The images of the Israeli hostages in Gaza are horrifying. Their ordeal is beyond words. I share the pain of their loved ones.
The human catastrophe in Gaza has so many faces. The hostages must be released. Food must enter. The war must end. We need a ceasefire. Now.
We stand with @UN & NGOs in rejecting Israel’s new scheme that violate humanitarian principles.
Gaza's children are starving. Israel must lift the blockade and allow unrestricted access.

Join @UNFPA Executive Director @Atayeshe, @NorwayUN and #UNFPAChampion@abigailmusida at this #CPD58 event on the importance of addressing the health needs of women and girls in humanitarian crises.

Around the world, girls’ and women’s rights are increasingly under threat and there is a rollback of hard-won progress towards #GenderEquality. We stand with girls and young women who are fighting for equal rights and opportunities #UntilWeAreAllEqual#SocialJusticeDay
#MoneyTalks er aktuell tittel på #NoradKonferansen når vi ser konsekvensene av USAs bistandsfrys. Helsehjelp til jenter og kvinner og #likestilling rammes. Overraskende at tilbakeslaget for likestilling ikke nevnes av @norad eller @Utenriksdept når scenen settes for konferansen.
We talked to over 300 girls across the Pacific region about how #ClimateChange has impacted their lives. 82% of girls say that climate change has affected their life at home, in school or in their community #COP29.

We condemn this morning’s attacks by the Russian military across #Ukraine including on the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital in Kyiv. Attacks on hospitals are prohibited under International Humanitarian Law & are illegal. Children must be protected & not targeted https://t.co/EyauVKsqfN
We're horrified by reports that 29 people in #Gaza have been killed following an attack on a displacement camp located by a school. Palestinian civilians have the right to a life free from war, violence and fear. We demand a #CeasefireNow#StopSendingArms https://t.co/6RACsaXCWY
@unrwa is the lifeline for many Palestinians in #Gaza UNRWA is needed for distribution of emergency aid during the ongoing war and for education and health care after a ceasefire. A great pleasure to meet @UNLazzarini today and express @PlanNorge ‘s support to UNRWA.
Norwegian NGOs active in Gaza & the West Bank expressed today our full support for @UNLazzarini and @UNRWA, which remain under politically-motivated & extremist attacks.
There is no substitute for UNRWA in their essential support for the besieged civilian population in Gaza.
We are deeply disturbed by reports that Israeli strikes on a camp for displaced people in Rafah have killed at least 40 people. Refugee camps should be a place of safety and never a target. Nowhere in Gaza is safe - there must be an immediate and sustained #CeasefireNow
Regjeringen vil prioritere trygghet ute og hjemme i #RNB Når verdens fattige blir en salderingspost, blir verden ikke et tryggere sted
@panoramanyheter
Norge er fortsatt en stor mottager av bistandspenger over #RNB Økte utgifter til mottak av flyktninger i Norge går hardt utover blant annet utdanning til jenter, støtte til syriske flyktninger og klimatiltak @panoramanyheter
At @PlanGlobal, we are also horrified by the unlawful forced evacuation orders for Palestinian civilians issued by the Israeli government and plans for a ground invasion of #Rafah. With our humanitarian peers, we have warned of this and of the imminent death and suffering.
TODAY is the Global Day of Action to #StopSendingArms. Arms sales and transfers to Israel MUST STOP and steps towards an immediate sustained ceasefire must begin. End the human suffering in #Gaza now
Bistanden kan være med å skape sammenhenger og skape gode rammer for investeringer, sier Kari Helene Partapuoli, generalsekretær i Plan International Norge. #Civitafrokost
I can’t shake the heartbreak I witnessed while meeting with Palestine & Sudanese refugees during my Ramadan solidarity visit to Egypt & Jordan.
But I will not give up.
We must keep doing all we can to allow our common humanity to prevail in Gaza & other places around the world.
“This is about women and the control of women’s bodies.”
Despite outcry from activists and survivors, #TheGambia’s parliament advanced a bill to decriminalise female genital mutilation. If the bill is passed, the country could become the first to reverse a ban on FGM.
