Unbearable scenes of devastation at the Al Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza tonight.
Hospitals and civilians are protected under international humanitarian law and must be spared.
Last night, one of our residences in #Gaza was damaged.
While no one was inside at the time, we urgently call on all parties to exercise restraint and protect humanitarian workers and infrastructure.
This allows us to enable humanitarian responses.
Yet, even amidst the hatred and carnage, life is still worth living. It is possible for wonderful encounters and beautiful things to exist.

When I was consulting, I was once asked by a UN agency to send in a proposal to be a national consultant on a gender related contract. The role, to support the international consultant to develop a policy document on gender in Samoa. The int consultant : white Australian man.

It is quite a loss to Malaysian democracy to not have her in the Dewan. These are challenging times and we need good people at the policy level.
People of #Syria have been through a lot over a decade. Today they woke up 2 a devastating earthquake. Our heartfelt thoughts are w/ families of the dead, injured, and those who lost their home.
