About the Platform

The platform "Documenting the Targeting and Destruction of the Health Sector in the Gaza Strip" presents accurate and detailed information about the Israeli assault on health during the genocidal war. This includes data on the attacks on healthcare facilities and health workers who have been killed, abducted, tortured, and maimed by Israeli forces during the genocide, and relevant statements by international organizations and healthcare institutions. These are complemented by original analysis by researchers and authors covering a range of issues in the targeting of the health sector, through which Israeli occupation forces have created a "war biosphere". Read more

Cairo

Assistant Secretary-General of the League of Arab States,

Excellencies,

As we mark the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, it is a great honor to accept this award in recognition of UNRWA’s services to Palestine Refugees.

This award belongs to my remarkable colleagues, especially those doing lifesaving work amid a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza; escalating violence in the occupied West Bank; and an uneasy truce in Lebanon.

Excellencies,

Ladies and gentlemen,

As we gather in Cairo today, Palestinians in Gaza are trapped in a dystopian nightmare.

More than 44,000 people are reported killed – 70 percent are women and children.

Thousands more lie unaccounted for under the rubble.

The State of Israel continues disinformation campaign against UNRWA

AMMAN

Using commercial advertisement including billboards in several cities around the world and paid Google ads on multiple websites, the Government of Israel has stepped up its disinformation campaign against UNRWA.  

These ads are the latest in a series of a wider campaign against UNRWA by the Government of Israel, which continues to publicly call for dismantling the Agency.

Excellencies,

Ladies and gentlemen,

We are meeting in the shadow of the dystopian horror that is Gaza for a discussion that could not be more timely.  

The rules-based international order that has been in place since the end of the Second World War is fracturing. 

The Geneva Conventions, adopted 75 years ago to protect civilians and non-combatants during conflict, are increasingly challenged and at risk of becoming irrelevant.
