This guy has to say "Gaza wanted" and "Gaza got", as if Gaza is a person, because otherwise his statement would sound as genocidal and cruel as it actually is (i.e. "1 million children wanted war. 1 million children got war").

Attacks on schools and hospitals have been commonplace. The world must not become numb. All wars have rules All of those rules have been broken. A ceasefire is long overdue A respite for civilians wherever they are including across Gaza & the immediate release of hostages.

""She was like wood," he said They rushed baby Sila to the hospital but her lungs were found to have already deteriorated Two other babies - three days old & a month old - had been brought to the hospital over the past 48 hours after dying of hypothermia" Humanity has failed.

Netanyahu made the same choice, while traumatised Palestinian Christians cower in the apocalyptic ruins of Gaza. But in this case, instead of fiery denunciations, you’re giving them the weapons and support to strike innocent civilians in Gaza.

Since the war started in #Gaza, nearly 730,000 people, among them over half a million children, received mental health and psychosocial support services from UNRWA. #UNRWAworks

As the Biden administration prepares to leave office, with the stain of Gaza on its record, its ambassador in Israel denies the humanitarian situation is as bad as everyone says it is in Northern Gaza by confirming that… Israel, with US aid, ethnically cleansed Northern Gaza!

For over a year, the world has been bearing witness to unfathomable levels of death and destruction in the occupied Gaza Strip. Act now and call on Israel to immediately stop committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza ⬇️ amn.st/6015Q036L

International humanitarian law is clear: Babies are #NotATarget. Children are #NotATarget. Civilians are #NotATarget. Hospitals are #NotATarget. Health care workers are #NotATarget. Schools are #NotATarget. Humanitarians are #NotATarget.

Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza. We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled. This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.

Imagine a state hostile to the West was doing this. Western politicians and media outlets would denounce this alone as one of the most evil acts imaginable. But this is a Western ally, so they don’t. The world can see that, and the world is not going to forget it.

The war in #Gaza has continued for over 14 months. "It's not okay that this inaction continues. It needs to stop. There has to be a ceasefire. It's the only hope now" tells @‌UNWateridge to @‌MSNBC. #CeasefireNow

I join this urgent plea. Palestinians must be protected, especially those who have become icons of humanity in the face of an implacable genocide.

1/5 We are extremely concerned over the fate & wellbeing of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan hospital who was detained by Israeli forces along with others during a raid on the hospital on 27 December. He must be released immediately and unconditionally.

Sorry to be that person, but when we've witnessed a genocide live on our screens, when we've seen decapitated babies, Palestinians burning alive, babies freezing to death, mass extermination, torture & ethnic cleansing, reading about other 2024 reflections just seem so trivial.

As 2024 ends, we honour the memory of all humanitarians killed this year. Among them, we grieve the UNRWA colleagues killed in #Gaza. We have now lost 258 team members since the war began. #NotATarget #CeasefireNow

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

“I reiterate my call for independent investigations into the systematic disregard for the protection of humanitarian workers, premises and operations. This cannot become the new standard and impunity cannot become the new norm.” - Philippe Lazzarini

May 2025 lead us to see the end of the Israeli Apartheid in Palestine. Everyone has a role to play in that, as workers, bureaucrats, consumers, voters, citizens. No one should rest until this monstruosity becomes the past.

The Israeli Authorities continue to ban international media from #Gaza. Throughout 2024, UNRWA continued to provide information and firsthand accounts on the humanitarian impact the war on civilians. Access to international journalists to report freely from Gaza must be granted.
