@i_gurhan Hongera Sana, Doc.

Well deserved!.

[Shehbaz Sharif @CMShehbaz]

Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland.

We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard.

With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony.

I am dismayed. Active and serious negotiations have yet again been undermined. Neither the interests of the United States nor the cause of global peace are well served by this. And I pray for the innocents who will suffer. I urge the United States not to get sucked in further. This is not your war.

Rejoice! Julian is free. Fighting for what is right against the worst odds is never futile. This is the moment to redouble our efforts to free every political prisoner, everywhere.

[WikiLeaks @wikileaks]

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE

Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.

This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.

After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.

WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.

As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.

Julian's freedom is our freedom.

[More details to follow]

[Stella Assange @Stella_Assange]

Julian is free!!!!

Words cannot express our immense gratitude to YOU- yes YOU, who have all mobilised for years and years to make this come true. THANK YOU. tHANK YOU. THANK YOU.

Follow @WikiLeaks for more info soon…

The International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace highlights a fundamental truth: no country can solve today’s challenges alone.

We need to resurrect a new spirit of global cooperation to rebuild trust, heal divisions, and place humanity on the path to peace.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Grim findings during @WHO visits to Al-Awda and Kamal Adwan hospitals in northern #Gaza: severe levels of malnutrition, children dying of starvation, serious shortages of fuel, food and medical supplies, hospital buildings destroyed.

The visits over the weekend were the first since early October 2023 despite our efforts to gain more regular access to the north of Gaza.

The situation at Al-Awda Hospital is particularly appalling, as one of the buildings is destroyed.

Kamal Adwan Hospital is the only paediatrics hospital in the north of Gaza, and is overwhelmed with patients. The lack of food resulted in the deaths of 10 children. The lack of electricity poses a serious threat to patient care, especially in critical areas like the intensive care unit and the neonatal unit.

We managed to deliver 9,500 litres of fuel to each hospital, and some essential medical supplies. This is a fraction of the urgent lifesaving needs.

We appeal to Israel to ensure humanitarian aid can be delivered safely, and regularly. Civilians, especially children, and health staff need scaled-up help immediately. But the key medicine all these patients need is peace. Ceasefire.

“Countless communities have been decimated; countless families vanished; countless mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, nieces, and nephews – all gone … their dreams extinguished, their potential lost forever and their futures obliterated”

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

“ENOUGH.”

While global attention is waning, the war in Sudan is spreading, forcing millions of people to flee for their lives.

People of Sudan need peace, now.

At least 10 children have reportedly died from dehydration and malnutrition at a northern Gaza hospital in recent days.

'The lives of thousands more babies and children depend on urgent action being taken now,' says @UNICEF official @AdeleKhodr.

Horrific news out of Gaza that at least ten children have reportedly died of malnutrition and dehydration so far, while many more are on the brink.

1 in 6 children under the age of two in north Gaza are acutely malnourished.

[Joe English @JoeEEnglish]

Parents in Gaza are watching the life drain from their children, watching the color drain from their cheeks - slowly, agonizingly - in the knowledge that less than 10km away, there is plentiful food that would save their children’s lives.

Talking to @CaitrionaPerry about #Gaza

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

The death toll in #GazaStrip has now surpassed 30,000 people.

Over 70,000 people have been injured.

This is a man made disaster. People dying from bombs & strikes - even more now dying from consequences of siege imposed on #GazaStrip

Despite repeated calls, still no ceasefire.

[United Nations @UN]

“There appear to be no bounds to – no words to capture – the horrors that are unfolding before our eyes in Gaza.”

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

The death toll in #Gaza has surpassed 30,000 — a large majority women and children.

Over 70,000 Palestinians have been injured.

This horrific violence and suffering must end. Ceasefire.
