Evacuation warnings issued by the Israeli military to residents of the southern suburbs of Beirut and south Lebanon were inadequate, and in some cases also misleading, said Amnesty International today.
Under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Amir of the State of Qatar, the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD) has sent 35 tonnes of urgent humanitarian aid to support the brotherly Lebanese people.
The present report of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People has been submitted pursuant to General Assembly resolution 77/22, adopted on 30 November 2022. It covers the implementation by the Committee of its programme of work (A/AC.183/2023/1), formulated to promote the realization of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to selfdetermination.
The ensuing military attack by Israel on Gaza has killed approximately 42,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including 17,000 children injured more than 97,000, many with lifelong injuries, as of 6 October 2024, and displaced nearly 2 million.
Since October 8 there has been an increase in cross-border incidents between Israel and Lebanon, resulting in the displacement of people both within the South and elsewhere within the country.
Since October 2023, over 10,200 attacks have occurred along the Blue Line, resulting in substantial casualties. More than one million people have been directly affected and/or displaced across Lebanon, with nearly 160,000 in over 850 collective shelters, often in public facilities like schools and agricultural centers.
Israeli airstrikes on the main border crossing between Lebanon and Syria on October 4, 2024, are impeding civilians trying to flee and disrupting humanitarian operations, Human Rights Watch said today. The situation places civilians at grave risk.
One year has passed and not a day goes by without families in Gaza being subjected to unspeakable suffering, as forced displacement, disease, hunger, and death have become the daily norm for 2 million people trapped in a bombed- out and besieged enclave.
These blogs will provide analysis on what feminist alternatives are there and unpack the root causes of violence through a feminist lens including: how settler colonialism, patriarchy and militarism intersect, analysing their impact on women, racialised groups, social structures, environment, and the broader political economy in Palestine.
A year of war in Gaza has destroyed the lives of Palestinians in the Strip, who have faced not only direct violence but constant displacement and dire medical and humanitarian needs.
This past year has seen unimaginable suffering in the Middle East. The ongoing violence since 7 October 2023 has led to a devastating humanitarian crisis that reaches far beyond the region. The YMCA unequivocally denounces all forms of violence and calls for an immediate end to the loss of life. We urge for a collective commitment to peace through dialogue and negotiation.
Since the escalation of the hostilities in Lebanon, approximately 220,000 people are believed to have crossed the border to Syria through both official and unofficial border crossing points.
In this report, Doctors of the World presents a detailed account of events and data covering the period from October 2023 to September 2024, demonstrating how Doctors of the World’s medical response is being impeded in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
We, the members of the Alliance for Empowering Partnership (A4EP), a collective voice of global Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and advocates of localization of humanitarian actions, stand in collective solidarity with the people of Lebanon as they face an escalating humanitarian crisis resulting from the war that has raged since 2023. This prolonged violence has inflicted profound suffering on innocent civilians, exacerbated by the international community’s alarming silence and inaction.
نحن، أعضاء "التحالف من أجل تمكين الشراكة" (A4EP) الذي يجمع عددًا من منظّمات المجتمع المدني من جميع أنحاء العالم والجهات الداعية إلى تعزيز الأعمال الإنسانية على المستوى المحلّي، نُعلِن عن تضامننا مع شعب لبنان الذي يُواجِه أزمة إنسانية متصاعدة جرّاء الحرب التي اندلعت منذ عام ٢٠٢٣. يفرض هذا العنف المُطوَّل معاناةً شديدة على المدنيين الأبرياء في ظلِّ صمتٍ وتقاعُسٍ مُريب من المجتمع الدولي.
مضى عامٌ كاملٌ تقريبًا منذ بدء الحرب على لبنان في ظلّ صمت تامّ من المجتمع الدولي.
