WFP is now engaging in "extreme prioritization" in the #DRC. There is not enough money & there are way too many people in need of food. This is a GBV crisis, a hunger crisis, a regional crisis--more than 200k IDPs have arrived near Goma in the last days. youtube.com/watch?v=Bm2A5vu1…

UNHCR's Global Trends report came out last week, highlighting that there are more than 108 million forcibly displaced people in the world. This is remarkably high & requires a sustained, unified, humanitarian, global response. My commentary-- in Arabic. youtube.com/watch?v=w9j8VdVe…

My boss @HardinLang1 at @refugeesintl on the massive challenges getting desperately needed aid into NW Syria. The earthquake has damaged infrastructure & millions of Syrians are already displaced. As he says, it is a "perfect storm of a complex crisis." youtube.com/watch?v=jMjsZxLL…
