Today @ #SoTF, Uganda & G77+ China are critical of financial reform proposals in #PactForTheFuture b/c they don’t go far enough for Developing States carrying massive debts. But they are behind an annual meeting at UNHQ to review progress on regulating AI.
While hunger, diseases, suffering grow in #Gaza, humanitarian workers face increasing challenges to deliver aid.
From poor security to lack of fuel, CARE & other 12 INGOs describe the obstacles to ensure life-saving support reaches people in dire need.

The process to determine the difference between famine or catastrophic #foodinsecurity is irrelevant for people in #Gaza, too many of whom have starved or will never fully recover from the ravages of #hunger.
Our response to the latest from @theIPCinfo: https://t.co/NhtXp4RUrR
Powerful last words to the #UNSC from Dr. Ahmed: "Sudanese women have paid the price of this war, with their lives and with their bodies…[They] are looking to this Council to act now."

Millions of people in #Sudan face starvation.
With @iascch colleagues, I implore:
❗️Conflict parties: stop obstructing aid, agree on a ceasefire, end sexual violence against women & girls.
❗️ Donors: release pledged funds.
There is no time left. We must act now.
Reports from our staff, partners & from the communities in #Rafah where we're working are terrifying.
The words of our colleague Saeed say it all - the fear of what will happen next on top of already unimaginable needs.
There must be a #CeasefireNOW.
#AllEyesOnRafah
The #UNSC vote for an immediate #ceasefire in #Gaza is a positive step forward.
#UNSC members are united in their call to end the fighting, release hostages and allow aid to flood all parts of Gaza. All their diplomatic weight must now be applied to ensure this is implemented, there is no time to lose.

We are about to witness in #Gaza the most intense famine since WWII according to food security expert, Alex De Waal. #CeasefireNOW https://t.co/vhuEW2wehD
Highly recommend SCORE's analysis of 6 months of #Gaza humanitarian response. Shocking photos tell one story but these infographics communicate just how extreme, intense, epic the human toll is in Gaza compared to other emergencies #CeasefireNOW https://t.co/y7wfeQSMMk
The @theIPCinfo report released today shows #famine is imminent in Northern #Gaza.
Global leaders are right to be warning against the use of starvation as a tool of war.
This senseless situation is heartbreaking, not least because it is avoidable.

As Netanyahu has approved plans to attack #Rafah, I repost an appeal by former UN #HumanRights experts for the Security Council & State Parties to the Genocide Convention to prevent the "real &imminent risk of physical destruction of..a substantial part of the Palestinian people"
Proud to be supporting strong women leaders from @careciv @ #CSW68 who are defeating poverty &empowering women & girls thru scaling up Savings Groups in partnership with Govt of Côte d’Ivoire & private sector #GenderEquality
Refreshing honesty at #GenerationEquality#CSW68 event from @aya_chebbi who said “when crisis hits, that’s when feminist funding should double down not disappear”. Yet only 1% of pledged funds 4 women,youth, girls for economic justice have been secured. Time to double down!
On #IWD think of #Afghan women & girls who have lost the right to learn & dream of a future. This is a test for the multilateral system. Where do we draw the redline. When do govts live up to their legal obligation to protect women’s rights? Thanks @Malala@DorothyEstrada@ipinst
Women earn less, occupy fewer leadership roles, and bear the brunt during crises.
Yet, they continue to lead change in their lives and their entire communities.
May this #InternationalWomensDay and every day, we celebrate the unique impact of women's voices and leadership.
#Gaza: "Airdrops are welcome now to help save lives but they're not the best option to deliver aid. Their delivery is not accurate, content is limited & only physically strong people access it. Women, children, elderly will not access the aid." - CARE's Hiba Tibi on @SkyNews.
Thoughtful opinion from #UN veteran Ian Martin on #UNSC reform premised on UK and France relinquishing their permanent seats and veto. https://t.co/l6vzanbbHb
