Honored to be re-elected as @ifrc president! I am proud to take this challenge together with our 14 million Red Cross Red Crescent volunteers who at this very moment are doing their utmost to serve their local communities. bit.ly/3HB4RlC #PowerOfWe

There are alarming reports of settler violence coming from the occupied West Bank: the demolition of homes, relentless expansion of illegal Israeli settlements, ongoing displacement of Palestinians, the threat of an attempted annexation that would – like the decades-long occupation – have no legal validity. The risk of making a two-State solution impossible – when there is no other viable option. And throughout, the presumption of impunity. These injustices must stop. Countries must comply with all their obligations under international law. No exceptions.

In Gaza, 1 in 5 households survives on just one meal a day. Many families are forced to borrow money or resort to desperate measures to get enough food. @WFP has expanded its life-saving operations, but the situation remains extremely fragile. wfp.org/emergencies/palestin…

UNICEF is outraged by the killing of two drivers of trucks contracted by UNICEF to provide clean water to families in the Gaza Strip. The victims were killed by Israeli fire in an incident that took place early this morning at the Mansoura water filling point in northern Gaza. UNICEF extends our condolences to the families of the men killed. Full statement: unicef.link/4cVCyP9

We are alarmed by sustained violations of the rules of war and IHL across the Middle East. Thousands of civilians have been killed and injured just in the last month. Hundreds of thousands displaced. All parties must protect civilians and infrastructure. bit.ly/4c6ouD2

Lebanon: @antonioguterres, deeply alarmed by mounting toll on civilians following massive strikes by Israel, unequivocally condemns the attacks. International law must be respected. Civilians must be protected. Attacks against them are unacceptable. un.org/sg/en/content/sg/stat…

Humanitarian leaders urge Israeli authorities to reconsider plan to ban international NGOs in OPT. INGOs deliver close to $1B aid annually. As winter deepens suffering, restricting NGOs risks ceasefire progress. Humanitarian access is a legal obligation bit.ly/3N1AyLI

RT @UNLazzarini: Today in the early morning, Israeli police accompanied by municipal officials forcibly entered the @UNRWA compound in East…

Lasting peace in the Middle East will never be built through more violence. We need an immediate and permanent ceasefire, an immediate & unconditional release of all hostages & unhindered humanitarian access. The two-State solution is the only path forward: Israel & Palestine, living side by side in peace and security. We must seize this moment with a united commitment to diplomacy, international law & the dignity of all people. I told the Security Council that there are responsibilities each member must uphold & urged them to act. un.org/sg/en/content/sg/stat…

Israel, as the occupying Power, has clear obligations. It must ensure the provision of food, water, medicine, and other essentials. It must agree to and facilitate far greater humanitarian access. It must protect civilians and civilian infrastructure. And it must end the destruction of that which is indispensable for the survival of the civilian population in Gaza. I appeal once again for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, unfettered humanitarian access across Gaza, and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. No more excuses. No more obstacles. No more lies.

Famine has now been confirmed in Gaza. Over half a million people are facing the most devastating form of hunger, warns @theIPCinfo. An immediate ceasefire and unhindered humanitarian access is imperative to save lives. wfp.org/news/famine-confirme… — via @WFP

Come più volte abbiamo annunciato si é fatta notte: la guerra si è scatenata e sembra sedurre nazione dopo nazione. I governi accecati vogliono la guerra e il mondo è in fiamme! Regnano morte, violenza, sofferenza,oppressione ma i potenti di questo mondo continuano a star bene!!!

The UN Charter established the principles that continue to guide United Nations decolonization efforts, including respect for self-determination of all peoples. See how the @UN has played a historic role in the wave of decolonization📺 buff.ly/RM5g6jA

#BREAKING: The entire Gaza Strip is at risk of famine. 🛑Food is dangerously scarce. 🛑Hunger and malnutrition intensified. 🛑Mortality levels past the famine thresholds within the next 5 months. Report details bit.ly/3SwtVAx #Gaza

Video showed that before 15 aid workers were killed by Israeli forces, they had their emergency signal lights on, contradicting Israel’s claims. nyti.ms/43C8G7j

🚨 “Last Saturday, we witnessed one of the darkest moments yet in a conflict that has shocked our common humanity to the core.” – Dr. Younis Alkhatib, PRCS President, at the UN Security Council. A mass grave was uncovered—15 first responders were killed and buried. Among them were 8 PRCS paramedics, 6 civil defense members, and 1 UN officer. Their only mission was to save lives. One medic, Asad Al-Nasasra, remains missing. “The voices of Mostafa, Ezzedine, Saleh, Refaat, Mohammed Bahloul, Mohammed Al Heila, Ashraf, and Raed are calling for justice. Can you hear them?” #NotATarget #Gaza #UNSecurityCouncil

A tragedy against humanitarian work. The Red Crescent emblem, meant to protect you, has instead become the shroud that wrapped your bodies. Mustafa Khafaja, Ezzedine Shaat, Saleh Ma’amar, Rifaat Radwan, Mohammad Bahloul, Ashraf Abu Labda, Mohammad Al-Heila, and Raed Al-Sharif.

15 emergency & aid workers in Gaza – from @PalestineRCS, Palestinian Civil Defense and UN - were found buried by their wrecked & well-marked vehicles. Our condolences to their families.

They were killed by Israeli forces while trying to save lives. We demand answers & justice.

🚨The Palestine Red Crescent Society is devastated by the killing of eight of its EMTs in Rafah, who were targeted by the Israeli army while performing their humanitarian duties. They were responding to an emergency call to assist the wounded following Israeli airstrikes in the Al-Hashashin area of Rafah in the Gaza Strip. A ninth EMT remains missing and is believed to have been detained. The names of the ambulance crew members who were killed are: 1.Mustafa Khafaja 2.Ezzedine Sha’at 3.Saleh Moammar 4.Rifaat Radwan 5.Mohammad Behloul 6.Ashraf Abu Labda 7.Mohammad Al-Hila 8.Raed Al-Sharif May mercy be upon the heroes of humanitarian work.🙏 #NotATarget #IHL #Gaza

ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE: A @WFP convoy, clearly marked & carrying 8 team members, was shot at by Israeli forces near Wadi Gaza despite prior clearances. Humanitarians are #NotATarget! We MUST have safe, secure access to continue delivering life-saving aid.
