    One year since devastating atrocities in El Fasher, nearly 900,000 displaced people are sheltering in Tawila.   Civilians there told me they need protection, aid and accountability. Instead they are at prolonged risk, aid budgets have been cut, and no accountability.

    Briefed Ambassadors of G77 + China group in New York. We discussed crises pushing 87m people to edge, unacceptable attacks on aid workers, and the transparency that must underpin everything we do, including OCHA's next Strategic Plan. Thanks @UruguayONU for leading the exchange.

    Now is not the time for support and attention to drop. It is the time to step up, protect the gains made in Gaza, sustain the programs that have helped push back famine, and help families rebuild their lives.

    Powerful words from @DenisMukwege 👇
    The Elders @TheElders
    “International law must be upheld for all.” In his Kofi Annan Peace Address, @DenisMukwege called for international rule of law to be applied universally, and not only when it suits the most powerful. Read the full speech ➡️ @PanziUSA @PanziFoundation @KofiAnnanFdn

    El Niño is back, and it is more powerful than ever. We must act urgently to limit the impact. With @WMO, we have set out the potential impact. And called for action.

    Impossible choices ahead on who gets food in Gaza. More from @WFPChief 👇
    Luke J. Lindberg @WFPChief
    There is no right answer to whose food assistance gets cut when nearly an entire population depends on it. I spoke to @BBCWorld about the impossible choices being made in Gaza and the international support needed now.

    Thousands have been forced from their homes in Gros-Morne as violence spreads across Haiti. 
Humanitarians are there but access must remain safe and open. The funding gap is real, and is costing lives.

    The plaudits for four decades of fearless journalism are justified. But Christiane Amanpour has also consistently kept those in humanitarian need in the public conversation. And held the powerful to account. Both have saved lives. @amanpour

    RT @NRC_Egeland: Today is the day! The world’s biggest national fundraiser for humanitarian work is the Norwegian Telethon. This year Norway gives massively to NRC and our shelter work for displaced in war zones. More than 60.000 Norwegians, lead by King Haakon VII, will come with collection boxes to homes in all our 357 counties nationwide. Businesses have already contributed large sums and tens of thousands now give through phones on VIPPS at #2133. International solidarity is still strong with those that need it the most.

    Killing humanitarians takes a chain of people. I want them to feel fear, shame, guilt. We demand they are held to account. Here are three ways to do that. My speech in Brussels today on protecting humanitarians.
