AI to track outbreaks in realtime—a critical tool in tracking a biological incident like hantavirus outbreak.
Founded by epidemiologist and physician Raina MacIntyre.👇
May 7
More contacts of #hantavirus being investigated in France and Singapore. The long incubation period means there could be more cases arising over the next 2 months. If any human-human cases from these, even longer. Using @EPIWATCH_bsp we saw a concerning rise in hantavirus in Argentina since 2025. Situational awareness and early warning can help alert stakeholders in the #travel industry to risks.

📍Mali | When there are violent incidents affecting health care, the impact goes beyond the immediate harm. Fear spreads of seeking care and not being treated.
Vuningoma Dismas, our hospital project manager in Mali, explains how these attacks disrupt services and put more civilian lives at risk.

Congratulations Lebanon! Such a good news, a powerful message for all those who suffer the devastating consequences of these awful weapons and an important step toward the universalization of international humanitarian law treaties #IHL in action 🙏
We welcome Lebanon’s accession to the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention as its 162nd State Party.
This marks an important step toward protecting civilians from the devastating effects of anti-personnel mines and strengthening the global effort to universalize the treaty.
ALT Lebanon is the 162nd state to join the Mine Ban Treaty.
