På onsdagen slog ICJ fast att länder som misslyckas med sina klimatåtgärder riskerar juridiska konsekvenser. Domstolens ordförande Yuji Iwasawa konstaterar också att en ”ren och hållbar miljö” är en mänsklig rättighet.

Three years on from the 7 October attacks, we remember those killed and call on Israel and Hamas to fully implement the ceasefire.

One reason Israel wanted UNRWA out of Gaza is to get rid of witnesses to genocide: "With 13,000 staff in Gaza, we were extremely well placed to describe the daily life and suffering of Gazans....The foreign press is still barred from entering Gaza." trib.al/olJtfRS

The Prime Minister should call Israel's campaign of destruction in Gaza what it really is: a genocide.

If she was Jewish, and this is the ONLY difference, if she was Jewish - it would be THE HEADLINE at the @NYTimes and @CNN and @BBC.
But because she is a Muslim from Gaza, it literally doesn't even get mentioned.
Like, nowhere.

80% of doctors now work for private equity and corporate entities.
Doctors should be focused on their patients, not quotas set by investors who know nothing about medicine.
I’ve got a bill to push back against the corporate takeover of medicine.

Brilliant decision!
The next meeting of the state parties to the ICC will be held in The Hague and NOT in New York!
Primary reason: limitations on participation in New York, such as elected officials of the Court subject to United States sanctions, as well as visa restrictions affecting some delegations and representatives of non-governmental organizations.
The decision to relocate the Assembly session was taken following consultations with all States Parties.

A look back at the ACT-PREP Project Launch. 🎥
From the conversations in the room to the unveiling of a shared ambition: building Africa’s capacity to conduct research, prepare for and respond to epidemics.
The journey starts here.

Google har uppdaterat kartan över Gaza. Över hälften av byggnaderna är helt förstörda, enligt FN. Men recensionerna finns kvar, liksom bilderna från restauranger som blivit ruiner.
”Man kan skrolla genom en hel värld som Israel har förstört.”

Whaohhh.. I certainly was not expecting anything like this from a UK political leader. Now we need actions and more actions. The UK (and the rest of Europe) must take all resolute actions to end the global political economy of repression: Israel could not pursue its genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing and annexation without international economic support and complicity. This must stop.
Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband: 'I want to say to the millions of people in this country and indeed elsewhere, who have been moved and outraged by the plight of the Palestinian people. We hear you. You were right'

The world is facing a perfect storm of hunger while humanitarian funding is declining.

Show this to anybody who still denies the genocide.
These were all people's homes. Completely and totally destroyed.
These images should haunt those who enabled Israel's crimes against humanity - and we will never give up until there is justice for the Palestinian people.

Look at the unprecedented level of destruction the world has allowed Apartheid-Israel to get away with in Gaza.
Know that the killing machine in that devastated ghetto is still running full throttle.
What a shame.

I also proposed attention to 4Ps for successful epidemic research- People protocols products and Pennies
#ACTPREPLaunch @Makerere
Prof. Bruce Kilenga, Principal of @MakerereCHS cautioned that Traditional research funding cycles are poorly suited to epidemics. "By the time calls are issued, proposals reviewed and funds released, an outbreak may already be well underway."
He called for pre-positioned funding that researchers can rapidly access during emergencies.
He also cautioned cautioned about the slow process of protocol approvals.
"Rather than multiple institutions developing separate protocols to answer similar questions, the panel called for a consortium approach that brings together complementary expertise in clinical studies, modelling, ecological and social research."

Trump said: “There is very little happening right now in Gaza.”
REALLY?
Gaza’s Health Ministry reports that another SEVEN Palestinians have been killed in the past 48 hours by Israeli forces.

Ahead of #UNGA81, I spent 8 days across Sudan. Conflict and climate are driving hunger faster than the response can keep up.
I'm bringing these stories to NY this week, to urge leaders to keep food security at the center of conversations. Waiting for famine is a failure of duty.
