In > 48 hrs United Nations compound in Gaza that United NationsDP managed until 13 Oct when UN staff vacated it, was reportedly shelled again.

I condemn the targeting of UN facilities & remind their inviolability must always be protected.

Int’l humanitarian law must be upheld

On top of a humanitarian crisis, the war in #Gaza is accelerating poverty in an already vulnerable population.

If the war continues for a full 2nd month, ½ a million Palestinians could be pushed into poverty.

I repeat my call for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Middle East, the unconditional release of all hostages, and the delivery of life-saving supplies at the scale needed.

Everyone must assume their responsibilities.

This is a moment of truth.

History will judge us all.

A day of gratitude and relief as threat of Red Sea oil spill from #FSOSafer is averted. The United Nations-led, United NationsDP implemented plan to #StopRedSeaSpill has succeeded. 2 years of meticulous & painstaking negotiations and logistics by our dedicated teams delivered

We welcome the launch of the operation to transfer 1.14 million barrels of oil from the decaying FSO Safer oil tanker. This is a critical step toward implementing the UN Development emergency plan to avert a regional economic, environmental, and humanitarian crisis.state.gov/un-begins-oper…
