The humanitarian crisis in Syria must remain a global priority. More than half of the population is food insecure, with stunting and malnutrition reaching unprecedented levels. @Ghada16374 Mudawi briefed the UN Security Council today.

Investing in school feeding is not only a smart way to boost school enrolment and tackle malnutrition, but also an opportunity to support local economies. That’s why 80% of African governments have put in place school feeding policies. On to 100%! #ADSF

The people of Sudan have been robbed of the future they deserve. It was an honor to moderate this high-level #UNGA event on Sudan. As @UNReliefChief said, let’s resolve to say: not on our own watch, to the most cruel humanitarian catastrophe in the world today.

Martin Luther King spent his entire life fighting against apartheid and injustice. He continues to inspire us to stand up for human rights and fight against racism. #MLKDay
