For two bloody months, we have seen the Israeli forces' indiscriminate attacks on Gaza target Palestinian civilians and healthcare workers. Our patients and staff have been killed. Nowhere is safe.
We call for an immediate and sustained ceasefire in Gaza.
It all #MustStopNow.
Around the world, marches and calls for a Ceasefire continue!
We remain steadfast in calling for a total and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the West Bank.
@PSCupdates
Thank You.
For your support - in person or in spirit - we thank you.
To all the march participants, young and old, we salute your courage & determination to walk with us.
To our supporters, in Samoa and overseas, who could not be with us this morning, we stood together on.. 1/7
@tavgale@samoaobserver Well, apparently, some Samoans need a few more history lessons and to focus on books instead of propaganda 👀
Good luck with your continued ignorance. We will continue to advocate for a Ceasefire and pressure OUR government to do the same.
🚨 US just vetoed another #Gaza ceasefire resolution in the UN Security Council. Drafted by UAE with nearly 100 co-sponsors.
13 votes in favor, 1 against (US) and 1 abstention (UK).
@hrw reaction follows in a short thread 🧵
@tavgale@samoaobserver The more you reply, the more you confirm your lack of humanity and ignorance. This page is called Samoans For Ceasefire so we are going to be 100% for the end of genocide in Palestine and will never agree or support genocide apologists such as yourself.
The US govt remains complicit in the mass murder/ethnic cleansing of an entire population.
If @samoagovt values the principles of democracy we have espoused since Independence, they will advocate for an immediate and permanent ceasefire.
#BREAKING United States vetoes Security Council draft resolution that would have demanded an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, and immediate and unconditional release of all hostages
VOTE
In Favour: 13
Against: 1 (US)
Abstain: 1 (UK)
@tavgale@samoaobserver If you believe the killing of children and other innocent people are justified by your blind allegiance to a genocidal, colonial empire then that's your burden to carry through your life.
Your delusion and ignorance is the mouthpiece of your miseducation.
WFP's latest assessment inside #Gaza is alarming.
Almost no one has enough food.
In some areas, 9 out of 10 people have gone a full day and night with nothing to eat.
WFP continues to call for a humanitarian ceasefire. It is the only way to avert a humanitarian catastrophe.
Our Pacific Islands nations have close, long-term ties with major development partners, with some being former colonial masters.
The US is a major world power, and many smaller nations take their lead from powerful allies and partners.

“We do not support calls for an immediate ceasefire, this would only plant the seeds for the next war” - Robert A. Wood, Deputy Permanent Representative of the United States to the UN
In my 35 years of work in complex emergencies, I never have expected to write such a letter, predicting the killing of my staff & the collapse of the mandate I am expected to fulfill #Gaza
@tavgale@samoaobserver Please educate yourself on what genocide really means before you decide to join a conversation again.
There's enough information freely available to you to learn from if you wish to be informed by facts and reality, instead of the fancy delusions you carry.
“We did what we could. Remember us.”
These are words MSF Dr Mahmoud Abu Nujaila, who was killed in a hospital strike, wrote on a Gaza hospital whiteboard.
Four of our colleagues have been killed.
Many more have lost family members.
It #MustStopNow.
#Gaza: For the first time yesterday, the number of people killed arriving to the MSF-supported Al-Aqsa hospital surpassed the number of injured people.
115 people killed in 24 hours.
The hospital is full, the morgue is full...
