Today I was in Cox’s Bazar, hosting a million Rohingya refugees. If donor support decreases dramatically — which may happen — the huge work done by the Bangladesh government, aid agencies and refugees will be impacted, putting thousands at risk of hunger, disease and insecurity.

Funding cuts by numerous donor countries will limit UNICEF’s ability to reach millions of children in dire need. UNICEF implores all donors to continue to fund critical aid programs for the world’s children. We cannot fail them now.👇 unicef.org/press-releases…

I thank Chief Adviser of the Government of Bangladesh Muhammad Yunus, the interim government and the people of Bangladesh for their warm welcome. As the country undergoes important reforms and transitions, you can count on the United Nations to help build a sustainable and equitable future for all.

More than a month has passed without a drop of aid into Gaza. As aid has dried up, the floodgates of horror have re-opened. It’s time to end the dehumanization, protect civilians, release the hostages, ensure lifesaving aid & renew the ceasefire.

Today, the UN Resident Coordinator and I witnessed the hardship monsoon flooding brings to Rohingya refugees and host communities in Cox’s Bazar. While the needs are increasing, funding cuts continue to be a concern to the response. Timely support is vital to meet urgent needs.

When you get caught in a storm in a refugee camp, in this case, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, it gives you a deeply jarring insight into an impermanent existence. Experiencing the deluge with former refugee and proud Rohingya-Australian, Noor Azizah. Over a million people.
