We welcome all efforts to increase the amount and type of aid delivered for the people of Gaza, whether by air, sea or, most importantly, land.
We will continue to advocate for principled and safe aid delivery.

The desire to act, help & save lives calls to my colleagues around the world.
Yet, too often, aid workers cannot respond or are forced to make sacrifices.
Inaction is mainly linked to underfunding, but the #CostofInaction is paid in human sufferings.
We cannot let this happen.
The conflict in #Sudan has triggered an avalanche of suffering.
Next week, I will join Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus Filippo Grandi Cindy McCain Amy Pope in Paris at the Humanitarian Conference for Sudan and its Neighbours to advocate on behalf of the voices that need to be heard ๐
We asked photojournalists in Gaza to share images, taken during the war, that the world should not forget.

From a pinch of empowerment, a dash of dignity or a sprinkle psychosocial support - the recipe for better health can look different to everyone.
We all deserve it, but not everyone has it.
On #WorldHealthDay , letโs fight for others to gain access to a healthy mind, body & soul.
The war in Gaza is THE deadliest conflict on Earth for aid workers.
My heart is broken for the families of the killed @WCK aid workers, who delivered food to Palestinian people - no matter the danger.
Aid workers are #NotATarget , it's written in the Rules of War.ย Ceasefireย Now.
Outraged by the killing of World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza.
All this talk about ceasefires, and still this war steals the best of us.
๐ Congrats to IDMC, IOM - UN Migration ๐บ๐ณ, ICPAC, Climate Centre, & UN Development receiving grants from @CRAFddata.
These projects harness data to transform global crisis action, impacting 110 million people with earlier, faster, more targeted and dignified responses to emergencies.
Severe seasonal droughts have impacted #Ethiopia every decade since 1953.
An #AnticipatoryAction plan to forecast drought seasons and pre-arrange funding reduced the impact of droughts on over 900,000 people.
Acting earlier saves lives and livelihoods.

The conflict in northern #Mozambique displaced over 91,000 people in just a few months.
New CERF - The UN's emergency fund funding of $6 million will help meet their basic needs.
I met some of the displaced families in Cabo Delgado last year. Their resourcefulness is remarkable.
