Hiroshima and Nagasaki showed the world that the effects of nuclear weapons cannot be contained to a battlefield, a moment, or a generation.

Any use would risk catastrophic human suffering on a scale that no humanitarian response could adequately address.

Nuclear weapons must never be used again.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

We mark the 81st anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima at a time when nuclear sabers are rattled once again in the name of power & coercion.

But peace is not secured through fear & might.

It's built through trust, diplomacy, international cooperation & an unwavering commitment to international law.

Let’s choose dialogue over division & cooperation over confrontation to move closer to a world where the tragedy of Hiroshima is never repeated.

Hate speech incites violence, undermines diversity and social cohesion, and threatens the common values and principles that bind us together.

Choose respect, tolerance, and inclusion, say #NoToHate.

Global hunger declined for a third consecutive year in 2025, proving that progress is possible.

Yet 645 million people still faced hunger & 2.1 billion experienced food insecurity.

The right to food must become a reality for all.

In conflict, civilians always pay the highest price.

War is not the answer.

We need peace.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

Refugees. Migrants. They’re not the same.

Blurring the two terms takes attention away from the specific legal protections refugees require.

Sometimes I wonder whether Zelensky is deliberately provoking the Poles in the hope that they will send Ukrainians back home.

The men are cannon fodder. The women are cheap labor.

Dear Poles, don't let this bloodstained clown destroy the future of more than a million people who fled this so-called "country of four freedoms."

Many of them come from Eastern Ukraine — a region that never revered the UPA. Quite the opposite: generations were raised with the belief that the UPA were criminals, not heroes.

Dire conditions are trapping children in Gaza in an endless cycle of suffering.

Palestinians combed the debris of deadly overnight Israeli strikes on Gaza City. The ceasefire brokered by US President Trump has failed to halt Israeli attacks in Gaza and left Israel in control of more than half the enclave https://t.co/JHQ8kaNPZB

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

In 2025, humanitarians were killed in record numbers.

Most were local aid workers, serving their own communities.

The world cannot look away as humanitarians continue to be killed.

Humanitarians must be protected.

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

A new @OHCHR_Palestine report warns that killings, displacement, and humanitarian suffering continue despite the ceasefire in Gaza and the West Bank.

UN officials are calling for accountability and protection of civilians.

Fact: Humankind is polluting water in rivers and lakes faster than nature can recycle & purify.

💧 Whoever you are, whatever you do, wherever you live, we all have a shared responsibility to change the future of water. 💧

The speed and scale of online hate speech is a global challenge.

Let's stand together to combat this scourge.

Say #NoToHate.

Failure to suspend Israel from Eurovision, as it continues to commit genocide in Gaza, unlawful occupation and apartheid against Palestinians, is an act of cowardice and double standards. #HumanityMustWin

Gaza: Six months into the ceasefire, hunger continues to shape daily life and malnutrition levels remain high.

@WFP is on the ground supporting those most in need, but aid alone is not enough for full recovery.
