Our interview with Chris Sidoti, the member of the UN's Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory detailing how Israel kills Children
This report is haunting even for someone who has documented the most horrific aspects of this genocide - which too many world leaders pretend not to see.
I commend the Commission of Inquiry for its effort to bring about accountability and make the truth accessible.
Palestinian doctor Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, has been held in Israel for more than 500 days. No formal charges have been filed against him and no trial has been held.

#Israel’s suspension of multiple aid agencies from #Gaza is outrageous. The pattern of unlawful restrictions on humanitarian access & these arbitrary suspensions make an already intolerable situation worse for the people of Gaza.
States must take urgent steps & insist that Israel allows aid to get into Gaza unhindered.

It breaks my heart to see the ongoing scale of human suffering in Gaza.
While famine has been pushed back, needs are growing faster than aid can get in.
We need more crossings, lifting of restrictions on critical items, removal of red tape, safe routes inside Gaza, sustained funding & unimpeded access.
I strongly condemn the unauthorized entry into the @UN Sheikh Jarrah compound held by @UNRWA in occupied East Jerusalem by Israeli authorities.
This compound is inviolable & immune from any other form of interference.
I urge Israel to immediately take all necessary steps to restore, preserve & uphold the inviolability of UNRWA premises & to refrain from taking any further action with regard to these premises.
More than a month after a ceasefire was announced and all living Israeli hostages were released, Israeli authorities are still committing genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip, by continuing to deliberately inflict conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction, without signaling any change in their intent. https://t.co/BHs2gm2wiZ
On this International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People we reaffirm a simple truth:
The Palestinian people have a right to dignity, justice & self-determination.
Yet over the last 2 years, these rights have been violated beyond comprehension.
I repeat my call for an end to the unlawful occupation of the Palestinian Territory. I also reiterate my call for irreversible progress towards a two-State solution, with Israel & Palestine living side by side in peace & security.

Our teams in Gaza continue to treat people who were critically wounded by Israeli airstrikes and quadcopters on 19 November.
We continue to call for the protection of all civilians, healthcare staff and facilities.

The @UN will not give up on the 1.5 degrees goal.
The challenge is immense, but the choices are clear.
We need to move faster – and move together.
Let's ignite a decade of #ClimateAction acceleration & delivery.

"Children are not spared. Elderly people are not spared. Women are not spared.”
The crisis in #Sudan is catastrophic.

#Sudan: On Oct. 28, 100 per cent of the children screened at our health post in #Tawila, were severely or moderately malnourished.
MSF Pediatrician Giulia Chiopris is in Tawila, where our teams are receiving people fleeing El Fasher and treating severe malnutrition.
In the West Bank of Palestine, people, including our colleagues, must contend with movement restrictions to go about their daily lives.
With so many checkpoints and gates, “life became a prison”:

On 29 October, our teams across the Gaza Strip treated severely wounded patients from attacks by Israeli forces, which caused alarming civilian casualties. We have seen injured patients in Al-Aqsa, Nasser, and Al-Shifa hospitals.
Dr Morten Rostrup, a doctor at Al-Aqsa hospital, said: “When I got to the emergency room, it was a desperate situation. There is no doubt this is an attack on civilians, with so many children being injured and killed. Do we really call this a ceasefire?”
In Nasser hospital, our, and the Ministry of Health’s, teams received 22 dead and 60 injured, including children. Al-Aqsa hospital treated 77 injured, some of whom were referred to our field hospital. Lastly, at Al-Shifa, Ministry of Health teams received 27 dead and 56 injured.
Since the ceasefire began, Israeli forces have killed 211 people, according to the Ministry of Health. In the past 24 hours alone, they report that Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip have killed at least 104 people — including 46 children and 20 women — and injured 253 others, among them 78 children.
We have repeatedly called for a sustained ceasefire to stop the overwhelming level of death and catastrophic injuries suffered by civilians. So far, we are witnessing the consequences of repeated violations of this ceasefire, which perpetuate the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
