The death toll in #Gaza has surpassed 30,000 — a large majority women and children.

Over 70,000 Palestinians have been injured.

This horrific violence and suffering must end. Ceasefire.

We need investment in swimming pools, gyms, football and basketball pitches, playgrounds, indoor soft plays and green spaces. Recent years have seen these facilities privatised or shuttered which means exercise becomes a luxury good & out of reach. https://t.co/N31wKE9a32

So immeasurably sad.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

There is so much anger, hate & noise in our world today. Every day & at every turn, it seems – it’s war.

Around the globe & across the range of issues, peace is the missing piece.

People want peace & security.
They want peace & dignity.
They want peace & quiet.

#Measles can be a serious infection that can lead to complications, especially in young children & those with weakened immune systems. Measles spreads easily but it is preventable. Make sure you & your loved ones are up to date with your #MMR jabs or catch up on any missed jabs.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The international system is out of date, out of time, and out of step.

The Summit of the Future in September is a generational opportunity to reform & revitalize multilateralism so that it meets the challenges of today.

I started my @WHO #EB154 remarks yesterday thanking #Bangladesh & @WHOSEARO Member States for electing me.

I ended by thanking Prime Minister #SheikhHasina for teaching me, as my mother, how to lead with compassion & care for those who are disenfranchised and in need.
