European Humanitarian Forum 2025. We all know that political action is what will save Gaza, not the humanitarian system. Women and children are starving and dying in Gaza as we sit in this room. A sense of urgency and feeling of failure is part of the atmosphere. #EHF2025
Ten years ago today, my life and the lives of hundreds of thousands of Yazidis were upended and shattered. Coming together with other survivors a decade later to commemorate the 10th anniversary in Sinjar sends a powerful message to those who sought to eradicate us from our homeland and silence us through a campaign of genocide and sexual violence: you have failed. Survivors are more resilient than ever and have exposed the evil ideology of ISIS.
Takk for tilliten @noradno! CARE Norge er godkjent for «plusspartner». Det skal føre til mindre byråkrati, og for oss, mer likestilling for kvinner og mindre fattigdom i land i sør.
Horrifying :@EuroMedHR documented the execution of Palestinian citizen Ramzi Abu Sahlool, 51, in the Mawasi area two days ago. @itvnews photographer captured the incident after citizens were displaced from the area declared earlier safe by the Israeli army. Carrying a white flag, the citizen tried to evacuate his family but was executed by the Israeli army.
It is open to debate whether Israel's massacre of ten of thousand innocent Gaza civilians constitutes genocide, at least yet. But as these clips from Netanyahu's civil and military leadership show, there can be little doubt of genocidal intent. Here, collected on this link, are clear and unembarrased calls for slaughter, erasure, nuclear holocaust and the levelling of Gaza, all on record, all on camera, from their own mouths. Its utterly, and completely, horrifying.
Palestinian doctors in Gaza in a message to Israeli doctors:
“We as doctors are ambassadors of peace. We save lives. Israeli doctors who signed a letter promoting bombing of hospitals with patients inside have committed a betrayal to their noble profession & bear responsibility”
We are deeply concerned about the situation in Gaza. We have lost contact with some of our Palestinian colleagues on the ground. We are particularly worried for the patients, medical staff and thousands of families taking shelter at Al Shifa hospital and other health facilities.

#Jordskjelvet: Det er en hardt prøvet befolkning i #Syria. Mange unge mennesker har mistet håpet, sier vår landdirektør Benedicte Hafskjold til @tv2nyheter klokka 09.04. Kirkens Nødhjelp er i Syria med vann og reparere hjem, skoler, vannsystemer og klinikker.
Jeg fikk møte Martin Griffit i dag sammen med andre NGOer. Han var også opptatt av at funding må i større grad gjøres tilgjengelig til nasjonale og int NGOer som er på plass på bakken.
FNs Nødhjelpskoordinator @UNReliefChief Martin Griffiths møtte med nødhjelpsaktører og @KirkensNodhjelp i Damaskus i dag. Hans budskap var at det trengs 13-14 mrd USD til gjenoppbygging etter jordskjelvet og at vi må holde oppe oppmerksomhet om #Syria sine humanitære behov.
De politiske partiene er i innspurt om å enes på Stortinget om nivå på norsk bistand i 2023 og hjelp til Ukraina og andre land rammet av krigens ringvirkninger. 1% av BNI må bli en minimumsstandard for et land som har inntekter i 1000-milliardklassen fra økte energipriser.
– Nå håper vi at de politiske partiene på Stortinget vil samle seg om en felles innsats og forsikre oss om målet på 1 prosent av BNI til bistand og nødhjelp, sier @hoybraten

#polkvart: @ChristianTG_FRP sier at bistand virker ikke. Akutt redning er i gang. Ødeleggelsene i Syria i områder med svak myndighet. Nødhjelp bygger på beredskap og bedre gjenoppbygging. Bistand løser ikke alt. Vi kan bidra m 1% av BNI #statsbudsjett2023 til norsk bistand
