A new level of open & deliberate defiance of international law, including of the privileges & immunities of the United Nations, by the State of Israel. Early this morning, Israeli forces stormed the UNRWA Headquarters, a United Nations site, in East Jerusalem. Bulldozers entered the compound & began demolishing buildings inside it under the watch of lawmakers & a member of the government. This constitutes an unprecedented attack against a United Nations agency & its premises. Like all UN Member States & countries committed to the international rule-based order, Israel is obliged to protect & respect the inviolability of UN premises. This comes in the wake of other steps taken by Israeli authorities to erase the Palestine Refugee identity. On January 12, Israeli forces stormed into an UNRWA health centre in East Jerusalem & ordered it to close. Water + power supplies to UNRWA facilities - including health & education buildings - are also scheduled to be cut in the coming weeks. This is a direct result of legislation passed by the Israeli parliament in December, which stepped up existing anti-UNRWA laws adopted in 2024. These actions, together with previous arson attacks & a large-scale disinformation campaign, fly in the face of the ruling in October by the International Court of Justice, which restated that Israel is obliged under international law to facilitate UNRWA’s operations, not hinder or prevent them. The court also stressed that Israel has no jurisdiction over East Jerusalem. There can be no exceptions. This must be a wake-up call. What happens today to UNRWA will happen tomorrow to any other international organisation or diplomatic mission, whether in the Occupied Palestinian Territory or anywhere around the world. International law has come under increasing attack for too long & is risking irrelevancy in the absence of response by Member States.

Gaza is now completely submerged the scene is unbearably harsh, beyond description. Water has flooded everything. The tents couldn’t withstand the heavy rain and have torn apart over the heads of women and children, who have nothing but their shivering bodies for shelter. Just moments ago, a crumbling wall collapsed on a small child who was running to escape the downpour. His condition is extremely critical, and no one has been able to pull him out yet. Rainwater, mixed with sewage, has flooded the tents, contaminated the food, soaked the bedding and even reached our living, breathing bodies. We are being bombed from the sky, drowning from the ground, freezing from the cold, and starving to exhaustion.This is not just a storm… this is a deliberate catastrophe, left to finish what the war did not. We are not asking for the impossible just caravans to shelter us, to protect us from the rain, from the cold, from death.But it seems the world doesn’t care about even the most basic human rights. Pressure them. Speak out. Do something. Just don’t stay silent. Because the world’s silence is a partner in what’s happening to us.

BREAKING!! Israel's unlawful occupation is bombing Gaza again! Dozens of civilians killed, including children. With most journalists killed/humanitarians blocked, Israel advances its genocidal violence UNNOTICED, aimed solely at forcing Palestinians out. The shame of the century.

This is Gaza now and the world is silent.
