Edem Wosornu visited communities impacted by the floods in 2022 in Charsadda district of #Pakistan. Rains this year have already flooded crops & increased disease. We must support the authorities in Pakistan to combat the climate crisis & support these vulnerable communities.


The toll of death, injury and destruction in #Gaza is utterly unconscionable. We demand that civilians, their housing, and the vital infrastructure they depend on be protected, as international humanitarian law requires. ➡️ Edem Wosornu’s full remarks: bit.ly/4asEnzt

🗨️"The people of Sudan are trapped. The people of Sudan are suffering. Behind every number there is a face, a person, a name, a child, a father, a mother. Let's not forget that. The people I met said that the war needs to stop." -Edem Wosornu UN Humanitarian ↘️webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1o/k…



The world is as robust in its humanity as ever. I see this in my colleagues who, despite being displaced or losing loved ones, still devote themselves to the lives of others. Humanity across continents, across cultures, hasn't changed. My chat with The Associated Press: bit.ly/3z1gL80

13 United Nations personnel and more from NGOs & civil society have been detained by the Houthi de facto authorities in #Yemen. In her briefing to the Security Council, Edem Wosornu reiterated the call for their immediate release and protection for all humanitarian personnel. Her remarks:

14 months of conflict have created a nightmare for civilians in #Sudan. Famine is imminent and fighting in Al Fasher threatens 800,000 people. "We are in a race against time to avert massive loss of life," Edem Wosornu warned the Security Council. Her remarks 🔽

UN Humanitarian Edem Wosornu arrived in #Haiti for a 4-day visit – together with Lucia Elmi UNICEF and Andrea Koulaimah EU Humanitarian Aid | Latin America & Caribbean. They will meet with Haitian authorities, national, international & local partners, to discuss the humanitarian crisis & strategies beyond emergency aid.


Reflecting on her visit to #Haiti, Edem Wosornu is moved by the resilience of communities facing violence, displacement and other challenges. "The horrors should stop so that the people of Haiti can go back to their normal lives." 🎥 Hear what she witnessed on the ground. ⤵️

My thoughts are with the families affected by the landslides in #Ethiopia, and I honour the rescue workers who lost their lives saving others. UN Humanitarian and partners are working closely with the Government to mobilize critical aid on the ground.


How much more do those in power need to see before they act? It's time they #ActForHumanity! International humanitarian law is being violated, and civilians and aid workers are paying the price. This #WorldHumanitarianDay, Muzoon Al-Mellehan added her voice. Add yours and share.

"The brutality of this conflict seems to know no limits." Today, Edem Wosornu reminded the #SecurityCouncil how Palestinian and Israeli civilians are continuously bearing the heaviest burden.

“I’d like to see each and every perpetrator of #sexualviolence held to account in the #DRC. In 2024 alone, 123,000 women and girls reported sexual violence. Every one of them must get justice.” Powerful words from UN Humanitarian Director Edem Wosornu at #UNGA #EndViolence in DRC event


Great first day joining Team UN Humanitarian. While I look forward to getting started, I do not doubt how tough the work will be. But I start with hope, because our movement is strong and our cause is mighty. Hear from me as I wrap up day 1.⬇️

📢Happening tomorrow! .African Union and UN Humanitarian will launch the 2025 Global Humanitarian Overview. The event will include a panel discussion to explore how can donors, private sector, governments & humanitarians support local actors. Join us on ⤵️ webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1x/k…
