Thank you to EU Ministers for chance to join them in Dublin.
My challenges to humanitarian community and supporters … Is reform yet meeting the moment? How do we reconnect with public? And who will help reimagine humanitarianism?

I echo @UNReliefChief Tom’s call to all parties in northern #Ethiopia to open humanitarian corridors and allow us to reach all people in need of health and humanitarian lifesaving assistance. The best medicine is peace.

Tom Fletcher@UNReliefChief · Oct 5In northern Ethiopia, our teams are working to get life-saving food, health and other help to people in need.
Fighting continues to harm and displace civilians, drive up needs and disrupt our work.
All parties must give aid workers safe and rapid access.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus@DrTedros · Oct 6The Government of #Kenya has reported imported case of #Ebola caused by Bundibugyo virus, in a Kenyan citizen who had been living in the #DRC. The patient became ill in DRC and received treatment in several hospitals, then travelled from DRC to Nairobi via Kampala, Uganda. He died in Nairobi yesterday. My condolences to his family and loved ones.
@WHO is supporting the governments of Kenya, the DRC, and Uganda in contact tracing, surveillance, screening, and other response measures to rapidly identify potential cases and prevent further spread of the virus.
WHO advises against any restriction of travel to, or trade with, the affected countries based on the currently available information. We continue to closely monitor and, where necessary, verify travel and trade measures in relation to this epidemic. afro.who.int/countries/keny…
