Thank you to EU Ministers for chance to join them in Dublin. My challenges to humanitarian community and supporters … Is reform yet meeting the moment? How do we reconnect with public? And who will help reimagine humanitarianism?

Opportunity to discuss plans for radical transparency in aid sector, peacemaking, and humanitarian efforts with members of Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade at House of the Oireachtas in Dublin. @irishmissionun.bsky.social

We are monitoring developments following the 7.7 earthquake in #Panama and stand ready to support national efforts. I’m in touch with Foreign Minister Martínez-Acha Vásquez.

My interview from Dublin with Morning Ireland on the humanitarian challenges we are facing and more.👇

Always privilege to spend time with Irish Prime Minister, Taoiseach Micheal Martin. His principled leadership and practical experience are crucial to crises - where we are delivering humanitarian support against odds.

At a time when many are retreating from global challenges, Ireland is again showing principled solidarity for people who need it most. Thank you to Minister Neale Richmond for leadership, rigour, reliability, and hope for humanitarian action. @irishmissionun.bsky.social @nealerichmond.bsky.social

Thank you, President Catherine Connolly, for Ireland’s powerful voice for peace and humanitarian solidarity.

Busy day of discussions and media in London. Big focus on next steps to reach 87m people with lifesaving support this year, plus humanitarian diplomacy on Sudan, Somalia, Middle East, Yemen, El Niño.

Excellent to meet UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband in London to discuss how we are future proofing the humanitarian sector to continue saving millions of lives. Thanks to UK for support and partnership.

Eradicating hunger is a vital pillar of our humanitarian mission.

Energising catch up with incoming @wfp.org Executive Director Luke Lindberg on our vital work ahead.

@tomfletcherun.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 6:20 AM

In northern #Ethiopia, our teams are working to get life-saving food, health and other help to people in need.

Fighting continues to harm and displace civilians, drive up needs and disrupt our work.

All parties must give aid workers safe and rapid access.

@tomfletcherun.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 6:31 PM

Welcome news that humanitarians can continue to use Adre border crossing between Chad and Sudan.

A vital lifeline for people in Darfur and one of my key access asks at #UNGA.

Thanks to the authorities in both countries. This action saves lives.

The world’s most overlooked crises cannot become forgotten crises. I've approved $160M from the UN Global Emergency Fund, CERF for 12 underfunded crises, with $10M set aside so people with disabilities aren't left behind. 87m people to reach. No time to waste.

@tomfletcherun.bsky.socialSep 30, 2026, 1:31 PM

In #Zimbabwe, the forecasts are in. Prolonged dry spells are coming. El Niño is bearing down.

$4M from UN’s Global Emergency Fund CERF for anticipatory action will help get food, health and nutrition in before the drought arrives, not after it destroys.

@tomfletcherun.bsky.socialSep 30, 2026, 1:29 PM

Appalling reports from #Myanmar's Rakhine State. An airstrike on a market in Kyauktaw has reportedly killed and injured dozens.

Civilians must be protected. 

International humanitarian law must be respected.

Humanitarians are staying and delivering despite the danger.

@tomfletcherun.bsky.socialSep 29, 2026, 10:09 PM

A worsening drought in South Sudan, driven in part by the ongoing El Niño, is putting lives and livelihoods at risk.
 
I’ve allocated $6M from UN’s Global Emergency Fund CERF to support early action, including food, health, nutrition, protection, water and sanitation services.

Grateful to Archbishop of Canterbury for her voice on humanitarian crises. When wars end, communities must be reconciled. That patient, human work of healing is often led by faith. Our common cause: protecting people, upholding principle and building conditions for lasting peace.

@tomfletcherun.bsky.socialSep 29, 2026, 1:54 AM

Spoke with #Cuba's Foreign Minister Rodriguez at #UNGA on Cuba's deteriorating humanitarian situation.

We're on the ground, supporting the response and pushing for unimpeded aid. We need fuel for hospitals and civilian infrastructure.

@tomfletcherun.bsky.socialSep 27, 2026, 6:34 PM

Substantive discussion on global crises and where United Arab Emirates can help us unblock access constraints for humanitarian action. With Sheikh Abdullah, DPM and Minister for Foreign Affairs.

@tomfletcherun.bsky.socialSep 27, 2026, 4:40 PM

The EU is vital partner in our global humanitarian response. Consistency, multilateralism, humanitarian principles.

Excellent discussion and shared action with Commissioner Lahbib.
