The situation in Gaza is a total failure of our shared humanity

Countries supporting Israel with arms must understand that these civilian deaths will be a permanent stain on their reputation.
They must demand an immediate ceasefire in Israel & Gaza

OCHA’s Edem Wosornu says the UN’s 2023 aid plan for Syria is only 33 percent funded—and it’s now winter and 2023 is almost over. She notes that months of pleading with donors made no difference, and lists some of the results (see below). More cuts to come. reliefweb.int/report/syrian-…

The border crossing diplomacy takes place alongside a dangerous overall decline in funding for Syria’s humanitarian crisis, despite increasing needs. WFP already stopped food aid to 2.5m people and has warned of more cuts this winter: syria-report.com/damascus-renew… @thesyriareport

Israel and Hamas have agreed on a four-day pause in fighting and the release of 50 Israeli hostages. Europeans need to use this space to push hard for an extended ceasefire and a wider diplomatic track, argue Julien Barnes-Dacey and Hugh Lovatt 👇
