Near-term thinking is making the problems we face today more intractable, divisive & dangerous. My message to politicians and decisionmakers: Don’t focus solely on what may happen to you today – and dither. Look at what will happen to all of us tomorrow – and act.

My thoughts & solidarity to all impacted by the #earthquakes in Turkiye, Syria & across the region

We are calling for US $ 2.6 million urgently to cover needs of some 56k #PalestineRefugees who are tragically impacted by the #earthquakes

colleagues are on the ground in #Aleppo #Latakia assessing situation and starting on a response with food and non food items

I visited the camps around Aleppo 2 weeks ago witnessing the tragedy of years of conflict & hardship. This earthquake adds an unbelievable layer of misery.

So far 6 #PalestineRefugees incl 2 children who went to

schools in #Nairab camp near #Aleppo confirmed dead.

700 #PalestineRefugees spent last night in

facilities incl schools in #Latakia following devastating #earthquake. People often find refuge in #UNRWA schools during emergencies

Insightful discussion with
