Told @stephensackur @BBCHARDTALK there are deliberate attempts to dismantle @UNRWA that have nothing to do with neutrality. These attempts aim at striping the Palestinians of their refugee status & at undermining the aspirations of the Palestinians for self determination.

People in #Gaza are asked repeatedly to move and bombarded repeatedly in areas that are supposed to be safe. Today's deadly airstrikes in Khan Younis demonstrate once again the urgent need for a ceasefire. No vaccine nor medicine can help if people are being killed and forced

Shocking. @UNRWA headquarters in #Gaza, turned into a battlefield & now flattened 👇 Another episode in the blatant disregard of international humanitarian law. United Nations facilities must be protected at all times. They must never be used for military or fighting

“I will continue, I will stay here at this place and as long as I am alive, I will serve my patients and people.” Israeli forces held this Palestinian doctor captive for over 200 days. He says he suffered prolonged torture and lost 37 kg (80 lb) in six months.

Thank you for sharing @danbru8! Darwish's poem feels like both an ominous warning of accelerating climate crises and a testimony of the indescribable atrocities and violence perpetrated against Palestinians. A reminder of how deeply interconnected these issues are.

While we savor our summer, #Israel continues to displace, starve, torture, and murder Palestinians with unabated US support and EU nations turning a blind eye. This is a shameful and entirely man-made legal, political, and humanitarian catastrophe. #CeasefireNOW
