On #WorldHealthDay we also think of people on the move - refugees and migrants for whom access to life-saving health services is especially difficult. https://t.co/mpQSNzCofq

At a time when hatred is used again as a political tool, let us be in spirit with the people of Rwanda as they observe the 25th anniversary of the genocide, and reflect on its tragic lesson. https://t.co/5Tnu9DUQbb

Venezuelans continue to leave their country, often in dangerous circumstances. They need urgent support and so do countries and communities hosting them. https://t.co/w3Mb4CdfJd

The conflict in Libya risks getting worse, says UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres after his visit there. The impact on civilians would be disastrous. Work by @UNmigration and #UNHCR to help migrants and refugees stranded in Libya would become even more difficult. https://t.co/bethn6Bjc8

Today is #MineAwarenessDay - landmines remain a big risk in areas emerging from conflict, especially for children, and also for refugees and displaced who return home. Support demining! @UNMAS #IMAD2019 https://t.co/XrtJu5HA85

Another example of African humanitarian leadership: seven countries (Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Uganda) sign a declaration promoting access to jobs and self-reliance for refugees and communities hosting them. @igadsecretariat https://t.co/VlUqzSxmx8 https://t.co/0mdwgwsKsE
