Western governments have suspended #UNRWA funds due to serious ALLEGATIONS agst 12 staff. Same governments have not suspended ties with the state whose army has killed 26k ppl in Gaza in 3.5m,though ICJ said it may plausibly constitute GENOCIDE. Double standards? Yes, big time.
600,000 children & their families, famished & traumatized, displaced multiple times by 4 months of military assault in the Gaza open-air prison, are now ammassed in Rafah. The risk of a massacre of unparalleled scale looms on the horizon. #CEASEFIRE_NOW unicef.org/press-releases…
The devastating Israeli airstrikes that killed World Central Kitchen personnel yesterday bring the number of aid workers killed in this conflict to 196 – including more than 175 members of our own United Nations staff. This is unconscionable.
