Recognizing Palestine would be nice. But it does NOTHING to end the genocide. Every country must stop all economic contact with Israel. Israel must be made a pariah in the international community. PEOPLE ARE STARVING. Speeches are MEANINGLESS. End the genocide NOW.

UNHCR is operational and committed to stay and deliver in the region and preparing emergency relief supplies. With Iran already hosting 3.5M refugees, further escalation risks overwhelming fragile support systems.
