These photos are from today. Families and children, returning to @UNRWA schools in Khan Younis to seek "safety" and "shelter". The classrooms are torched. Walls are blown out. There is rubble everywhere. This situation is unfolding under the world's watch. Enough is enough.

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.

"People who have already been displaced are being displaced again," moving into western #Rafah or elsewhere – but the danger is there too. @UNRWA Sam Rose tells @CNN people in #Gaza are being pushed into ruins of destroyed buildings & amidst squalid conditions. Nowhere is safe.

I condemn the recent attack on @UNRWA 's Headquarters in East Jerusalem. Targeting aid workers and humanitarian assets is unacceptable, and must stop.

. @UNLazzarini holds one of the most challenging positions in the whole of the @UN . As head of @UNRWA , he's helping to lead the humanitarian response in Gaza. On Awake At Night, Philippe reflects on the trauma of the past months & the human cost of war.

Climate hope: The share of global electricity from renewable energy rose to a record 30% last year as the growth of wind and solar power continued to far exceed that of fossil fuels. That trend is set to accelerate.

Without fuel, trucks cannot move critical humanitarian assistance, water pumps will stop functioning & the remaining hospitals will shut down. This happens at a time we are racing against the clock to respond to immense humanitarian needs across the #Gaza Strip. The…

Fascinating exchange with media leaders in Kenya on challenges for the press in these turbulent digital times. It is more vital than ever that free and independent media is robustly supported, here and everywhere.

Good to see: The #Pulitzer Board “recognizes the courageous work of journalists & media workers covering the war in #Gaza . Under horrific conditions, an extraordinary number of journalists have died in the effort to tell the stories of Palestinians & others in Gaza.”

Gaza: A military offensive in Rafah would be devastating for the 1.4 million people sheltering there, with no safe place to go. @UNRWA remains committed to delivering life-saving aid to those in need. Latest humanitarian update from @UNOCHA :
