💥Debunking myths💥The defenders of Israel's genocide in Gaza constantly point to Palestinian casualties' figures as "not reliable as they are from Hamas-run Ministry of Health". This myth has been authoritatively debunked times and times again in top medical journals. Only @TheLancet has published at least 4 articles & letters in the last 17 months confirming that, if anything, the death stats of Gaza MoH are an UNDER-COUNT (see below). It's high time that the MEDIA stops referring to the source of the death count as Hamas-run Ministry of Health. The title must be "Israel killed 43 Palestinians today" rather than "43 people killed in Gaza according to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health". Unless the media wants to continue whitewashing int'l crimes.

🇻🇦 🇮🇱 A couple of months ago, Pope Francis who passed away today, called the Israeli army 'terrorists':

"I continue to receive very serious and painful news from Gaza. Unarmed civilians are subjected to bombings and shootings. A mother and her daughter were killed by Israeli snipers while going to the restroom. It is terrorism."

I honestly don't know how I am expected to do my job while everyone around me pretends that Arab people being mass murdered is no big deal.

Esto es El Congo.
Esto son las minas para extraer los minerales para que occidente tenga progreso.

Es una mina que ha colapsado, debido a la manera infrahumana en la que trabajan, muchos son niños.
Después cuando huyen de sus países,no los quieren aquí.

En el Gran Resistencia (Chaco) la pobreza alcanza el 80%!

Esto es inaceptable, inaguantable.

Y la Mafia del Desmonte, hace décadas, dice que deforesta para generar desarrollo y progreso.

Desmonte es más pobreza (y estructural)

"We join the Yazidi community in Iraq, and around the world in your grief & remain committed in your journey of healing, recovery & fight for justice."

Watch a statement from @GGigauriIOM , IOM Iraq's Chief of Mission, on the commemoration of 10 years since the Yazidi genocide.

For the Zionist trolls saying I should “go to Gaza” as if it’s a curse: I’ve been there. Starting in 1988, and many times since. I actually lived there for 2 years. Even under brutal occupation, it was one of the most wonderful societies I’ve ever experienced. Extraordinarily warm, deeply moral, highly educated, uniquely sophisticated in philosophy & politics. A rich culture rooted in centuries of connection with the land. The music, the dance, the food, the hilarious sense of humor of the Palestinian people- and their courage & steadfastness were all deeply imprinted on me. And yes- I will return to a free Palestine to sit on the beach in Gaza, drink sweet tea, smoke apple tobacco in the nargeela & celebrate this ancient culture flourishing on its ancient land. So thanks for the wish.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Like all other Special Rapporteurs, I perform my duties without financial compensation to preserve my independence.

I have never got paid for anything I have done in this capacity. In the past months, I have even been subsisting on personal & family savings to dedicate all my energies to this role at a time of unprecedented urgency in the oPt. I have also waived contract fees & royalties for the book I published in 2023 & refuse payment for lectures I deliver all over the world.

My external research team is also volunteering their time to support my work. One university has fundraised for my special assistant's fellowship and so far, only received private donations to cover her travel expenses. This is known to the UN and verifiable.

UN Watch’s accusations are completely unsubstantiated and aim to distract from Israel’s ongoing genocidal campaign.

I refuse to allow my work to be diminished by any forms of intimidation. Today, like every day, I remain faithful to my mandate to find a path to dignity, justice and peace for all in Palestine.

Meanwhile: #Israel has just bombed a UN school in Gaza, reportedly killing over 40 Palestinians who were seeking shelter. And #Spain has announced that it will join South Africa's proceedings before the @CIJ_ICJ.

🚨You don’t accidentally target refugee camps…

🚨You don’t accidentally kill over 100 journalists and over 250 aid workers…

🚨You don’t accidentally attack 35 hospitals…

🚨You don’t accidentally destroy over 350,000 houses…

THIS IS A TARGETED GENOCIDE..🇵🇸💔

Yazan Al-Kafarna, a 9-year-old Palestinian boy with cerebral palsy, was forced to flee the Israeli invasion of Beit Hanoun with his family to southern Gaza. Recently, Yazan's health deteriorated due to a shortage of food and oxygen.

Today, Yazan passed away due to insufficient healthcare and a lack of specialized food for his condition at Abu Youssef Al-Najjar Hospital, exacerbated by the Israeli blockade of Gaza.

🔴 URGENTE. "La Franja de Gaza está a punto de presenciar una explosión en muertes" de niños por hambre, alertan @UNICEF , @WFP y @WHO

La desnutrición infantil aguda en el norte ha experimentado "un deterioro sin precedentes en todo el mundo".

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

It is unclear on which grounds - other than overt racism - @NikkiHaley urges that Palestinians should be displaced to Egypt.
Forced displacement is prohibited under Intl Law & constitutes a Crime agst Humanity when it occurs in the context of widespread attacks agst civilians.

BREAKING: Israel just murdered another Palestinian journalist, Muhammad Abou Huwaidi.

Muhammad was wearing his press vest when Israel deliberately killed him.

Israel has now killed 100 journalists in Gaza in 77 days.

100 journalists.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

There were never SAFE AREAS IN GAZA: neither during 5 wars since 2008, when 4000 ppl were killed incl 1000 children (but then Hamas "started the war"); nor in 2months post-Oct7, as ISR has dropped ammunitions equal to 2 nuclear bombs incl during evacuations/or in "safe zones".

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

#UN Member States -incl US allies #EU, #Australia, #NZ, #Canada- should challenge current US leadership, which preaches principles that it then betrays as it enables Israel's atrocities.
Another world order is necessary: to stop Palestinians' unspeakable sacrifice & save us all.
