Looking at crisis and development from all sorts of angles

[KingdomNL at UN @KingdomNL_UN]

The UN and its Charter were created to “save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.”

We honored the thousands who lost their lives. #KingdomNL Lt Cl Van Hooren laid a wreath remembering over 4,600 missing sailors and service members who never returned home.

With EU 🇪🇺 support, @UNDP is clearing a huge waste dump in Gaza - equivalent to 140 Olympic swimming pools of rubbish and debris.

It's a critical step in tackling the war-induced solid waste crisis and in protecting the health of nearby communities.

Roads are being cleared through a @UNDP project, allowing aid trucks to drive through and giving us access to people in need of aid.

More trackers and bulldozers are urgently needed in Gaza.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

The Gaza Famine is the world’s famine. A preventable, predictable famine. 

Enough. Ceasefire. Open all crossings, north and south. Let us get food in, unimpeded and at massive scale.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Incredible leadership in one of the toughest of jobs and through tough times. Thank you, @ASteiner, for your courage, wisdom, drive and compassion.
You leave a great legacy.

NEW | #HDR2025

Human development progress has slowed. With traditional development pathways shrinking, we must look to new avenues to get back on track.

Enter #AI and the possibilities it holds. But its revolutionary power is a matter of choice.

A pleasure 🙏 to meet the resilient & enterprising @UNDPEthiopia team led by @GbaydeeDoe.

Especially happy to have met our female driver Melat, who drove us in Tigray.

Their work on #EarlyRecovery & development brings hope to communities uprooted by conflict & #ClimateChange

Israel has rejected South Africa’s claims that it is carrying out a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and has asked the International Court of Justice to dismiss the case.
