Emptiness everywhere you go. No kids in school, no food in warehouses, no medicine in clinics. What’s missing tells the story of #Haiti’s crisis. Read more here.

Conflict is starving #Sudan's children, with the most lethal form of malnutrition surging in different parts of the country. In North Darfur, the number of severely malnourished children has doubled. Vital aid must reach them before it's too late. We need access & funding now.
The number of severely malnourished children has doubled in North Darfur as the nutrition crisis deepens across Sudan. “Children’s lives depend on whether the world chooses to act or look away.” - @UNICEFSudan’s Sheldon Yett. Details. ⬇️.

UN Humanitarian Air Service is lifeline for millions of people who need aid in tough places to reach. Read more from @WFP here👇.
UNHAS ✈️🚁 is not just a transport service, in many places, it is the first link in the humanitarian response chain. Without it, there is no access. Without access, there is no aid. Read the #UNHAS Annual Review 2024 👉

The cholera outbreak in Sudan is accelerating – fuelled by conflict, displacement and collapsing health and water systems. I’ve released $5 million from our emergency fund @UNCERF to prevent the spread.

Thank you @Tammamo and @newhumanitarian for challenging and thoughtful questions. A chance to unpack political dynamics around this moment of flux and uncertainty for humanitarian movement.
“It's not just a financing crisis. It's a crisis of morale and legitimacy.” #RethinkingHumanitarianism guest @UNReliefChief @TFletcher talks to @Tammamo about the “ humanitarian reset”, and what stands in the way of deeper change. 🎧:

Incredible portraits by Vincent Tremeau now on display at the #WorldExpo. ‘One Day I Will’ gives voice to children caught up in humanitarian crises – a reminder of why we do what we do. Every child deserves safety, dignity, and a chance to dream.

We need more funding for initiatives like this across Afghanistan—empowering women and girls with skills, livelihoods and dignity. I visited this centre in Kandahar and heard directly from young women how this opportunity is transforming their lives. @SimaBahous @unwomenchief.
.@UNReliefChief saw first-hand how green jobs are being created for women in Kandahar, making reusable sanitary products at a centre run by our partner, Safe Path Prosperity. The centre also offers awareness sessions on mental and menstrual health, business management and more.

Excellent discussion in Berlin with German Foreign Minister @AussenMinDE on the reform of the humanitarian system.
Krisen & Konflikte nehmen dramatisch zu. Auch aufgrund weltweit sinkender Mittel sind @UNReliefChief Fletcher & ich uns einig: Wir müssen humanitäre Hilfe besser koordinieren & effizienter einsetzen. Als einer der größten Geber unterstützt 🇩🇪 die Reform des humanitären Systems.
