Highlights👇(Thread 1/3)

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Almost everyone in #Gaza is going hungry according to the latest assessment. This is inhumane.

@WHO calls for immediate access for all humanitarian aid, starting with food and medicine for severely malnourished children, who need to be treated urgently.

WHO continues to call for a ceasefire. The best medicine is peace.

This is the best news of the week! ‘Gamechanger’ HIV prevention drug to be made available cheaply in 120 countries! A twice year injection that showed 100% success in protecting against HIV infection! https://t.co/BFmJB88v2H

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

Thank you Javier Bardem for your decency, your courage, and love for all human beings. You are a beacon of light, amigo.

Participation of female athletes at the Olympics:

Athens 1896 - 0%
Paris 2024 - 50%

It took more than a century, but the Paris 2024 Olympics are set to be the first in history to achieve full gender parity, with equal numbers of male and female athletes! That's pretty awesome.

A third of rebel fighters in Nepal's civil war were women. They were enticed to join on a promise of equality. But the crimes against them during war were not treated equally in peace. 🧵

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

The U.S. government is still supplying 2 thousand pound bombs and ammunition to support Israel's policy. Until there are substantive consequences, this outrage does nothing. Bibi obviously doesn't care what the U.S. says, its about what the U.S. does. https://t.co/X2xBLB7gOD
