.⁦⁦@twickerati⁩ Found at the traffic lights outside cabbage patch pub this evening and handed it in to the pub - can you retweet?

Love that my sister Alex has gone viral again. 🤣🤣🤣

With great sadness we inform you of the passing of our founding coordinator Simon Russell, in the UK on 5 June.    Simon was, quite simply, extraordinary – a leader in humanitarian action & human rights, and a warm and delightful person.   A heart of gold.

I’ve just learned that Simon Russell - humanitarian activist extraordinaire - has passed away. I’m devastated by his sudden and unexpected death. He was an incredible force for good in the world and a critical voice advocating systemic reform: fmreview.org/community-prot…

Hear hear!

Some quick news about me. I've come to the end of my 25 year shift at Sky News. I leave with fantastic memories from all over the world. Not the best time to be going freelance, but it seemed like a great idea back in December! Looking forward to being an NHS volunteer driver.

You are an inspiration,@KarimAlbrem

Honored to be the host of our new podcast. I hope this series of interviews with colleagues who devote and risk their lives to help others will move you as much as it did me. Do subscribe!

Honoured to be received by His Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan. We discussed the need to work on durable solutions for Syrian refugees and to ensure continued support for countries hosting them. @RHCJO

Meeting at Jordanian @PrimeMinistry with PM Al-Razzazz, @AymanHsafadi @mary_kawar: in spite of many challenges Jordan remains a hospitable country for Syrian+other refugees. Donors must stay the course in supporting Jordan!

In Belfast today: peace takes patience, persistence, compromise and courage. It is never perfect. And it takes a long time.

Learning with deep sadness of the passing of #KofiAnnan: international leader, wise mentor, valuable adviser, good friend, role model. We at UNHCR - and millions of others around the world - will miss him very much.

#SouthSudan #Refugees describe priorities. Peace paramount to enable safe returns. Education, health & livelihoods key now. @UNHCREthiopia

My statement of this morning to the UN Security Council. unhcr.org/59fb25ad4

Rohingya refugee children swim in a makeshift camp in Bangladesh: I asked their mothers what they need most. "Everything," they replied.

Ending conflicts, investing in real economic development & providing legal pathways will reduce flows across Mediterranean. Nothing else.

Struck by sense of despair of refugees in Cox's Bazaar: tangible progress in Myanmar & better opportunities can restore trust in the future.

UN Refugee agency: Record 65.6 million people displaced worldwide bbc.co.uk/news/world-403…

As peace remains elusive for most in South Sudan, it's even more urgent to help displaced+other people stay healthy, busy, sheltered & safe.
