1000s of people stranded in northern Mexico by US policies are living in makeshift camps in tents made of tree branches, blankets, tarps, and garbage bags – and the situation is poised to get worse. My latest for @newhumanitarian from the US-Mexico border: thenewhumanitarian.org/news-feature/2…

For a few days, a patchwork system to get food into northern Gaza was working. Then, the Israeli military began what appear to be a series of targeted strikes on people helping with the aid. ➡️ This @newhumanitarian investigation pieces it together: thenewhumanitarian.org/investigations…

A must-read to understand how emergency aid for starving people in northern Gaza became impossible. Killings, gangs, and lawless looting didn't happen by accident. This @newhumanitarian investigation shows how Israeli forces systematically destroyed aid. thenewhumanitarian.org/investigations…

Our @newhumanitarian investigation exposes how Israel targeted aid and starved Gaza. We spent 7 mths piecing together how UN developed this plan with communities in northern Gaza & how Israel destroyed it. Please read and distribute widely. thenewhumanitarian.org/investigations…

"More people will die" The impact of the Israeli ban of @UNRWA on people in Gaza and Beyond by @Eric_Reidy in @newhumanitarian thenewhumanitarian.org/interview/2024…

The crises in #Sudan and #Gaza have made it abundantly clear that the current systems of global humanitarianism are failing. Last September at #UNGA79, we joined the @newhumanitarian + @cftchange to challenge these failings head on. More from @Eric_Reidy. thenewhumanitarian.org/feature/2024/1…

“If Israel wanted every child in Gaza to have breakfast tomorrow morning, it would do it. I think we just have to ask, why is it not doing it?” Alex de Waal on a panel during last month's UN high-level week via @Eric_Reidy @newhumanitarian: thenewhumanitarian.org/feature/2024/1…

Read this powerful first-person story by Rita Baroud, a 21-year-old journalist from Gaza City, Palestine for The New Humanitarian. It reads like Cormac McCarthy's post-apocalyptic novel "The Road" – except it's real life. thenewhumanitarian.org/opinion/first-…

How Israel's invasion of #Rafah practically collapsed the aid response in #Gaza. Must read by @newhumanitarian on how the Gaza aid response was "shot through the knees" w/ comments from myself and other aid officials. #CeasefireNOW

The Pentagon just officially announced that its Gaza aid pier has been permanently shut down. Here's my analysis for @newhumanitarian of why the ill-conceived project, which cost $230m and delivered only one day's worth of aid, was doomed from the start: thenewhumanitarian.org/analysis/2024/…

"It was a boondoggle from start to finish." @JeremyKonyndyk Billed as an effort to drastically increase the amount of aid entering the enclave, the #Gaza pier project was mired in controversy from the onset. Read more from @Eric_Reidy @newhumanitarian thenewhumanitarian.org/analysis/2024/…

The US is shutting down it's Gaza aid pier. The project was a distraction that did not address the real issues preventing a meaningful humanitarian response – the conduct of the Israeli military and its siege of Gaza. My latest for @newhumanitarian thenewhumanitarian.org/analysis/2024/…

If overwhelming evidence isn’t enough to move the needle, what else is needed to force Greece to end this cycle of border violations?- I wrote an article about this for @thenewhumanitarian edited by @Eric_Reidy thenewhumanitarian.org/opinion/first-…

I spoke to Sam Rose of @UNRWA about the situation on the ground in Rafah and how Israel's escalating attacks on the city are affecting civilians and the ability of humanitarian organizations to continue their already hobbled aid response

EXCLUSIVE: Israeli military demolished homes to make way for US Gaza aid pier. The destruction of civilian property to make way for a politically and logistically contentious aid delivery project could violate international law: ⬇️ thenewhumanitarian.org/news-feature/2…

This is a great podcast episode from @newhumanitarian. @Eric_Reidy with a pessimistic outlook on migration & borders developments this year 2024. But he also points to ways out of the political misery. 🎧 👇
