UN Names Turkish Diplomat Gulluoglu to Two Top Humanitarian Posts
(MENAFN) The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) announced Monday that it has appointed Turkish diplomat Mehmet Gulluoglu to two senior roles.
Tom Fletcher, the UN under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator, named Gulluoglu director of OCHA's Humanitarian Sector Division and head of OCHA Geneva, the agency said.
Gulluoglu "brings more than two decades of experience in humanitarian action, disaster management and public health,” OCHA said in a statement.
The 44-year-old previously led Türkiye's Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) and served as director general of the Turkish Red Crescent. Most recently, he was Türkiye's humanitarian aid coordinator for Palestine, responsible for the effective delivery and coordination of the country's assistance to Gaza. From 2021 to 2025, he was Türkiye's ambassador to Tanzania.
A graduate of Marmara University's Faculty of Medicine, Gulluoglu trained in family medicine, humanitarian aid and EU projects. He has also worked as a volunteer doctor with NGOs in crisis zones including Palestine, Syria, Somalia, Kenya and Jordan.
OCHA coordinates the global humanitarian response to emergencies and works to ensure that effective assistance reaches people affected by crises.
