From #Gaza to #Tigray & #Ukraine, water has been weaponised. Given #WorldWaterDay's focus on 'Water for Peace', @alan_nicol & I argue that the multilateral system needs to show moral compass & stop the wars & the weaponisation of water & food. @newhumanitarian @iwmi @IDS_UK.

I am largely going to be inactive here. Please find me on @lylamehta.bsky.social & @Lylamehta@mas.to. I stayed here despite growing unease due to all the great connections, esp. w. global South folks & activists. But it's now too toxic & Musk is truly dangerous. Time to quit.

Our mission to negotiate the release of @UN staff detainees and to assess the health and humanitarian situation in #Yemen concluded today. We continue to call for the detainees' immediate release. As we were about to board our flight from Sana’a, about two hours ago, the airport
