We haven't been able to bring any supplies into Gaza, Palestine, since 1 January 2026, because Israeli authorities are blocking aid. Read from our medical adviser in Gaza about how this is affecting operations in our hospitals and clinics: msf.org/gaza-israeli-e…

Today, UNIFIL paid tribute to the life and work of Major Zulmi Aditya Iskandar, First Sergeant Muhammad Nur Ichwan, and Corporal Farizal Rhomadon from Indonesia, who lost their lives in two incidents on March 29 and 30 while bravely carrying out their duties in south Lebanon.

Children continue to be killed or injured in the Middle East. According to @‌UNICEF: In #Lebanon, since the conflict escalated last month, 124 children have been killed and 413 injured In #Gaza, at least 64,000 children have reportedly been killed or maimed during two years of war, and they have continued to be killed despite the fragile ceasefire All children must always be protected.

.@unhumanrights chief @volker_turk urges Israel to repeal law passed by its parliament reinstating the death penalty, in terms applicable almost exclusively to Palestinians. “The death penalty is profoundly difficult to reconcile with human dignity.” ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

On 29-30 March, 3 peacekeepers from Indonesia serving with @UNIFIL_ were killed while others were injured. Peacekeepers are #NotATarget, and attacks on peacekeepers may constitute war crimes. The @UN urges all actors to ensure the safety & security of peacekeepers at all times.

Israel now has one of the world’s most extreme death penalty laws. Israel is brazenly granting itself free rein to execute Palestinians while stripping away the most basic fair-trial safeguards. The death penalty will now become part of the system of apartheid, genocide and occupation that Palestinians continue to suffer under. This law has passed in the same month in which Israeli military attorney general dropped all charges against Israeli soldiers accused of sexually assaulting a Palestinian detainee.

Despite few amendments to the previous drafts, any death sentences imposed under this law would constitute a violation of the right to life and, when imposed against Palestinians from the OPT, may also amount to war crimes. The international community must exert maximum pressure on the Israeli authorities to immediately repeal this law, fully abolish the death penalty, and dismantle all laws and practices that contribute to the system of apartheid against Palestinians.

Our medics were not missing… they were buried. Buried beneath a silence heavier than words, and beneath pain beyond endurance. The survivor, Asaad Al-Nassasra, speaks—his voice bearing witness to loss; to companions who left with him on a humanitarian mission, but he returned alone… leaving them under the soil without a farewell. And on March 30, 2025, the truth emerged as it is: bodies concealed, souls departed, and a wound that will never close. They were deliberately killed by Israeli occupation forces. This is not a story of survival… but a testimony to a tragedy that will remain.

Israel must immediately repeal the discriminatory death penalty law passed today by the Knesset, as it contravenes Israel’s obligations under international law. The United Nations opposes the death penalty under all circumstances. The implementation of this new law would violate international law's prohibition of cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment. Additionally, this law further entrenches Israel’s violation of the prohibition of racial segregation and apartheid as it will exclusively apply to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Israel, who are often convicted after unfair trials.

Israel's expanding military operations in southern Lebanon have resulted in the death of yet another health worker today. A paramedic was killed in a strike on an ambulance in Bint Jbeil. Additionally, a medical warehouse in the same city was destroyed in an attack. Prior to today's strikes, @WHO has verified that 51 Lebanese health workers have been killed since 2 March, including nine paramedics just yesterday. Attacks on health facilities must cease immediately. This cannot become the norm. Health workers are safeguarded under international humanitarian law and should not be targeted. Peace is the best medicine.

It’s been 456 days since Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, was arbitrarily detained by Israeli forces. He’s been held without charge or trial, and has been subjected to ill-treatment. Israeli authorities must immediately and unconditionally release him and all Palestinians held in arbitrary detention. Take action: bit.ly/4lWgfgd #FreeDrHussamAbuSafiya ✊

Sadly, a total of 58 PRCS staff and volunteers have been killed in this war. For more than three years, the international community has failed to take tangible steps or constructive measures toward accountability.

Israel is using similar tactics and messaging in its attacks on healthcare facilities in Lebanon to those it used in Gaza, human rights experts warn bmj.com/content/392/bm…

Our latest on the situation in 📍#Gaza and #WestBank: 🔹@OHCHR_Palestine warns that Palestinians in Gaza are still living in conditions of precarity and dehumanisation, five months since the fragile ceasefire began. 🔹 Only limited numbers of trucks are entering the Gaza Strip, with the consequent scarcity of goods triggering further increases in prices and leading to shortage in medicines and spare parts needed to maintain essential operations. 🔹 Airstrikes, shelling, and gunfire continued across the Gaza Strip, causing civilian casualties.

Mostafa Khufaga, Saleh Muamer, Ezzedine Shaath, Mohammad Bahloul, Mohammad Al Heila, Ashraf Abu Labda, Read Al Sharif and Rifat Radwan were deliberately killed by Israeli occupation while on duty in their clearly marked ambulances with flashing emergency lights on. #IHL

#Israel: UN experts demand release of Dr Abu Safiya after reports of severe torture – must ensure access to medical examination and treatment. Violence against healthcare workers and destruction of health facilities must end. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

Violence remains at record levels across the occupied #WestBank. As recently highlighted by @UNHumanRights, settler violence, often in the presence of Israeli forces, has escalated, driving repeated attacks, intimidation, property damage and forcible displacement of Palestinians. This must stop.

"One year has passed since eight of our Palestine Red Crescent teams in Gaza were killed while saving lives. A full year without accountability. We continue to demand justice for our colleagues.

best way to end the weekend!!!
