Great to contribute perspectives from INGOs on priorities and proposals and progress, levers to unlock the potential for change at scale.Incentive structures and power balance must change to be more effective as well as efficient. Great session! InterAction #grandBargain

I cannot overstate the importance of this year's Global Humanitarian Overview. We must #InvestInHumanity. Check out some of the main points we highlighted below:

The promise of this nation is real. And the progress that we've made possible during this Administration wasn't just about today, it was about tomorrow. It was about showing that America – and American democracy – works. Not just for the privileged few. But for all of us.

The peaceful transfer of power, the bedrock of democracy. Thank you for your leadership, respect, principles, and public service.

"There has been excellent solidarity from countries around the world and within the UN to put pressure so that this bill [that bans UNRWA from operating] is not implemented," Juliette Touma tells Russia Today. “Our focus is to stay and deliver.”

As a fellow Kansan, thank you Senator Moran for seeing the importance of taking action--lives hang in the balance and this assistance represents the best of us.

Dreadful news. Our humanitarians have done everything possible to save as many lives as we could in Gaza. Immense suffering among survivors. And now this. Everyone with influence must insist this stop.

Devastated to read of this abhorrent attack on civilians and the directed attack on healthcare workers. Sharing outrage that these attacks continue and escalate without any accountability. Calling on the Ministerial Conference to mobilize all parties to resolution.

Heart wrenching news, as the thinnest of lifelines is brutally cut for children, women and men in Gaza. The outrage again of food being available and intentionally withheld. Starvation as a weapon of war is strictly prohibited and deeply immoral.

Tom Fletcher tells #EHF2025 having spoken to Afghan women who lost their babies because aid cuts shut down all nearby health facilities, it really makes him angry to hear the richest people in the world boasting about cutting off aid to the world's most vulnerable

A clear call to defend fundamental values by EU Commissioner Hadja Lahbib. Humanitarian action must be impartial and independent. Stay strong, principled, and stay engaged.#EHF2025

Powerful to hear ⁦Comfort Ero⁩ speak to the cost of Gaza to us all at #EHF2025.we can never say ‘never again’ as long as this crisis is unfolding in front of our eyes. Will Gaza be the cemetery of IHL too?

As the Israeli government’s siege starves the people of #Gaza, humanitarian organisations are witnessing their own colleagues & partners waste away before their eyes. It is time for governments to take decisive action. Read the full joint statement👉 bit.ly/3GPCpAE

Orderly distributions are possible in #Gaza. Since October 2023, we’ve reached 1.7 million people with food, shelter, water, cash assistance and emotional support. With a ceasefire and unimpeded access to aid, we are ready to do more. The need is urgent: brnw.ch/21wUu4o.

Orderly distributions are possible in #Gaza. Since Oct 2023, CRS has reached 1.7M+ people with shelter, food, water, cash assistance & well-being support—despite extreme risks. This is what CRS can do when conditions are possible. We are ready to do more. brnw.ch/21wUCjL

It is possible to bring more relief to Gaza, and humanitarian organizations know how to make it happen. This suffering can end, with the political will to open the crossings to let lifesaving supplies in, facilitate security, and let organizations work.
