After 11+ weeks of blockade, truckloads of @UN aid are now temporarily allowed into Gaza.
It’s a vital step, but a drop in the ocean of urgent needs.
Through the #UN2720 Mechanism, we’re working round-the-clock to facilitate the entry & distribution of much-needed aid.
A special day for an extraordinary man.
As I said today, each of us will leave this world twice. Once when we physically leave the world, and the second time when our name is spoken for the last time. We can take great comfort in knowing that Uncle Alex will outlive us all.
The climate crisis demands urgent action.
Around the world, we’re committed to supporting communities & countries to prepare for our future climate.

My time working with Alec was the most challenging, the most rewarding, and the most cherished of memories. I am devastated that he is no longer with us. (1/3)
Many people across Scotland believed in Alex Salmond.
All he asked was that Scotland believed in itself.
We owe it to ourselves to carry that belief forward.
We will look back to the memory of Alec & forward to a brighter future than perhaps even he could have imagined. (2/3)
Recognized as agents of change, young people are at the frontlines – driving sustainable development & progress towards the #2030Agenda.

May the memory of Srebrenica strengthen our collective resolve to build a world free from the scourge of genocide, where justice & peace prevail.
We must fight against division and intolerance, stand up for human rights, and promote mutual understanding and reconciliation.
I'm in Herat, Afghanistan, witnessing firsthand @UNOPS response to the earthquake. Working alongside partners, we're focused on rescue, recovery, & debris clearance & immediate cash support to 48K affected families. Immediate and mid-term recovery remains our priority.

The world is failing to get a grip on the climate crisis.
Global ambition stagnated over the past year & national plans are strikingly misaligned with the science.
#COP28 must be the place to urgently close the climate ambition gap. https://t.co/8ckVNyR0Ar

Access to affordable health care saves lives.
To beat AIDS – and build resilience against the pandemics of tomorrow – we need collective action. Governments must ensure everyone has access to the health services they need regardless of their economic status.
