Hunger and War—Why the World Can't Look Away | Opinion The tools to prevent and end conflict exist. The mechanisms to protect civilians from starvation are in place.

This @newsweek.com piece comes from moments I carry — not headlines, but realities I’ve stood inside. Not distant stories, but shared pain.
I’ve seen in #Sudan, #Gaza, #Syria, #DRC. The reasons differ, but results don’t: Some go days without food. Some are starving.

Many of us are carrying a quiet, steady weight.
Not just from headlines— but from what we absorb & are expected to manage as #humanitarians.
Colleagues lost. Access denied. Principles eroded.
Humanitarian leadership now isn’t about certainty — it’s about persistence
What’s helping you stay centered?

A mother shouldn’t have to choose which child gets to eat today — #DRC (Democratic Republic of #Congo), that’s a heartbreaking reality. Entire communities are teetering on the brink of survival as #foodinsecurity deepens. It’s time to step up, amplify their voices, and rally for #urgentaction.

#ClimateCrisis hits communities more frequently & severely. #Philippines is again bearing the brunt. Repeated crises compounded vulnerabilities, leaving millions affected & #livelihoods destroyed.
This is a call to address #ClimateChange and support #AnticipatoryAction.

I continue to learn from the strength & courage of women. Their stories of struggles & dreams teach me invaluable lessons in resilience & urgency to create systemic changes.
Ending #GBV is tough, but every step takes us closer to a safer & more just world for women & girls. #16DaysOfActivism #16days

Congratulations on stepping into this critical role! Your focus on listening, frontline engagement, efficiency & principled #HumanitarianAction resonates deeply. I hope we can advance #GenderEquality, meaningful #partnerships & accountability to those we serve. Wishing you success in this journey!

#Philippines reels from #TyphoonManyi's devastation—an urgent call for action. The #ClimateCrisis is here. We must act boldly, now, to build resilience & prioritize those most at risk. Invest in #humanitarian aid, and #AnticipatoryAction. Every second matters.

⚠️Only 8 out of 78 world leaders at #COP29Baku are women⚠️
Is it any wonder that only 2% of #climate funding reaches communities with a focus on #GenderEquality? Women are at the forefront of solutions yet remain sidelined. It’s time to change this. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction

Thank you Tom. Great to reconnect with you here.

The #Gaza Scorecard reveals, in no uncertain terms, the severe impact on civilians. Despite #US & international calls for action, #Israel has not met essential #humanitarian benchmarks.
This isn’t just about aid—it’s about the right to #dignity, survival, #protection. #ActForHumanity #CeasefireNow
