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.

Targeting humanitarian aid convoys is a flagrant IHL violation, which undermines desperate relief efforts/ exacerbates human suffering, contrary to what ICJ ordered 12d ago. At a time where the risk of genocide is so flagrant, urgent measures must be taken.Agst Israel,not the UN

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 deliberate murder of Hind, her family and the medical team who arrived for her rescue — along with the tens of thousands of innocent people Israel has killed — is an offence to our humanity. It is a curse not only on her killers, but on everyone who has stayed silent or

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.

I am at Charles De Gaule airport. They are preventing me from entering France. I am supposed to speak at the French Senate today. They say the Germans put a 1 year ban on my entry to Europe.

global and social justice is not just about vast wealth inequality. stop thinking narrowly about inequality as being just about money. some people can do whatever they want while others are arbitrarily blown to bits. it’s inequality in freedoms.

Reading the health experts, I am starting to think with horror that if it's not stopped, Israel's assault could end up exterminating almost the entire population in Gaza over the next couple of years. The range of presumable direct and indirect deaths could be between 15 and

This wasn’t a “targeted assassination.” It was a full-blown massacre, an intentional slaughter of civilians in a packed neighbourhood. An entire building wiped off the map. Keep dropping your bombs. Keep sourcing their bombs. This horror will never be forgotten, and we will never

Operating today in one of the governmental hospitals in Beirut. The wounded patients have lost multiple family members and some of the staff have lost multiple family members. As is the case in Gaza, for Israel, peoples' homes is the battlefield

Again and again: Lebanon (and Palestine) does not need now a humanitarian conference, or a donors conference, or a fundraising effort. It just needs a ceasefire and a stop to the Zionist killing machine.

Actual intentions aside, Netanyahu promised his people he'd return their prisoners home ... And failed. He promised his settlers in northern occupied Palestine a safe return to their settlements ... And failed. Since the war on Lebanon, a growing number of settlers are fleeing

The panic now- if only you could see the fear, the panic, the traffic, the ambulances, the planes, the flares, the strikes, the sounds, the smells, the drones… Beirut.
