Today I laid a wreath to commemorate the nearly 4,500 people who have lost their lives since @UNPeacekeeping began almost 80 years ago.
And I was humbled to posthumously bestow the Dag Hammarskjöld Medal to 68 peacekeepers who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
They represent the best of humanity – people prepared to risk everything to keep others safe.

Tom Fletcher, jefe humanitario de la ONU (@UNReliefChief): “El plan de la ONU para salvar 87 millones de vidas cuesta menos de la mitad de lo que Wall Street se gasta en bonus y menos de lo que el mundo emplea en juguetes para mascotas o en videojuegos"

En momentos críticos para el sistema humanitario internacional, España redobla esfuerzos en ayuda humanitaria. En Gaza, Líbano, Sudán, Ucrania.
Así lo he trasladado al SGA para Asuntos Humanitarios @UNOCHA, @UNReliefChief. los márgenes de la Conferencia #PEFMadrid2026.

What does the vandalism of international solidarity mean for those in greatest need?
And how do we fight back?

In time of huge humanitarian crises and attacks against humanitarian community, this discussion with 50 Spanish NGOs, civil society and autonomous communities energised me on how we fight back.
Thanks @AECID_es @anton_leis for hosting.

Quietly marking 10th birthday of The Naked Diplomat. What a ride. Thank you to everyone who read, nurtured, translated (30 languages), challenged, used, improved it.
I’m happy it is out there.
I’ll scribble in next Humanifesto on where the last decade proved me right/wrong.

Thread on Ebola response:

We need to get ahead of this Ebola outbreak.
I am allocating up to $60 million from the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund to accelerate the response in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the wider region.

We do not lack laws to protect civilians in war. We lack the courage from states to enforce them.

A week in Somalia, why we don’t name our attackers, natural disasters, a funding breakthrough, UN gossip in Tokyo, #diplovision, Charlie Chaplin, and radical transparency.

The best test for humanitarian action is that we create conditions for us to leave.
The work ahead in Syria remains significant, but the immense progress made alongside the Syrian government in 18 months is cause for optimism. We need to stay the course.

1.8bn USD of new humanitarian funding announced by @StateDept will save millions of lives.
The humanitarian community has a plan to reach 87m people with lifesaving aid and we’re determined to deliver.

I’ve been in close contact with our courageous Ukraine team after we were hit twice this morning while delivering food in Kherson.
We demand answers and accountability.

Today, delivering aid to people in severe need of assistance and under constant attack in #Kherson, a clearly marked @UN vehicle was struck by a drone.
Over 200 civilians, mostly older people, remain there.
More from the Head of @UNOCHA in Ukraine, who accompanied the convoy⬇️
Community note
Russia has been constantly attacking civilians and UN workers with drones in Kherson for years.
