The UN is facing sustained threats to its survival. We fight back by defending values not bureaucracy, being problem solvers not problem observers, and putting people who most need us at the heart of our work. Good to spend time with our brilliant UN Resident Coordinators.

Great discussion today at the @DohaForum on how we adapt humanitarian action to rising crises & shrinking resources. We explored what it means to stay principled & effective when needs outpace the system & how to keep people at the centre.

Miles of rubble and deep trauma in Gaza, even as lifesaving aid has been moving again in recent weeks after months of blockages. We must continue the progress, and scale up further in the face of massive needs. My interview with @jimsciutto on @CNN from DC.

Despite immense challenges, humanitarians are delivering life-saving assistance to people who fled violence in El Fasher, North Darfur. ❗ We urgently call for safe, sustained and unhindered humanitarian access across #Sudan so aid can reach those who need it most.

Last month’s earthquake left thousands in northern #Afghanistan without homes and livelihoods. Humanitarians are providing shelter, food and cash assistance. But with winter coming and drought persisting, more support is urgently needed. You can help: https://t.co/jWIrHm3dLv
