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.

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

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.

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:

Sudan does not suffer from lack of analysis, but lack of action. Sudanese people need diplomacy, water and medicine. Yet world sends drones, weapons and mercenaries in struggle for power, gold and pride. My Security Council statement:

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.

This is not a temporary spike. It is a stain. Nearly 1,000 aid workers killed, injured or kidnapped last year around the world. States, armed groups and all those who enable them must be held accountable. My briefing from Kyiv on #WorldHumanitarianDay:

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.

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.

A decade of conflict. 11m women and girls in need. 3 women dying daily from preventable causes. 73 colleagues detained. Over 200 access blockages in a year. Yemenis deserve dignity and hope.
