Steve Hocking's term at the AFL has finished. Not since lockdown have I been so relieved to have something end.

1 year supporting 1.8 million #refugees with their most critical needs in #Turkey. Thank you @eu_echo for the support and to @Kizilaykart - together we continue to improve the lives of many through the largest cash programme in the world. #ESSN ❤️💪

"These days I think of myself more like a piece of silk — what I am depends on the light I am held under." Read this story by Nishat. So grateful to work with her!

For a long time, I felt like I was forever on the edge of experiences other people shared, writes Nishat.

As IFRC's biggest donor, @eu_echo supports Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies drive local action & provide humanitarian assistance to vulnerable communities while addressing COVID19 & tackling the climate crisis. Great meeting with @JanezLenarcic to expand our strong partnership.

Anyway we slice it, the global response to #COVID19 is unequal and unfair. New @IFRC & @ICRC analysis shows that people affected by humanitarian crises are significantly less likely to be tested, benefit from contact tracing, or get a #CovidVaccine. https://t.co/qvvFMNidFs

Very bad news on B.1.1.7 variant: not only more transmissible but also more deadly. The implications for the world as the variant spreads are significant. And the impetus to increase vaccination coverage against #COVID19 could not be greater. @IFRC
Just out @nature "We estimate a 61% (42–82%) higher hazard of death associated with B.1.1.7. Our analysis suggests that B.1.1.7 is not only more transmissible than preexisting SARS-CoV-2 variants, but may also cause more severe illness." https://t.co/ZC9UK55PiK by @LSHTM

@ifrc and Turkish @RedCrescent have issued a new report on the impact of #COVID on the #ESSN program funded by @eu_echo. It explores the trends in people’s employment, income and livelihoods as well as their social relations and coping strategies. https://t.co/lnBJ6rfPjL

In the bid to ensure #VaccinEquity procurement and international distribution is clearly important. But what about getting those vaccines into last mile communities? There's a deadly gap in the way the world is approaching #CovidVaccine efforts. https://t.co/2VuNQbu9uD
