    UNRWA is irreplaceable. It’s not just an aid agency. It provides education, healthcare, social services and protection for Palestinian refugees. @UNRWA promotes human development, dignity and rights until a just and durable solution is found. We must support & protect it.

    If implemented, the laws adopted today by the Knesset of Israel would likely prevent @UNRWA from continuing its essential work in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, with devastating consequences for Palestine refugees. I call on Israel to act consistently with its obligations

    It is with a heavy heart that I learned today of the passing of my respected predecessor, William Lacy Swing, in Kuala Lumpur. On behalf of IOM, I offer my sincere condolences to his family, particularly his wife Yuen, his son Brian and his daughter Gabrielle.

    The conflict in Northern Ethiopia has taken a heavy toll on civilians, especially women and children. Peace efforts need to be pursued urgently to avoid further deaths and displacement. We join @antonioguterres call on all parties to allow unimpeded delivery of needed relief.

    I am alarmed about verified reports of discrimination, violence and xenophobia against third country nationals attempting to flee the conflict in #Ukraine. Discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, nationality or migration status is unacceptable.

    IOM’s on-going humanitarian response to the crisis in Northern Ethiopia is guided by the humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality & independence. Our priority is to work with UN agencies & partners to assist conflict affected populations& people on the move.

    Productive discussion today with Mr. Ahmed Osman Hamza, Wali of Khartoum, on how we can work together to restore essential services and support families returning home. With our office reopened in Khartoum, @UNmigration remains committed to helping communities rebuild.

    Today, IOM joined the UN family to mark a moment of silence to honor and mourn colleagues who lost their lives on duty in Gaza. We stand tall with colleagues who continue to put their lives on the line everyday to provide humanitarian assistance. Humanitarians are #NotATarget

    Brazil's 'Operation Welcome' for Venezuelans is an excellent example of solidarity in the region. I expressed to the Minister of Human Rights, H.E Mr. Sílvio Almeida, our commitment to keep working together on this issue and strengthen the focus on indigenous people.

    At a time where #ClimateChange, conflict and inequality are prevalent - migration shouldn't be seen as a problem, but an opportunity for growth, diversity and stronger societies. Our collective strength lies in our unity. Together we'll create a better world for all.
