[Denmark MFA 🇩🇰 @DanishMFA]

FM @larsloekke: “DK has decided to disburse all planned funding to UNRWA early this year - over €14m. UNRWA is an indispensable lifeline for Palestinians in Gaza & the region. Continued support is essential especially with UNRWA under intense pressure. Urge more to follow.”

[Denmark MFA 🇩🇰 @DanishMFA]

FM @Larsloekke: “Israel’s demolition of a UN compound, held by UNRWA, in East Jerusalem yesterday is completely unacceptable and a violation of the UN’s privileges and immunities under UN Charter and international law.”

[EU and Palestinians @EUpalestinians]

1/3 The ongoing forcible transfer of Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territory is unacceptable. On 9 Jan, escalating settler violence forced 26 families, including 59 children, to flee Ras ‘Ein al-Auja in the Jordan Valley. Around 60 more families are preparing to leave.

[Denmark MFA 🇩🇰 @DanishMFA]

FM @larsloekke: ”Together with my colleagues from UK and eight other countries, I urge Israel to allow international NGOs to operate in Gaza and to remove other humanitarian access constraints. Vital to scale up the humanitarian response.” https://t.co/7m2sIbFAYR

[Denmark MFA 🇩🇰 @DanishMFA]

Deeply worrying developments at UNRWA HQ in East Jerusalem yesterday, setting a dangerous precedent. UN premises are inviolable. Urge Israel to restore, preserve and uphold the inviolability of UNRWA premises in line with UN Charter and international law.

[Sigurd Halling @DKRepPAL]

Thank you @lutheranworld and Bishop Stubkjær for co-hosting today’s lunch at Augusta Victoria Hospital, maintaining international focus on the need to restore medical corridor from Gaza to hospitals in West Bank, incl. East Jerusalem. Hospitals have capacity - we just need access

[Denmark MFA 🇩🇰 @DanishMFA]

FM @larsloekke: "Together with multiple countries, Denmark calls on Israel to allow journalists to both leave and enter the Gaza Strip. Independent media needs to be protected and free to report to the world what is going on in Gaza." https://t.co/mj9dxa0rie

[Denmark MFA 🇩🇰 @DanishMFA]

FM @larsloekke: ”Broad coalition now behind Danish proposal to treat patients from Gaza at hospitals in the West Bank, incl. East Jerusalem. Important that the international community puts pressure on Israel to give the required permissions.” https://t.co/83HJJJRgo7

[State of Palestine @Palestine_UN]

“We collectively and resolutely present this resolution. Famines have been confirmed in Gaza. Not projected. Confirmed. When a war is livestreamed around the world, daily and in graphic details, we have the decency to act. The principles of humanity guide us.”
