#Gaza: airdrops will not reverse the deepening starvation. They are expensive, inefficient & can even kill starving civilians. It is a distraction & screensmoke. A manmade hunger can only be addressed by political will. Lift the siege, open the gates & guarantee safe movements…
At the G20 Development meeting I stressed the need to fight inequality & illicit financial flows. We need more multilateralism and defence of intl law. Fair taxation & universal social protection are key. This includes a UN tax convention -@AsmundAukrust regjeringen.no/no/aktuelt/rem…

Deeply disturbed by reports that over 40 civilians were killed in an attack on Al Mujlad Hospital in West Kordofan, Sudan. Norway strongly condemns attacks on health facilities. Such violations of international humanitarian law must stop. #NotATarget

I welcome agreement on the final document for the 4th Int'l Conference on Financing for Development! In a time when multilateralism is under pressure, this gives hope. It shows that global cooperation can deliver and that we have a path forward on development finance. #FfD4
