This week, I’ve been sharing a piece of card with leaders.

10 access asks. 11m lives we can save if we can reach them.

Don’t back humanitarian diplomacy in abstract terms. Back us to get food, medicine and education through.

Let’s hold each other to account for delivering.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

As I leave Syria after four days, I pay tribute to the Syrian women and girls I had the privilege of meeting during the trip.

The suffering they have endured is haunting. Their strength is inspiring. Their voices must be heard.

Here are some of their stories.

We're witnessing the catastrophic impact on civilians on the ground. This conflict must stop now.

#WorldHumanitarianDay #ActForHumanity

[OCHA Lebanon @OCHALebanon]

With minimal resources & regularly at risk, humanitarians in 🇱🇧 are aiding 100s of 1000s. If inaction leads to loss of hope in humanity, they restore our faith in it.

World leaders should #ActForHumanity & hold those who harm civilians accountable.

@Imran_Riza Statement:

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

19 August is #WorldHumanitarianDay.

Civilians and aid workers in conflict zones are being killed, injured, attacked and abducted despite international laws in place to protect them.

It's time to demand accountability - urge those in power to #ActForHumanity.
