"Australia is making a terrible humanitarian mistake by allowing the Iran National Woman’s Soccer team to be forced back to Iran, where they will most likely be killed. Don’t do it, Mr. Prime Minister, give ASYLUM. The U.S. will take them if you won’t..." - @POTUS

Victoria's ban on single-use plastics starts today! This wouldn't have happened without tens of thousands of ocean lovers who demanded action to protect our vulnerable whales and seabirds. Thank you!💙 For more info: marineconservation.org.au/wh…

🟢 BREAKING NEWS After two requests for a place of safety sent to #Italian authorities, #Salerno was assigned as the port to disembark the 248 survivors currently on board the #GeoBarents. This is more than 24 hours from the current location of the ship with bad sea conditions.

👋 Meet Clarisse Mawika She helped launch community distribution posts for antiretroviral treatment for #HIV in the #DRC. “When we launched the first 2 posts in Kinshasa, less than 20 patients got their treatment from it. Today, more than 10,000 go there to get their medicine.”
20yrs ago, @MSF teams in the #DRC opened the first treatment centre offering free care to people living with #HIV in Kinshasa. Since then, great progress has been achieved. But major gaps remain, causing thousands of preventable deaths. #WorldAIDSDay bit.ly/3Hi2K8r
