@HelenClarkNZ I too add my deepest sympathies and condolences to Nicholas’ family and echo Helen’s tribute. All of us who’ve served at the UN gained a deep respect for Nick and his work and as a colleague - he was always supportive, clear sighted, determined,skilled with real leadership

The world, and especially the States and people of violence and conflict, should heed this. Humanitarians are not a target!

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Mourning 100s of humanitarians killed this year. This is more than a statistical spike - it is normalization of violence against our community.

Each attack is an attack on all of us. Enough.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Deeply shocked and saddened by the passing of our dear friend, colleague and @WHO Envoy David Nabarro.

David was a great champion of global health and health equity, and a wise, generous mentor to countless individuals. His work touched and impacted so many lives across the world.

On behalf of WHO, I’m extending our heartfelt condolences to David’s family, friends and colleagues.

Rest in peace, my dear friend. We will dearly miss your expertise, wisdom and kindness.

@UNReliefChief @UNOCHA @MofaQatar_EN @qatar_fund @qcharityglobal @qcharity @EAA_Foundation @qatarairways @QatarAtUN Glad to agree and endorse 100% ever since this relationship was forged in Doha and New York from 2016 - the State and people of Qatar deserve huge recognition and praise for their steadfast support for the neediest in our world.

[Baroness Laing of Elderslie @EleanorLaingUK]

I’m deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Alistair Darling. Alistair was a towering figure in Scottish and UK politics. We were on different sides of the @HouseofCommons, but it was an honour to work with him to help secure the Union. My heart goes out to his family.

[Rt. Hon. Sir Stephen R O'Brien KBE @StephenROBrien]

@GrandBargain_ @ODI_Global @hpg_odi Delighted to see this progress after we kicked the Grand Bargain off and gave it its global platform at the only ever World Humanitarian Summit in May 2016 (Istanbul).

The UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Syria begged the Assad regime for access to international teams, but there was no response during the 72-hour rescue window. #FaultLine #SyrianEarthquake @UNReliefChief

@WFPChief @UNReliefChief @POTUS This is spectacular! Thank you and this enables so much hope as well saving lives.

[Rt. Hon. Sir Stephen R O'Brien KBE @StephenROBrien]

Our next PM will make an important decision on UK support for @GlobalFund within days of entering that famous No. 10 door. With countless others I urge our new PM to maintain UK’s brilliant record amongst our international allies in ensuring we support strongly the Replenishment.

[Rt. Hon. Sir Stephen R O'Brien KBE @StephenROBrien]

On #ThisWorldMosquitoDay, I’m calling on our next PM to make a strong pledge to @GlobalFund: no child should die from #malaria, a totally avoidable, preventable and treatable disease so long as we have the political will and the sustainable $£€¥ resources. #FightForWhatCounts

[Rt. Hon. Sir Stephen R O'Brien KBE @StephenROBrien]

This year, @GlobalFund is calling on the world to fight for what counts to save 20 million more lives. We need your help! Can we count on you? Add your name to the #FightForWhatCounts petition and tell the world “Count me in!” https://t.co/UNI8dipG9I

Exceptional, brave, harrowing, factual, respectful live reporting. Primary evidence of breaches of #IHL . This should be compulsory viewing by ALL the UN Sec Ccl. Your report took me straight back to Aleppo in 2016. I salute your courage.
