#Gaza : Palestinian lives have been so devalued. It is now the routine to shoot & kill desperate & starving people while they try to collect little food from a company made of mercenaries. Hundreds of people have been reported killed since the “Gaza Humiliation Foundation”

“It’s the most abrupt upheaval of humanitarian work in the U.N. in my 40 years as a humanitarian worker, by far. And it will make the gap between exploding needs and contributions to aid work even bigger.” abcnews.go.com/International/…

EU’s Kaja Kallas says there’s been “some good signs” in aid access to Gaza. But for NRC and many others, no relief has entered for 142 days. Not one truck. Not one delivery. For the few actors allowed to bring in limited supplies, the UN reports that from 19 May to 14 July, an

Israel has ordered mass relocations from displacement camps in Deir al-Balah — forcing families who already lost everything to move yet again. 93% of Gaza is now off-limits. This is like relocating the entire UK population to Wales. Overcrowded, aid-dependent communities are

Let’s be clear: Statehood for the Palestinians is a right, not a reward. The only realistic, just, and sustainable solution is two States – Israel & Palestine – living side-by-side in peace. I urge the international community to take urgent & concrete steps to make it real.

The absolute incapacity of Western leaders to enforce intl law when it comes to Israel is EPIC. Ministers, Prime Ministers, Presidents of Republic: Doing NOTHING, diverting attention, sanctioning individual ministers IS NOT enforcing the intl law that was developed after the

"In #Gaza, women and girls are facing the impossible choice of starving to death at their shelters or venturing out in search of food and water, at the extreme risk of being killed. Their children are starving to death before their eyes." - UN Women

The biggest problem in the world isn’t climate change, future pandemics, or democratic collapse. It’s that far too many of our most brilliant minds are working on *everything but* those problems. 🧵

Beyond hunger, Israel is also using thirst as a weapon in Gaza. UN experts condemn Israel for "using thirst as a weapon to kill Palestinians." "Cutting off water and food is a silent but lethal bomb that kills mostly children and babies," they said. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

The children killed in Gaza had names, and favourite subjects in school. They wanted to be teachers, doctors and astronauts when they grew up - the same as children in the UK and across the world. They were, and still are, someone's everything: their entire universe. Children

Across much of Syria, the destruction stretches as far as the eye can see. This week I've met with families who have returned from displacement camps to find nothing left of their homes: no walls or doors, no electricity, no clean water, and no job to be able to pay for

There is an historic opportunity to help solve one of the biggest humanitarian emergencies of our generation. Those I have met this week in Syria are full of hope and ideas for the future, but they are getting hardly any assistance to rebuild lives, homes, livelihoods. The
