Blocking aid starves civilians. It leaves them without basic medical support. It strips them of dignity and hope. It inflicts a cruel collective punishment. Blocking aid kills.

Happy to be spending the next few weeks at the UN's institue for training and research UNITAR. Learning lots about the training offered by the organisation- more than 500,000 people trained last year!

Every year, millions already living in internal displacement are joined by those fleeing for the first time. Many are forced to move again and again. Governments and their partners must invest in recovery & lasting solutions. More in #GRID2025 👇 bit.ly/4dhB2qb

For nearly 80 days, Israel blocked the entry of life-saving international aid into Gaza. The entire population is facing the risk of famine. Families are being starved and denied the very basics. All with the world watching in real time.

Overnight, a massive air attack across #Ukraine killed at least a dozen people, including children, and injured dozens more. Homes, schools, and other civilian facilities were hit. Civilians once again bore the brunt of the war. #NotATarget

A targeted strike hit a joint World Food Programme UNICEF convoy in Sudan.   5 convoy team members were killed. Trucks torched. Food for families facing famine in El Fasher—destroyed.   This is unconscionable. Humanitarians are #NotATarget. We demand safe, unhindered access NOW.

In my final #UNDPEB as Administrator, my parting message to our Board Members, our partners, and all those we serve around the world is that we must not give up on development. My speech: go.undp.org/UeP

I am deeply saddened to announce the killing of our UN Development colleague, Ramzi Khader, and many of his family members in an Israeli airstrike on their home in Gaza. This deplorable and indiscriminate killing of civilians & humanitarian workers must STOP NOW! go.undp.org/Uh7

Refugees and displaced people continue to be well over 120 million worldwide. With conflicts raging, peacemaking on life support and wars fought in total disregard for the lives of civilians, more and more people flee in fear. Our annual report👇🏻 unhcr.org/global-trends

Forced displacement has almost doubled in the past decade, yet humanitarian resources remain nearly the same. Behind the numbers are real people. Urgent action is needed to address this growing human tragedy. More in new UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency report: unhcr.org/global-trends
