  17. On September 2, the Israeli company “Mechorot” halted water pumping to Gaza, coinciding with the shutdown of 5 out of 6 Israeli desalination plants on the Mediterranean due to turbidity in the seawater caused by a bloom of microscopic algae.

    UNICEF stated that approximately one million Palestinians in Gaza, who rely on the Israeli water network, were affected by the reduced supply, and that water distribution via tankers only partially compensated for the shortfall.

    Israeli water accounts for about one-third of Gaza’s supply, while the remainder relies on groundwater pumping and local desalination plants that were severely damaged by the war, including the destruction by Israel of a new plant on August 24.

    Israeli experts have linked the deterioration of Gaza’s sewage networks and the flow of untreated wastewater into the sea to an algal bloom that has disrupted the plants. This was caused by Israel’s continuous bombardment of the Strip since October 7, 2023, which led to the destruction of infrastructure.

  22. 🫟 𝑪𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒔 🫟

    Mucho antes de convertirse en una estrella de Hollywood, Audrey Hepburn vivió una adolescencia marcada por la guerra.
    Y una de las historias más sorprendentes de su vida ocurrió cuando apenas tenía quince años.

    Durante la ocupación alemana de los Países Bajos, Audrey participaba en pequeños espectáculos clandestinos de ballet celebrados en casas particulares.
    Las ventanas permanecían tapadas, apenas había luz y siempre había alguien vigilando por si aparecían soldados alemanes.

    Aquellas reuniones eran conocidas como "zwarte avonden" o "noches negras".
    El dinero recaudado servía para ayudar a personas escondidas, familias perseguidas y actividades relacionadas con la resistencia neerlandesa.

    Lo más llamativo llegaba al final de cada actuación.

    Nadie aplaudía.

    No porque el espectáculo hubiera sido malo, sino porque un simple aplauso podía delatar la reunión y poner en peligro a todos los presentes.
    El silencio era la única forma segura de mostrar admiración.

    Para evitar llamar la atención por su nombre británico, Audrey incluso comenzó a utilizar el nombre de Edda van Heemstra durante la ocupación.

    La guerra también golpeó de lleno a su familia.
    Uno de sus tíos políticos fue fusilado por los alemanes como represalia por un sabotaje que nunca cometió.
    Uno de sus hermanastros fue enviado a trabajos forzados en Berlín y otro tuvo que esconderse para evitar correr la misma suerte.

    Después llegó el llamado "Invierno del Hambre" de 1944-1945.
    La escasez de alimentos fue tan extrema que Audrey sobrevivió alimentándose, entre otras cosas, de bulbos de tulipán.
    Aquellos meses le provocaron anemia, desnutrición y problemas de salud que arrastraría durante años.

    Cuando terminó la guerra quiso convertirse en bailarina profesional, pero los años de hambre habían afectado a su desarrollo físico.
    Su profesora, la prestigiosa Marie Rambert, le explicó que difícilmente llegaría a ser primera bailarina.

    Ese sueño roto terminó llevándola hacia otro camino: el cine.

    Décadas después, ya convertida en una de las actrices más admiradas del mundo, nunca olvidó lo que había vivido.
    Por eso dedicó los últimos años de su vida a colaborar con UNICEF, convencida de que ningún niño debería pasar por el hambre y el miedo que ella había conocido.

    Quizá por eso Audrey Hepburn transmitía tanta elegancia.
    No nacía solo de su forma de vestir o de caminar, sino de haber aprendido, siendo casi una niña, que incluso un baile en silencio podía convertirse en un acto de resistencia.

  24. How can better data improve humanitarian action?

    WorldPop brought together experts from #UNHCR #IOM, #UNICEF and leading universities to advance ethical, data-driven approaches to tracking forced displacement. The workshop focused on improving data quality, protecting privacy, and making women and children more visible in decision-making.

    UNICEF has $630,000 in #humanitarianAid that can’t reach Cuba. Emergency #medical kits, newborn supplies, and nutrition support for pregnant #women are stuck as shipping companies and banks avoid doing business with the island. #UN Resident Coordinator in Cuba Francisco Pichón explains why.

  26. Vor kurzem erschien ein neuer Bericht von #Unicef, der #Klimafolgen für #Kinder analysiert. Die Kernaussage: Weltweit sind fast alle Kinder und Jugendliche (unter 18 Jahren) von der Klimakrise bedroht. Fast alle.
    Die häufigsten Risiken für junge Menschen sind Dürren, extreme Hitze und Überschwemmungen – beziehungsweise eine Kombination aus all dem. Im Bericht ist die Rede von „Kaskaden an multiplen, sich überschneidenden Gefahren“.

  27. The #genocide committed by #Israel in #Gaza continues.

    Here's what "Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part" means, there:

    • 1.9 million people displaced, 90% of the population

    • 84% of Gaza now under evacuation orders

    • 745,000 people facing emergency levels of food insecurity, including 495,000 facing an extreme lack (#famine).

    • 995,000 people suffering from acute #respiratory #infections, 577,000 with acute watery diarrhea

    • 20 out of 36 #hospitals out of service

    • 21 more military strikes against schools that serve as shelters, since July 1st; as of today, 85% of all school buildings directly hit or damaged

    • 485 #health workers killed, with a further 283 #aid workers

    • 65% of the road network damaged

    • In August, one third of all humanitarian #missions applied for from Israel have been declined, so far

    • 66% of all #cropland and 33% of the #greenhouse area are damaged, 60-70% of all #livestock has been killed or prematurely slaughtered

    This is what you get when a single nation like the #US has the power to protect the openly genocidal government of #Israel under #Netanyahu from any consequences.

    You might consider donating to #UNICEF, to save toddlers and kids in #Gaza, rather than seeing your hard-earned money burned for video clips in support of #KamalaHarris - who nodded through another $20 billion weapons package for Israel, only days ago.

    "[...] Zu verdanken ist dies vor allem den Fortschritten in Südasien. Die Region ist auf dem besten Weg, #Kinderehen in rund 55 Jahren ganz abzuschaffen, heißt es in dem #Unicef-Bericht."
