عندما تدمر النزاعات البيئة، تستمر آثارها طويلاً حتى بعد توقف القتال.
فمنذ عام 2023، فقدت غزة 97% من محاصيل الأشجار و82% من محاصيلها السنوية. وفي لبنان، قُدّرت الأضرار والخسائر الزراعية بنحو 704 ملايين دولار أمريكي عام 2025 (الفاو).
حماية البيئة هي أيضاً حماية لحقوق الإنسان ولأسس السلام المستدام.

#Gaza has lost 97% of its tree crops and 82% of its annual crops since 2023. In Lebanon, agricultural damages and losses reached an estimated USD 704 million in 2025 (FAO).

Geneva Centre (GCHRAGD) retweeted
The Palestinian people continue to endure immense suffering.
Israeli restrictions on humanitarian assistance must be lifted.
The obstacles to implementation of the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict endorsed by the Security Council must be removed.
Civilians must be protected.
And international law must be respected.
The two-State solution remains the only viable path: Israel & Palestine living side-by-side in peace & security.
Shared principles matter most when they are hardest to uphold.
In times of conflict, geopolitical divisions and competing priorities, international cooperation is put to the test. The principles of the UN Charter must translate into action to protect human rights, uphold international law and safeguard human dignity.
Cooperation is a choice. Upholding human rights is a responsibility.
On #UnitedNationsDay, let’s reaffirm the importance of dialogue, multilateral engagement and turning commitments into action.
