#WHO #DG: ''... #Gaza, where a complete #blockade since the 2nd of March has prevented all #food and #medicine from entering into Gaza.
In addition, in the past week, 75% of UN missions within Gaza have been denied or impeded.
This blockade is leaving families hungry, malnourished, without clean water, shelter, and adequate health care, and increasing the risk of disease and death.'' (...)
So. #wochenende #Schnee geschippt #Fußbodenbelag aus dem #Flur im #DG entfernt, #Baustelle aufgeräumt. Mich über die #Müllabfuhr geärgert, weil die die Biotonne nicht geleert haben.
Geduscht.
Jetzt auf der Couch lümmeln und auf die #Biathlonübertragung warten.
Später noch #Rucksack packen. Morgen gehts zu ner Geburtstagsparty in die #Sächsische_schweiz .
Ich wollte ja heute schon hin und morgen bissl wandern. Aber da sich 80 Leute angekündigt haben, die Hütte nur 40 Schlafplätze hat, wird die Übernachtung wohl eine Herausforderung. Da reicht mir eine Nacht. Ich packe #Isomatte und #Winterschlafsack ein. Wenn Platz ist und ich es finde, vielleicht noch ein Zelt

#WHO #DG’s #remarks at #Meeting of #UN Security Council on #situation of #health system in #Gaza – 6 November 2024
Source: World Health Organization, {Excerpts} (...) When I last briefed you almost exactly 12 months ago, the conflict in Gaza was just a few weeks old. Already at that time, almost 11 thousand people had been killed, and 27 thousand injured. It was hard to imagine the situation could be any worse. But 12 months later…
#WHO #DG’s #remarks at 74th session of the Regional #Committee for #Europe – 29 October 2024 {about #UNRWA #ban}
Source: World Health Organization, {Excerpts} (...) Yesterday’s vote by Israel’s Knesset banning UNRWA from operating in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory is deeply disturbing. It further degrades the already grossly under-equipped humanitarian response that is able to operate in Gaza, at a time it is needed most. It also contravenes Israel’s…

It is important that when the international #community needs an independent #assessment of the #safety and #security of a nuclear facility, we will be there. The only way in which the IAEA can validate the information is when we have an opportunity to independently assess what is happening.
