In the Middle East, with the agreement announced overnight, we hope to see tangible implementation of the peace deal & the end of the war in the whole region.
Gaza: food running out. 1.7 million in tents. Aid blocked. Even EU teams denied access. IHL must be respected.

Horrified by last night's massive π·πΊ assault onπΊπ¦: fires set to the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and a despicable "double-tap" strike in Kharkiv that killed 4 rescuers as they fought to save lives. Attacks on civilians, heritage & first responders must end.

I co-chaired a meeting with @WHO @AfricaCDC & African Ministers and partners to align our response. Cooperation, humanitarian access & swift action are essential to save lives & strengthen health security.

The lyceum in Mykhailo-Kotsiubynske was damaged in 2022 and rebuilt with EU & @FCA_global support so children could keep learning.
Last night, four Russian drones struck it again. Russia continues to target civilian infrastructure and put children's futures at risk.

For 10-year-old Leen, returning home to northwest Syria meant going back to school and playing with friends.
But it also meant living with a hidden danger: landmines and unexploded ordnance left behind by years of conflict.

When she was younger, Leen thought strange metal objects she found outside were toys.
