Description
SECURITY COUNCIL
The Secretary-General spoke at the high-level Security Council meeting on the protection of civilians in armed conflict. He said that armed conflict is a key factor driving food insecurity around the world. Last year, more than 117 million people faced acute hunger primarily because of war and insecurity.
ECOSOC OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT SEGMENT
At the opening and high-level dialogue between the Secretary-General and UN Member States of the 2023 ECOSOC Operational Activities for Development Segment, the Secretary-General warned that halfway through the timeline of the 2030 Agenda, we are leaving more than half the world behind, poverty and hunger are again growing, the climate crisis is escalating, and conflict and persecution have forced one hundred million people from their homes.
The Secretary-General underscored that the Resident Coordinator system is the anchor for all our efforts to support countries in achieving the 2030 Agenda, and yet, in 2022, the Resident Coordinator system suffered from a funding gap of $85 million.
SUDAN
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says that, following the recent ceasefire agreement, humanitarian organizations are ready to move 168 trucks to reach more than 4 million people across the country. Conditions are not allowing for a full-scale operation.
However, despite the challenges, the UN and partners are expanding humanitarian operations to some locations in Sudan.
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO
