Rt. Hon. Sir Stephen R O'Brien KBE

@HelenClarkNZ I too add my deepest sympathies and condolences to Nicholas’ family and echo Helen’s tribute. All of us who’ve served at the UN gained a deep respect for Nick and his work and as a colleague - he was always supportive, clear sighted, determined,skilled with real leadership

Deeply saddened by news of the death of Nicholas Haysom, a colleague during my time at the UN. Nicholas was a legal advisor to Nelson Mandela & played leadership roles in UN peacekeeping missions. His service to humanity will never be forgotten. RIP 💔 news.un.org/en/story/2026/…

The world, and especially the States and people of violence and conflict, should heed this. Humanitarians are not a target!

Deeply shocked and saddened by the passing of our dear friend, colleague and @WHO Envoy David Nabarro. David was a great champion of global health and health equity, and a wise, generous mentor to countless individuals. His work touched and impacted so many lives across the world. On behalf of WHO, I’m extending our heartfelt condolences to David’s family, friends and colleagues. Rest in peace, my dear friend. We will dearly miss your expertise, wisdom and kindness.

@UNReliefChief @UNOCHA @MofaQatar_EN @qatar_fund @qcharityglobal @qcharity @EAA_Foundation @qatarairways @QatarAtUN Glad to agree and endorse 100% ever since this relationship was forged in Doha and New York from 2016 - the State and people of Qatar deserve huge recognition and praise for their steadfast support for the neediest in our world.

Qatar 🇶🇦 is a principled partner for @UNOCHA – and people in need. I am honoured to have signed multiple agreements with our partners in Doha, which will ensure the humanitarian system is better prepared to address crises.

I’m deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Alistair Darling. Alistair was a towering figure in Scottish and UK politics. We were on different sides of the @HouseofCommons, but it was an honour to work with him to help secure the Union. My heart goes out to his family.

After such dedication and effort, congratulations to all involved in bringing the new scalable effective WHO recommended malaria vaccine, R21! Developed by British-backed scientists, this a great chance to beat malaria, as we’ve all worked for.Join us! #finishthejob #zeromalaria

@DavidGressly @UNOCHA @beleefboskalis @UNDP @ASteiner @UN @UN_Spokesperson Brilliant work - congratulations David to you and all the team.

WE HAVE CONCLUDED THE OIL TRANSFER! More than 1.1 million barrels of oil were pumped from the decaying #FSOSafer to the replacement vessel. Great work by SMIT Salvage. And thank you to all contributors and advocates that have brought us to this point! PR: bit.ly/3DV4npz

UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres and the Organization's Humanitarian Coordinator in #Yemen, @DavidGressly, welcome the release of 5 security personnel kidnapped in February 2022. news.un.org/en/story/2023/…

@bbclysedoucet @UniofOxford Huge congratulations Lise - completely merited! Keep up your great work!

Thank you @UniofOxford for this huge honour & for recognising the importance of journalism in our time.

@GrandBargain_ @ODI_Global @hpg_odi Delighted to see this progress after we kicked the Grand Bargain off and gave it its global platform at the only ever World Humanitarian Summit in May 2016 (Istanbul).

📣The Annual Independent Report 2023 produced by @ODI_Global has been released!➡️bit.ly/42S3CaZ It highlights tangible progress by Signatories in enhancing the efficiency & effectiveness of humanitarian action, unveils challenges & recommendations for future priorities

The UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Syria begged the Assad regime for access to international teams, but there was no response during the 72-hour rescue window. #FaultLine #SyrianEarthquake @UNReliefChief 5/16

@PMaurerICRC @ICRC You set the highest standard others in this global field of activity can only aspire to: thank you for your inestimable service to helping the most vulnerable to survive and thrive and for your collaborative leadership. Best wishes to you and a warm welcome to your successor.

1. Today I step down as @ICRC President, feeling honored to have led this organization through a decade of humanitarian service and diplomacy. From Afghanistan, the Sahel, Syria, Ukraine, Yemen and beyond, I'm proud that ICRC could bring humanity and hope to people most in need.

@WFPChief @UNReliefChief @POTUS This is spectacular! Thank you and this enables so much hope as well saving lives.

Today, an extraordinary announcement from @POTUS: the USA will contribute another $2.9 billion to fight the global hunger crisis. This will go a long way in preventing famine, destabilization and mass migration. Thank you! 🇺🇸 🇺🇳 #UNGA77

Our next PM will make an important decision on UK support for @GlobalFund within days of entering that famous No. 10 door. With countless others I urge our new PM to maintain UK’s brilliant record amongst our international allies in ensuring we support strongly the Replenishment.

On #ThisWorldMosquitoDay, I’m calling on our next PM to make a strong pledge to @GlobalFund: no child should die from #malaria, a totally avoidable, preventable and treatable disease so long as we have the political will and the sustainable $£€¥ resources. #FightForWhatCounts

This year, @GlobalFund is calling on the world to fight for what counts to save 20 million more lives. We need your help! Can we count on you? Add your name to the #FightForWhatCounts petition and tell the world “Count me in!” fightforwhatcounts.org

I am devastated to hear this - what a terrible loss to global health, development and great good sense and leadership. Above all my heart goes out to his family and colleagues. Within DFID Danny and I spent important time together supporting people in need N Ghana in 2010/11.RIP.

Exceptional, brave, harrowing, factual, respectful live reporting. Primary evidence of breaches of #IHL . This should be compulsory viewing by ALL the UN Sec Ccl. Your report took me straight back to Aleppo in 2016. I salute your courage.
