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 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.

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.

Kriege kosten Billionen. Ausgaben für humanitäre Hilfe für die Zivilbevölkerung sind vergleichsweise gering. Wir fordern nur 1% der weltweiten Rüstungsausgaben 2024 – um über 100 Millionen Leben zu retten. Mein Gastbeitrag bei @faznet:
