Visiting communities in Myanmar devastated by the March 28 earthquake, I was torn between hope & fear. The strength of survivors—and our @ifrc network, affected themselves—is inspiring. But urgent support is still needed. My reflections in this piece: bit.ly/3ZqcfKI👇

Pleased to talk to @jonathansamuels the need for an independent investigation into the awful killing of Palestine Red Crescent Staff in Gaza. Impunity in any place breeds impunity in every place.

In the camps outside Idlib are people desperate to return home. They should - and the humanitarian community must help them, with infrastructure like water and power, and jobs. The @SYRedCrescent and the @ifrc are ready to help.

The release of some hostages and a tentative peace in Gaza for the first time in too many months is very very good news. But there is a long way to go. I look forward to seeing more hostages released soon. And we need the peace to hold. As this life-saving window opens, our…

What happened on Saturday in Israel was horrific...still is horrific given ongoing injuries and hostages. What's happening in Gaza now - and to come - is horrific too. There are heartbreaking interviews with Israelis and Palestinians. This is one bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w1…

In Guatemala, heavy rains caused a landslide which has swept away homes & livelihoods. Teams from @CRGuatemalteca are on the ground rescuing people & providing relief. My thoughts are with everyone impacted by this disaster. We @ifrc are ready to support.
