I pay tribute to our colleagues & humanitarian partners in Haiti – the vast majority Haitians themselves – who refuse to give up, despite the dangers.
But just over a quarter of our response plan is funded.
Haiti is not asking for charity but for the world to keep its word.
Today, UNIFIL paid tribute to the life and work of Major Zulmi Aditya Iskandar, First Sergeant Muhammad Nur Ichwan, and Corporal Farizal Rhomadon from Indonesia, who lost their lives in two incidents on March 29 and 30 while bravely carrying out their duties in south Lebanon.

.@JencaMiroslav told the Security Council this morning that Israel’s reported new military plan for Gaza risks “another calamity”. He urged an immediate ceasefire, release of all hostages and renewed political efforts for a two-State solution.

What does it say about our legal system when the U.S. Supreme Court refuses to stop an execution even when the county prosecuting agency that handled the original trial files a brief in support of a stay and supports vacating the entire conviction? #MarcellusWilliams
Several children received polio vaccinations as the UN-led campaign began in Gaza. It aims to vaccinate 640,000 children in the Gaza Strip during pauses in fighting https://t.co/fCltHLnad1
We should not approach genocide as a zero sum game, as if claiming genocide for A means no genocide for B. The point is to protect people from genocide. We should cast a big net and have solidarity for all victims of international crimes /2
⛑ @UN agencies moved fast to support those impacted by the wave of Russian aerial assaults that left dozens of people killed or injured across Ukraine today.
In Kyiv, @UNICEF, @WHO, @Refugees, and @UNFPA immediately provided water, hygiene items, and psychological support.
Shocking | Al-Jazeera has released exclusive footage showing the moment Israeli aircraft bombed the entrance of Al-Awda school in the town of Abasan al-Kabira, where displaced innocent civilians had sought shelter.
The attack killed at least 30 Palestinians and injured dozens more, mostly women and children.
"اتصل رئيس ديوان مكتب الأمين العام بالسفير الإسرائيلي. تُجرى المكالمة للدول التي تُدرج حديثا على ملحق تقرير الأمين العام حول الأطفال والصراعات المسلحة. التسجيل بالفيديو الذي قام به السفير إردان للمكالمة والنشر الجزئي للتسجيل على تويتر صادم وغير مقبول".

Abdallah is our @UNRWA colleague & photojournalist who miraculously survived bombardment in northern #Gaza but got severely injured + lost both legs. While he was in Al-Shifa Hospital, he witnessed the horrors of a 2-weeks long siege by the Israeli Forces, before being moved with great difficulty to #Rafah in Southern #GazaStrip for more treatment.
Abdallah’s journey was extremely painful but he is now safe and will finally receive the lifesaving care he needs.
We are extremely grateful to all those who helped especially @Lolwah_Alkhater and @MofaQatar_EN
Humanitarian workers & journalists must be protected at all times #NotATarget
We welcome the results of the independent review of UNRWA by @MinColonna.
It shows that we have a framework to safeguard our neutrality - a key humanitarian principle - and we act when breaches occur.
This is crucial for our aid operation in Gaza and our work across the region.
UNSG @antonioguterres strongly condemns #Iran’s attack on #Israel and expresses deep alarm at “the very real danger of a devastating region-wide escalation.” He urges maximum restraint from all parties. For those who will undoubtedly ask or wonder, the SG previously condemned the attack on the Iranian embassy in Damascus as well. Two statements below.
