Lebanon is seething with anti-Syrian anger.

Officials are accusing refugees of arming themselves for a showdown. Some Lebanese are doing just that. Anonymous threats warn Syrians to leave certain areas by tomorrow.

But it’s too easy to simply blame it all on xenophobia. 🧵

A Famine Warning 🆘

We're putting the finishing touches on a prevention plan.

That plan will mean nothing w/out better access & the resources to implement it. All parties to the conflict in #Sudan need to allow aid to flow & the🌍 needs to step up before 10's of 1000's perish

Devastated by killing of Canadian Jacob Flickinger. World Central Kitchen says Jacob & other aid workers were targeted systematically by IDF. These are war crimes. Canada must not only demand justice but must end arms sales, demand #ceasefirenow , impose sanctions.

We have seen deliberate Russian attacks on humanitarian workers in Syria. The extent to which IDF has been attacking humanitarian workers& the indifference of world leaders is beyond alarming.The Middle East on the edge of a collective carnage &everyone has power should stop it
