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.

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.

So, for those killed and those whose voices are silenced: what more evidence do you need? Will you act now – decisively – to prevent genocide in Gaza and to ensure respect for international humanitarian law? This Council must prevail. Demand this ends.

Unimaginable destruction in Gaza: homes, schools, hospitals reduced to rubble. Survivors tell me we have to bear witness. And that we must do more: to protect them, to deliver lifesaving aid, to maintain the ceasefire, to help them rebuild.

UN Charter pledged us to save generations from scourge of war, defend human rights and justice. Amid horror of El Fasher we must return to those words as rebuke for international failure, and challenge that world can do better. My remarks:

Our 60-day Gaza plan is delivering. Since the ceasefire, we have been able to bring in much more flour, yeast, and fuel for machines. New UN supported bakeries are being opened every day. Visited the latest, where 300,000 pieces of bread are already being produced daily. World Food Programme

On the road to visit the Rafah crossing into Gaza. This route is a vital lifeline for food, medicine, tents and other lifesaving aid. We want to see it full of trucks, as part of a massive surge of aid following the peace deal.

This winter in Afghanistan, hunger is soaring. Food aid has collapsed. Clinics are closing. 1.1 million children are missing life-saving nutrition. We need restrictions on women humanitarians lifted immediately and the funding to do our work. My remarks:
