Arrived in Gilgit-Baltistan. Communities have lived here in the high places for millennia. But rising temperatures are causing flash floods, landslides and avalanches. A landscape and a way of life is threatened.

La resiliencia de los venezolanos es extraordinaria. En menos de dos minutos, miles de personas lo perdieron todo por los terremotos. Ahora debemos seguir brindando agua, alimentos, refugio, protección y solidaridad con resultados concretos.

Coercive displacement means millions of civilians on the move in Lebanon. I heard today in Beirut deep uncertainty, stretched resilience, growing frustration and fear. People told me they want safety, dignity, and to go home.

We must not forget #Sudan. Almost 10 months of conflict have robbed the people of Sudan of nearly everything. We are appealing for US$4.1 billion to meet the needs of civilians inside the country and those who have fled to neighbouring countries.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

The Gaza Famine is the world’s famine. A preventable, predictable famine. Enough. Ceasefire. Open all crossings, north and south. Let us get food in, unimpeded and at massive scale.

We’re working hard across the humanitarian community to protect lives after ferocious floods left hundreds killed. In Nepal, UN and NGO teams are moving food, medicine and shelter to communities. More in my interview on Al Jazeera English

I spent last night in Kyiv as another series of massive attacks hit. Homes. A hospital. A school. At least 15 people killed, more than 30 injured. An insight into the reality for so many living through this war.

Aid workers are protected under international humanitarian law. Yet marked humanitarian vehicles are still being hit. Local organizations face greatest risks. Those funding and fuelling today’s wars must do more to protect humanitarians. The Associated Press interview:

Cheap armed drones are putting lethal power into ever more hands to kill at distance from victim and law. Civilians and humanitarians are paying the price. In Kherson, Ukraine, and in an increasing number of places globally. Technology is outpacing accountability. And humanity.

Just chaired meeting of global humanitarian leadership on the Ebola epidemic, with Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. This crisis is real, and growing. Our teams are doing courageous, vital work on the frontlines. But let me be clear: this is not enough. We need the world to wake up and show up.
