With attention gravitating towards the #Israeli invasion of #Lebanon (and the mass forcible transfer taking place south of the Awali River), the forcible transfer of Palestinians out of northern #Gaza is taking place at an unprecedented rate, in preparation for the permanent

Starving a civilian population to starve militants embedded within it is still starvation of a civ population as a method of warfare, i.e. a war crime.

#UNSC emergency session on #Gaza | On #WorldFoodDay, #Switzerland sounded the alarm on the looming #famine and forced displacement of civilians. We must ensure respect for #IHL, secure unimpeded #HumanitarianAccess, and demand an immediate ceasefire and release of all hostages.

One of the dumbest tropes of fake-laws-of-armed-conflict on this hell site is that giving an advanced warning is enough to somehow change someone's protected status. It's as if I'd warn you that I'll slap you, proceed to slap you, and then say hey I've warned you, so it's OK

Deeply troubling development and attempt at a justification. Further hollowing out of IHL. If the argument is flipped and applied by NSAGs, not sure it would be accepted and would be rightly condemned

Today - for the 4th consecutive day - our urgent request to access the Falouja area of Jabalya, North #Gaza, to help those trapped under the rubble, was denied by Israeli authorities. We reiterate: these delays are likely costing lives. #AccessDenied

📍 Lebanon | Armed conflicts destroy more than buildings, they also tear families apart. We urgently call for the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure.

The vote by the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) against UNRWA this evening is unprecedented and sets a dangerous precedent. It opposes the UN Charter and violates the State of Israel’s obligations under international law.  This is the latest in the ongoing campaign to discredit

The ICJ’s Provisional Measures Order of March in the genocide case explicitly required Israel to fully cooperate with the United Nations to ensure humanitarian delivery to Palestinians in Gaza. There is no UN actor more important in that respect than UNRWA. This is not ambiguous.

The nightmare in #Sudan shows no end in sight. Scores of civilians have been killed or injured, amid reports of sexual violence and widespread looting in a new wave of armed violence in Aj Jazirah State. People are on the brink of their coping limits. ➡️ bit.ly/3AdVGbJ

Russia deploys systematic sexual torture against Ukrainians, both civilians and prisoners of war, in “almost all” detention centres where they are held, the UN finds. Two-thirds of the victims are men and boys who were tortured in Russian jails. trib.al/cfq1sGq

The horrific reality for people of #Gaza & #Israel since 7 October 2023 detailed in UN Human Rights report. Close to 70% of those killed in Gaza are children & women. Unprecedented violations of IHL give rise to concerns of atrocity crimes. The violence must stop immediately.
