418 member organisations. Almost 200 older people consultations in 12 countries. That is how we built the position we took to @UN_HRC in July. That is what a treaty shaped by older people looks like at the drafting stage, and it is why we are asking for the same thing at every stage. #AgeWithRights

Reading the details of the US execution story from last night and it is absolute barbarism. Like reading a history of the medieval period.

🧵1/ The world produces enough food to feed everyone, yet 733 million people are undernourished. Meanwhile, obesity is rising worldwide. Helen Walls and I argue @plosglobalpublichealth.org that the problem isn't food supply, but who has power and resources to access it.

What happens when an Afghan family runs out of ways to cope with poverty? Savings disappear. Assets are sold. Children leave school. Our new report looks beyond the statistics at how families are being pushed to the limits & what happens when there is nothing left to fall back on. bit.ly/4d0917r

It's been 10 months since a ceasefire was declared in Gaza, but Palestinians are still being killed on a daily basis. Graça Machel, Deputy Chair of The Elders, warns that diplomatic talks cannot be an excuse for inaction

“The latest talks to break the political impasse on Gaza are welcome. But while diplomats and envoys keep shuttling around, Israel continues to kill civilians daily, with total impunity. UNICEF reports that on average one child a day has been killed since the October 2025 ceasefire.” - Graça Machel, Deputy Chair of The Elders

“As the occupying power, Israel must stop blocking aid. On our visit to the region last month, we were shocked to hear how desperate the situation has become. Humanitarians with decades of experience described conditions never seen before such as children being bitten by rodents as they slept. The Government of Israel is deliberately aiming to make life unliveable.

Every individual death is a tragedy. Collectively, they are an outrage to our common humanity.” - Graça Machel, Deputy Chair of The Elders

Completely fascinating report, including the detail that @hopenothate.org.uk shared intel that Russians were targeting the PM with UK police and were ignored. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Evidence shows Russians directing the plot and stoking tensions with fake far-right and Muslim groups.

Millions of Palestinians remain displaced and at risk of being confined to just 30% of Gaza, with little shelter or basic necessities. Full respect for IHL is paramount, including the prohibition on forcible transfer and the obligation to ensure essential supplies.
