Important early-morning exchange with EU-colleagues on global humanitarian needs, efficient responses and the devastating situation in #Ukraine. #EuropeanHumanitarianForum in action. #HumanitarianAid #TeamEurope EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺

On average, 5 to 8 humanitarian workers are either killed, kidnapped or abducted per month worldwide.   At today's #EuropeanHumanitarianForum, I reiterated that it is our duty to ensure that our own staff, as well as the staff of our partners can operate safely.   #NotATarget

Managing risk to stay & deliver took a new shape during #COVID19. In #Bangladesh, United Nations with partners supported a medical facility to treat acute cases for personnel, host & refugee communities. Just one example of the daily balance of risk & result. #EuropeanHumanitarianForum

“The European Commission is fully committed to support the people of #Ukraine and we are doing everything within our power to alleviate that human suffering and bring aid to those in need.” - Hans Das, EU Emergency Management Director. #EuropeanHumanitarianForum #StandWithUkraine

Dérèglement climatique, fléaux sanitaires, guerres : plus que jamais, à travers le monde, les défis humanitaires nous obligent. Nous avons voulu faire du premier Forum humanitaire européen un temps fort de la Présidence française du Conseil de l'Union européenne.

During the final day of the #EuropeanHumanitarianForum, I had the unique opportunity to reflect, with partners, on the EU’s humanitarian aid policy priorities for the coming years, as well as the ongoing EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 partnerships.
