Zahira apologized - she could not offer me tea as her house had been destroyed earlier this month. I apologized to her that the world failed her. #Gaza

🇺🇸 Že je niekto mŕtvy nezakladá právo aby nebol kritizovan*. Že niekto bol zabitý kvôli svojim názorom, nijako nepodporuje správnosť týchto názorov.

🔴 Odmietanie a odsudzovanie násilia sa nijako nevylučuje s odmietaním a odsudzovaním názorov aké zastával a šíril Charlie Kirk.

#Intersex people, born with physical sex characteristics that do not fit typical definitions of male or female bodies, often face harmful medically unnecessary interventions without consent, as well as discrimination, stigma, and even violence around the world.

At #HRC60, @NadaNashif presents the @UNHumanRights report offering practical recommendations, including promising practices to end violence & harmful practices against #intersex children and adults, to investigate the violations they face, & to ensure accountability for victims.

50,000 people in Gaza are dead. 114,000 wounded. Two-thirds of the casualties are women, children, or elderly people. The entire infrastructure has been destroyed.

Much of that devastation has been done with U.S. bombs supplied to Netanyahu's war machine. We are complicit.

"It is time to end the dehumanization, protect civilians, release the hostages, ensure lifesaving aid & renew the ceasefire."

@antonioguterres says current situation in Gaza is totally intolerable in the eyes of international law and history.

As the occupying power, Israel has unequivocal obligations under international law – including international humanitarian law and international human rights law.

Yet currently no humanitarian supplies can enter Gaza.

Meanwhile, at the crossing points, food, medicine and shelter supplies are piling up, and vital equipment is stuck.

Unimpeded humanitarian access must be guaranteed.

And humanitarian personnel must be given the protection that they are accorded under international law.

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

In northern #Gaza, children are not looking for their toys or pencils, but for water.
They are not going to school, but pushing carts to help fetch something to soothe their thirst.

It is over five weeks since the Israeli-imposed siege suspended the entry of aid and commercial supplies into Gaza. Safe water, food, shelter, and medical care have become increasingly scarce.

The impact on children is devastating. #CeasefireNow

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

“This morning, Israeli officials from the Jerusalem Municipality, accompanied by Israeli Security Forces, forcibly entered six UNRWA schools in East Jerusalem.

They gave closure orders for the schools effective in 30 days.

UNRWA schools in occupied East Jerusalem are installations providing #education to Palestine Refugee children.

Some 800 boys and girls are directly impacted by these closure orders and are likely to miss finishing their school year.

UNRWA schools are protected by the privileges and immunities of the United Nations. Today’s unauthorised entries and issuance of closure orders are a violation of these protections and represent a revocation of Israel’s obligations under international law.

These illegal closure orders come in the wake of Israeli Knesset legislation seeking to curtail UNRWA operations.

UNRWA is committed to stay and deliver education and other basic services to #PalestineRefugees in the #WestBank, including East Jerusalem, in accordance with the General Assembly resolution mandated to the Agency.”

At its best, Security Council has stood for vital idea: wars have rules.

Yet I've seen - Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan and beyond- member states debase this idea.

If you defend principles selectively, they are not humanitarian principles.

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

Israeli soldiers reveal systematic destruction of Palestinian property to create Gaza buffer zone, creating a complete wasteland. It is a no-go area for Palestinians-- some have even been killed. @JDiamond1 reports:

[Roland Friedrich @GRFriedrich]

UNRWA schools in #EastJerusalem are under threat, with closure orders issued against six of them today by Israeli officials who entered by force together with armed police. These schools serve some 800 boys and girls, who have no alternatives for their #RightToEducation. (1/3)

[UN Spokesperson @UN_Spokesperson]

We will not participate in any arrangement that does not fully respect the humanitarian principles: humanity, impartiality, independence and neutrality.

Unimpeded humanitarian access must be guaranteed - @antonioguterres

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.

Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.

NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

[Hadja Lahbib @hadjalahbib]

Suspending aid & electricity in Gaza costs lives. We need rapid humanitarian access. #IHL must be respected.

As funding gaps widen, the EU will continue supporting humanitarian & development programs, and @UNRWA’s vital work for Palestine refugees.

Our latest on the situation in📍#Gaza and the #WestBank:

🔹The Israeli Forces large-scale operation that started on 21 January in the West Bank continues with operations in Nur Shams, Tulkarm and Jenin camps. As of 9 March, more than 35,000 Palestinians remain displaced. UNRWA and partners continue to provide urgent humanitarian assistance and psychosocial support to families displaced.
🔹No supplies have entered Gaza since 2 March when the Israeli authorities announced a halt to humanitarian aid. On 9 March the Israeli Minister of Energy and Infrastructure announced an order to cut off electricity. UNICEF warned that water shortages in the Gaza Strip have reached critical levels. Despite the challenges, UNRWA continues to provide critical aid to communities.
🔹Since the start of the ceasefire, UNRWA teams have provided over 507,000 health consultations in Gaza.
🔹Over the past two weeks, UNRWA teams have been able to recover access to more than 130 additional Temporary Learning Spaces, reaching over 44,000 children in Gaza with basic education in the past week.

“A ray of hope from #Gaza

More than 270,000 boys and girls have enrolled in the UNRWA education programme. They’re receiving basic learning in Arabic, English, mathematics & science.

Our teams have recently opened another 130 temporary learning spaces in schools + shelters.

Across Gaza, we are reaching around 47,000 children with in person learning UNRWA remains the largest provider of emergency learning + psychosocial support in Gaza.

#Education for children restores some hope. It helps them heal + slowly re-connect with their childhood.

It’s critical for overcoming the unspeakable traumas they are enduring.

We have however a long way to go to bring more & more children to learning.

The aim is to avert a lost generation of Palestinian children.

The stakes are high, no time to lose.

Bringing back to learning the hundreds thousand girls & boys currently living in the rubble is a matter of urgency.

Failing to do so will sow the seeds for more hatred & extremism.”

'The violence in the occupied #WestBank is alarming. Since January nearly 40,000 Palestine Refugees have been displaced by air strikes, armoured bulldozers and controlled detonations. People cannot return and the demography of camps is being permanently altered.' - @UNLazzarini

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

The 2.2 million people in Gaza have endured unimaginable suffering.

More than 47,000 killed. More than 111,000 injured. Schools, hospitals, homes - all destroyed.

Now Trump wants to force them out of their homeland so he can turn it into a playground for the rich.

Unspeakable.
