En fullständig humanitär katastrof pågår i Gaza. EU tredubblar sitt humanitära bistånd. Men vad gör Sverige, mer än att frysa det långsiktiga biståndet? @sigriddiana @Act_Svk #israel #palestine #gaza
I spoke with @UN SG @antonioguterres following my visit & contacts with regional leaders.
The EU will be tripling its humanitarian aid for vulnerable civilians in Gaza and the wider region.
We will redouble efforts to ensure this support reaches those who need it.

Moving more than one million people across a densely populated warzone to a place with no food, water, or accommodation, when the entire territory of Gaza is under siege, is extremely dangerous – and in some cases, simply not possible.

Another example of Western reporting that conflates calls for putting corrupt elites on trial and indicting war criminals. The result is an overestimation of the popular support for a war crime tribunal in Liberia. bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-…

Dear @ACLEDINFO - when #Sudan ranks just "High" - putting it in the same category with Kenya - versus "Extreme" (the highest ranking), something is wrong your conflict index.
Approximately 97% of all political violence is concentrated in just 50 countries.
