It is also a day, when we mark Romania’s extensive progress in improving its disaster risk management system.
I had the honour to hand over the #EUCivilProtectionMechanism peer review to 🇷🇴 PM @NicolaeCiuca, underlining this significant evolvement.

In Romania today, a day when we mark 1 year of 🇷🇺 war against 🇺🇦 but also a day when we should acknowledge everyone helping to protect Ukrainian people.
🇷🇴 is a critical partner to our biggest & most complex #EUCivilProtectionMechanism operation ever, running in support of 🇺🇦.

One year of brutal Russian aggression.
One year of heroic Ukrainian resistance.
One year of European solidarity.
Ahead of us is a future of unity.
You are fighting for freedom, for democracy, and for your place in the European Union.
We are with you, for as long as it takes.

There is a place in #Brussels where lights never goes out. The Emergency Response Coordination Centre deploys emergency support for disaster-stricken countries worldwide 24/7. Now they have Search&Rescue teams in Turkey/Syria.
Simply impressive work 👏

The United Nations General Assembly #UNGA has voted today.
141 countries called for a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in #Ukraine.
The overwhelming majority of the international community has spoken clearly: Russia must stop its aggression.
It needs to stop now.

Until then, the EU will continue to give Ukraine the support to defend its population
And we will work to hold Russia accountable for its actions & war crimes. #accountability
This is a moment for every member of the UN to stand and be counted
We must support this resolution.

Conflicts are on the rise and remain the key driver of humanitarian needs.
Civilians, including humanitarian workers, continue to bear the brunt of conflicts.
Timely exchange with @ICRCPresident about ensuring humanitarian access and protection of civilians in line with #IHL.

Hear from our colleague Daniele 🤳, who followed firefighting teams from Spain, Portugal and France deployed in Chile as part of the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism support mission. 🔥🧑🚒
RT @ECHO_LatAm: #Chile called for international help in the battle against an intense wave of wildfires.

We are witnessing an unprecedented level of humanitarian needs, yet only top 10 donors continue to provide over 80% of relief funding.
Humanitarian aid is a 🌍 responsibility.
Grateful to Dr Al Rabeeah, Supervisor General of @KSRelief for underlining this also during the #RIHF.

We are facing a record level of humanitarian needs, yet the 🌍 funding gap keeps growing, while the donor base remains too narrow.
Humanitarian aid should be a widely shared responsibility.
As one of the top donors, the @EU_Commission is stepping up for people in Yemen. #RIHF

Excellent exchange w/ the SG @GCCSG on further strengthening of joint efforts by the 🇪🇺 and the States of the Gulf to provide life-saving assistance to millions of people around the 🌍, while the donor base remains stubbornly narrow and humanitarian funding gap continues to grow.

On the sidelines of the 3rd #RIHF today with Minister State for Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia Adel al-Jubeir on how to strengthen the 🇪🇺🇸🇦 dialogue on humanitarian affairs in view of the dramatically increased humanitarian needs 🌍 and the growing funding gap. #StrongerTogether

My key point at the 3rd #RIHF: We need to do more, faster, and be even better prepared, because the curve of humanitarian needs 🌍 will keep going up.
Above all, however, we need political action, to stop and prevent conflicts, because that is the cause of most of the needs.
