Escalating violence by armed groups in northern #Mozambique has forced 250,000 people to flee this year.

Humanitarians are delivering vital aid but operations are stretched after triple cyclones.

People urgently need food, shelter and health care: https://bit.ly/4prf20L

Violence against women and girls increases in crises.

But funding cuts are slashing the work that keeps them safe.

This #16Days, join us in saying:

‼️#NoExcuse for gender-based violence.
‼️#NoExcuse for letting life-saving support disappear.

The gap between rising needs and shrinking funds is putting lives at risk.

Millions of families rely on this support to survive.

Here are 5 crises with the largest funding gaps as of November 2025.👇

#Sudan’s North Darfur is at breaking point.

People fleeing El Fasher arrive at displacement sites where conditions are dire and needs are immense.

The UN and partners are doing all they can, but they need more support and urgent humanitarian access.

Darfur is an absolute horror show.

We have a moment of opportunity if the world is ready to seize it.

Civilians must be protected. Access must be expanded. Flow of arms must be limited.

📉Humanitarian funding is falling far behind.

Compared to this time last year, we are billions short of what’s needed to:

🔴 Treat mothers
🔴 Nourish children
🔴 Deliver safe water to families

This is a dangerous trend we cannot afford to ignore. #InvestInHumanity

Many communities across the world's crises are bracing for winter.

But brutal funding cuts mean less heating, fuel and warm clothing for families.

A new study warns that aid cuts could lead to 22 million more deaths by 2030.

Here's the impact on the ground this week. ⬇️

Relentless strikes across #Ukraine are killing civilians, destroying homes and crippling vital services. Nowhere feels safe.

Needs are rising, access is shrinking and attacks on health care and aid workers are unacceptable.

Children in Sudan are paying the highest price of this war.

Every day, they wake to violence, hunger and displacement – burdens no child should ever carry.

On #WorldChildrensDay, we call for protection, access to aid and peace.

Sudan’s children deserve their future back. 💙

Despite massive needs, this is a moment of hope for millions of Syrians.

The UN and partners are delivering aid to 3.4 million people each month.

With more support, we can help many more. https://bit.ly/4p800xv

In Tawila, I spoke to women who fled El Fasher only a few weeks ago. They carry terrifying stories of brutal violence. The world has not protected them. We must do better. #Sudan

At #COP30, lives are on the line.

People on the frontlines need more than promises – they need action, adaptation, and hope.

2025 showed what the #ClimateCrisis really means for the world’s most fragile countries.

Here’s what it has looked like so far: https://unocha.exposure.co/cop30

I spent yesterday in Korma with survivors of El Fasher atrocities. So many halting, harrowing conversations in Arabic, or translated from Zaghawa, about horror and misery.

Then Haseena pushed through crowd. Speaking in perfect English, she wanted the world to hear her story. #Sudan

After several days on the road, we finally arrived and saw the massive site where survivors from El Fasher are taking refuge.

Will be in Tawila for next two days to listen, learn and galvanize support.

Up early again for the next leg of our Darfur mission. Thanks to our friends @savethechildren.org for putting us up in Golo.

Six hour drive ahead to Tawila, where we need to get much more lifesaving support, humanitarian presence - and protection - to survivors. #Sudan

In #Darfur, I spoke to @apnews.com on the catastrophic situation for civilians - and why it matters to be here now.

Our access is still choked by fighting. We need unfettered, safe access to get aid moving.
