Tearfund is deeply shocked and saddened to hear that Dieudonné Barondezi, a Caritas director in DRC, has been killed. We stand with, and pray for, his family and Caritas in their grief. Tearfund condemns the killing of aid workers and civilians. #NotATarget

Humanitarians are not a target.
This World Humanitarian Day, join our call to end these violations and the impunity that allows them.
It is time for those in power to act for humanity.
#WorldHumanitarianDay #ActForHumanity.

Humanitarians & civilians are #NotATarget

“While the waste collection... will make a big difference to this community, there are hundreds of thousands more communities like this. We need far more action from governments and companies, which is why an ambitious treaty is essential.” @Tearfund's Miriam Moreno
'It’s vital that a strong UN plastics treaty is agreed so it can help communities like ours.' - Pastor Wilfredo Vásquez, Church of God, El Rincón, Honduras

Zambia, along with 66 other countries/territories, has passed its #PlasticOvershootDay - when the total amount of plastic waste produced outweighs the country’s capacity to safely manage it in that year.

Thanks to @guardian for sharing the powerful stories and voices of waste-pickers, during the #INC3 #PlasticsTreaty talks. Every minute in sub-Saharan Africa, enough plastic waste to cover a football pitch is openly dumped or burned, analysis by @Tearfund has found.
‘I have known the dump since it was a quarry, now it’s like mountains.'⛰️
A stone's throw from the #PlasticsTreaty negotiations in Nairobi lies Dandora dump site, one of the largest in Africa.

The vast majority of people fleeing into South Sudan are actually South Sudanese nationals, who left South Sudan years ago due to its own instability and conflict and rebuilt their lives in Sudan.
Now, they have found violence in their new home, too.

A powerful report from @mollyblackall, I hope it brings much needed attention to the crisis and lack of funding. We are hearing too many stories like this from our colleagues @Tearfund South Sudan.
This has brightened my morning considerably... #MZANZI1 #firefighters
This is heartwarming and a reminder of the good in humanity.
200+ South African firefighters landed in Canada to assist in the fight against the raging wildfire.
Upon arrival, they greeted Canada with a special song and dance in the early hours of the morning...full of pride and resilience!

All the best to our friend Steve and everyone walking in memory of #garyspeed to raise money for a very worthy cause. Please do support if you can, every single £ donated will help.
