Great meeting with EU Commissioner @hadjalahbib.bsky.social to reinforce our cooperation in providing humanitarian aid outside the EU, also with UN agencies, and investing in long-term preparedness and resilience. We are working together to build a secure and stable future for all.

Our EU Delegation in #Kyiv was heavily damaged this morning when a Russian missile struck a neighbouring building. The explosion shattered windows and caused a ceiling collapse. All our staff are safe. 🇪🇺🇺🇦

Today is all about you, #aidworkers, who carry light into darkness. You cross the frontlines with nothing but courage, tend to the wounded, feed the hungry, hold the forgotten. In a world where the laws of war are broken, you represent our humanity.

1/ 🔥🇪🇺 Southern Europe is burning. For weeks, dozens of wildfires have swept across Spain, Portugal, Italy, Turkey, Albany, France and Greece. Tens of thousands of hectares lost. Homes, forests, and lives destroyed. This is a regional tragedy — and a warning for all of Europe.

Today, I am taking part in the Foreign Affairs Council urgently convened by @kajakallas. On the agenda: Ukraine. No peace can be lasting without 🇺🇦 at the table. Gaza. The humanitarian situation is unbearable. This is no time for division. 🇪🇺 must speak with one single voice.

Less than 3 hours after #Albania requested assistance to fight wildfires, 2 Canadairs from 🇬🇷 & 1 from 🇮🇹 from the #rescEU fleet were deployed this afternoon. The canadairs are offering support to local teams battling the fires in Vlora & Dibër counties.

Last night, Russia launched its largest attack on #Ukraine to date. 3 yrs into this nightmare, the suffering continues to deepen. As Russia shows utter disregard of IHL, the EU continues to stand by Ukraine, delivering life-saving aid & supporting those hit hardest by the war.

Today, we’re strengthening 🇪🇺’s resilience with 2 new strategies. 📦Stockpiling Strategy, the EU’s first unified approach to ensure essential goods are ready when needed. 💊Medical Countermeasures Strategy, so we can respond faster & save lives in a health crisis. Preparing together. Safer together.

The agreement reached between the #DRC & #Rwanda in Washington brings hope to hundreds of thousands displaced and a step toward regional stability. I call for unhindered humanitarian access so that the EU, together with its partners, can continue delivering vital aid.

In Geneva, great open discussion with UN partners on the EU–UN strategic partnership & our principled approach. You can count on the EU to make the UN stronger & more efficient in a fast-changing world. The UN system must step up on the nexus to support long-term resilience.

On board with the 🇸🇪 Coast Guard, key players in Sweden’s maritime security & Total Defence. As risks rise, so does our cooperation. Grateful for their EU solidarity and for their commitment to keeping us safe.

Hadja Lahbib @hadjalahbib.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

Killed for a crust of bread & a drop of water. The 3rd deadly attack in days on starving people in #Gaza. Israel must allow full humanitarian access. Let UN partners with real expertise work. Impartially, independently, by humanitarian principles. A starving human is not a target.

052

Hadja Lahbib @hadjalahbib.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

Bringing all parts of the 🇸🇪 civil defence together shows everyone has a role to play. Preparedness means collaboration: across municipalities, business, education, health, voluntary & defence organisations. An enriching exchange on being ready for the full spectrum of risks.

Hadja Lahbib @hadjalahbib.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

At the MSB Crisis Centre, Sweden’s Civil Contingencies Agency coordinates resilience efforts with 60 agencies nationwide. Great to hear about the strong coordination with the ERCC too. Preparedness isn’t just a plan—it’s daily business for the whole society and government.

Humanitarian aid must never be politicised or militarised. It must protect, not degrade. Aid must be delivered with the UN & experienced humanitarian partners in line with #IHL. Let us deliver. A political solution is the only way forward.

As summer begins, so do the risks of wildfires. 🇪🇺 is stepping up its preparedness: over 650 firefighters from 14 countries are prepositioned, with 22 planes & 4 helicopters on standby. Spain plays a key role, hosting teams & rescEU Canadairs. This is European solidarity in action.

Je réitère mon appel à Israël pour que les écoles dans les territoires palestiniens occupés soient protégées. La fermeture de 6 écoles à Jérusalem-Est privera plus de 800 enfants d’éducation et de futur . Les écoles & les enfants ne doivent jamais être des cibles.

050

Hadja Lahbib @hadjalahbib.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

I reiterate my call on Israel to protect schools instead of closing them in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Closing 6 more schools in East Jerusalem will force 800+ children out of an education & a hopeful future. Education and children must never be targets.
