“The people of Ukraine have suffered enough.”

We just marked one year of war in #Sudan . So much death, violence, suffering. Yet the world is looking the other way. We are trying to get attention - to fund UN humanitarian aid & most importantly, to promote peace. Some thoughts: link.medium.com/VfVX1NQPRIb

In Gaza, over 1% of the population has been killed, and more than 75% has been displaced.

An unknown number of people are buried under rubble.

People in Gaza need urgent help, but more than anything, they need peace.

The first-ever #UNGA Sustainability Week kicks off on Monday in NYC.

I met with UN GA President to discuss what to expect & our @UN new campaign #ChooseSustainability , which invites people around the world to make a difference for a more sustainable future.

We will be broadcasting the UN Security Council meeting on the situation in the Middle-East live today at 4 PM EST. United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres is set to speak.

#Sudan 'The violence has killed thousands, uprooted millions, & unleashed a humanitarian disaster...Harrowing attacks against civilians are the alarming hallmark of this conflict.'
-Filippo Grandi Martin Griffiths Cindy McCain Catherine Russell aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/…

I strongly condemn the serious escalation represented by the large-scale attack launched on Israel by Iran.

I call for an immediate cessation of these hostilities.

Neither the region nor the world can afford another war. un.org/sg/en/content/…

A tragedy unfolded before our eyes.

One year after the war began, thousands have lost their lives, more than 8.6 million people have lost their homes.

The fighting must stop.

The attacks on civilians must stop.

Enough is enough. dataviz.unhcr.org/products/gotm/…

My statement today to the @IAEAorg Board of Governors meeting on the situation in ZNPP.

Thanks to Ambassador Stavros Lambrinidis for the opportunity you discuss UN efforts to promote information integrity globally. The EU is a forerunner with its Digital Services Act & more which is having positive ripple effects for information environments worldwide.

Incredibly engaging talk w/ Boston University faculty & students on ways to break though in toxic information environments (now fueled by AI) w/ science communications that delivers facts & builds trust.

I got to watch the #PartialSolarEclipse from this fabulous BU Computing & Data Sciences terrace with Professor Yannis Paschalidis and students. It is the largest fossil fuel-free building in Boston.
Great to see my alma mater Boston University moving such in sustainable direction.

An information war has added to the trauma of the war in Gaza - obscuring facts and shifting blame.

Denying international journalists entry into Gaza is allowing disinformation and false narratives to flourish.

'For us, to really be able to scale up, to avert famine so that people don’t have to die because they don’t have food, we need security guarantees for us, as humanitarians but also for the people we serve in Gaza.”

I am deeply troubled by reports that the Israeli military’s bombing campaign includes AI as a tool in the identification of targets, resulting in a high level of civilian casualties.

AI should be used as a force for good to benefit the world; not to contribute to waging war on…

I was so moved to meet MoTaz during his visit to United Nations HQ. He bore crucial witness to the horror of this war through his images of his people in the rubble, dead, injured or survived.
My United Nations_News_Centre colleagues interviewed him:

Deeply moved to open “Witnessing a Way Forward” this past week.

Curated by one of the most courageous people I know, Giles Duley, our new United Nations exhibit explores the powerful stories of those directly affected by land mines. un.org/en/exhibits/ex…

Some 196 humanitarian aid workers – including 175+ members of our own United Nations staff – have been killed.
The vast majority were serving United NationsRWA. Others include colleagues from World Health Organization (WHO) & World Food Programme – as well as MSF International , PRCS, & just a few days ago World Central Kitchen - António Guterres
