โI never had the chance to study. At least I do my best to make sure they get an education,โ says Kubra, Ruqayaโs grandmother.
At 56, Kubra has lived life without the opportunity to learn. Today, she is determined to help her family get that chance.
Her granddaughter, Ruqaya Sadat, 8 years old, attends a Community-Based Education (CBE) class in Char Toot, #Afghanistan. Before joining the class, Ruqaya would sit beside her brother as he studied, learning alongside him. Now, she is progressing in her own lessons and dreams of becoming a teacher.
Her teacher, Roshan Hashimi, understands the value of education. She is passionate about helping children learn and encouraging them to continue their education.
With @people_in_needโs supportโand in partnership with SADA, and with ๐ช๐บ @eu_echo fundingโchildren like Ruqaya can learn, develop their skills, and imagine a future full of possibilities. #PINEiE

Hear from @MPopowskiEU as he meets people affected by conflict and displacement and sees the situation on the ground.
Heavy rains and flooding are putting lives at risk in Gazaโs displacement camps. With 1.4 million people still in makeshift shelters, urgent action is needed.

Leaving home brings many challenges for refugee families, but parents continue to do everything they can to give their children a sense of stability.
@eu_echo support helps ease some of the financial pressure so families can focus on their childrenโs needs and well-being.
A global first for Ukraine!
In October, the Lviv medical evacuation team became the first in the world verified under the @WHOUkraine SCT Medevac Advanced standard.

In Gaza, families are bailing water out of their tents with pots and pans.
Floods have swept through the displacement camps. The rain makes a crisis that was already unbearable worse.
Humanitarian partners are working through the storm. They need more aid to get in, now.

This assistance helps children continue learning despite immense challenges, and safeguards their right to education.
When you need regular check-ups, a trip out of the village every time can make care harder to reach.
๐ฝ๏ธWatch how, with EU funding, @WHOMoldova is piloting medical video consultations in Moldova๐ฒ๐ฉ so people like Svetlana can speak to their doctor from their local clinic.
