Today at #UNSC, 🇮🇪 delivered a statement on behalf of 🇩🇿 🇧🇪 🇧🇷 🇬🇾 🇮🇩 🇯🇴 🇰🇼 🇱🇺 🇳🇴 🇵🇹 🇶🇦 🇸🇮 🇿🇦 🇪🇸 🇵🇸 in support of @UNRWA.
The group deplores the measures being taken by Israel against UNRWA, incl legislation adopted that prevents UNRWA from continuing its life-saving operations in the #oPt.
The group reaffirms the shared commitments on UNRWA & remains committed to ensuring necessary support to the Agency 🇺🇳
The horrific scenes unfolding in Jabalia, and northern Gaza must stop.
An entire population is being encircled and forced out, with nowhere for them to go.

Today, the Government announces it will formally recognise the State of Palestine on May 28th.
Today, we state clearly our unambiguous support for the equal right to security, dignity, and self-determination for the Palestinian and Israeli peoples.
President Higgins this afternoon received the President of the Palestinian FA, Jibril Rajoub, Ambassador Dr Jilan Abdalmajid and players and managers of the Palestine and @bfcdublin women's football teams at Áras an Uachtaráin ahead of Wednesday's match at Dalymount Park
.@WHO and partners managed to reach Al-Shifa — once the backbone of the health system in #Gaza, which is now an empty shell with human graves after the latest siege. The team witnessed at least five dead bodies during the mission.
Most of the buildings in the hospital complex are extensively destroyed and the majority of assets damaged or reduced to ashes. Even restoring minimal functionality in the short term seems implausible. An in-depth assessment by a team of engineers is needed to determine if the remaining buildings are safe for future use.
WHO and partners’ recent effort to support the revival of basic services at Al-Shifa are now lost, and people are once again deprived of access to lifesaving health care services.
As famine looms, disease outbreaks spread, and trauma injuries increase, WHO urges immediate:
- protection of remaining health facilities in Gaza
- protection of health and humanitarian workers
- additional land crossings to allow access into and across north Gaza
- functional deconfliction mechanism
- unimpeded access of humanitarian aid into and across the Gaza Strip
- ceasefire.
We are delighted to be hosting our first #StPatricksDay ☘️ Reception in Dodoma tonight, together with our partners in government and other Dodoma-based organisations.
🇮🇪🇹🇿

Horrified by UN report that half of Gaza’s population face catastrophic food insecurity & imminent famine.
This is entirely man-made. Israel bears responsibility for restrictions on food, water & health supplies. These must be lifted immediately; a huge increase in aid is needed
