What will world without international humanitarian law be like? Two ways to find out. Look at history to see what humans do without restraint. Or look at what is happening to civilians in the atrocities labs where humanitarians serve right now: they’re on frontline of impunity.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Nobody cares more about improving the UN than we do. And my humanitarian colleagues on the frontlines show every day why this work matters so much. My interview with @baysontheroad on @AJEnglish:

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Ahead of #UNGA81, I spent 8 days across Sudan. Conflict and climate are driving hunger faster than the response can keep up.
I'm bringing these stories to NY this week, to urge leaders to keep food security at the center of conversations. Waiting for famine is a failure of duty.

[Tom Fletcher @TFletcher]

@RichardGowan1 @UNReliefChief @UNOCHA Wall to wall meetings today, Richard. I promise to meet the insatiable demand for walking and talking UN content soon.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Protect humanitarian action. Back us to save 87m lives this year. Fight for a UN that helps us all be better ancestors.

Our asks of leaders - and the public - as we kick off a huge week at the UN.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Handshakes, meetings and photos are not how humanitarians will measure impact of UN General Assembly next week. We want serious action on the four huge risks running out of control.👇 #UNGA81

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Days until the United Nations corridors become frenzy of diplomatic activity.

The humanitarian community will be here in force, fighting back for our values, for the people we serve, and for our massive, coordinated effort to save 87m lives this year.

👇 #UNGA81

[Jean-Pierre Lacroix @Lacroix_UN]

Today we honor the memory of Nicholas "Fink" Haysom who served for the @UN with humility, conviction and humanity. We carry forward his belief that peace is possible, that justice matters, and that people's dignity and aspirations must remain at the centre of our work.

[Tom Fletcher @TFletcher]

@RichardGowan1 @UNReliefChief I fear not, Richard. 😉

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

What would it cost to save 87m lives this year? Less than 1% of what the world is spending right now on war.

As the biggest week of the year for the United Nations gets close, will world leaders listen? 👇 #UNGA

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

3.8m Syrians have gone home. But mines, insecurity and regional escalation threaten their future. My asks: invest in recovery, clear mines, keep Syria out of regional conflict. Syrian people are meeting this moment. We must meet it too.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Counting down the days for the biggest week for the United Nations.

Will world leaders come prepared to take the tough decisions to meet the moment? 👇 #UNGA81

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Just a few days until these corridors are full of world leaders. The critics of the UN and humanitarian action are also out in force.

Can we prove them wrong?👇 #UNGA

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Many more lives will be lost unless we get ahead of this Ebola outbreak.

The humanitarian community has the tools, courage and expertise. We need access and resources.

[UN Humanitarian @UNOCHA]

First day on the job.

A warm welcome to Mohamed Yahya, our new UN Deputy Relief Chief.

Welcome to OCHA, @Momalindi!

New Humanifesto. Drones and the road of death in Ukraine, Colombia earthquake, floods in Nepal. Humanitarians under attack. Plus Odyssey, Hansard and culture change. And much more. 👇

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

We’re seeing huge devastation in Nepal. Hundreds dead and missing. Roads gone. Bridges swept away.

We are facing huge obstacles to reach people and save lives.

Interview on @CNN:

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

We are fully mobilised and coordinated in response to the terrible Nepal floods. Here’s how it works.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Battlefield technology may be changing at terrifying pace, but rules of war must still apply.

Or we all face chilling reality that Ukrainians face now.
