Russia is trying to return us to a world of the past. A world of imperialism. A world of redrawing borders by force. A world without the @UN Charter. We cannot allow that to happen. 🇬🇧🇺🇳 @DavidLammy in the UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine.

Myanmar must not be forgotten. Three years ago, the Myanmar military overturned the democratically elected government. Military airstrikes are killing civilians. In Rakhine State, communities like the Rohingya face the dire impact of the escalating conflict. We must act.

The people of Myanmar deserve peace. That’s why the UK is imposing new sanctions to curb the military’s access to resources. Together with partners, we call for renewed efforts to secure a peaceful and democratic future for Myanmar.

The UK, in partnership with the US and Canada, is sanctioning Myanmar arms dealers and military financiers. Our work with North American allies will make it harder for existing sanctions to be dodged.

The scale of the #LibyaFloods is shocking. We are launching a flash appeal for US$71.4 million to swiftly assist 250,000 people. Getting lifesaving supplies to people and preventing a secondary health crisis is essential. Our flash appeal: bit.ly/3sORFWV

The #Myanmar military is illegally targeting civilians, including attacks on schools. One year ago, an airstrike on a school in #LetYetKone village killed 11 children. We continue to call for the military to be held accountable for such crimes.

This is why #Rohingya refugees in #Bangladesh can barely afford the bare essentials. In just three months @WFP has been forced to dramatically cut assistance: from $12 to $10 to $8 per person, per month. Now we're running out of $$$ – and families are running out of food.
