This week I’ve met with those bearing the brunt of the conflict in Lebanon.
With partners from France and Qatar, we are committed to supporting people here and delivering humanitarian support.

- Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office repostedThe Lebanese Red Cross are on the frontline, delivering in the most difficult conditions. It was a privilege to hand over UK-funded ambulances to @RedCrossLebanon, delivered with @BritishRedCross. Their bravery is humbling and I pay tribute to staff who have lost their lives.

As the new UK Special Envoy for Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict, I will work with survivors to help ensure their voices shape global action. Our International Coalition to end Violence against Women and Girls is bringing countries together to end violence, everywhere.
00:00 - Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office repostedDeeply concerned by reports of an imminent offensive on El Obeid, with drone strikes reported overnight. With partners in the Coalition for Atrocity Prevention, we urge all sides to de-escalate and ensure civilians can leave safely. This deadly cycle must end.The Coalition for Atrocity Prevention and Justice for Sudan (🇨🇦🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇪🇳🇱🇳🇴🇸🇱🇬🇧) and 21 other states have expressed their grave concern about escalating atrocity risks in El Obeid, Sudan.

Calling for "all of Lebanon to burn" is a horrendous and abhorrent statement from an Israeli Minister who has rightly been sanctioned by the UK Government. We call on both Israel and Hizballah to comply with the agreed ceasefire, and ensure that all civilians are protected. 
On the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, the UK stands with all the women and girls targeted as a weapon of war. This is a global crisis, and that is why the UK is working in coalition with countries around the world to end it.

On her 81st birthday, Aung San Suu Kyi remains detained and isolated. As human rights violations continue in Myanmar, the UK calls for her and all those arbitrarily detained to be freed. - The UK-Egypt partnership matters for our security and prosperity. We are deepening cooperation to boost economic opportunities, strengthen stability, and tackle the shared challenge of illegal migration.
00:00 - Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office repostedReports of an imminent major offensive on El Obeid Sudan are incredibly alarming. The RSF must pull back immediately. All parties must urgently de-escalate, allow civilians to leave safely, and let aid in. Too many lives have been lost in Sudan. This offensive must stop now
- Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office repostedLebanon is again facing devastating levels of destruction and displacement. Important to be here in Beirut with @CaroitEleonore, @MANAlMisned and @HaneenSayed_LB to work together with the Lebanese government to respond to the urgent humanitarian situation.

Big global issues, that have a real impact back at home - that’s what these summits are all about.
00:00 - Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office repostedIt is great news that following intense and close work, the UK-India FTA will come into force on 15th July. On my recent trip to India I saw the economic opportunities ready to be unlocked as our businesses trade more freely. The work we do overseas makes us stronger at home.
