🌍 Statement from Julie McKinlay, Director, Humanitarian, Resilience & Advocacy, CARE Canada: “The Knesset’s vote on Monday to ban UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees) from operating in areas under Israel’s control will have tragic consequences on a massive scale. The UN has already declared that Palestinians in the north of #Gaza is now at risk of death. This risk will increase dramatically if the UNRWA ban goes into effect." No other agencies can replace UNRWA's vital role in #Gaza. This ban is indefensible and will make it even more difficult to deliver desperately needed aid. We urge world leaders to do all they can to reverse this devastating decision, ensuring humanitarian access and securing a #CeasefireNOW. Lives depend on it.

MMOB + seriously reflecting on my advocacy for Syrian refugees years ago ~ for their full settlement and integration into the societies they were forced to relocate to at the onset of the Syrian crisis! Germany etal; while having all Syrian expatriates/professionals relocating back to Syria might not be advisable &/ even feasible; I believe that we can work a win-win solution to this "return back to Syria call". I believe that Germany etal can partner with the new Syrian government to rebuild Syrian infrastructures (including educational & health infrastructures) and also facilitate regular outreaches by Syrian professionals to Syria going forward to enable them contribute their quotas to the rebuilding of their country while still benefiting their host countries/communities maximally. #GbolahanOlubowaleMSW #RebuildingBackBetter. #Road2UNSG or #Road2NuclearWWIII https://lnkd.in/gkqjbCQm

The war in Sudan is a complex and longstanding conflict that has resulted in widespread violence, displacement, and humanitarian crises. The conflict can be traced back to various factors, including ethnic tensions, political power struggles, and competition over resources. One of the key aspects of the conflict is the ongoing violence between the Sudanese government forces and various rebel groups in different regions of the country, such as #Darfur, South Kordofan, and Blue Nile. #This violence has led to the displacement of millions of people, with many fleeing to refugee camps or neighboring countries. The conflict has also been marked by human rights abuses, including allegations of #genocide, #war_crimes, and #crimes against humanity. #Civilians have been targeted, and there have been reports of widespread #sexual_violence and other atrocities. Efforts to resolve the conflict have been challenging, with various peace agreements being signed and broken over the years. International organizations and peacekeeping missions have been involved in trying to bring #stability to the region, but the situation remains fragile. The humanitarian situation in Sudan is dire, with millions of people in need of assistance, including food, shelter, and medical care. Access to basic services is limited in many areas, and the ongoing violence makes it difficult for #aid organizations to reach those in need. In summary, the war in Sudan is a complex and devastating conflict that has had a profound impact on the lives of millions of people. Efforts to bring peace and stability to the region are ongoing, but much more needs to be done to address the root causes of the conflict and provide support to those affected.

Let's take a moment to stay informed about critical situations in some of the world's most affected regions. 🌎 As global citizens, we cannot remain silent. Now more than ever, it's essential to use our voices and platforms to advocate for those who cannot. Gaza: The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is heartbreaking. The conflict has left millions displaced and in dire need of basic necessities like healthcare, clean water, and shelter. The international community must push harder for a ceasefire and long-term peace solutions. It's time to speak out against the injustices and demand urgent humanitarian aid. Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC): The DRC has been plagued by decades of conflict, resulting in severe human rights violations and massive displacement. Public health crises, including Ebola outbreaks, further exacerbate the situation. We must amplify the voices of those suffering and support organizations working to bring stability and health to the region. Yemen: Yemen's humanitarian crisis is among the worst in the world. Famine, disease, and ongoing conflict have devastated the population, with over 80% in need of aid. This crisis demands our attention and action. We must urge our leaders to prioritize humanitarian assistance and peace negotiations. Syria: After years of civil war, Syria remains in a state of severe humanitarian distress. The massive displacement and ongoing violence cannot be ignored. Let's use our platforms to advocate for refugees and support efforts to bring peace and rebuild the nation. Myanmar: The political turmoil in Myanmar following the military coup has led to widespread violence and human rights abuses. It's crucial to stand with the people of Myanmar, calling for the restoration of democracy and protection of human rights. We cannot turn a blind eye to these atrocities. Let's not just be passive observers. We have the power to make a difference by raising awareness, supporting humanitarian efforts, and urging our leaders to take action. Use your voice. Use your platform. Stand in solidarity with those who need it most. #GlobalIssues #SpeakOut #AdvocateForChange #Gaza #DRC #Yemen #Syria #Myanmar #HumanRights

This is UNRWA🩸 Another Friday morning, 441 Days of war and 100 Hostages are still in GAZA for 4️⃣4️⃣1️⃣ Days‼️ Watching the news and not believing that this is the world I’m living in 🤯 For those of you that haven’t heard about UNRWA, The Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. UNRWA was established in 1949 to provide assistance, protection, and humanitarian services to Palestinian refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip,Its services include: • Education • Healthcare • Social services • Infrastructure improvement • Emergency relief during crises On October 7 ,those same ”UNRWA HUMANITARIAN ” are the ones who actively participated in the Horrific massacre and kidnapping of hundreds Israelis 🩸🩸🩸 Apparently the same Teachers/ social workers and what not ,were also #HAMAS terrorists and cold blooded killers ‼️ And now when 🇮🇱 is actively acting to pass The UNRWA Termination Act, 2024 A law that stipulates that: “No state authority, including bodies or individuals performing public functions under the law, shall engage in any contact with UNRWA or its representatives.” The UN General Assembly 🇺🇳 with Antisemitic Norway 🇳🇴 leading the way, has overwhelmingly adopted a resolution against Israel , requesting an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague regarding Israeli legislation targeting UNRWA. Once again you can see that the sole focus is attacking Israel and undermining its right to defend its citizens. The UN continues with its terror supporting agendas and they are continuing to Be on the wrong side of the map and UNRWA is nothing but a “ WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING “‼️🩸🩸🩸 United Nations #bringthemhomenow

The humanitarian crisis in #Congo’s Goma has persisted for more than 20 years, with devastating consequences for civilians. Decades of conflict in eastern #DRC have led to one of the world’s worst and most prolonged humanitarian crises. More than 7 million people are displaced, facing constant insecurity, violence, and lack of basic services. Health facilities continue to be attacked, severely limiting access to critical care. UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency and #humanitarianorganizations are working tirelessly to provide lifesaving assistance offering shelter, medical care, and psychosocial support to those forced to flee. Gender-based violence has surged, leaving countless women and children in urgent need of protection and support. In neighboring Rwanda and Uganda, thousands of Congolese refugees continue to seek safety, escaping the worsening insecurity. With millions in urgent need of humanitarian aid in 2025, we must stand in solidarity with those affected and support organizations responding to this crisis. For over two decades, the people of Goma and eastern DRC have endured unimaginable suffering they deserve #peace, #security, and a #future free from violence. #CongoCrisis #DRC #HumanitarianCrisis #Refugees #StandWithGoma
