The #Philippines faces another storm.

I've allocated US$5.95 million from UN CERF, one of the fastest ways to deliver funds in emergencies, in this case within just minutes of early warnings to support communities most at risk.

Did you know that over 2 billion people lack Internet access?

The situation is worse in crises, especially for women.

OCHA’s Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) is closing the gap by making humanitarian data easier to find and use.

#COP30 matters for humanitarians – because every fraction of a degree means more floods, droughts and displacement.

For millions already on the front lines of the climate crisis, this isn’t about the future – it’s about survival today.

Climate action is humanitarian action. 🌍

In Tigray, Ethiopia, our Deputy Director for Eastern and Southern Africa, Kyoko Ono, met displaced families and survivors of violence.

Funding cuts are leaving many without the help they need.

We’re transforming how we deliver lifesaving aid — empowering local leaders and communities, improving efficiency and innovation, and defending our values, including the neutrality of our aid.

"A grown man... skin on bone... like a skeleton."

Even before the Saudi Hospital in El Fasher, #Sudan, was attacked, doctors faced horrific cases – people surviving on a cup of animal feed.

Medical supplies blocked. Hospitals bombed.

Unimaginable horrors in El Fasher, #Sudan.

Just before Saudi Hospital was attacked – reportedly killing over 460 civilians – a doctor shared what he was witnessing on the ground.

He managed to escape, but we haven’t heard from him since.
