The latest IPC results show that humanitarian action is now making a difference in Gaza. Let’s build on this to ensure no one faces acute food insecurity and malnutrition. That needs a sustained ceasefire, full access, stronger commercial flows, and livelihood recovery.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

We must ensure more young people are part of debate on climate crisis action.

My interview with @Dawn_News from Islamabad👇

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

In Hunza, I heard the way that the direct danger from climate crisis is changing the vocabulary of communities.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

For Nasreen and so many others in Hunza, choices made far away are creating the floods that threaten her life and livelihood.

We’re helping her community install early warning systems and build defences. But it’s not enough.

We need bolder global leadership on climate.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

A place of beauty and danger.

Our failure to slow vandalism of our climate is making more places uninhabitable.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Visited Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority @NDMApk with Chairman Lt. Gen Inam to build our preparations for the climate disasters ahead.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Arrived in Gilgit-Baltistan.

Communities have lived here in the high places for millennia. But rising temperatures are causing flash floods, landslides and avalanches. A landscape and a way of life is threatened.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Excellent to meet Foreign Minister @javierachapma in Panama City to discuss our lifesaving effort in Venezuela and enhancing our preparedness in Panama, including for El Niño.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

So many people lost everything in the earthquakes in Venezuela.

UN, NGO and local humanitarians have been there for them, and we will be there for them through the long work ahead.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

The Humanitarian Reset in action.

As we transition from earthquake search and rescue to support for survivors, humanitarians are working in a prioritised, coordinated way. At this centre in La Guaira, Venezuela, we’re helping 2000 people through their moment of upheaval.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

We know how to stop Ebola. We have a plan and the people to deliver it.

To deliver we need full access and more investment in preparedness.

Any delay will be measured in lives lost.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Coordination sounds boring. But when disaster strikes, it saves lives.

Responding to Venezuela earthquakes over last fortnight demanded watertight alignment of local authorities, states, search and rescue teams, private sector, and NGOs.

This is the stadium where it happens.

My interview with @AJEnglish on the devastation in Venezuela after the earthquakes and our plan for a coordinated, impartial, scaled-up humanitarian response. 👇

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Imagine waiting by your ruined home in desperate hope that if rescue teams fall silent it might be because they hear your child.

Is more help coming? There must be only one answer to their question.

My message from Caracas at global Ministerial Conference on earthquakes.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Gracias a la Presidenta Encargada @delcyrodriguezv por nuestra conversación constructiva sobre cómo ampliar la respuesta humanitaria frente a los devastadores terremotos.

Reafirmamos nuestra solidaridad con el pueblo de Venezuela.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Acabo de llegar a Venezuela. Ahora rumbo a La Guaira.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Just arrived in Venezuela. Heading to La Guaira.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Massive coordinated surge of global search and rescue teams to Venezuela.

My interview on @BBCNews:

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

To the Venezuelan people, to those whose loved ones are under the rubble, know that we are determined that help gets to you.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Extraordinary people, doing extraordinary work.
