It's 266 square feet, nearly two hundred years old, and it was built for one job: sheltering the guards who watched the graveyard next door — because thieves kept digging up bodies and selling them. The rent is £5,000 a year. Roland takes it on the spot. #HistoricHomes #UniqueRentals #WeirdArchitecture #Nocountrycodesfound.

🇺🇳🇺🇦 Very good discussion with Prime Minister of Ukraine @KoretskyiUA on @UNDP’s work on energy and demining, and the urgent need for more shelter. Our priority is clear: help Ukrainians through another difficult winter. No one should face this winter alone. https://t.co/O1mSyEMp35 #Ukraine #EnergyAid #WinterSupport #UA #UN

How the fate of a small furry animal reveals the ecological tragedy of Israel’s war on Lebanon— Repeated large-scale bombing are not only causing human tragedy, they are also destroying the limestone habitats sheltering colonies of rock hyrax for centuries https://t.co/xGZXg9lP6L #EcologicalTragedy #IsraelWar #RockHyrax #IL #LB

The russians bombed us all night. Kyiv was exploding and burning. We were all hiding in shelters. We had already received warnings yesterday that russia was preparing a massive attack. I went to sleep in the shelter. My hotel room was not safe. Just as homes, apartments and https://t.co/vwQJ10wJ97 #Kyiv #Russia #Shelter #UA #RU

People like @JoeMurphyLondon here who claim to find the word 'man' offensive are stating that there is no possible way women can even *discuss* the issue of men invading their changing rooms, sports and shelters. #GenderDebate #WomenRights #InclusiveLanguage #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

As rains approach, winterisation in Gaza is far behind: 94% need shelter & non-food items. Rains could flood overcrowded sites with waste & sewage, where families are trying to make a home. This is a race against time. Shelter, clean water & waste management are needed now. https://t.co/aN7JMvmD2A #Gaza #HumanitarianCrisis #Winterisation #GA

Today, in broad daylight, my colleagues at the EU Delegation in Kyiv ran to the shelter upon hearing another of more that ten air alerts today. On the way they heard a loud explosion. A russian jet-powered drone flew right over our building and exploded close to us. Smoke was https://t.co/nxRUpbnCSb #Kyiv #Russia #AirAlert #EU #UA #RU

I don’t sleep in my bed anymore. I fall asleep on a mattress in the bathroom. It is the safest place in my hotel room. Last night, just after 2 am, the sirens started again and I moved from the bathroom to the shelter. Then Kyiv started shaking. russia launched another massive https://t.co/2GjUQYt9ax #Kyiv #Ukraine #WarPain #UA #RU

September 1 should be about children going back to school. Instead, russia made sure many in Kyiv & the region spent the night before the first bell in shelters, under another wave of attacks. Cities should be welcoming children back to classrooms today, not counting the dead. https://t.co/9vNuA2ZYJN #Kyiv #Russia #BackToSchool #RU #UA

❗️Μερικές φορές σταματάς για ένα σκυλί… και τελικά συναντάς ανθρώπους. ❤️🐾 ❗️Την είδα ξαπλωμένη ήσυχα σ’ ένα μικρό στενάκι, κάτω από ένα υπόστεγο. Ηλικιωμένη πια, κουρασμένη, με τα αρθριτικά της… ❗️Σταμάτησα και άρχισα να τραβάω. ❗️Και τότε, εντελώς τυχαία, πέρασε μια κυρία. Σταμάτησε, την πλησίασε, τη χάιδεψε και τη φώναξε με το όνομά της. ❗️Τη ρώτησα αν τη φροντίζει. ❗️«Ναι», μου είπε. «Η οικογένειά μου. Οι γονείς μου μένουν από πάνω και τη φροντίζουμε». ❗️Ξεκίνησαν κάποτε με μια μικρή κουβερτούλα. Και σιγά σιγά αυτό το σημείο έγινε το σπίτι της. Εκεί μένει χειμώνα–καλοκαίρι. Εκεί νιώθει ασφαλής. Εκεί υπάρχουν άνθρωποι που τη γνωρίζουν, τη φροντίζουν και τη χαϊδεύουν. ❗️Και απέναντι; Απέναντι μένει ένα άλλο, μαύρο σκυλάκι. Ο φίλος της. ❤️ ❗️Μέσα σε λίγα δευτερόλεπτα, αυτό που έμοιαζε με μια θλιμμένη εικόνα έγινε μια μικρή ιστορία ανθρωπιάς. ❗️Δεν χρειάζονται πάντα μεγάλα πράγματα. Μια κουβέρτα. Ένα πιάτο φαγητό. Λίγο νερό. Ένα χάδι. Ένας άνθρωπος που νοιάζεται. Κι ένας φίλος απέναντι… ❗️Μπράβο σ’ αυτή την οικογένεια. Μπράβο στους ανθρώπους που δεν προσπερνούν. ❗️Γιατί ο τρόπος που φερόμαστε στα πιο αδύναμα πλάσματα γύρω μας λέει πολλά για την κοινωνία που θέλουμε να είμαστε. ❗️Αν πιστεύετε ότι τέτοιες μικρές πράξεις ανθρωπιάς αξίζει να ακούγονται, μοιραστείτε αυτή την ιστορία. ❤️🐾 ❗️Sometimes you stop because of a dog… and end up discovering the kindness of people. ❤️🐾 ❗️I saw her lying quietly in a small passageway, sheltered beneath a roof. She is old now, tired, and suffering from arthritis… ❗️I stopped and started filming. ❗️And then, completely by chance, a woman walked by. She stopped, approached her, stroked her gently and called her by her name. ❗️I asked if she was the one taking care of her. ❗️“Yes,” she told me. “My family does. My parents live upstairs and we take care of her.” ❗️It all started with a small blanket. Little by little, this place became her home. She stays there winter and summer. It is where she feels safe, surrounded by people who know her, care for her and give her affection. ❗️And across the way? Another black dog lives there. Her friend. ❤️ ❗️Within a few seconds, what at first looked like a sad scene turned into a beautiful little story of humanity. ❗️It doesn’t always take something extraordinary. A blanket. A bowl of food. Some water. A gentle touch. Someone who cares. And a friend across the way… ❗️Well done to this family. And to every person who chooses not to simply walk past. ❗️Because the way we treat the most vulnerable creatures around us says a great deal about the kind of society we want to be. ❗️If you believe these small acts of kindness deserve to be seen, share this story. ❤️🐾 #AnimalLove #KindnessMatters #RespectAnimals #Dogs #Φιλοζωία #Φιλοζωία #Ανθρωπιά #Σκύλοι

Roads washed away. Villages cut off. Families searching for missing loved ones. The flash floods in Nepal have shattered communities already rebuilding from past disasters. The EU stands with them, releasing €1MIL. to bring urgent healthcare, food, water & shelter #EUSolidarity https://t.co/QjjB99QxV9 #NepalFloods #EUSolidarity #DisasterRelief #NP #EU

I woke up to the air-raid sirens at 3.00 am. I can still hear them in my head. I will never get used to that sound. russia was attacking again. I ran to the shelter, where many other guests from my hotel had already gathered, and stayed there most of the night. We heard https://t.co/xV9kuVMLVA #AirRaidSiren #RussiaUkraineConflict #ShelterInPlace #RU

I condemn the latest gang attack on Kenscoff, a commune on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince, in Haiti, that reportedly killed at least 47 people, including 22 who were reportedly executed in a church compound where they had found shelter.  The relentless gang attacks on #Haiti #GangViolence #Kenscoff #HT
