The EU combined with its Member States are currently the biggest funders of humanitarian action. Thank you @hadjalahbib for your energetic leadership and strong backing of our plan to save #87MillionLives this year.
Hadja Lahbib@hadjalahbib

Strong exchange with Tom Fletcher, @UNReliefChief on shared priorities & commitment to a UN-centred humanitarian system. Protection, gender-sensitive action & EU support to CBPFs remain key as we both monitor major global crises.

We have a plan to reach millions with lifesaving support this year – delivered for women and girls through outstanding frontline partners like @UNFPA.   Let’s build on this momentum. #87MillionLives @unfpachief
Diene Keita@unfpachief

War does not pause pregnancy and disasters do not stop gender-based violence. In crisis settings, women's health and protection are non-negotiable. We need the world's solidarity to fund their safety and protect their future. Help us reach them and save #87MillionLives

Met again our Resident and Humanitarian Coordinators in Middle East and beyond to coordinate humanitarian response to the conflict. We’re focused on keeping routes open, an agile response for when needs change, and protection of civilians and humanitarians. An incredible team.

(EN/FR/NL) 🇺🇳 Good to sit down with Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief this morning in Brussels. In times like these, regular contact between donors and humanitarian leaders is crucial. The reality is stark. Humanitarian needs are rising while funding is shrinking. Aid workers are being attacked at unprecedented rates. And the world's attention is stretched thin across too many crises at once. Belgium will not look away. Humanitarian aid is lives saved every single day. That is why we back our new Belgian humanitarian strategy with flexible, predictable funding over several years. Because aid organisations on the ground need to plan, not just react. We discussed our recent additional support for Lebanon. But I also raised the many forgotten crises that no longer make the headlines but where people suffer just the same. Sudan, the Sahel, the Great Lakes, Myanmar, etc. The cameras may have moved on, but the needs have not. In a world where the instinct is to turn inward, Belgium chooses to stay engaged. Thank you, Tom, for your leadership. The work your teams do, often at great personal risk, deserves far more recognition than it gets. —— 🇺🇳 C'était un plaisir de m'entretenir avec Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief ce matin à Bruxelles. Dans des moments comme ceux-ci, il est essentiel que les donateurs et les responsables humanitaires restent en contact régulier. La réalité est crue. Les besoins humanitaires augmentent tandis que les financements diminuent. Les travailleurs humanitaires sont victimes d'attaques à un rythme sans précédent. Et l'attention du monde est dispersée entre trop de crises à la fois. La Belgique ne détournera pas le regard. L'aide humanitaire, c'est sauver des vies chaque jour. C'est pourquoi nous soutenons notre nouvelle stratégie humanitaire belge par un financement flexible et prévisible sur plusieurs années. Car les organisations humanitaires sur le terrain ont besoin de planifier, et pas seulement de réagir. Nous avons discuté de notre récent soutien supplémentaire au Liban. Mais j'ai également évoqué les nombreuses crises oubliées qui ne font plus la une des journaux, mais où les gens souffrent tout autant. Le Soudan, le Sahel, la région des Grands Lacs, le Myanmar, etc. Les caméras sont peut-être parties, mais les besoins, eux, sont toujours là. Dans un monde où l'instinct est de se replier sur soi-même, la Belgique choisit de rester engagée. Merci, Tom, pour ton leadership. Le travail que font tes équipes, souvent au péril de leur vie, mérite bien plus de reconnaissance qu’il n’en reçoit. —— 🇺🇳 Het was goed om vanochtend in Brussel met Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief aan tafel te zitten. In tijden als deze is regelmatig contact tussen donoren en leiders in de humanitaire sector van cruciaal belang. De realiteit is grimmig. De humanitaire behoeften nemen toe, terwijl de financiering afneemt. Hulpverleners worden op ongekende schaal aangevallen. En de aandacht van de wereld is versnipperd over te veel crisissen tegelijk. België zal niet wegkijken. Humanitaire hulp betekent elke dag weer levens redden. Daarom ondersteunen we onze nieuwe Belgische humanitaire strategie met flexibele, voorspelbare financiering over meerdere jaren. Want hulporganisaties ter plaatse moeten kunnen plannen, niet alleen reageren. We hebben gesproken over onze recente extra steun aan Libanon. Maar ik heb ook de vele vergeten crisissen ter sprake gebracht die niet langer de krantenkoppen halen, maar waar mensen net zo goed lijden. Soedan, de Sahel, het gebied van de Grote Meren, Myanmar, enz. De camera's zijn misschien verder getrokken, maar de noden zijn gebleven. In een wereld waar de neiging bestaat om zich naar binnen te keren, kiest België ervoor om betrokken te blijven. Bedankt, Tom, voor je leiderschap. Het werk dat je teams verrichten, vaak met groot persoonlijk risico, verdient veel meer erkenning dan het krijgt. @BelgiumMFA

At last week’s #HNPW on the Humanitarian Reset - we discussed how we’ve become leaner, more local and focused on reaching those in greatest need. Our thoughts visualized through live illustration. ⬇️
