I allocated $12 million from CERF - The UN's emergency fund to address the dire situation in #Haiti .
Unending gang violence has displaced 50,000 people, pushed 5 million into acute hunger and weakened an already fragile health system.
These funds will enable aid partners to reach the hardest-hit.
Thank you, Christiane Amanpour, for the opportunity to highlight the humanity that binds us, even in the face of war.

Thank you محمد بن عبدالرحمن Prime Minister and MFA for the State of Qatar, for today’s crucial meeting.
#Qatar is a global leader in humanitarian diplomacy and an invaluable partner to the United Nations. 🇶🇦🇺🇳
The climate crisis is a humanitarian crisis and World Meteorological Organization's latest report has shocking examples to prove it:
❗1.7 mil people displaced by Cyclone Mocha
❗1.8 mil displaced by flooding in Greater Horn of Africa
and many more...
We need urgent action now!
We live in an age of war.
An age in which reaching for the gun is the first option.
An age in which humanitarian access is treated as optional, or indeed wielded as a weapon of war.
Thank you 🇪🇺EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 for engaging discussion.
