#COVID19 cases are on the rise in many parts of the world.

The reports of ongoing hostilities and heavy bombardment in #Gaza are petrifying.
Yesterday our team visited Nassar Medical Hospital in the south. It was packed with 1,000 patients — 3 times over its capacity. Countless people were seeking shelter, filling every corner of the facility.
Patients were receiving care on the floor, screaming in pain.
These conditions are beyond inadequate - unimaginable for the provision of health care.
I cannot find words strong enough to express our concern over what we’re witnessing.
Ceasefire. NOW.

Violence and harassment against women and girls is unacceptable.
There is #NoExcuse!
ILO Convention 190 is designed to help free the world of work from violence and harassment.
During #16DaysOfActivism and every day, I call on all Member States to #RatifyC190 and implement it.

Reports of military incursion into Al-Shifa hospital are deeply concerning.
We’ve lost touch again with health personnel at the hospital.
We’re extremely worried for their and their patients’ safety.
