Last month, Russia vetoed a draft resolution seeking to prevent the placing of a nuclear weapon in space. Russiaโ€™s counter-resolution today was not serious. It was a cynical attempt to distract from reports Moscow is developing a new satellite carrying a nuclear device.

The UK would not support an expanded operation in Rafah without a very clear plan for how to protect people and save lives. We have not seen that plan. We urge Israel to let humanitarian aid enter Gaza through all crossings, including reopening Rafah.

Sudan is on the brink of a highly dangerous escalation of violence. The situation in El Fasher is appalling, with destruction of hospitals and horrific casualties. This must end. We are stepping up our diplomatic efforts and doing all we can to save lives.

UK aid has been delivered across the temporary pier off Gaza with more to come in the weeks ahead. But maritime routes are not enough. We need more land routes open, including via the Rafah crossing.

The first shipment of UK aid has successfully been delivered across the temporary pier off Gaza. Our Armed Forces alongside our partners have played a central role in delivering this support. More land routes must open so much more aid gets to where it's needed most.

Yemen is suffering one of the worldโ€™s worst humanitarian crises. More than half of the population is in need of humanitarian assistance. Nearly half of all Yemeni children under five are suffering from stunting due to years of malnutrition. UK aid is being increased to help โคต๏ธ

Reports of a rise in genocide denial, glorification of war criminals and attacks on returnees in Bosnia and Herzegovina are concerning. Over 30 yrs on from the Dayton Peace Agreement, we urge actors to set aside their differences and work for a more stable and prosperous future.

It is a tragedy that a UN staff member was killed and a second seriously injured while travelling in southern Gaza. My thoughts are with their families. As I said in my call with the @UN โ€™s Sigrid Kaag yesterday, the UK condemns all attacks on aid workers and we support the UNโ€™s

Russia is deliberately attacking Ukraineโ€™s electricity infrastructure. And theyโ€™re using weapons made in Iran. Russia wants to terrorise civilians and break their resolve. But we will not let them succeed.

Attacks by extremists on aid convoys en route to Gaza are appalling. Gazans are at risk of famine and in desperate need of supplies. Israel must hold attackers to account and do more to allow aid in โ€“ I will be raising my concerns with the Israeli government.

The Houthis are now threatening to attack ships in the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean Sea These attacks do nothing to help the people of Yemen. @UNReliefChief today outlined the scale of the humanitarian crisis โ€“ we call on the international community to help fund the aid plan.

The UN Security Council calls for immediate, independent, thorough, comprehensive, transparent and impartial investigations into mass graves discovered at the Nasser and Al Shifa medical facilities in Gaza. There needs to be accountability for violations of international law.
