Over the last few years, social media companies have culled their trust and safety units, reversing the gains made over the past decade. Nowhere else are these reductions more consequential than in Africa, @abdullahialim writes. foreignpolicy.com/2024/06/21/adv…

We are humbled by the heroic work of health workers in #Gaza. I also continue to be impressed by my @WHO colleagues, who serve and support the people of Gaza.

I am deeply shocked that 2 @UNRWA schools were struck in less than 24 hours in Gaza. Dozens of people – many women & children – were killed & injured as they were seeking safety in @UN premises. I reaffirm that our premises are inviolable.

Today, the @UN family observed a moment of silence to mourn & honour our colleagues killed in Gaza. Since the start of this conflict, more than 100 @UNRWA staff have lost their lives - the highest number of UN aid workers killed in a conflict in such a short time. They will…

It's really, really important that anyone giving policy advice to lower income countries *properly* understands how their own country & other higher income countries actually did when they were poor. My sense is only 5%, at best, of such people fit this category. #globaldev

Our world is becoming unhinged & we seem incapable of coming together to respond. But the @UN was created precisely for moments like this – moments of maximum danger & minimum agreement. What we need is determination to heal divisions & forge peace.

We've never seen this before. For the 1st time in @WFP’s history, hunger is skyrocketing and funding is plummeting. We’re $$ billions short to save lives – and now we’re completely cutting food for millions of starving people. 🧵 Here's what WFP ration cuts look like worldwide:

"Governments in Africa will not be able provide quality public services until national economies grow." We should focus on industrial policy to unlock broadbased economic growth. This should be foundation of any domestic resource mobilisation strategy. thegpi.org/p/there-just-i…

Somalia contributes only 0.003% to global emissions, yet already suffers the worst consequences of climate change. Supporting Somalia is also a matter of climate justice. As @antonioguterres visits the country this week, let’s commit to stand in solidarity with Somalia.
