Father who was paralysed in Manchester Arena bombing is climbing Mount Kilimanjaro

A father who was paralysed in the Manchester Arena bombing will climb Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for a spinal cord injury charity.  Martin Hibbert, 44, was the closest person to the explosion to survive the attack on Ariana Grande s concert, which he had attended with his teenage daughter in May 2017, leaving him paralysed from the waist down.  In September, the dad will carry the Paralympic torch from the London Games to the top of Africa’s highest mountain in an attempt to raise money for the Spinal Injuries Association.  Appearing on Good Morning Britain today, Martin told how he will use a custom made hand-operated bike to tackle the peak, and that for those with spinal cord injuries every day is like climbing a mountain . 

Inclusive disaster risk reduction for more resilient Pacific - World

Inclusive disaster risk reduction for more resilient Pacific Format Suva – Strengthening inclusion is the pathway to preventing and reducing disaster and climate risk in some of the Pacific region’s most vulnerable and marginalised communities. In a Pacific-wide discussion, four speakers shared their reflections and experience on how to support and strengthen the climate and disaster resilience of women, children, and persons living with disability, all of whom are disproportionately affected during and after disasters. Ms. Noelene Nabulivou, Co-Founder and Director of DIVA for Equality, said that women and lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, or Intersex people (LGBTI) are often affected by disasters, but can also inform policy making thanks to their strong local knowledge and skills on the ground.
