The Emergency Relief Coordinator brought together humanitarian leaders from #IASC, hosted by @UNFPA, to take stock of the #HumanitarianReset: where we are making progress and where we need to push harder.
The test: faster, fairer, more accountable aid for people in crisis.

As winter approaches, @WHO is urging Israel to allow a massive influx of medical aid into Gaza.
“Release the pressure on medical supplies” meds and prosthetics, the agency’s Dr Reinhilde Van De Weerdt tells journalists in Geneva.

A ceasefire is supposed to be the moment when the hard part begins: rebuilding. Nearly a year after the one announced in #Gaza in October 2025, that moment still hasn't arrived for most families.
Meanwhile, the materials needed to repair homes, restore water systems and get farms and businesses running again remain restricted. So the real question is not how many trucks cross the border, but what a ceasefire actually allows people to do.
Keeping people alive was never really meant to be the limit, and recovery can't keep being postponed to some future phase that depends on politics outside Gazans' control. Full statement: prosperglobal.org/press-room…
As prestigious as their title will be, whoever is elected the next UNSG is not to be envied. Being equidistant from all Member States (if that’s achieved) while also having to bring them closer together on some of the toughest regional and gbl challenges is a challenge in itself.
The question is how central can this diverse group become under the leadership of the next SG, and can their deeply rooted divergences be acknowledged and addressed without becoming a blocker?
Fastened my seatbelt and enjoyed reading this really good piece from Daniel Forti and ICG.

Often from displacement camps, between queues for food and water, and while the electricity flickers, young Gazans are coding and freelancing for clients worldwide.
The Gaza Sky Geeks programme at @MercyCorps is proof that Palestinian talent is borderless and doesn't wait for the perfect conditions to succeed. More in this article from the @BBCNews .

Apparently, we have reached the stage of multilateral etiquette where member state representatives may enter UN premises, instruct women with whom they disagree to “shut up”, or denounce them as witches. And that’s only the tip we see on record.

The UN’s resources have never exceeded $5bn. In comparison, Google’s official revenue stands at $182bn, and the EU’s budget is $190bn. This lack of resources now raises dire fears. (1/2)
Disse tallene ville vært hjertelig velkomne i en annen virkelighet. Men i dagens verden er over 120 land preget av væpnet konflikt, dobbelt så mange som for 15 år siden. Dette sier sitt.
Norge forblir ett av få land som opprettholder forutsigbar bistandsstøtte (så langt). Dersom ikke andre land følger etter, er det kanskje på tide at verden retter blikket mot det som reduserer behovet på både kort og lang sikt.
Gratulerer til @noradno-teamet bak ĂĄrets rapport "Tall som teller" og takk for dagens arrangement.
