“In MSF’s nearly 54 years of operations, rarely have we seen such levels of systematic violence against unarmed civilians.”

The GHF-run food distributions in Gaza, Palestine, have become sites of ��orchestrated killing and dehumanisation”, not humanitarian aid.

@_Amra_Lee, PhD Scholar in our Dept. of IR, explains why airdrops are dangerous, inefficient & a distraction from what is needed to prevent mass starvation in Gaza.

States must exercise their full diplomatic leverage to pressure Israel to let aid in at the scale required to avert famine. @_Amra_Lee @OurANU https://t.co/GbEISvpvFk

[The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand @ConversationEDU]

Pressure is mounting on Israel to lift all restrictions on food and other emergency supplies, with more than 870 Palestinians having been killed while seeking aid. @_Amra_Lee @OurANU https://t.co/pcsYgpnrDb

What the strong resistance to the new model reveals: a lack of good faith on Israel's part to adhere to its obligations under international law. @_Amra_Lee @OurANU https://t.co/t2tMHLhgJU

"With global conflict escalating & civilian protections eroding," writes #AP4D's @grantwyeth & @ANUBellSchool's @_Amra_Lee, "🇦🇺 has a strategic opportunity to assert leadership in upholding international humanitarian law."

1/6 First responders should never be a target. Yet today @UNOCHA supported @PalestineRCS and Civil Defense to retrieve colleagues from a mass grave in #Rafah #Gaza that was marked with the emergency light from one of their crushed ambulances.

[Governor Mikie Sherrill @GovSherrillNJ]

Additionally, Trump and Hegseth fired the top Judge Advocates General, who are the military’s top lawyers. These are the individuals who interpret law for our commanders, and ensure that we’re fighting in accordance with our values. (5/9)

At its essence, the exercise of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people is about the right of Palestinians to simply live as human beings in their own land

[LSE Sociology @LSEsociology]

In the latest @LSEHumanRights blog Amra Lee, Dr Felicity Gray, and Professor Bina D’Costa urge the world to confront a collective failure to protect the most vulnerable and demand accountability.

If you lived in Syria, you would know this is such an incredible moment. Try to think of Syrians as human beings, instead of geopolitics, just for a second. Imagine how people are feeling as their disappeared loved ones are being found in prisons, alive.

Please listen to and read Syrian voices as stunning developments unfold in Aleppo.

Strong opening to Advancing Afghan Womens’ Rights Conference @ANUBellSchool today from Aryana Mohmood and @WahidWaissi

[Kim Ghattas @KimGhattas]

These may be the musings of one person, but they should be taken as a serious warning...As we saw in Gaza, warnings about designs to resettle were dismissed last year but now appear increasingly the plan, if not to settle, at least to maintain military control, see next tweet.

[Fortify Rights @FortifyRights]

NEW: @FortifyRights's investigation found Border Guard Bangladesh officers forcibly returned more than 400 Rohingya refugees to Myanmar since August 2024.

The Interim Government of Bangladesh should immediately stop the forced return of refugees. https://t.co/n5qas14H1h

We met Bilal Raad 2 weeks before he was killed along with 14 of his colleagues in an Israeli attack on a civil defense center.
He had said it was their "safe space."

"You never know, maybe they'll hit it, Israel doesn't discriminate between its targets.”

@KimGhattas cutting through the naive and dangerous ‘expert’ commentary on what more war means for the region and durable peace:

“If history is any guide to the Middle East, the player with the greatest chance of success is called chaos.”

[Kim Ghattas @KimGhattas]

My latest in @TheAtlantic
Whoever wins the White House on November 5 should remember Netanyahu's history and advocacy for the war in Iraq when tries to sell his latest vision for remaking the Middle East.
