Grateful for your leadership and determination to see the SDGs through. An important moment for the UNSDG to reflect on our collective impact and how we can make the UN system more efficient, responsive and effective for the people we serve. #UN80

At the last meeting of @UN leaders convened by @antonioguterres, deeply grateful for his extraordinary leadership and commitment to a UN that delivers for people.
Our purpose is clear: work for peace, advance development, and stand with people when crisis strikes.
For those forced from their homes, that means protection, dignity, opportunity and ultimately solutions. In difficult times, we must deliver together, as one UN.

A historic first: a @RefugeesOlympic Team will walk out at the #Dakar2026 Youth Olympic Games tomorrow.
To the team: your talent and hard work have brought you here. You are an inspiration to millions around the world, and we will be cheering you on.
My sincere thanks to the International Olympic Committee and the Olympic Refuge Foundation for their partnership and commitment to supporting refugee athletes.

This week with @UN leaders, @iascch Principals and humanitarian donors, we discussed how the Humanitarian Reset can deliver better for people in crisis: greater complementarity, stronger local leadership, the right financing and better use of data. With needs at unprecedented levels, we must mobilize more resources and ensure they reach the people who need them most.

As conflict continues to affect communities in northern Ethiopia, UNICEF is staying and delivering.
Essential medical, water treatment, and sanitation supplies have reached the Amhara region to support children and families affected by the conflict.

In Tigray, we provided medical supplies to Chercher Health Centre and hospitals in Alamata, Mahoni, and Maychew in the Southern zone.
Healthcare facilities, personnel, & patients must be protected during conflict. We continue to support access to healthcare for those affected.

Hosting leaders of the @iascch at @UNFPA this week as we reshape humanitarian action & push forward to deliver for people in crisis.
We’re committed to building a humanitarian system that is more focused, efficient & locally-led, anchored in shared principles & accountability.

In Sudan, a war for raw power, fueled by outside actors, has become a war on civilians.
The fighting must stop.
Civilians must be protected.
Humanitarian aid must flow, without obstruction.
The country’s unity, sovereignty & territorial integrity must be preserved.
And Sudan's future must be shaped by the Sudanese people through an inclusive political process.

PRESS STATEMENT.
KNCHR Calls for Urgent, Rights-Based Humanitarian Response to Influx of Ethiopian Refugees in Moyale.
@HakiKNCHR is concerned by reports that approximately 40,000 people have sought refuge in Moyale after fleeing unrest in Ethiopia. More than 15,000 are reportedly accommodated in eight temporary shelters, while over 20,000 are staying with relatives and friends.
Reported shelter locations include St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Harhosha Secondary School, Manyatta Burji, Sessi and Lanzi Mosque Hospital, among other sites.
The influx is placing significant pressure on host communities and available resources, particularly
food, clean water, shelter, sanitation and healthcare.

Africa's communal agency in violent conflict setting, explores how communal grass-root institution contributes to humanitarian aid and survival under the conditions of state abandonment and violent conflicts in Africa, taking the example of Sudan.

As a state party to the 1951 Refugee Convention since 1982, China affirms its support for #UNHCR and collaborate on addressing forced displacement challenges.
Pleased to have met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi for an important discussion on forced displacement.
Peace is essential to addressing the conflicts that force people to flee. Development creates the conditions for lasting solutions. And international cooperation remains indispensable.
China is a party to the 1951 Refugee Convention. I welcomed its support for UNHCR and its reaffirmed commitment to helping address these shared challenges.
Proud to mark 15 years & counting with @Refugees. In an age of anxiety and fragmentation, our colleagues worldwide continue to deliver life-saving protection in the most challenging contexts. The UN's relevance is in the impact we make. Happy #UNDay2026!

Critical discussions at yesterday's side event on International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and peace. While humanitarian needs rise, global commitment is declining. Key takeaways: decolonize peace operations and secure political will to ensure IHL is respected in conflict zones. #IHL #Peacebuilding #Humanitarian

In a world full of very mediocre leaders, “We, the peoples” must matter.
Because we do matter.
