One in 10 Gaza children screened in UNRWA clinics has been malnourished, the agency said on Tuesday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/16/world/palestinian-children-malnourished-un/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #children #hunger #malnutrition #un #unicef #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #unrwa

1/3🧵: This is how #protest movements reach a #tippingpoint 🥲. #Edinburgh #university, a #uni that was named in the #UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese's report about #Gaza #genocide enablers, saw its PhD #students walk out en masse from their own #graduation ceremony on Friday. Hear those who think they are the majority shout "shut up" until they come to realise the majority is loudly, clearly and beautifully supporting #Palestine and #divestment.

United Nations sanctions monitors have seen no "active ties" this year between al-Qaida and the Islamist group leading Syria's interim government, an unpublished U.N. report said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/12/world/un-report-syria-al-qaida/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #alqaida #terrorism #islamicstate #syria #middleeast #un #us

Interesting response and analysis of Francesca Albanese regarding profiteering in the siege of Gaza and settlements of Palestinian land, annexed to Israel. She’s been studying this for over 2 years, revealing particular capitalist entities like Maersk. She notes that young activists undertook the research and now established media refuses to acknowledge their authority. 2nd part of interview yet to be recorded and posted.

🔵 UN's Francesca Albanese says the #US sanctions are “mafia style intimidation techniques” and vows to continue her work to remind states of their obligations to stop and punish #genocide. And those who profit from it.
Mohamed Hassan sat down with Albanese to talk about what her explosive report exposes about the world's richest companies, and how the rest of us are implicated in a system that exploits the pain of Palestinians.

The genocide industry: UN rapporteur exposes over 60 companies complicit in Israel’s crimes against Palestinians.
Francesca Albanese called for holding the involved companies legally liable for their complicity in Israel’s ongoing genocide, displacement, and replacement of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
Two key ingredients were in less abundance at a once-a-decade U.N. development finance conference in Seville, Spain this year: money and power. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/04/world/politics/un-development-event-small-audience/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #un #development #debt #climatechange

📲 On JUL-03 2025, Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur on the situation of #humanrights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, updated the 🔵 UN Human Rights Council at its 59th session.

From economy of occupation to economy of genocide…
🌍 The UN Human Rights Council report investigates how a network of corporate actors (companies, investors and service providers) is deeply involved in sustaining Israel’s settler-colonial policies, resulting in systemic displacement, #apartheid-like conditions, and acts like what the Rapporteur describes as #genocide
