“South Sudan’s stability begins with health” - Cordaid International In South Sudan, where conflict, floods, and mass displacement converge, a quiet but deadly resurgence of tuberculosis (TB) and HIV is threatening the lives of millions. “TB and HIV are not in the news...

“TB and HIV are not in the news,” says Gerald Agaba, TB/HIV Programme Manager for Cordaid South Sudan. “But they are spreading. We don’t have another partner like the #GlobalFund supporting TB and HIV services at this scale. If the funding stops, it all stops.”

As Mass Starvation Spreads across Gaza, Our Colleagues and Those We Serve Are Wasting Away - Cordaid International Humanitarian organisations in Gaza are witnessing their colleagues and partners waste away before their eyes. They are sounding the alarm.

We join 100+ orgs calling for an immediate ceasefire in #Gaza, unimpeded aid access and an end to starvation.

No child should go hungry. No one should have to beg for bread.

Silence is not an option.

This new publication shares feminist insights + lessons from a WIPC project (supported by #RRW #WPHF) working to change that.

According to The Economist, investing in immunisation is one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent millions of deaths and promote long-term stability. Every dollar invested in @gavi.org generates 54 dollars in wider economic benefits.

If you live in the Netherlands, you have helped @gavi.org immunise over 37 million children since 2000. Vaccines support more than health — they protect rights, unlock opportunities, and build resilience: www.one.org/stories/heal...
