The people of Yemen have been suffering from years of war and devastation, and they yearn for a peaceful future. The trajectory of violence in the country must stop as we work for a negotiated Yemeni-led political settlement.

The situation for Palestinians in Gaza is beyond description, beyond atrocious & beyond inhumane. A policy of siege & starvation makes a mockery of international law. The blockade against humanitarian aid must end immediately. This is a moment for moral clarity & action.

#Gaza: The sharp escalation of attacks & killings this week, including #Israel's strikes on hospitals, are compounding the already desperate humanitarian situation amid signs of even worse to come. We must stop the clock on this madness.

After 14 years of conflict, half a million Syrians have made it back home to Syria. Not without challenges—but with hope. Their voluntary return is a reminder: with the right support, recovery is possible.
