Nochmal: "Die Militärexperten kommen zu dem Schluss, dass ein Abfluss von Daten aus den Palantir-Systemen technisch nicht verhindert werden könne." Irgendjemand sagt zu #Palantir nicht die Wahrheit oder kennt die nicht. Ob's das Schweizer Militär ist!? 🤷 #noPalantir

Health workers, hospitals and ambulances should NEVER be targets.

Safe access to care must be protected everywhere, for everyone. Human rights are universal, and our right to health goes with us wherever we are.

It can involve an assault, intimidation, threats, or obstruction to services and patients.”

"Listen, these people are desperate, and they see a World Food Program truck coming in and they run for it."

"This doesn't have anything to do with Hamas or any kind of organized crime or anything."

"This has simply to do with the fact these people are starving to death."

The number of aid trucks being allowed to enter Gaza last week is only a "drop in the bucket" of what is actually needed to stave off potential famine in the territory, the head of the U.N. World Food Program said on "Face The Nation." https://cbsn.ws/45pXjA5
Aid trucks going into Gaza are a "drop in the bucket as to what's needed," WFP director says
Israel blocked the import of all food, medicine and fuel into Gaza for 2 ½ months before allowing a small number of aid trucks to enter in the last few days.

Israeli forces have killed or injured 1000 children - IN A WEEK. [Source: UN]

1000. All children. In one week.

Rarely has a war crime of this gravity been met with such international acceptance and inaction. Historically shameful.

Der PRCS beschuldigt israelische Soldaten, absichtlich 15 Rettungskräfte im Gazastreifen getötet zu haben, was als Kriegsverbrechen gilt. Ein Video widerlegt die israelische Darstellung des Vorfalls. Internationale Untersuchungen werden gefordert.
Ruf nach internationaler Prüfung in Gaza
Der Palästinensische Rote Halbmond (PRCS) hat am Montag eine unabhängige, internationale Untersuchungskommission im Fall der getöteten Rettungskräfte in Gaza gefordert. Israels Armee prüft den Vorfall. Die Armee hatte am Wochenende – nach Bekanntwerden eines Videos – eingeräumt, dass die eigene ursprüngliche Darstellung der Ereignisse teils fehlerhaft war.

For over a month, no commercial or humanitarian supplies have entered Gaza. More than 2.1 million people are trapped, bombed and starved again, while, at crossing points, food, medicine, fuel and shelter supplies are piling up, and vital equipment is stuck. Over 1,000 children have reportedly been killed or injured in just the first week after the breakdown of the ceasefire, the highest one-week death toll among children in Gaza in the past year. Just a few days ago, the 25 bakeries supported by the World Food Programme during the ceasefire had to close due to flour and cooking gas shortages. The partially functional health system is overwhelmed. Essential medical and trauma supplies are rapidly running out, threatening to reverse hard-won progress in keeping the health system operational. The latest ceasefire allowed us to achieve in 60 days what bombs, obstruction and lootings prevented us from doing in 470 days of war: life-saving supplies reaching nearly every part of Gaza. While this offered a short respite, assertions that there is now enough food to feed all Palestinians in Gaza are far from the reality on the ground, and commodities are running extremely low. We are witnessing acts of war in Gaza that show an utter disregard for human life. New Israeli displacement orders have forced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flee yet again, with no safe place to go. No one is safe. At least 408 humanitarian workers, including over 280 from UNRWA, have been killed since October 2023. With the tightened Israeli blockade on Gaza now in its second month, we appeal to world leaders to act – firmly, urgently and decisively – to ensure the basic principles of international humanitarian law are upheld. Protect civilians. Facilitate aid. Release hostages. Renew a ceasefire.

🙏🇺🇦 Zelensky: Russia attacked Ukraine with 170+ drones. This massive attack targeted the Dnipro, Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Khmelnytskyi regions.

Russia mocks the world’s peace efforts – dragging out the war and committing these acts of terror because it still doesn’t feel real pressure.
