Important meeting hosted by the UK today.
Great to hear an update on the situation from UK Ambassador to Sudan
@GilesLeverUK
We're working with partners to use our collective influence and encourage a swift end to this horrific conflict.
Today the UK convened a meeting on the conflict in Sudan with key partners based in Ethiopia.
The international community is working tirelessly to end the violence.
We are united in our concern and will continue to do all we can to help Sudan return to a path of peace.

Fascinating first day at the Sanitation and Water for All
#2022SMM
🌏 Ministers recognise the importance of climate resilient water, sanitation and hygiene services, especially in healthcare settings, to support COVID-19 recovery and readiness for future pandemics
@sanwatforall
With access to water, sanitation and hygiene, children are more easily protected against diseases.
It is only when everyone has access to these services can we make progress towards a healthier future
