#ProtectionofCiviliansWeek:
Proud to host today's side-event on the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention #APMBC together with @ICRC.

162 states signed the APMBC. Recent withdrawals represent an unprecedented setback & a risk of renewed APM use & a weakening of humanitarian norms.

[Espen Barth Eide @EspenBarthEide]

30 years have passed since the Srebrenica genocide. More than 8000 Bosnian men & boys were massacred in the worst atrocity on European soil since #WW2.

Today, we honor victims and survivors. Norway remains committed to prevent genocide & fight impunity. #NeverAgain #Srebrenica30

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

We are responding to some of the worst humanitarian crises of the modern era, against the odds, but a room full of people with strength of conviction, ideas and motivation should give us hope.

Inspiring event co-hosted by @UNOCHA @NorwayMFA @NRC_Norway.

Ten years of the #SafeSchoolsDeclaration! 🛡️📚 It's a milestone of real success, but attacks on schools persist. We need to do more to ensure every child can learn and every teacher can teach in safety. #ProtectEducation

[Norway MFA @NorwayMFA]

Today marks ten years since the Safe Schools Declaration was launched in Oslo, and 121 countries have endorsed it. But in many conflicts attacks on schools continue. In Gaza, nearly 600 schools have been destroyed. We must protect children's right to education – even in war.

This week:

🔴6 @UNRWA staff were killed in a strike on a school in Gaza

🔴3 @ICRC staff were killed in Donetsk, when their aid truck was shelled

Aid workers cannot be targets, and what is true in Ukraine must also be true in Gaza.

[Joyce Msuya @JoyceMsuya]

I am outraged that aid workers continue to be killed, and so soon after #WorldHumanitarianDay.

In #Gaza yesterday, a strike killed 6 @UNRWA staff.

In #Ukraine today, shelling killed 3 @ICRC staff.

Like all civilians, aid workers must be protected.
They are #NotATarget.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

What's happening in Gaza is totally unacceptable.

A school turned shelter for around 12,000 people was hit by Israeli airstrikes again today.

Six of our @UNRWA colleagues are among those killed.

These dramatic violations of international humanitarian law need to stop now.

[Filippo Grandi @FilippoGrandi]

Terrible news of six @unrwa staff killed in Gaza and three @ICRC workers in Ukraine. We at UNHCR stand in total solidarity with their loved ones. These are not “accidents” but proof of deliberate disregard for the lives of civilians and aid workers by parties to these conflicts.

[Michel Anglade @michelanglade]

In his statement to mark the International Day to #ProtectEducationFromAttack, @antonioguterres urges "all countries to fully endorse and implement the Safe Schools Declaration and to support the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack"

Gaza. Sudan. Ukraine. We have seen a rise in violent conflict, with blatant disregard for suffering and loss of innocent lives. Protection from violence is central to any humanitarian response, says NRC Director of Partnership and Policy Camilla Waszink. #EHF2024

[INEW @explosiveweapon]

1/7 📢 24 February, 2024 marks 2 years of military invasion into #Ukraine.

The widespread use of #EWIPA and ensuing suffering and destruction has resulted in one of the biggest humanitarian emergencies in Europe, which will continue to impact civilians for years to come.
