Harrowing visit to Kandahar’s main hospital.

Cutting funding for those in greatest need is not something to boast about. For millions, it is a death sentence.

Wherever children are accepted, loved, cared for, and protected, family and society are healthier, and the world is more human. #WorldChildrensDay

Breaking news: The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant 'for crimes against humanity and war crimes' https://t.co/XzsKNeRlkI

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I hope #PopeFrancis will have the time to read the two Genocide reports I have written this year, the recent report by the UN Committee on Israeli Practices, which also covers charges of genocide, and the report by the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food denouncing starvation/destruction of food sovereignty as a genocidal practice.

Three UN reports investigating Israel's genocidal practices in one year.

Depression and anxiety in children and young people are often overlooked or misunderstood.

If you’re a parent, a caregiver, or a teacher, familiarize yourself with the symptoms & signs and know what to look out for. https://t.co/Gz611ZtsyL

Today, I joined @amanpour's program, speaking with @paulanewtonCNN about three years of Taliban's draconian rule in Afghanistan and the recent formalizing of their harsh Vice and Virtue policies that criminalize the face and voice of women. I emphasized why this dehumanizing situation demands the recognition of #GenderApartheid.

New Song by Women Protesting Against the Taliban

This song powerfully reflects the current reality of women in Afghanistan. We will not stop fighting until we achieve freedom and justice. These values are universal, not just for Afghanistan, join us in this cause.

Just spoke with NRC colleagues in Rafah:
the IDF assault is intensifying with continuous, massive explosions. There is no fuel, transportation, nor safe evacuation areas for most of the remaining 1,2 million civilians. Israel and Hamas must end these horrors with a ceasefire deal

#Mattarella: Uno Stato - per quanto potente, per quanto dotato di un minaccioso arsenale nucleare – non può pensare di violare, senza sanzioni, principi come quelli della sovranità, dell’integrità territoriale e dell’indipendenza di un altro Paese
