⚡️BREAKING NEWS ⚡️: The draft decision for the #LossAndDamage Fund has been adopted by the COP and CMA at #COP28. Stay tuned as pledges are expected in this session. The #LossAndDamage Fund is now operationalised!

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

May participants in #COP28 be strategists who focus on the common good and the future of their children, rather than the vested interests of certain countries or businesses. May they demonstrate the nobility of politics and not its shame.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Video journalist Bisan shows us how displaced people are preparing for the winter in southern Gaza.

Over 1.7 million Gazans have had to flee their homes since October 7.

Humanitarian pauses, corridors, ceasefires… are they defined by international humanitarian law?

Whatever the term used, warring parties have obligations to protect civilians and aid workers.

@CDroegeICRC explains more here 👇🏻

This photojournalist dug through the rubble with his bare hands to find his children after an Israeli airstrike hit their home in Gaza.

He looks big and scary 😬

Current satellite imagery of TC Mal just to the west of the Yasawa group. Outer bands are now affecting Viti Levu and Vanua Levu while rough conditions are also being experienced in the Yasawas. This will gradually spread overnight as winds and rain increase.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Every human being, of any people or religion, every human being is sacred, is precious in the eyes of God and has the right to live in peace. Let us not lose hope: let us pray and work tirelessly so that a sense of humanity may prevail over hardness of heart.

To rape and kill women and girls is to defy and violate fundamental aspects of our shared humanity.
Stop sexual violence now!

“It's up to ordinary people to stop it. We did it in the struggle against apartheid in South Africa, and we can do it again.”

From Australia to Belgium and Colombia to Spain, workers are refusing to handle or transport Israel’s war equipment amid Israeli attacks on Gaza.

[Sima Bahous @unwomenchief]

Hospitals are #NotATarget.

Safe access to health care is essential for women & children.

#Gaza needs:
Protection of civilians, hospitals, UN facilities, shelters & schools under international humanitarian law.

Unhindered access to deliver lifesaving supplies to ALL in need.

[Iris Yuen 🌺🌴🦋🇫🇯 @y3iRene]

What is wrong with the Israeli Govt? They can't just drop bombs anytime and any how, such as, hospitals and refugee sites #CeasefireInGazaNOW #HumanityFirst #Right2Life

#Israel/#OPT: “It is clear that status quo is untenable & we must do all we can to alleviate suffering of civilians. Member States with influence need to work harder than ever to bring the parties to a ceasefire, without further delay” – @volker_turk https://t.co/mSlKq0KdLd

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

On October 26, we issued an urgent call for an immediate ceasefire by all parties in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel to prevent further loss of civilian lives and to ensure access to life-saving aid for people in Gaza amidst an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe ⬇️

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let’s #PrayTogether for the people suffering due to war. Yes, they’re suffering a lot. Children, the sick & elderly are suffering; many young people are dying. Let’s not forget Ukraine. Let’s think of the people of Palestine & Israel, that the Lord might bring them a just #peace.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us ask God to grant us a compassionate gaze and a humble heart. May we never tire of asking for this, for it is on the path of compassion and humility that the Lord gives us His life, which triumphs over death.
