The humanitarian situation in Gaza is horrific.
I renew my appeals for a humanitarian ceasefire and the immediate release of all hostages.
All those with influence must exert it to ensure respect for the rules of war, end the suffering and avoid a spillover of the conflict.
On behalf of all the children caught in this nightmare, weโre calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.
We need unrestricted humanitarian access, immediate and safe release of all abducted children, and protection for all children.
Utterly shocked by reports of attacks on ambulances evacuating patients close to Al-Shifa hospital in #Gaza, leading to deaths, injuries and damage.
We reiterate: patients, health workers, facilities, and ambulances must be protected at all times. Always.
Ceasefire NOW. #NotATarget
Children and schools should never be targets. This isnโt a matter of opinion โ itโs international law.
I continue my call for a ceasefire. The Israeli government must end these indiscriminate attacks that have cost thousands of innocent Palestinian children and families their lives.

A load of people advancing their own agenda will cry: we are at the bottom of the league
We arenโt!
And if you want us to be Denmark then give public health the same resources as the Danes: the IT, the staff & the influence on policy
We wonโt be Israel either as they arenโt
The parents of these three beautiful children got into a boat because they felt they had no other option.
The family drowned because there was no other possible route, in the absence of Safe Passage.
Hostile migration policies continue to kill.

The saddest by-product of the pandemic is how many people rationalize death tolls by age.
The "83 was a good innings" logic to diminish the value of life in old age.
Ok lets take a look at 83.
