I am appalled that United Nations premises have been struck in Gaza – among them UNOPS & World Health Organization (WHO) facilities. These premises are inviolable & must be protected under international humanitarian law – without exception.

While the lifelines in #Gaza are being cut, our ability to save lives slips further out of reach each day, as seen in recent attacks on our facilities. Despite these attacks, World Health Organization (WHO) will remain in Deir al Balah to deliver aid. WHO urgently calls on Member States to help ensure

Humans are hardwired for connection. But the growing rates of social disconnection shorten lives and fracture societies. Based on the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) Commission on Social Connection, we urge leaders to act now before more lives are lost. aljazeera.com/opinions/2025/…
