🚨The situation in Buurhakaba is extremely dire.

Nearly 40% of children under five are acutely malnourished or worse.

The risk of catastrophe is real and rising fast.

Urgent support is needed now to prevent the worst❗#Somalia

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

❗️🇪🇺 Amid a genocide, Europeans must know: Israel is the second largest per-capita recipient of EU start-up funding via @EUeic

EU institutions will have to answer for the ‘innovations’ that have aided Israel’s assault on Gaza. But right now, this program must be stopped.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The latest @theIPCinfo alert confirms what we have feared:

Gaza is on the brink of famine.

The facts are in — and they are undeniable.

Palestinians in Gaza are enduring a humanitarian catastrophe of epic proportions.
This is not a warning.
It is a reality unfolding before our eyes.

The trickle of aid must become an ocean. Food, water, medicine, and fuel must flow in waves and without obstruction.

This nightmare must end.

Ending this worst-case scenario will take the best efforts of all parties -- now.

We need an immediate and permanent humanitarian ceasefire; the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages; and full, unfettered humanitarian access across Gaza.

This is a test of our shared humanity – a test we cannot afford to fail.

Startling rise in diagnoses linked to #poordiet in the past decade, with nearly half a million admissions of patients with iron deficiencies, hundreds of thousands suffering from vitamin deficiencies and more than 10,000 cases of #malnutrition last year. https://t.co/17NvYLnnBq

[IFAN @IFAN_UK]

"Perpetuating the myth that food surplus redistribution can possibly solve food poverty suits stakeholders with a vested interest in perpetuating the status quo. These happen to include a government stubbornly ignoring a poverty catastrophe in our midst."

We are sounding the alarm: There is a risk of genocide against the Palestine people.

A true transformation to healthy & sustainable #foodsystems cannot happen without social justice.

@DeSchutterO “In order to tackle the root causes of #hunger we have to strengthen #socialprotection nets not merely increasing #foodaid” #Extinction2023

[ValentinaPesarin @ValePesarin]

@DeSchutterO The number of hungry people have been increasing progressively in the last 4 years. The MAIN reason is that the countries with highest rates of food insecurity have been forced to turn to cash crops production to repay their debts #Extinction2023 @IPESfood

[ValentinaPesarin @ValePesarin]

“The @UN has warned we have 60 harvests left in world #soil. This is why it is a question of #extinction2023 or regeneration, if we have no soil we have no food and is time for food to gain centre stage”

Lograr el #hambrecero Perú implica transformar los sistemas agroalimentarios. En 30 años se alimentará a 40 millones de peruanos, lo que requiere producir 50% más de alimentos sin afectar los recursos naturales y la biodiversidad @MarianaFaoPeru

Tomaso Ferrado discusses the role of financial speculation in the global food system, the impact it has on prices, and the need for systemic transformation.

This is big. A new UN resolution calls for the international court of justice (ICJ) to clarify nations’ obligations for climate mitigation and to define consequences for inaction. This could also help establish a legal framework for climate reparations. https://t.co/DvAd6nU2TO

▶️We need transformation to resilient #foodsystems now!

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

This image from today's IPCC synthesis report is brutal. The existing policy trajectory represents a profound failure of our governments, and of our international political system. We need much more aggressive mitigation and much stronger international cooperation.
