Civilians in #Gaza are being starved and killed, and we are prevented from helping them. This is Gaza today, even after 7 months of horrors.

Unprecedented flooding in #Brazil has shattered records unseen in 150 years, starkly illustrating the severe humanitarian impacts of extreme weather events and climate change. Full solidarity from @UNOCHA and partners and we stand ready to support the Government's response.

The flames of war in #Sudan are threatening to engulf El Fasher. Reports of intensifying clashes in the city are deeply alarming. The people of Darfur need more food, not more fighting. The parties must uphold their obligation to keep civilians safe and immediately de-escalate.

Insightful two days in Istanbul with all Humanitarian Coordinators at our annual retreat. It is my privilege to count myself as your colleague. Continue to listen, continue to make our response better, continue to push our boundaries.

The conflict in Gaza is at another critical juncture. The decisions that are made today and their consequences in human suffering will be remembered by the generation that follows us. Let us be ready for their reproaches.

As #ElNi ño-induced floods worsen in #Kenya , I'm releasing $3M from @UNCERF to provide aid for 150K affected people. With Tropical Cyclone Hidaya threatening further heavy rains along the coast, we are closely monitoring the situation and are prepared to respond promptly.

Floods driven by #ElNi ño have ravaged Kenya, Somalia, Tanzania and other parts of East Africa, causing significant loss of life and disruption. We're working with partners and local authorities to intensify relief efforts and remain steadfast to support those most vulnerable.

Another dark day for the humanitarian community in #Sudan . The killing of aid workers is unconscionable. Those who risk everything to help others must be protected. Humanitarian workers are #NotATarget .

It’s with a heavy heart we share that two of our drivers were killed by gunmen today in South #Darfur , #Sudan . Three other ICRC staff were injured. The ICRC's priority is to support those most affected by this tragedy, in particular the victims’ relatives, and colleagues.

#ElNi ño is intensifying weather extremes, affecting 30M people in Southern Africa with the harshest mid-season drought in over a century. I’ve allocated $13.5M from @UNCERF to bolster early action & response and enhance community resilience against the climate crisis.

Central and northern regions of #Mali are currently grappling with two simultaneous crises: a sharp deterioration of food insecurity levels, and the arrival of 70,000 refugees fleeing from neighbouring countries. I'm allocating $11M from @UNCERF to address this dual crisis.

Decades of conflict have displaced 7.2M people in #DRCongo . To avert a humanitarian catastrophe, we need urgent action to close the funding gap, secure unimpeded access, and above all, the political will to end the violence once and for all. Statement by @IASCCH principals:

More than ever, I believe it is time for a step change in how we deliver humanitarian assistance. I shared some thoughts on how we can do that with participants in this year’s Humanitarian Networks and Partnership Week #HNPW .

The recent attacks on healthcare facilities in #Haiti are shocking and alarming. Health facilities must be protected. They are #NotATarget .

The health system in #Haiti is on the brink of collapse. @WHO is deeply concerned about the impact of violence on hospitals and health centers in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area, where less than 50% of facilities are functioning at normal capacity. And those that remain…

Half the population of the Central African Republic - or 2.8 million people - need humanitarian aid. I thank @UNOCHA 's Donor Support Group for taking the time to travel to CAR to learn about their needs, the importance of additional support and the value of the @UNCERF & @CBPFs

An escalation of hostilities in #Sudan 's El Fasher would be catastrophic. Civilians there are already struggling to survive hunger & deprivation. They must be spared from violence. I call on the parties to protect civilians & ensure safe passage for those who flee to safety.

In my visit to #DRCongo last year, I saw firsthand the immense challenges - nearly 1 in 4 Congolese faces acute hunger. Yet, their astonishing resilience shines through. They deserve peace & prosperity that reflect this richly abundant land. My remarks:
