In 2025, over 326 humanitarians killed. Over 1,010 in three years.
My challenge to the Security Council: if we fail to defend humanitarians, the integrity of the Council dies with our colleagues.
Maybe that is why flight seats from Nairobi were so expensive for 3 Nov when I was trying to book them yesterday. Booked for 2 Nov instead and saved over US$ 500!

Wonderful conversation today with my Kenyan neighbour's children. Apparently the #ToothFairy does also visit in Kenya, and the going rate is 10 shillings per tooth (about 6p). I was petitioned to advocate on the children's behalf for a higher rate! #inflation

Thinking of @sas_yvonne today and her ongoing fight for justice for her son Isaac, on what would have been his 5th birthday. Working for UN should not result in paying such a high price. theguardian.com/australia-ne…
The targeting of humanitarian workers and facilities continues in #Sudan.
We're receiving reports of attacks and sexual violence against aid workers.
And yesterday, our @UNOCHA_Sudan office in South Darfur was looted.
This is unacceptable and must stop. #NotATarget
A video for “Judas” was presciently released by @MrDenMiller yesterday related to the Nice terror attack but is sadly as relevant today due to the #TelAviv #terror attack youtu.be/YSIDXt7tSck
5 years ago today I landed in Nairobi for a 1 year contract - my first time in Africa - and 5 years later I am still here!

The era of nuclear blackmail must end.
The idea that any country could fight and win a nuclear war is deranged.
Any use of a nuclear weapon would incite a humanitarian Armageddon.
We need to step back.
Thanks to the fiscal event, my shopping this weekend effectively costs 3% more than it would have done on Thursday

One day people will visit Britain just to see the giant queue. And they’ll have to queue.
Article from @catrutterpooley about @UKSFO reports issued last week. Agree re lack of quality, resources and priority. However, also issues with lack of continuity, succession planning and induction - Director's term ending next year won't help with this ft.com/content/ca236cc5-6e94…
Huge queue for @Eurostar at @StPancrasInt snaking all through the building and outside. At least there are staff trying to keep the queue orderly.
