“According to @unicef.org 50,000 boys and girls have been killed or injured in just 20 months,” UNRWA Juliette Touma tells @rte.ie. Civilians, including children, humanitarian and medical workers, first responders, and journalists, continue to be killed and injured in the #Gaza Strip.

“We’re looking at boxes of food here [in UNRWA warehouses]… some of it expiring in July,” UNRWA Jonathan Fowler tells @npr.org. As needs increase, food and other essential supplies remain stuck just hours away from #Gaza — preventing it from reaching those who need it most.

Important words from UNRWA. 🕊️

Forests cover 1/3 of the Earth's land, provide clean air and water, store carbon, and are home to much biodiversity. However, 10 million hectares are cleared annually by humans—equivalent to the size of Portugal. UNEP supports the protection of these ecosystems: unep.org/topics/fores...

Truly inhumane to send immigrants to South Sudan (not their country), with of course no due process as required. The country is in the midst of deadly fighting with millions fleeing to neighboring countries. Will the Trump administration next decide to send people to Gaza?? This must end.

Simply devastating and unacceptable. In 60 days, 950 children killed. The global community needs to step up and show its compassion and humanity.

In 2024, nearly 38 million children under five were acutely malnourished across 26 nutrition crises. “We cannot respond to empty stomachs with empty hands and turned backs.” - United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres. Learn more: unicef.link/4klPVdc

This January 2025 article correctly predicted that Grok’s racist perspective would only increase. X (formerly Twitter) has now officially crossed the line and become a white, nationalist, supremacist platform. Anyone now actively using X is financially supporting this. #StopRacism

In #Gaza, "Starvation is spreading. People are exhausted. People are hungry," UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini tells Jeremy Bowen on BBC News. Gaza has become a killing field. Civilians are in an endless death loop. The siege must be lifted and a #CeasefireNow must resume.

"There is absolutely no doubt that we are talking about massive atrocities” says UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini to BBC on #Gaza. "Genocide?" asks the BBC. "It could end up to genocide" he replies. It has been over 19 months of war, including more than 2 months of siege #CeasefireNow

This is not normal. This is the definition of a dangerous megalomaniac. What are you doing members of Congress? Where are you?

Blocking aid starves civilians. It leaves them without basic medical support. It strips them of dignity and hope. It inflicts a cruel collective punishment. Blocking aid kills.

Nearly 300 UNRWA staff have been killed in Gaza. #Gaza has become one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a humanitarian. Humanitarian workers must be protected. They are #NotATarget.
