I can’t stop thinking about the people I met in this reception centre. They urgently need better living conditions - regular meals, basic hygiene, access to school. If not, their children’s health will deteriorate rapidly. Medicines can only do so much in such an environment.

In a reception centre in north-west #Syria, @DrTedros met people displaced several times due to the conflict & earthquakes. They need dignified shelter, basic sanitation, clean water, food, school for children & more access to healthcare. WHO will find solutions with partners.

Too many people have lived through horror the last two years, and have endured enormous loss. Eritrea’s continued massacring of civilians in #Tigray has to stop. Peace is the first step towards recovery.

The international community has forgotten #Syria. Situation is heartbreaking. 12 years of war, economic collapse, COVID19, drought and now earthquake. Anyone can imagine through what horror the Syrian people are passing through. Where is humanity?

Due to the conflict, Mohammed stopped school after the 3rd grade. Education is a key element to keeping populations healthy. I hope peace can be achieved and basic services restored, so Mohammed and other children in north-west #Syria can have a healthier, safer, fairer future.

With so many crises in the world now, the global community must not forget the people of #Yemen. We welcome the 31 pledges made today totalling over $1.2 billion, but much more is needed. After 9 years of conflict, the needs, including for healthcare, are dire.
