A plea, a reminder, a call for respect. #NotATarget

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

Yesterday morning, a baby girl was reportedly killed in an airstrike in Khan Younis while the day before, seven children were killed in Gaza City and the south. This is during an agreed ceasefire.

These are not statistics. Each was a child with a family, a dream, a life suddenly cut short by continued violence.

Children need a ceasefire that’s sustained and respected, and surge of aid. NOW.

[United Nations @UN]

“Too many leaders today view human rights as the problem.

We know human rights are the solution.

They are the foundation of peace.

They are the engine of progress. And they are the path out of conflict & chaos to security & hope.”

This is the world's famine.
Everyone owns this.
It is a famine that must and will haunt us all.
It is a famine that asks: Well, what did you do?
#Gaza #Palestine

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

The Gaza Famine is the world’s famine. A preventable, predictable famine. 

Enough. Ceasefire. Open all crossings, north and south. Let us get food in, unimpeded and at massive scale.

Joint statement from 22 countries on the illegal decision by Israel to approve the E1 settlement plan on Palestinian land.

This decision is unacceptable, and must be reversed.

Norway urges all States to recognise the State of Palestine. https://t.co/7UivafJlRh

[United Nations @UN]

Dozens of Palestinians were killed while seeking UN aid in Gaza this weekend.

@antonioguterres has condemned the mass shootings and deaths, and reiterated his call for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages & unimpeded humanitarian access.

.@WHO’s staff residence in Deir al Balah, #Gaza, was attacked three times today as well as its main warehouse.

Israeli military entered the premises, forcing women and children to evacuate on foot toward Al-Mawasi amid active conflict. Male staff and family members were handcuffed, stripped, interrogated on the spot and screened at gunpoint.

Two WHO staff and two family members were detained. Three were later released, while one staff remains in detention.

32 WHO staff and family members were evacuated to the WHO office once access became possible.

WHO demands the immediate release of the detained staff and protection of all its staff.

The latest evacuation order in Deir al Balah has affected several WHO premises, compromising our ability to operate in Gaza and pushing the health system further towards collapse.

WHO’s main warehouse located in Deir al Balah is within the evacuation zone, and was damaged yesterday when an attack caused explosions and a fire inside.

With the main warehouse nonfunctional and the majority of medical supplies in Gaza depleted, WHO is severely constrained in adequately supporting hospitals, emergency medical teams and health partners, already critically short on medicines, fuel, and equipment.

WHO urgently calls on Member States to help ensure a sustained and regular flow of medical supplies into Gaza.

As the lead agency for health, compromising WHO’s operations is crippling the entire health response in Gaza.

A ceasefire is not just necessary, it is overdue.

This is a man-made disaster.

Enough is enough. The United Nations must be allowed to deliver aid of all types at scale to families, wherever they are.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

🔴 Hunger is widespread in Gaza and people are dying.

🔴 Deadly malnutrition among children is reaching catastrophic levels.

🔴 Food is dangerously scarce, and clean water is below emergency levels .

🔴 Aid is severely restricted and dangerous to access.

This is a man-made disaster.

Enough is enough. The United Nations must be allowed to deliver aid of all types at scale to families, wherever they are.

"Ma perché questi continuano ad UCCIDERE I BAMBINI????
É insopportabile al animo umano.
Ma non sentono UN GRIDO DI DOLORE, che si leva da ogni parte del mondo??? Ma non lo sentono??"

[PalPulse @PulseofPal]

Italian Oscar winner Roberto Benigni has expressed profound outrage over the ongoing massacres in Gaza, particularly concerning the deaths of children. He drew a poignant comparison, stating that even in children's play-wars, the game stops if someone gets a scratch. "But why do these people continue to kill children?" he questioned, asserting, "They should stop as soon as a child gets scratched—but what cowardice is this? They must stop."

[Ramy Abdu| رامي عبده @RamAbdu]

The crime of starvation is unfolding before the eyes of the world.
People choose to die by bullets outside the Israeli-American hunger engineering centers rather than from starvation.

So far, no fewer than 1,000 starving Palestinians have been killed outside these centers.

[Josep Borrell Fontelles @JosepBorrellF]

30 years ago we did not prevent the Srebrenica genocide. Today we bow to the victims. The best way to honour his memory is to stop the other genocide that is now being committed in Gaza.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Just to be sure, on this day more than ever: I stand firmly and convincingly on the side of justice, as I have always done. I come from a country with a tradition of illustrious legal scholars, talented lawyers and corageous judges who have defended justice at great cost and often with their own life. I intend to honor that tradition.
Also: it is called the Rome Statute for a reason, and I am proud of it.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

This is not business as usual.
My new UN report, From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide, is out today.
It shows how corporations have fueled and legitimised the destruction of Palestine.
Genocide, it would seem, is profitable. This cannot continue, accountability must follow.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I call it genocide because IT IS genocide.
Defined by intent, not by method or means.
Visible without magnification—if we look with context, at the victims: what they share is being part of a group, as such. Because of it, they get killed, tortured, maimed, starved, raped, massacred. In dozens or hundreds daily.
Genocide is a process, not a single act.
A collective act. A criminal venture.
To end it, we must first be willing to see it.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

The only sustainable alternative to colonialism and its models of domination—old or new—, is Humanity. Affirming the value of every person, and every people, beyond the confines of racialized identity politics and control. In Palestine/Israel, in the US, Europe and everywhere.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Listen to a top UN official describe the horrific humanitarian disaster in Gaza right now:

"I can tell you from having visited...death on this scale has a sound and a smell that does not leave you."

History will never forget that we enabled this atrocity.

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.

Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

You matter.

Unless you multiply yourself by the speed of light squared.

Then you Energy.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

🚨 ALERT: What the new US Administration is doing is very clear and strategic: it is called psychological overwhelming. Hitting us every day with XXL doses of baffling rhetoric and erratic policies serves to "control the script", distracting and dishorienting us, normalising the absurd, all while disrupting global stability (and consolidating US control).
