No more delays. No more excuses. We must open all the crossings, mobilize the whole humanitarian community, and get our full Winter plan delivered for Gaza.
For millions of people, humanitarian assistance is a lifeline, yet funding is falling dangerously short, forcing impossible choices about who receives assistance and who goes without.
Every delay puts more lives at risk.
Keep the lifeline alive. Fund humanitarian assistance.

What’s happening in Gaza now is a preventable, predictable winter crisis.
We have been setting out the plan for months on what we need. Tents. Fuel.
My comments from Mali.

Gao, Northern Mali.
Communities here want what we all do: security, work, school for their kids, to rebuild their lives with dignity.
We are here to support them, but severe funding cuts mean we are falling far too short of what is possible, and what is needed.

Pleasure meeting members of the Council of Europe.
We discussed humanitarian crises, access & protection of civilians. European countries have long been strong supporters of multilateralism, human rights & international humanitarian law. Thank you for your advocacy & partnership.

In Northern Mali, we are supporting people displaced by climate and insecurity, including 8m USD I’m announcing from our emergency fund.
Incredible dignity and determination as they rebuild their lives.
They are stepping up. As world leaders gather at #COP31 - will they?
In #Haiti, armed violence in Arcahaie and Cabaret has displaced more than 5,900 people since late October.
Nearly 6 million people face high levels of acute food insecurity, while insecurity continues to hamper humanitarian access.

Thank you, United States 🇺🇸

Arrived in Mali.
Over 5m people here need humanitarian support. Insecurity, climate shocks, displacement. We need access, funding and sustained attention to the crisis.
Started visit listening to Humanitarian, UN country teams, and local leaders.
Heavy rain has flooded shelters across Gaza, leaving families in another crisis.
Tents are ready outside Gaza, but Israeli restrictions are still limiting their entry.
Those restrictions must be lifted so essential shelter supplies and equipment can reach people now.
