So we know the @FCDOGovUK has to make tough choices. But the 80% cut of water sanitation and hygiene aid makes no sense on a number of levels. 
Itâs madness in the midst of a pandemic to cut coverage of a proven public health measure for combatting COVID, and for Ebola that has re-emerged in West Africa as @sallyhayd reports https://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/africa/terrified-locals-in-sierra-leone-brace-for-another-ebola-outbreak-1.4540717
The Govt is reducing its ability to achieve one of its stated ambitions of ending preventable deaths esp maternal and child deaths.

Depriving the poorest people in the world of access to clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene and the wrong thing to do, and we need to put it right. But donât just take my word for it. https://twitter.com/justinwelby/status/1387728993563070470
