Twenty-two months of calibrated deprivation. Only a massive, UN-led humanitarian response enabled by an end to fighting can stem this spiralling horror @CrisisGroup https://t.co/wOAItMQAuj

Israel is starving Gaza. This catastrophe was not only predictable; it was predicted. Israel’s shift to militarised aid distribution created a system designed for failure. https://t.co/8quvIMVSFi

[World Food Programme @WFP]

The wave of starvation in #Gaza can only be stopped with a massive scale up of assistance.

🔴 At least 100 trucks a day
🔴 with essential food, nutrition and lifesaving aid
🔴 to everyone, across the entire Strip.

There's not a moment to lose.

If Israel’s Operation Gideon’s Chariots plan to ramp up the military offensive in Gaza moves forward as proposed, it’s almost certain to unleash even deeper catastrophe for Gaza’s population. Trump’s Gulf visit is an opportunity to alter this trajectory.

The Arakan Army has taken control of much of Rakhine state, if not all of it, for the foreseeable future in Myanmar. We examine why it will be difficult for the military to dislodge the armed group at this point. https://t.co/FnGu4mFVgq

A new report on Haiti's politics and violence by @CrisisGroup warns that elections cannot be held safely under current circumstances. Pressing ahead with them might fuel further violence by gangs attempting to push their cronies into power. @guardian https://t.co/dlTPr7ct6t

Closing the U.S. Agency for International Development 'is dramatic and consequential' for health care and education in sub-Saharan Africa. Broader economic shocks are likely in some of the world’s most fragile countries too. @mutigam @CrisisGroup https://t.co/6JMq6AnJlj
