This is just one of hundreds of camps for internally displaced people in north-west #Syria. For many of the camp’s children, these tents are the only home they’ve ever known. They need support for more dignified living conditions.

In over 40 years of aid work, I don’t remember the world being so overwhelmed with problems. But I still hold on to hope - because I've seen that while conflicts and crises bring out the worst, they also inspire the very best in humanity. My op-ed on this #WorldHumanitarianDay:

.@antonioguterres warmly welcomes the departure of the M/V Razoni, the first commercial ship leaving Ukraine’s port of Odesa since 26 February 2022. Ensuring that existing grain and foodstuffs can move to global markets is a humanitarian imperative. 👇👇👇 bit.ly/3bic5iI

Just concluded my mission to #Türkiye. I'm humbled to see the hard work to deliver aid to north-west #Syria. Cross-border mechanism is making a difference for millions. Renewal of this lifeline by the Security Council is critical. bit.ly/3PFYTDg

I am leaving Gaziantep today. Thanks to all @UNOCHA colleagues, @UN teams, donors, NGOs and partners for their incredible work. Together, we are doing all we can to provide cross-border aid to communities in north-west #Syria. 4.1M people in this area need urgent assistance.

'Over 94% of displaced people in camps do not have access to sustainable electricity sources and 81% do not have access to modern cooking solutions.' This and much more in the NEW report on #HumanitarianEnergy by @EnergyGPA #EnergyAccess #SDG7 humanitarianenergy.org/thema…

The agreement signed today by Ukraine, the Russian Federation & Türkiye under UN auspices opens a path for commercial food exports from Ukraine in the Black Sea. It will help avoid a food shortage catastrophe for millions worldwide. It is a beacon of hope, possibility & relief.

A ray of hope in a world darkened by crises. Today in Istanbul, we have seen a major step forward to ensure the export of Ukrainian food products through the Black Sea. I salute the commitment of all those working to secure an agreement for our common humanity.

Security Council adopts resolution allowing lifesaving aid deliveries to continue into northwest Syria from Türkiye for another six months. Humanitarian needs in Syria are at their highest levels since the start of the conflict more than a decade ago. news.un.org/en/story/2022/07…

Very important UNSC decision & considerable achievement for #Ireland & #Norway to get this resolution passed. It means 1000 trucks per month of humanitarian assistance will keep flowing into NW Syria & a humanitarian catastrophe avoided. Really well done to team in New York.
The Security Council has adopted Resolution 2642, which has extended the mandate for the UN’s cross-border aid operation from Türkiye to Syria for six months

Ireland & Norway put forward a resolution to make it possible for the UN to continue providing lifesaving assistance to people in #Syria. The veto used today threatens that support. We are extremely disappointed, but undaunted. We will continue to work for a solution.🇮🇪🇺🇳🇳🇴

Today, the Security Council will vote on renewing cross-border aid into northwest #Syria. For the 4.4 million people trapped in the war-zone, it is a lifeline that must be renewed. Op-ed by @MarkCutts 👇 #WithSyria thenewhumanitarian.org/opini…
