The desert, the sea, the fear. Sennait survived them all and found hope at @UNmigration’s centre in Sana’a. Her story reminds us why protection matters and why no one should face this journey alone. https://t.co/IhJ1fQhqqL

Not just interns. Future leaders. System shapers. Voices we need at the table. Today I met with the brilliant minds behind IOM’s internship program. Their questions, their vision, their drive, it’s clear: the next generation isn’t waiting. They’re already leading.

Shared responsibility is what makes global impact possible, it’s what lets IOM act fast. At IOM’s Standing Committee on Programmes and Finance, we showed that we deliver: 26 million lives reached last year, a global presence sustained through crisis.

Plastic pollution is contributing to the climate crisis. It’s a threat to nature, livelihoods, and lives. To #BeatPlasticPollution means protecting the environment, securing jobs, and preventing people from being forced to leave their homes. We must act now!

Hunger has reached historic levels in Haiti. Despite record levels of violence, @WFP has reached 1M+ Haitians every month this year. Parts of the country are on the brink of collapse, with no escape. $53M is urgently needed to sustain our lifesaving operations.

Deeply honored to celebrate the life of #PopeFrancis today in Rome. He truly lived as one who ‘came not to be served but to serve,’ always recognizing the dignity and common humanity of migrants, refugees, and all vulnerable people. His example continues to inspire.
