In Rome for #WorldHumanitarianDay with sister agencies @UNOCHA , @unicef and @WFP . The toll of armed conflict worldwide is immeasurable. We need an end to the attacks on civilians & aid workers and active steps to protect them. #ActForHumanity

As global crises grow, so do dangers for humanitarians protecting those forced to flee. In 2023, civilian casualties in conflict soared and humanitarian worker fatalities doubled. This must stop. On #WorldHumanitarianDay , we call for their protection. #ActForHumanity

9 years ago, we launched the #IBelong campaign to #EndStatelessness . Despite progress, statelessness still affects millions, depriving them of the right to a nationality. Let’s unite to end this injustice.

From #Rio2016 to #Paris2024 - an inspiring and fun conversation with Goodwill Amb. @YusraMardini . Her journey from saving lives while fleeing war to becoming a @RefugeesOlympic swimmer is nothing short of heroic - a role model for athletes, refugees & the rest of us worldwide!
