'LIVE' Noon briefing by Farhan Haq, Deputy Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: Gaza Occupied Palestinian Territory Yemen Syria Venezuela Afghanistan Democratic Republic of the Congo Mpox GAZA Volker Türk, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, said that today marks a grim milestone for the world with 40,000 Palestinian lives officially confirmed to have been lost, according to Gaza’s health ministry. Most of the dead are women and children. This unimaginable situation, he said, is overwhelmingly due to recurring failures by the Israeli Defense Forces to comply with the rules of war. Mr. Türk said that on average, about 130 people have been killed every day in Gaza over the past 10 months. He added that the Human Rights Office has documented serious violations of international humanitarian law by both the Israeli military and Palestinian armed groups, including the armed wing of Hamas. OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says that hostilities and recurrent evacuation orders are driving a seemingly endless cycle of displacement – and making it increasingly difficult for people to access the humanitarian assistance they need to survive after 10 months of war. To give an example of the conditions in which people live now in Gaza, our teams were able to access two sites in Khan Younis today. In addition to the difficulties getting to markets, the lack of food and high prices, families explained to our colleagues that due to the absence of cleaning and hygiene products, they are getting skin infections, particularly affecting their children. #ceasefirenow #stopthegenocide #breakthesilence #civildesobedience https://lnkd.in/e_iQ9Yqn

The war on Palestine has instilled a fear in Lebanese people as well. This has made some expats to shift their investments from constructed real estate to lands since there is no depritiation on lands and it is less risky in case of destruction as land remains land.

The road closures have significantly exacerbated the suffering of civilians on multiple levels and caused numerous crises. These issues extend beyond the difficulties of travel and transportation between Yemeni governorates. The economic repercussions have been severe, entangled with the complexities of the country's humanitarian crisis. The situation, along with the challenging travel conditions and the imposition of burdensome levies on traders, has led to a sharp increase in the prices of goods, essential supplies, and services. This has made them unaffordable for the vast majority of Yemenis, compounded by their weakened purchasing power, salary disruptions, and the unavailability of most services in various regions of #Yemen. 🔗The Statement: https://lnkd.in/gXXxn_mZ
