Israel's indiscriminate use of U.S.-supplied weapons have already killed thousands of civilians in #Gaza. U.S. arms transfers must end now.

It’s #WorldMentalHealthDay
Work can affect mental health — both positively and negatively.
It’s essential to reduce risks to #MentalHealth, and create safe, healthy work environments for all.

ALT This World Mental Health Day, WHO is uniting with partners to highlight the vital connection between mental health and work. Safe, healthy working environments can act as a protective factor for mental health. Unhealthy conditions including stigma, discrimination, and exposure to risks like harassment and other poor working conditions, can pose significant risks, affecting mental health, overall quality of life and consequently participation or productivity at work. With 60% of the global population in work, urgent action is needed to ensure work prevents risks to mental health and protects and supports mental health at work.

Anna lived in the frontline Kharkiv Oblast. She had 14 cats, many of them abandoned by previous owners.
Together with our partners @Peaceforce and NGO "I am Saved", we spent 8 days organizing the evacuation. Now Anna, her mother, and the cats are in safe in Chernihiv Oblast 🤲🏼
