From my recent trip to #Sudan for @mercycorps - the Sudanese people need support now - famine is happening and it’s spreading - those we can reach are still hungry #eyesonsudan
Mercy Corps@mercycorps

Aid agencies are urgently working to prevent widespread famine in #Sudan, but time is running out.   It is our collective responsibility to bring an end to this crisis as the specter of starvation looms over millions of Sudanese lives.    The time to act is NOW. #EyesonSudan

ICVA | International Council of Voluntary Agencies
📢In the past week, many ICVA members and partners, including three NGO platforms that ICVA supports have issued statements on the escalating crisis and the scale of human suffering in the Middle East. @ICVAnetwork is appalled by the cascading violence that is affecting hundreds of thousands of civilians, our colleagues, and our members. We stand united in calling for an end to this violence that costs so many innocent lives. We are proud to support the efforts of our members who are working tirelessly to save lives, alleviate suffering, and uphold human dignity in Syria, Lebanon, and the Occupied Palestinian Territory. #Lebanon #humanitarian #NGO @AIDAoPt

Today’ #Sudan Ministerial meeting at #UNGA79 failed to meet the urgency or scale of the humanitarian crisis. Children are dying of malnutrition in this human-made, preventable disaster.

International support for Sudan continues falling short while famine conditions worsen & aid organizations are stymied trying to reach those in greatest need. At today’s Ministerial side event at #UNGA, we must see action, not words, to turn the tide of suffering for millions.

We cannot be clearer: #Sudan is experiencing a starvation crisis of historic proportions. We urgently call on the international community to address the immense hunger crisis within the country. #TalkAboutSudan 🔗 Read our new report: ow.ly/j1oA50TeFJC

Our teams in Sudan have spoken of the huge loss of life resulting from extreme violence - now they tell us that famine will likely eclipse that death toll. Our new report reveals how conflict has led to this suffering & starvation. shorturl.at/yLNmg #TalkAboutSudan

Hey unhinged men w/ nuclear weapons- listen to the women in your lives: Know what’s powerful? Putting your ego & power trip aside to keep people incl women and children alive- they are our future. Know what weakness is? Using bombs instead of your brains. We see you.

@tdgparker can they all just go away for at least several months to give us some peace to catch up on clean up?

This is an areal view of the loading and unloading area of the JLOTS. Here too, just like the Gazan side of Kerem Shalom pallets of aid are waiting to be picked up and distributed by the @UN aid agencies for days. We've said it before, the UN needs to scale up.

So proud to see my former org @amnesty call for #genderapartheid to be recognized as a crime in and of itself under international law. We need bolder support like this in unprecedented times for people who are discriminated against for just being who they are.
Agnes Callamard@AgnesCallamard

Latest @Amnesty policy: #Genderapartheid must be recognized as a crime under international law in order to strengthen efforts to combat institutionalized regimes of systematic oppression and domination imposed on the grounds of gender. I am proud to announce that following months of in-depth consultation, the @amnesty global movement has decided to join the calls of courageous trailblazers, including women of Afghanistan, Iran and beyond, who have led the way in demanding recognition of gender apartheid in international law. The international community has failed to adequately recognize, acknowledge and address the institutionalized and systematic domination and oppression of women, girls and LGBTI people. Generations upon generations of women and girls, the world over, have been subjected to institutionalized and systematic violence, domination and oppression. Incalculable numbers have been killed, with many more denied dignity, freedom and equality in their daily lives. It is truly shameful that the world has failed both to recognize systematic oppression and domination on the basis of gender as a crime under international law and failed to respond appropriately to its gravity. We are calling for the recognition of gender apartheid under international law to fill a major gap in our global legal framework. No one should ever be permitted to violate, segregate, silence or exclude people because of their gender. States must heed this call. This form of institutionalized oppression must be named. A mandate for its investigation and prosecution must be affirmed, and due penalty for its commission set. We owe that recognition, rigour and respect to the activists on the frontlines of the struggle for gender rights and equality, and we owe that justice to the victims and survivors of gender apartheid. The world must finally recognize gender apartheid under international law to fully extend the shield of law to women, girls and LGBTQI people and to rally and support efforts for the eradication of this heinous crime, wherever it occurs. The draft Crimes Against Humanity Convention, a major treaty effort currently under discussion at the UN, represents an important opportunity to invigorate the fight for gender justice. UN Member States must seize this chance to incorporate gender apartheid into international law, as well as seeking other opportunities, such as at the Human Rights Council, to reinforce the concept. amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

Children in #Gaza are permanently, constantly, fleeing for their lives. But they’re not fleeing randomly - they’re going to the areas that Israel directed them to go to “for their own safety”. Then they are being attacked. Dozens of Palestinians - including children- have been killed in Israeli designated “safe zones” in the last few days, says @save_children #CeasefireNOW #StopSendingArms
