They were girls who went to school to learn, with hopes and dreams for their future. Today, their lives were brutally cut short.
I am heartbroken and appalled by the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, including reports that a girls’ school in southern Iran was hit, resulting in the injury and death of many girls. The killing of civilians, especially children, is unconscionable, and I condemn it unequivocally.
My heart is with the children, families and communities affected by escalation across the region. I stand firmly against violence and the targeting of schools and civilians. I call for the escalation of violence across the region to end. Justice and accountability must follow. All states and parties must uphold their obligations under international law to protect civilians and safeguard schools.
Every child deserves to live and learn in peace.
Having already killed or wounded 200,000 Palestinians, the extremist Israeli government is using mass starvation to engineer the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
Despite these crimes, the US has provided $22 billion to Israeli military operations since the war began.
Enough is enough.

@jk_rowling Dumbledore says people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right
They were right. You were wrong. Accept it please
On 2 and 3 May 2024, @DTM_IOM team members met in London for a Global DTM Retreat.
Our efforts reconfigured DTM's data collection and consolidation systems. An evolution that strengthens the use of #Data4Action#Data4Insight#Data4Forsight @IOM_GDI

The @IOMchief visited health clinics in Islamabad to meet IOM’s medical staff conducting immigration medical examinations for migrants and health assessments for refugees as part of IOM’s resettlement programme.🩺
@UNmigration reaffirms its calls - in line with other UN agencies- for an immediate and lasting ceasefire, unhindered access to humanitarian aid, and urgent need to protect civilians and aid workers alike.
Civilians and aid workers must not be a target.
I fully support the UN Secretary General’s decision invoking Article 99 of the UN Charter to urge the UN Security Council to avert a humanitarian catastrophe in #Gaza and appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared.
I echo @antonioguterres call for lasting and immediate humanitarian ceasefire in #Gaza.
The people of Gaza must have immediate access to safe shelter, medical care, food, hygiene and sanitation facilities and ensure that family members are not separated.

Heartbroken by the continued loss of life in #Gaza.
These are real people - children, women, elderly people - civilians who are suffering and dying.
I join calls for immediate humanitarian ceasefire and delivery of relief to people affected.
Civilians must never be targets.

@etihad can you kindly guide as to why I have to have continuous back and forth with your team on taking my pet cat with me on my flight despite the fact that I have all my documents? I have never had any such trouble with @TurkishAirlines - better to travel with them?
