So good to sit down with my peer and friend @BethBechdol at @FAO. She is a strong voice in the Humanitarian Reset – urging us to work differently, back local actors and keep emergency agriculture central to life-saving work. In tough times, that kind of leadership matters.

Humanitarians aren’t just helpers. They’re lifelines in the darkest hours. 2024 was the deadliest year on record. 2025 is already on course to be worse. Protect those who protect others. International law isn’t optional. #ActForHumanity #WorldHumanitarianDay

Eritrea faces threats to agricultural production and food security due to increasing prevalence of locusts. 

Such infestations could affect livelihoods of over 600k people.

I’m allocating $500,000 from @UNCERF supporting @FAO to protect thousands from hunger.
