After more than 1,000 days of war in Sudan, millions of people have had their lives uprooted. This is the story of one of them. Fleeing the violence, “Nafeesa” found refuge in the town of Birao, across the border in the Central African Republic. With support from @United Nations Peacekeeping and @We help refugees, she and her family secured shelter and began rebuilding their lives.

“If we fail to put our common humanity first, we risk losing everything that makes us strong.” As the world experiences a whirlwind of often unsettling, rapid change, UN Secretary-General António Guterres has stressed the need for greater solidarity between people and nations. “We must build united societies in a world of united nations.”

“The United Nations is a living promise – a promise that despite our differences, we will solve problems together.” Secretary-General António Guterres has pledged that the UN will never give up its critical work with and for people around the globe to build a better future for all. “Even in the rough seas of today, we can anchor our action in peace, dignity, and hope.”

The people of Sudan are enduring unimaginable suffering. 1,000+ days of conflict. 12 million uprooted. 21 million facing hunger. The @World Food Programme | WFP continues its lifesaving work in the country, but urgent funding is needed to reach those most at risk.

The United States' military intervention in Venezuela violates the country’s sovereignty and the UN charter, while also damaging the foundations of international security, making every country less safe. In a statement issued on Monday, @UN Human Rights Office chief Volker Türk said that this weekend’s operation carried out by the US in Venezuela undermines a fundamental principle of international law. “States must not use force to pursue their territorial claims or political demands,” he stressed.

“Our future depends on our collective courage to act. This new year, let’s rise together: For justice. For humanity. For peace.” — #UnitedNations Secretary-General António Guterres shares a message of hope and a global call for peace for the year ahead. #newyear2026

🔷Hope 🔷Possibility 🔷Cooperation These are some of the words that came to people's mind when asked what the #UnitedNations meant to them. Amid global challenges, we will continue our vital work in the year ahead to build a better future for everyone, everywhere.

Every act of survival — eating, washing, caring for a child — is a struggle in #Gaza. Women and girls need not only aid, but safety, care, and the means to rebuild their lives. Their message: don’t look away. — via @UN Women

Are we alone in the universe? Professor Brian Cox – the UN’s new Champion for Space – reflects on one of humanity’s biggest questions, and explains why exploring space matters for all life on Earth.

Harsh winter weather is closing in on people in Gaza, making a desperate situation even more unbearable. Tents are collapsing under heavy rain, children are freezing, and exhausted families have nowhere left to go. Humanitarians are delivering against all odds, but restrictions must be lifted so they can reach more people in need. — via @UN Humanitarian

186 nutrition centres have closed across #SouthSudan in 2025. This means that children and babies suffering from severe acute malnutrition are at risk of being left without lifelines, without the care they need to survive. @UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Liam Neeson reminds us that investing in children is a necessity and that funding must urgently be maintained so that every child can survive and thrive.

Today, an estimated 1.3 billion people live with a significant disability. No one understands the needs of persons with disabilities better than they do themselves. “Around the world, people with disabilities face countless barriers every day — not just the physical ones, but the invisible walls of bias, judgment, silence, and exclusion,” says disability rights activist and SDG Advocate @Muniba Mazari. To achieve a more inclusive and accessible world, people with disabilities must have a seat at decision-making tables. “Real change begins when we place disability inclusion at the centre of social progress,” adds Muniba Mazari. #GlobalGoals

In Gaza, unexploded ordnances, such as bombs and missiles that did not detonate, liter populated areas — placing communities in grave danger. Our colleagues from the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) are working with partners to remove these hazards to protect lives and create safe routes for the movement of people and humanitarian assistance.

Digital violence is spreading at an alarming speed — fueled by artificial intelligence, anonymity and the absence of effective laws and accountability. Women are disproportionately affected, yet nearly half of the world’s women and girls still lack legal protection from online abuse. On Tuesday’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, join us in calling for urgent action to protect everyone online — from safer platforms to victim support, laws that work and investment in prevention.
