Every country I visit is a new opportunity to learn, connect, and strengthen collaborations between young people, governments, and our amazing @UN teams on the ground 🌍🤝. My time in Turkmenistan was no exception — inspired by the energy and commitment to youth here! 🇺🇳🇹🇲✨
“We must do everything possible to ensure the war in #Ukraine is not normalized & civilians are protected.”
🎥 @matzschmale speaks from 📍#Kharkiv, where attacks killed or injured 190+ people in September alone.
Yesterday, another apartment block was hit & civilians injured.
Congratulations to @matzschmale, appointed by @UN chief @antonioguterres, leading our @UNUkraine team on the ground to continue supporting the people of Ukraine in emergency and recovery.

Finishing her two-year mission in Ukraine, the @UN Resident Coordinator Denise Brown, leaves us with the message:
"Do not normalize the war in Ukraine!”
Watch the video as she revisits the cities that experienced tremendous hostilities but still are hopeful for recovery.
A warm welcome to @dtrebucq, our new Resident Coordinator in Georgia. We very much look forward to working towards a just, sustainable, and prosperous future for Georgia under his leadership! #SDGs#UN.
I arrived at the Global Refugee Forum straight from #Gaza & I have to say, it is a living hell.
People of Gaza are running out of time & options as they face bombardment, deprivation & disease in an ever-ever-shrinking space.

IT HAS BEGUN! Today at 10:45 Yemen time, SMIT Salvage began the transfer of more than 1 mln barrels of oil from the decaying #FSOSafer to the replacement vessel Yemen (formerly Nautica). The transfer should be completed in less than three weeks. #StopRedSeaSpill
Truly touched by #AnghamWaSalam Choir's concert, promoting unity & spreading harmony between different communities in 🇱🇧
Thanks to @UNDP_Lebanon & @GermanEmbBeirut thru @KfW_FZ_int & @German_Coop support, we witnessed the transformative power of music in bringing people together.
🚨 It’s International Women’s Day!
A public holiday in 28+ countries, it originated as a demand from the global labour movement.
A day for celebration and strategy. Because as @antonioguterres reminded us yesterday, ‘the patriarchy is fighting back. But so are we!’
#IWD2023
🚨 Happening Now!
The UN/I/NGO Gender Working Group retreat brings together humanitarian, stabilisation and development experts to discuss 🗣️ achievements and priorities to advance #GenderEquality in Lebanon 🇱🇧
Again the de facto authorities in Afghanistan have found new ways to harm women & girls.
The Taliban have now banned women from working in national & international NGOs.
We unreservedly condemn this relentless misogyny & attack on women’s rights:
