Humanitarians are denied access to people in need. Aid is being obstructed, knowingly. Civilian infrastructure is being targeted, intentionally. Violence against civilians is used as a weapon of war.

As intl. community, we have to stand firm: respect for #IHL is non-negotiable.

In 2023, humanitarian needs are expected to hit new records, yet humanitarian access remains a major hurdle. Conflicts remain the main cause of humanitarian crises, with civilians bearing the heaviest burden, while security of humanitarian workers is ever more endangered.

Responsibility of providing life-saving aid to people caught in crises is global.

Yet, the 10 largest donors of humanitarian aid alone provide more than 80% of all funding.

This is not sustainable.

At #wef23 about the urgency of broadening the funding base in fragile contexts.

At #wef23 with @DrTedros about health emergencies around the 🌍, impacting most vulnerable.

Humanitarian needs projections are devastating.

The funding gap is growing. The donors base remains too narrow.

Every country should do its fair part. So should the private sector.

At the margins of the #wef23 meeting in @Davos also met with @AxelVT_WB.

W/ 🇫🇮 MFA @Haavisto in @Davos at #wef23 about most pressing challenges, impacting most vulnerable.

EU is a leading humanitarian donor for decades. Yet the humanitarian funding gap is growing.

This global responsibility should be shared fairer, also by the private sector.

Humanitarian needs have exploded‼️ Yet, globally, 10 donors of humanitarian aid alone provide over 80% of all funding.

Humanitarian needs around the 🌍 have exploded.

Key drivers remain conflicts; climate change is increasingly more devastating.

The @EU_Commission 2023 funding will continue to ensure that humanitarian aid is available for most vulnerable, no matter who and where they are.

.@Davos underlining the need to review @wef’s Humanitarian Resilience Investing in the new 🌍 context.

🔴More funding is needed right now.
🔴Longer term solutions that build human and community resilience are needed.

➡️Innovative financing can play a role in delivering on both.

My deepest condolences to the families and colleagues of everyone on board of the helicopter that chrased near Kyiv.

Minister Denis Monastyrskiy, his deputy Yevhen Yenin and State Secretary Yuriy Lubkovych were exceptional in their mission to secure 🇺🇦people in this brutal war.
