Urgent food & supplies delivered to a hospital inside southern Ukraine. Significant and growing needs in country, particularly for those who do not have the resources to move to other countries. https://t.co/OooE1FKGrF
I've been speaking to children here in Siret on the Romania/ #Ukraine border. Many are fearful and in tears. Our teams are among the first supporting them as this heart-breaking crisis unfolds.
The world must act now to protect the children of Afghanistan. This is "a country that needs us now more than ever", our National Director in Afghanistan, Asuntha Charles, tells @RNBreakfast 📻 https://t.co/3iGvdVRqTV
Afghanistan's children must be protected as schools are closed, food is scarce and families are forced to flee. International humanitarian law must be respected and the lives of Afghan girls and boys, their families, and communities prioritised. https://t.co/nUzKFXu7Ld
More than 60% of the population in Haiti lives in poverty and millions of people live on less than US$2 a day. Girls & boys are paying the biggest price; we must not fail them. #WorldVision#HaitiEarthquake@WorldVision

Welcome @UNReliefChief to this crucial role, at such a critical time. We look forward to continuing to work alongside @OCHA. With 41million people on the edge of starvation, let us continue providing life-saving assistance to the most vulnerable girls & boys #FightFamine.
As a @UNOCHA team of over 2,000, we will continue to do whatever it takes to mobilise and coordinate humanitarian action to make a difference to the most vulnerable amongst us.
I’d also like to thank @SirMarkLowcock for his leadership throughout the years.
I’m honoured to start today as @UNReliefChief. From the pandemic, to conflicts, to climate change, humanitarian work has never been more needed. I will listen to, and speak up for, people whose lives are on the very edge.
Ten years ago a massive #famine in #Somalia killed 260,000 people - half of them children. The world said 'Never Again'. But now >40m people globally are on the edge of starvation. Without action the outcome is obvious. https://t.co/oYofEoeggC
Thank you for your dedicated partnership, & strong leadership at the helm of @UNICEF. You have lifted up the voices of children & transformed lives when hope is needed more than ever. We hold you and your husband in our prayers.
9 million people died of hunger in 2020. The world has to wake up! The media needs to provide balanced news coverage and report on more things that really matter. If starvation of humanity isn't a priority issue that demands our attention, I don't know what is. #SOFI2021#famine
In a few hours' time, the UN Security Council is due to vote on renewing cross-border routes into NW Syria. I urge members to renew the resolution for at least 12 months, so we can continue supporting the most vulnerable now & through the next winter. Lives depend on it. #UNSC
📢PRESS RELEASE: @WorldVision & 10 other aid agencies are warning - the dire situation of +1.7M vulnerable children in Northwest #Syria will get far worse if the #UNSC does not authorise & expand for 12 months cross-border aid delivery to northern Syria.

Tigray in Ethiopia has been beset by months of conflict and drought with millions facing famine-like conditions. We are there, so far reaching 135,000 children with life-saving support.
