“The level of destruction is unprecedented. The human tragedy unfolding under our watch is unbearable.” – UNRWA Commissioner-General says an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Middle East is a matter of life and death for millions of people. unrwa.org/newsroom/offic…

Our NRC aid workers are chased across Gaza by an Israeli military destroying one neighborhood after the other. Now even from Khan Yunis where they are order to flee to non-existent “known shelters”. Anyone home in Washington, London, Brussels and Berlin?

.@Potus. Young voters want: No more hypocrisy. The killing to stop, not just pause. The USA to treat every life like it matters equally. Without a ceasefire, how can you promise any of this? Biden’s resistance to cease-fire could alienate youth voters in 2024

In my 35 years of work in complex emergencies, I never have expected to write such a letter, predicting the killing of my staff & the collapse of the mandate I am expected to fulfill #Gaza

Khaled was my colleague for 14 years, he became my friend & mentor. I worked under his leadership & supervision in NY and Amman. He was an excellent human being, lead w/empathy, wisdom, & a vision. I’ve been blessed to know him, he’s from Gaza and represents the best of humanity.

One year ago, we launched the #NextGenYouth platform with a clear mission: to empower youth across the Arab region to connect, learn & grow. Built by youth, for youth, this grassroots platform is a space for collaboration, resilience, and opportunity. go.undp.org/3UA
