I have urged Israel to lift all impediments on aid to #Gaza. Now this - MORE impediments. UNRWA is the beating heart of the humanitarian response in Gaza. The decision to block its food convoys to the north only pushes thousands closer to famine. It must be revoked.

The UN Security Council has adopted a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The resolution also calls for the immediate, unconditional release of all hostages. “This resolution must be implemented. Failure would be unforgiveable,” said António Guterres.

“Following nearly 6 months of unrelenting Israeli assault on occupied #Gaza, it is my solemn duty to report on the worst of what humanity is capable of & to present my findings: 'the Anatomy of a Genocide'.” — Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt at United Nations Human Rights Council. #HRC55

I can’t shake the heartbreak I witnessed while meeting with Palestine & Sudanese refugees during my Ramadan solidarity visit to Egypt & Jordan. But I will not give up. We must keep doing all we can to allow our common humanity to prevail in Gaza & other places around the world.

Our hearts grieve with World Central Kitchen staff and families of the seven aid workers killed in a strike by Israeli forces on April 1st, and we extend our deepest condolences. We are outraged by this deadly attack on humanitarian workers trying to provide food to people in dire need.

The situation in #Gaza is disastrous. Once again, World Health Organization (WHO) demands a ceasefire. Once again, we call for all hostages to be released, and for lasting peace.

3 times. 4 times. 7 times. 9 times. People in #Gaza tell us the number of times they've been displaced within the Strip before arriving in Rafah. There are now 1.5 million people there. An offensive on Rafah would only be catastrophic. We call for an immediate ceasefire.

.World Health Organization (WHO) and partners went to Khan Younis yesterday to assess the health facilities there. The team described the destruction as "disproportionate to anything one can imagine". No building or road is intact, there is only rubble and dirt. Hostilities in the vicinity of a WHO

This week the world has experienced the three hottest days on record. Earth is becoming hotter and more dangerous for everyone, everywhere. We must rise to the challenge of rising temperatures. Here’s my call to #ClimateAction: un.org/climatechange/…

Heat is estimated to kill almost half a million people a year. We know what is driving it: fossil fuel-charged, human-induced climate change. Extreme heat is the new abnormal. But the good news is we can save lives and limit its impact. un.org/climatechange/…

Céline Dion has a rare autoimmune neurological disorder that causes muscle stiffness called stiff person syndrome. There is no treatment and she has not performed in 4 years. She just opened the Olympics with this stunning performance. Magnifique.

Full resignation letter from FCDO British diplomat Mark Smith:

The situation in Gaza is a non-stop nightmare that threatens to take the entire region with it. Lebanon is at the brink. The people of Lebanon, the people of Israel and the people of the world cannot afford Lebanon to become another Gaza.

Civilians are #NotATarget. Humanitarians are #NotATarget. An end to the hostilities in Lebanon is urgently needed.

On 14 October, an Israeli airstrike targeted an area housing displaced people inside the MSF-supported Al Aqsa hospital compound in Deir Al Balah, resulting in 65 wounded and 5 dead. It is the seventh time that Al Aqsa hospital compound was bombed since March 2024; three of them

Unicef spokesperson James Elder is recently back from Gaza. He tells me the humanitarian situation there is "everything that the international community ever feared, but worse somehow: no aid and more attacks on civilian areas."

The world feels a whole lot more terrifying this morning - especially for any hope of climate action. Right now I feel sick. But I also know we have choices on how to respond - and will try even harder to light candles rather than curse the darkness 🕯️

“The drones would come down and pick off civilians – children.” A former NHS surgeon, Nizam Mamode, who spent a month working in Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, broke down while testifying about children in Gaza being shot by drones.
