Description

In Ethiopia, our humanitarian colleagues tell us that although access is limited in areas where conflict is ongoing, humanitarian assistance has started to gradually trickle into Tigray.

The UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) today denied press reports that were claiming that the town of Bambari had fallen and remained under the control of the UPC armed group.

In a statement issued today, the Central African Republic Country-Specific Configuration of the Peacebuilding Commission strongly condemned the recent attacks on civilians, peacekeepers and humanitarian workers, as well as violations of the Political Agreement.

Also today, the UN Human Rights Office said that they were deeply alarmed by the reports of escalating violence in the Central African Republic just days ahead of the elections.

The UN in Bosnia and Herzegovina is very concerned about the effective closure of the Lipa temporary reception camp, in the Una-Sana Canton, that took place today.

The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) warned that approximately 250,000 children have been displaced by the escalating crisis in the northern province of Cabo Delgado, in Mozambique.

Our sincere thanks go today to Gambia, for its full payment to the regular budget. This takes us to 142 fully paid-up Member States.
