Syria, Gaza, Sudan & other topics - Daily Press Briefing (21 January 2026) | United Nations

Noon briefing by Farhan Haq, Deputy Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: Syria Occupied Palestinian Territories Deputy Secretary-General/Travels Sudan Mozambique Bangladesh Security Council Global Foreign Investment Honour Roll SYRIA In response to questions about the situation in Syria, the Deputy Spokesperson said that we are closely monitoring developments on the ground and reiterate that the protection of civilians must remain paramount. All parties have a clear responsibility to avoid actions that could endanger civilians, inflame tensions, or trigger further displacement. The Secretary-General urges all parties to sustain de-escalation, uphold the ceasefire, and implement the details of the latest understanding without delay and in a spirit of compromise, with full respect for the rights, safety, and dignity of all communities. OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY As Gaza remains in the grip of winter, another hypothermia-related child death was reported by the Gaza Ministry of Health yesterday. This brings the total number of reported deaths linked to cold weather this season to nine. Once again, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs calls for urgent solutions, including allowing the entry of batteries, solar panels and other energy sources that are needed to set up communal heating spaces.  Our food security partners have reached more 860,000 people so far this month with food packages distributed through 50 distribution points across the Strip. We also continue to provide some 1.6 million hot meals every day to people in need.   On the health front, our partners vaccinated 3,000 children in the first two days of the 10-day vaccination campaign which began on Sunday. The campaign aims to further protect children under three from vaccine-preventable diseases.  And on Monday, the World Health Organization facilitated another medical evacuation of 21 patients and their companions to Jordan. However, more than 18,000 patients, including 4,000 children, remain on the list of people to be evacuated to receive medical care that is not available in Gaza. WHO called on more Member States to accept these patients and for the re-opening of the medical evacuation route to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.   Most of the people in Gaza continue to be uprooted, with some 1.3 million people estimated to be spread over 970 sites across Gaza – the majority of them in the cities of Deir al Balah and Khan Younis.   Our partners working on water, sanitation and hygiene warn that approximately 70 per cent of Gaza City’s total water production is currently disrupted, due to challenges related to repairing the Mekorot water supply line. The line comes from Israel into Gaza and is located east of the so-called “Yellow Line,” where Israeli forces remain deployed.   An assessment of the pipeline identified the need for a section of steel pipe that is not available in Gaza and is restricted from entry into Gaza as a “dual use” item. A request that one of our partners made to repair the Safa well, another important water source for Gaza City, was denied by the Israeli authorities on Sunday.   Our partners are looking at alternative water sources and scaling up water trucking to ensure continued access to safe water. OCHA reiterates the need for expanded access, including to critical items deemed as “dual use,” without which improvements to the most basic of services – such as access to safe water – will not happen.   DEPUTY SECRETARY-GENERAL/TRAVELS The Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed, is departing Switzerland later today and will continue to Copenhagen, Denmark, where she will deliver a keynote address to the Danish Parliament on the topic “The Future of the United Nations in a Turbulent World”. During her visit, she will also meet with senior government officials on the UN–Denmark partnership and discuss pathways to advance the 2030 Agenda. Following her visit to Copenhagen, the Deputy Secretary-General will also travel to France, where she will participate in the International Day of Education event organized by UNESCO on Friday 23 January. The event is focused on the role of youth in co-creating education systems that are inclusive, resilient, and fit for the future and will build on the outcomes of the Transforming Education Summit, highlighting the importance of youth leadership and partnership in advancing education reform. During her visit, she will also meet with senior government officials and other stakeholders. Full Highlights: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/noon-briefing-highlight?date=2026-01-21

At the Edge of War – A Mother's Escape

After more than 1,000 days of war in Sudan, millions have been uprooted. This is the story of one of them. “Nafeesa,” as we call her, fled the violence and found refuge across the border, in the town of Birao, in the Central African Republic. With support from the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), she and her family secured shelter and began rebuilding their lives alongside the host community. Security in the border area is reinforced by the UN peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA), which conducts patrols and supports local stability efforts. (more here: https://minusca.unmissions.org/en/mandat) Nafeesa recounts what she has endured – and how, in exile, she found a strength more powerful than any weapon of war.

How to lead forces for peace, with Cheryl Pearce | UN ‘Awake at Night’ podcast teaser

After enlisting at 18, Cheryl Pearce battled rigid gender barriers to rise through the military ranks. Now the UN’s Acting Military Adviser for Peacekeeping Operations, the Australian-born Lieutenant General is the highest ranking woman in uniform within the United Nations. “Peace for me, is seeing communities having food security, having water security, education, knowing, you know, as a mum myself, knowing that my children can grow up to feel like that. They can have a life and a future and fulfill their dreams and goals.” Lieutenant General Pearce knows what it takes to serve in some of the most difficult places on earth, from East Timor to Afghanistan. In this episode, she reflects on the sources of her mental and physical resilience, on making a robust case for peacekeeping in an age of disinformation, and shares why her family wants her to show her chaotic side once in a while. #podcast #UnitedNations #awakeatnight #peacekeeping #women

UN Chief on entry into force of the agreement on marine biodiversity in international waters (BBNJ)

Message by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, for the entry into force of the agreement on marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction. --- Today marks a watershed moment for the ocean. The Agreement on Marine Biological Diversity of Areas beyond National Jurisdiction, the BBNJ Agreement, is now in force. This is a historic achievement – for people and planet; for international cooperation and the United Nations. This treaty establishes the first legal framework for conserving and sustainably using marine biodiversity in the two-thirds of the ocean that lie beyond national borders. We now have binding global rules to share fairly the benefits from marine genetic resources; Establish and enforce marine protected areas; Conduct rigorous environmental impact assessments; And provide capacity and technology to those that need it most. In a world of accelerating crises – climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution – the Agreement fills a critical governance gap to secure a resilient and productive ocean for all. I commend the Parties to the Agreement and urge all States to join. Let us now move swiftly to universal and full implementation, and honour the promises of the Agreement for people everywhere. Thank you.

Darfur: People subjected to collective torture - ICC Briefing | United Nations

Deputy Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Nazhat Shameem Khan said, “Darfuris, as we speak, are being subjected to collective torture.” Addressing the Security Council virtually today (19 Jan) Khan reported that the situation in Darfur “has darkened even further.” She said, “The fall of El Fasher to the RSF has been accompanied by an organized, calculated campaign of the most profound suffering, targeting non-Arab communities in particular.” She continued, “Rape, arbitrary detention, executions, mass graves, all perpetrated on a massive scale. Many of these crimes have been filmed and celebrated by those committing them. This dreadful situation is still ongoing.” She highlighted, “War crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed in El Fasher, including in particular in late October as a culmination of the siege of the city by the Rapid Support Forces.” She stressed, “This criminality is being repeated in town after town in Darfur. It will continue until this conflict, and the sense of impunity that fuels it, are stopped.” She said, “If we are to ensure that the conviction of Ali Kushayb sets the basis for further accountability, the expanded and active cooperation of our partners will be essential. The scale of suffering and criminality in Darfur at present can only be addressed if we work together.” She added, “The Government of Sudan must work with us seriously, with focus, to secure the arrest of those individuals subject to ICC arrest warrants presently in Sudan: Omar Hassan Ahmad Al Bashir, Ahmad Harun and Abdel Raheem Muhammad Hussein. I underline again that Mr. Harun in particular must be given priority.”
