El Niño is back, and it is more powerful than ever. We must act urgently to limit the impact. With @WMO, we have set out the potential impact. And called for action.

Killing humanitarians takes a chain of people. I want them to feel fear, shame, guilt. We demand they are held to account. Here are three ways to do that. My speech in Brussels today on protecting humanitarians.

Always privilege to spend time with Irish Prime Minister, Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD. His principled leadership and practical experience are crucial to crises - where we are delivering humanitarian support against odds.

These are rough times - exactly what the UN was built for. My interview with @BBCr4today👇
"The UN is under sustained attack, the values that forged us feel like they're dying...with that war time generation." UN Under Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher says now is the time for 'moral ambition' in leadership, particularly when 'the public square is dominated by weak, insecure figures'.

This UN week, leaders of local humanitarian organisations co-led my delegation. This was about some of us getting out of the way, listening and learning. They were clear: we need genuine shift of power and mindset across sector, more protection of workers, more funding.

Now it can feel like the United Nations is completely paralysed with inaction, but @UNReliefChief tells me that, despite struggles, the organisation is saving tens of millions of lives this year.
