National staff and volunteers are on the frontline of humanitarian response.
They must carry out critical and life-saving activities safely and with unimpeded access.
We reiterate - today and every day - that civilians and humanitarians are not a target.

One year since conflict erupted, Sudan is now one of the world's fastest unfolding crises.
More than 8.6 million people – about 16 per cent of the total population of the country – have fled their homes.
Let's silence the guns and give peace a chance.

Monday's Humanitarian Conference in Paris was critical to raising funds and attention for Sudan - a country that has been chronically overlooked and under-resourced.
Thank you to Stéphane Séjourné, @Abaerbock & Janez Lenarčič for hosting and to all donors for their pledges.
Wonderful to have a powerful voice like Joyce Msuya's at the helm of the global advocacy on Sudan.
Thank you for your support and leadership.
It was a pleasure to meet with Dr. Abdullah Al Rabeeah and engage on critical humanitarian priorities in Sudan.
مركز الملك سلمان للإغاثة is a critical partner, and I look forward to continuing our collaboration.
The conflict in Sudan has heightened risks of GBV, especially for women and girls.
Children are significantly vulnerable, with a five-fold increase in violations, killings, and recruitment by armed groups.
Urgent action is needed to protect civilians.
