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.

Merci pour ce dialogue indispensable avec nos partenaires humanitaires, co-présidé par le ministre Barrot, sur la réforme du système humanitaire. Les ONGs françaises ont un rôle important à jouer pour garantir le succès du renouveau du système humanitaire.

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.

A heartbreaking sight, the Passu Glacier dying on our watch. We need bolder leadership on climate now or it will be too late.

Excellent discussion in Islamabad with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. We discussed intense diplomatic efforts on Middle East, humanitarian convoys across Pakistan/Afghanistan border, and partnership on global disaster preparedness.

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.

The high mountains of Gilgit Baltistan: a place of beauty, and danger. Landscape unchanged for centuries. Until now. Thoughts on pilgrimage, politics of climate vandalism, and a perilous future.

A place of beauty and danger. Our failure to slow vandalism of our climate is making more places uninhabitable.

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.

Caraballeda, La Guaira, one of the areas hardest hit by Venezuela’s earthquakes. So many lives destroyed in two minutes of terror. 13 days on, mothers gather here, holding on to the hope that their children might somehow still be alive.

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.

So many people lost everything in the earthquakes in Venezuela. UN, NGO and local humanitarians have been there for them, and we will be there for them through the long work ahead.

Coordination sounds boring. But when disaster strikes, it saves lives. Responding to Venezuela earthquakes over last fortnight demanded watertight alignment of local authorities, states, search and rescue teams, private sector, and NGOs. This is the stadium where it happens.

We have made progress since ceasefire, but from catastrophic base. Fragile humanitarian gains are bare minimum of what Palestinians need, what we can provide, and what international law demands. World must return patient, sustained and principled attention to Gaza.
