TY for covering this under-reported story, Lauren. It's unfathomable to me that the Famine Early Warning System is still down. The "move fast + break things" approach threatens to kill millions, + to pose major security risks to the US and our allies. Secretary Marco Rubio you can fix this.

Here is the latest chaos + disruption NOAA. The DOGE theory of "move fast and break things" will unnecessarily cost lives + livelihoods. There is a right way to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse from USG. This is not that way, at either an individual or agency level. TY Dinah Voyles Pulver

Today marks 17 years of the WHO #HandHygiene campaign. In 2025, it’s not just about clean hands — it’s about strengthening IPC, reducing waste, and integrating WASH into health systems for climate-resilient care. Let’s keep hands clean & systems strong. šŸ”— who.int/campaigns/worl…

A study published Monday in The Lancet estimates that the USAID funding cuts could result in more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030. Nearly a third of those deaths – more than 4.5 million – are estimated to be among children younger than 5. cnn.com/2025/07/01/pol…
