UN SecCouncil mtg on "widespread executions by RSF" in El Fasher, @UNReliefChief says:
"Stop arming this violence & insist that stopping this conflict is more important than any narrow political or commercial interests"
Very revealing deep-dive on Israel's concerted famine denial campaign.
The moment the famine declaration dropped, Israel launched coordinated online advertising targeting Germany, Austria, Italy, Poland, UK, and US.
Repeating the tropes I debunked here: https://t.co/ZKzOQXpZDj
The devastating earthquake that struck Afghanistan late Sunday has left more than 1,000 people dead, many more injured & countless missing beneath the rubble.
This tragedy hit communities that have already endured severe hardship due to the past decades of armed conflict.

"The Gaza famine is the world's famine, says @UNReliefChief in response to the latest IPC analysis declaring famine in the Gaza Governorate. It is a "famine that will and must haunt us all."
In his remarks to reporters in Geneva, Fletcher also calls out Netanyahu directly: "My ask, my plea, my demand, to Prime Minister Netanyahu, and anyone who can reach him - Enough!"

@UNReliefChief And make no mistake, this is entirely man-made. Not the result of some natural calamity, but the result of a deliberate policy of starvation. Enabled by the political support of governments and politicians around the world, in full knowledge of what is happening.
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.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians are trapped in El Fasher without access to food.
People are already dying of starvation.
Attacks continue, humanitarian access is blocked.
Together we call on RSF to immediately lift the siege.
All parties need to facilitate humanitarian access.
Darfur: Shocked by the horror unfolding in ZamZam and Abu Shok camps, and El Fasher in North Darfur.
Over 100 civilians feared dead in just a few days, including 20 children.
9 aid workers killed.
A community kitchen burned with women volunteers inside.
This is not the fog of war. It’s a calculated campaign of destruction against civilians.
Sudan's Foreign Minister is in Russia signing mining deals. Moscow already has mining arrangements on both the SAF and RSF sides. As Washington laments that there are no "good guys" for it to talk to, the bad guys are doing deals with everybody.
The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) launched a violent attack on the Zamzam camp in North Darfur on Tuesday, committing widespread abuses against displaced people and forcing thousands to flee towards the city of El Fasher.

"What we’ve seen before our eyes has been nothing short of horrendous" @MSF General Secretary @Chris_lockyear speaking from Al Nao hospital as it received patients injured in an RSF attack on a market in Omdurman.
Civilian lives must be protected!

Denmark reaffirmed its support for #UNRWA at today’s #UNSC briefing.
The Agency continues to play a vital role for Palestinians, both for the delivery of humanitarian aid and until the realisation of the two-state solution.
I oversaw FEWSNET operations while @USAID. FEWSNET has been the gold standard for famine monitoring and mitigation for 40 years - a technological breakthrough in 1985 crafted by American ingenuity that saved countless lives and demonstrated true exceptionalism.
My take on the fighting in Goma right now––a town of 1.5 million with tens of thousands of displaced people huddled in fear at the moment. https://t.co/gL74tVw03S
