“A significant proportion of manifested trucks are turned away with vital supplies. The world needs to know... This has to stop.” Mary Robinson and @HelenClarkNZ witness the devastating reality at the closed Rafah border with Gaza.

Here’s what Pacific people saying about today’s historic advisory opinion delivered by the @CIJ_ICJ and the impact it has on their climate justice work in the region and beyond.

PRESS RELEASE: The #ICJ will deliver its Advisory Opinion on the Obligations of States in respect of Climate Change on 23 July 2025 at 3 p.m. (The Hague). Watch live on @UNWebTV. Link to the press release: go.icj-cij.org/3TYEeOt

Josevata is a former @fijirugby national player. His daughter is an aged care worker on the PALM scheme. Her training and remittances have built him a new home and improved his quality of life. @FBC_News @fijitimes @FijiSUNews m.youtube.com/watch?v=zN50MN…

Superb speech by Albo. The pity is neither side thinks the electorate is sufficiently mature to hear stuff like this in a campaign. They’re too risk averse. He may grow more into the job now.

@glencraig Don’t stop the carnival

Port Vila this week. Whilst the CBD remains closed, life goes on and the rest of the islands are waiting for your visit. Your holiday helps - please support Vanuatu and come back to explore this beautiful country. #vanuatu #earthquake #tourism

@AusHCVanuatu A big thank you to your staff member Victoria who helped a young woman traveling on her own at the airport when the quake struck. She went above and beyond.

We understand this is a challenging time and that connectivity remains difficult following the tragic events in Vanuatu. Our team is working hard, together with the Government of Vanuatu, to help get Australians home as a priority. [1/4]

Today’s earthquake has impacted the Australian High Commission’s communication systems. For 24-hour emergency consular assistance, call +61 6261 3305 from overseas or 1300 555 135 in Australia. We are working closely with the Vanuatu Government on an assistance operation.

Call for help from Vanuatu resident after quake, reports of buildings down, damage to US Embassy and more #Vanuatu #earthquake facebook.com/share/v/15SZSE…

I’d love to be corrected, how is a horse who earns its owners more than $7m in 25 races, forced to have nine foals ‘in retirement’ be anything more than a money making machine? This smacks of absolute greed to me. The poor beautiful thing. Shame on them. #BlackCaviar

@Sasbites Not wrong at all.

I don’t want to start a ~ Pacific war ~ but I just finished my first trip to Samoa 🇼🇸. Am I wrong in saying they have the most beautiful and well-maintained villages in the Pacific? Stunning. ABC Samoa reporter Adel Fruean and I visited the ‘most beautiful’ (story coming soon)

@glencraig @Melair 100%.

So sick of arriving at Melbourne airport to find taxi drivers screaming at each other and others. It’s intimidating enough with poor lighting to be standing outside at 11pm without this shitshow. @Melair

A @CIJ_ICJ advisory opinion on #ClimateChange must reflect the urgency of UN resolution 77/276, clarifying states’ obligations towards frontline nations and present and future generations. We urge all states to respond to written submissions by 24 June 2024. #ICJAO4Climate

The scramble is on. Communities have come together to march against instability. Our Head of State is pondering the Council of Ministers decision to dissolve Parliament. Opposition numbers claim the absolute majority to change PM. Parents are skipping meals so children can eat.

@glencraig And you’d think there would be other priorities in Vanuatu at the moment.

@glencraig Corruption at its worst.

This is from the CEO of @AirLeaseCorp He ‘kind of feels guilty’ charging a 3rd world country such huge fees when he sees kids with no shoes. Really? Kind of? #aviation #vanuatu #greed #pacificstepupwhere skift.com/2023/11/01/don…

Our @NDMO_Vanuatu is predicting 100% damage to gardens in the cyclone path. That is a health emergency in waiting. Crops have been suffering from El Nino and now, what little crops still surviving, we expect to be damaged. Rice and tuna can't be the only response. So we wait 🇻🇺💪🏾
