[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

While most Western people enjoy summer and the Olympic Games/@jeuxolympiques, the #genocide in Palestine continues unabated. No sign for now of UNSC or other influential member states intervening to stop it. Pure madness.
#WakeUp
End the #GenocideinGaza
#CeasefireNOW

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Gaza: In the largest and most shameful concentration camp of the 21st century, Israel is genociding the Palestinians one neighborhood at the time, one hospital at the time, one school at the time, one refugee camp at the time, one 'safe zone' at the time. With US and European weapons. And amid the indifference of all "civilised nations".

May the Palestinians forgive us for our collective inability to protect them, honoring the most basic meaning of intl law.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I am so moved by the #youth these days. The unity around fundamental values that they are displaying gives me real HOPE that "We The Peoples" can still make this world a better place.

[Jessica Moussan • جيسيكا موسان @JessicaMoussan]

#Gaza: a military operation in the heavily populated area of #Rafah would be devastating for 1.5 million Palestinians

Rules of war are clear: civilians must be safely evacuated & those unable to evacuate are still protected

Our hearts and condolences go out to the @PalestineRCS and the family of the brave volunteer Ameer who tragically lost his life in Gaza. His dedication and courage in helping others will always be remembered.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Why blocking aid to startving people? Because this is what #Apartheid, the organic by-product of settler-colonialism, looks like. Segregation and oppression pushed to the extreme.

“I am sleeping on an empty stomach. I can manage, but the little children can’t handle it. The food we get is not enough, not enough to sustain a small child for a day”.

Majed Abu Jamal, sharing from a camp for displaced people in Rafah #Gaza

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

Because of Israel's obstructions, “people in Gaza risk dying of hunger just miles from trucks filled with food,” says @WFP. This is not a natural consequence of war but a deliberate strategy, despite denials by Israel's lawyers in the ICJ genocide case.

From #Gaza, @ICRC President said what she saw is "beyond anything that anyone should be in a position to describe".

"We can't turn away from what is evidently a moral failure in the face of international community", calling for de-escalation & alternatives to military solutions.

[Jessica Moussan • جيسيكا موسان @JessicaMoussan]

#Gaza mass casualties on a new scale

@RMardiniICRC⁩ says warring parties have obligation to protect civilians. This can come across as a broken record from @ICRC but is important because the onus remains on them; as is ensuring minimum humanitarian aid https://t.co/Gon264QOeh

Our team has 3 main calls to the international community :

❗️Recommit to ambitious action, ⬇️ emissions
❗️Recognize vulnerability of conflict-affected countries to climate risk
❗️Strengthen #climate action w fit-for-purpose finance

Lots of focus on what the @ICRC does recently. And maybe some misunderstanding. So here's my take. https://t.co/NSnxdeG2Ik

[Joe 🍉 @JBattikh]

In this piece by @NickWebster75 in the @TheNationalNews, I emphasize on the compounding impacts of 🌍 #ClimateChange, #environmental 🥀 degradation, and 💥 #conflicts on populations in the #MENA region.

Healthcare workers, ambulances, and hospitals must not be just respected but also protected.

Watch @CDroegeICRC on @AJEnglish explaining why and how 👇

[ICRC in Israel & OT @ICRC_ilot]

The ICRC is urgently calling for the respect and protection of medical facilities, patients, and healthcare workers in #Gaza.

This protection is not only a legal obligation but a moral imperative to preserve human life in these terrible times.

Updates from our war surgery team - European Hospital #Gaza.

Dr. Tom Potokar, ICRC surgeon, shares on horrific injuries facing children, lack of resources, lack of electricity, no dressings to treat burn injuries.

Teams are exhausted & the situation gets worse.
