#Yemen: This week marks 1 year since the arbitrary detention of United Nations, NGO, civil society, & diplomatic staff. These detentions can’t be justified & undermine our ability to deliver critical aid. We call on the de facto authorities to release our colleagues immediately.

No one becomes a #refugee by choice; they flee war to survive In years working with refugees, I’ve seen tremendous loss & crises we could've prevented To save lives & end conflict, we must invest in human rights—justice & early action—& speak up to protect those forced to flee

"Let's be clear. The creeping annexation of the West Bank is illegal. It must stop. The wholescale destruction of Gaza is intolerable. It must stop. Unilateral actions that would forever undermine the two-State solution are unacceptable. They must stop." - António Guterres
