Speaking at the #OurOceanGreece about fisheries #sustainability : a global challenge that needs strong partnerships.

Which is why, as part of the €3.5 bn we pledged for ocean protection, almost €2 bn will help support sustainable #fisheries & #aquaculture in the Mediterranean.

#Gaza : 'More than 12,000 children have been wounded amid tense & often indiscriminate attacks, which is about 70 children/day.

Urgent medical cases in Gaza must be able to safely access critical medical services or be allowed to leave. This is essential.' - Tess Ingram, UNICEF

Today in #Athens at Our Ocean Greece, Alicia Bugeja Said highlighted that the upcoming #GFCM Regional Aquaculture Conference in 🇬🇷 is an opportunity to reaffirm the commitment to develop #sustainableaquaculture & discuss future actions to enhance its contribution to #foodsecurity

إنا لله وإنَّا إليه راجعون.
تعازينا الحارة لأشقائنا في سلطنة #عُمان

An subdued #EidAlFitr2024 this year for sure, but no one can now hide behind the haze of moral superlatives.
Below the video of the Eid prayer in Jabalia, Gaza

Every year, I express my best wishes for #EidAlFitr to the Muslim community around the world.

My heart is broken knowing that in Gaza, Sudan and many other places - because of conflict and hunger - so many Muslims will not be able to celebrate properly.

Terrific news! Food and Agriculture Organization will do everything possible to deliver the necessary support and agricultural inputs to produce food.

Gaza is on the brink of famine. Food and Agriculture Organization’s delivery of animal fodder is crucial to safeguard remaining livestock and provide nutritious food, especially for children. Peace is a prerequisite for #FoodSecurity , and #RightToFoodis a basic human right.

The General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean is working with the Government of Greece 🇬🇷 to organize an international conference on the challenges & opportunities of developing the #aquaculture sector in Mediterranean countries & the Black Sea.

'The Security Council just approved a long-awaited resolution on Gaza, demanding an immediate ceasefire, and the immediate & unconditional release of all hostages.

This resolution must be implemented. Failure would be unforgivable.'
