A worsening drought in South Sudan, driven in part by the ongoing El Niño, is putting lives and livelihoods at risk.   I’ve allocated $6M from UN’s Global Emergency Fund CERF to support early action, including food, health, nutrition, protection, water and sanitation services.

Grateful to Archbishop of Canterbury for her voice on humanitarian crises. When wars end, communities must be reconciled. That patient, human work of healing is often led by faith. Our common cause: protecting people, upholding principle and building conditions for lasting peace.

Spoke with #Cuba's Foreign Minister Rodriguez at #UNGA on Cuba's deteriorating humanitarian situation. We're on the ground, supporting the response and pushing for unimpeded aid. We need fuel for hospitals and civilian infrastructure.

Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi of Jordan has been such a great colleague this week, especially on protection of aid workers. #Jordan is backing access corridors for aid, field hospitals in Palestine and much more. We need this leadership to get lifesaving help in before winter.

We’re at business end of UN week. Let’s now test if commitments translate to lives saved. All week, local leaders – not me – have led us. We passed yesterday 40m people reached so far this year. In awe of humanitarian movement that has done that, against the odds.

On Day 5(00) of #UNGA, the focus has been on the detail of the ten asks we’ve set out for this week. Plus making the case through the media for why the public should back humanitarians. Working together across humanitarian leadership. And drawing strength from great ancestors.

Crucial meeting at UNGA with Lebanon's Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and UN Principals. Attacks on healthcare. Movement restrictions. Infrastructure repairs blocked. The UN and the Government have shared goals: protect civilians, open access, uphold international humanitarian law.

Tom Fletcher @tomfletcherun.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

El Niño is bearing down on a country already on the edge. And we need to unblock every chokehold standing between food and the people who desperately need it. Met #Somalia's Deputy Prime Minister Salah Jama. #UNGA.

Tom Fletcher @tomfletcherun.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Met Vice-President Al-Alimi Bawzer at #UNGA. Funding is falling short in Yemen. Conflict is escalating. Access is a daily challenge. With it we could reach 3m more people in extreme need. We agreed to work for it, and for full protection of humanitarians.

Tom Fletcher @tomfletcherun.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

What will world without international humanitarian law be like? Two ways to find out. Look at history to see what humans do without restraint. Or look at what is happening to civilians in the atrocities labs where humanitarians serve right now: they’re on frontline of impunity. #UNGA81

Tom Fletcher @tomfletcherun.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Part of my plan this week at #UNGA is to get out of the way. I've invited exceptional humanitarian leaders from Cameroon, Mali, Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan and Venezuela to co-lead our meetings. They can speak about challenges our movement faces far more powerfully than I can.

Tom Fletcher @tomfletcherun.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
