During the darkest hours of our presence in #Gaza we never envisaged a scenario where 2 million civilians could possibly live through heavy bombing, deprived of water, food, electricity & medicines. All measures to avoid such a situation should be taken immediately.

The review of the EU's assistance for Palestine announced by the European Commission will not suspend the due payments, as clarified by the Commission’s press release.

I recognize the legitimate grievances of the Palestinian people. But nothing can justify acts of terror & the killing, maiming & abduction of civilians. I reiterate my call to immediately cease these attacks & release all hostages.

Well deserved Dr Patricia M Lewis - warmest congratulations! Maith thu fein!

We are in shock and mourning. It is now confirmed that 29 of our colleagues in📍#Gaza have been killed since October 7. Half of these colleagues were @unrwa teachers. As an Agency, we are devastated. We are grieving with each other and with the families.

Today I am at Torkham, on the Afghan border with Pakistan, where 10s of thousands of Afghans have gathered, having been expelled from Pakistan. >2,000 families have crossed here in the past 24 hours. We’re seeing perhaps the largest forced expulsion in the world since the 1950s.
