Just spoke on Virgin Media News about the harrowing reality faced by the people of Gaza, deprived of basic necessities like food and clean water. The situation is dire, with famine imminent, and immense challenges lie ahead even with a ceasefire. Watch the clip below:
We do not accept the narrative of ‘regrettable incidents'.
We do not accept it, because what has happened to MSF International’s convoys and shelters, is part of a deliberate pattern of attacks on humanitarians, health workers, journalists, United Nations personnel, schools, and homes.
Al Jazeera English
7 aid workers killed in Gaza by Israeli airstrike.
We stand with our friends World Central Kitchen as they mourn the horrific loss of their colleagues.
Aid workers must NEVER be a target.
196 aid workers had been killed in Gaza since October Aid Worker Security Database.
That number now rises over 200.
A great piece in today’s Irish Independent on the latest #Worldview survey results which will be launched later today! Stay tuned for more updates throughout the day: independent.ie/irish-news/mor…
Thank you to the Financial Times for highlighting the world’s largest humanitarian crisis.
For which the United Nations appeal has raised 3.5% of its target.
That’s not a typo: 3.5%
It’s Sudan.
