The U.N. development agency says the amount of rubble in Gaza would be enough to build 13 giant pyramids in Egypt or fill up all of New York's Central Park about 40 feet high with debris.

I echo @antonioguterres: famine in Gaza is a man-made disaster. The deliberate collapse of essential systems is costing lives — incl. children. Obligations under international law must be met. We urgently need a ceasefire, unimpeded humanitarian access & the release of hostages.
António Guterres@antonioguterres
Just when it seems there are no words left to describe the living hell in Gaza, a new one has been added: “famine”. This is not a mystery — it is a man-made disaster, a moral indictment and a failure of humanity itself. Famine is not only about food; it is the deliberate collapse of the systems needed for human survival. People are starving. Children are dying. And those with the duty to act are failing. As the occupying power, Israel has unequivocal obligations under international law — including the duty of ensuring food and medical supplies of the population. We cannot allow this situation to continue with impunity. No more excuses. The time for action is not tomorrow — it is now. We need an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages and full, unfettered humanitarian access.

@UNDP says invest in more renewables even if some big companies are turning their backs on commitments made. @UNDPasiapac analysis show millions in region remain in the cold&dark. This isn't only about power supply – it's about saving lives & saving the planet. Heed our call⬇️
