Dying because of starvation is harsh reality for people in #Gaza. Famine is the new phase of hell Gaza faces in this man-made catastrophe. This has to stop. We need an immediate ceasefire, release of all hostages and full, unimpeded humanitarian access.

The official declaration of famine in Gaza is a humanitarian catastrophe. No one should face starvation in the 21st century. I call for an immediate, unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid and a united international effort to end this suffering. Humanity must come first. #Gaza

The signs were there all along. Famine is now confirmed in Gaza—the first ever in the Middle East. This man-made catastrophe is a brutal assault on civilians and a grave breach of international law. We need a ceasefire and immediate, large-scale aid.

Congratulations to all Ukrainians on your Independence Day! Your courage and hope for peace inspire all of us. We stand with you side by side. Our future is together in the European Union. Slava Ukraini!

As Ukrainian people celebrate #IndependenceDay, #Slovenia continues to stand with them in their fight for freedom. Together we work towards a just & lasting peace, stability & prosperity of 🇺🇦. Only #Ukraine can decide about its future. #StandWithUkraine
