More conflicts since 1945 than ever before. Yet in 2023 NGO peace mediation budgets were just 0.01% of military spending. The aid efficiency debate is real. But it's downstream of a much bigger failure. Inside Geneva podcast this week with @imogenfoulkes.bsky.social: bit.ly/3QD8eS1

In Greece, we meet people who have survived journeys that no one should ever be forced to take. When people who have fled extreme violence and persecution reach Europe they expect safety. Instead, they are “treated as suspects”. @chrislockyear.msf.org, describes the situation from Lesbos 👇

Current events are making it challenging to track MPs and reputable organisations that are permanently migrating to Bluesky. If folks see examples that we need to assess for verification - do let me know. Will limit it largely to politicians, govt orgs and large orgs at the moment for this pass.

I have no doubt that @chrislockyear.msf.org could have spoken for hours about the horrific crimes of war in Sudan. But the real question is - what will the #UNSC do? They’ve mastered the art of listening, but where is the action on Peace and Security?

The possible ceasefire in #Gaza must be respected and long-term, it is only the first step in addressing the overwhelming humanitarian, psychological, and medical needs in Gaza. We urge all parties to ensure humanitarian aid reaches people across the Strip now.
