What an inspiration — every time — to meet Dr Yunus, Chief Adviser of the Government of Bangladesh, one of the few true humanist leaders of our times. I assured him that UNHCR will continue to support Bangladesh as the host of #Rohingya refugees and as it strives to find solutions to their displacement.
Crossing paths in Bangladesh… and kudos to Hadja Lahbib for her tireless travels to places affected by difficult crises. I am proud of the European Union’s solidarity and support for those affected by conflict: because today, more than ever, we need its humanitarian leadership.
The recent earthquake has affected more than 500,000 people in E Afghanistan — aid from donors, including Pakistan, is vital and welcome. Especially given the circumstances, I appeal to the Government of Pakistan to pause the implementation of the Illegal Foreigners Repatriation Plan.
Our 60-day Gaza plan is delivering. Since the ceasefire, we have been able to bring in much more flour, yeast, and fuel for machines. New UN supported bakeries are being opened every day. Visited the latest, where 300,000 pieces of bread are already being produced daily. World Food Programme
