87 days. 87 million lives. One global test of solidarity.

In 2026, humanitarians need $23B to reach 87 million people whose lives are on the line.

We’re counting down to early March to rally support.

The measure of our humanity is how we treat our children.

On #WorldChildrensDay, I’m thinking of children in Gaza, Sudan, Haiti, Ukraine and far beyond – who have the right to learn, play & grow without fear.

Protecting children is not optional. It is our shared responsibility.

I spent yesterday in Korma with survivors of El Fasher atrocities. So many halting, harrowing conversations in Arabic, or translated from Zaghawa, about horror and misery.

Then Haseena pushed through crowd. Speaking in perfect English, she wanted the world to hear her story.

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

In eastern #DRCongo, hundreds of thousands of people are forced to flee due to ongoing violence.

Humanitarian access is shrinking, warehouses looted, families trapped without aid.

Here are6️⃣things to know on this unfolding crisis⤵️

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

Thousands of people have fled El Fasher, #Sudan, seeking safety from relentless attacks.

Many arrived in Tawila, dehydrated, injured and traumatized.

The UN and aid organizations are providing life-saving support. But the violence must stop❗

🚨 We need a ceasefire now.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

El Fasher is at breaking point. People are trapped and fighting is advancing further into the city.

Ceasefire now, in El Fasher, in Darfur and throughout Sudan.

Millions of Palestinians in #Gaza need life-saving aid.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

UN and partners distributed hundreds of thousands of hot meals and bread bundles – in the south and in the north.

Cooking gas entered the Strip. More tents for displaced families, frozen meat, fresh fruit, flour and medicines also crossed into Gaza throughout day.

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

We've finally been able to put our humanitarian scale-up into motion, bringing hope and relief to #Gaza.

On Sunday, vital aid including medicine, food, fuel and, for the first time in months, cooking gas entered the Strip.

Humanitarians need the world's support to keep going.

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

In #Gaza, people finally dare to hope again.

Families are on the move, searching for safety and a chance to rebuild.

Aid teams are scaling up food, shelter and medicine to reach the most vulnerable.

#Ceasefire

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

Brutal funding cuts are costing lives.

⚠️ Food aid slashed
⚠️ Children dying due to malnutrition
⚠️ Displaced families left without support

And it's getting worse...

Every dollar withheld means another life at risk.
This is the toll on the ground ⬇️

Behind every #UNGA, are hundreds of colleagues working tirelessly to keep things running for the thousands of guests we host.

Meet Ambrose – whose service and positivity lift our spirits and whom I have learnt from through our conversations. Thank you for keeping us going!💙

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Thanks, @UNReliefChief, for the time -- and, even more, for all you and your staff do to address humanitarian crises from Sudan to Gaza, DRC to Haiti. The world may be a mess, but it's much better than it would be without all that @UNOCHA does.
