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.

🫟 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.

Hamza needs your help. He's no longer the cheerful child who used to laugh and play... Hunger and malnutrition have ravaged his small body, and I watch him grow weaker every day, unable to provide enough to save him. I urgently need $70 today to provide food and basic necessities for Hamza and help him.

Secondo il #BeBrave G7 Scorecard 2025, un rapporto che valuta l'impegno dei paesi del G7 nella protezione dell'infanzia a livello globale, l'Italia risulta all'ultimo posto nella classifica delle donazioni pro capite all'UNICEF.

Il rapporto #BeBrave G7 Scorecard 2025 (Brave Movement) indica che:
- l’Italia contribuisce all’UNICEF con circa 2,26 USD pro capite;
- ed è indicata come il valore più basso tra i Paesi G7 nel confronto per capita delle donazioni UNICEF.

🫟 𝑪𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒔 🫟

Invierno de 1944, Países Bajos.
La guerra estaba llegando a su fin, pero para millones, el sufrimiento apenas comenzaba.
Los trenes no funcionaban, los ríos estaban congelados y los alimentos no podían llegar a las ciudades.
Las raciones cayeron de unas 1.800 calorías diarias a apenas 500.
Este período se recuerda como el Dutch Hunger Winter, y durante esos meses murieron entre 20.000 y 25.000 personas por desnutrición.

Las familias buscaban cualquier cosa que pudiera comer.
Algunos recurrieron a bulbos de tulipán, que antes se habían usado para decorar los campos de flores que hicieron famoso al país.
El gobierno empezó a venderlos como alimento de emergencia y las revistas publicaban recetas.
La preparación era sencilla: se cortaba el bulbo, se retiraba el germen, se rallaba y se cocinaba en agua con un poco de grasa o sal, si se tenía.
No era un alimento perfecto, y podía provocar problemas digestivos si se preparaba mal, pero aquel invierno, lo que importaba era sobrevivir.

Entre quienes comieron tulipanes ese año había una adolescente de 16 años, alta, muy delgada, apenas superando los 40 kilos.
Su nombre: Audrey Hepburn.
Años después, recordaría cómo el edema por hambre comienza en los pies y sube lentamente por el cuerpo; si llegaba al corazón, podía ser mortal.
Sobrevivió gracias a los tulipanes, pero también gracias a su fuerza y a pequeñas acciones de resistencia: participaba en espectáculos de danza secretos llamados zwarte avonden o “veladas negras” para recaudar fondos para la resistencia holandesa, sin que el público pudiera aplaudir por miedo a ser descubiertos por los nazis.

La desnutrición marcó su físico y la obligó a abandonar su sueño de ser bailarina de ballet profesional, pero no su espíritu.
Décadas después, se convertiría en una de las actrices más icónicas del siglo XX y en embajadora de UNICEF, llevando ayuda a niños y comunidades en todo el mundo.

Incluso su cine llevó la memoria de aquel trauma: se dice que en la famosa escena de "Desayuno con diamantes", cuando Audrey mira el escaparate de Tiffany’s comiendo un croissant, la melancolía y el anhelo de esa mirada no eran actuados; eran ecos de aquel hambre que nunca la abandonó del todo.

En honor a su legado y su historia, los cultivadores holandeses bautizaron un tulipán con su nombre: Tulipán Audrey Hepburn, un blanco puro y cremoso que simboliza la paz que ella buscó toda su vida.
Una flor que recuerda cómo, en el momento más oscuro de la guerra, los tulipanes fueron mucho más que belleza: fueron supervivencia.

'A despicable disgrace': #BobGeldof condemns #Israel over #Gaza hunger

Updated / Friday, 25 Jul 2025

"#LiveAid founder Bob Geldof has condemned the Israeli government's role in the Gaza crisis, calling it 'a despicable disgrace' and saying it is deliberately #StarvingChildren.

" 'Their government is clearly out of control, and their army probably as well… It is a despicable disgrace. And for the Israeli people to allow this in their name is a despicable disgrace,' he told Prime Time.

" 'It is so utterly bizarre that we're talking about #Israel, given the horror of their own past. It is bewildering to me,' he said.

" 'I was the founding patron of the #AegisTrust for #GenocideStudies, which is a branch of the British National #HolocaustMuseum. I spent many times with the survivors of the #Holocaust' he told presenter Miriam O’Callaghan, 'were they alive now? They would possibly die of shame. The shame of this, Miriam, the shame for Israel... This is unconscionable.'

"His comments come amid escalating warnings from UN agencies about catastrophic levels of #starvation in Gaza.

"Earlier, Louise Wateridge, a senior emergency officer with #UNRWA, described the situation on the ground as 'completely unbearable,' with people stepping over bodies at aid centres in desperate searches for food.

"She said more than 6,000 aid trucks - half carrying essential food and medical supplies - are currently blocked just outside Gaza by Israeli restrictions.

"#UNICEF also warned that ongoing bombardment and mass displacement have rendered large parts of Gaza inaccessible for #humanitarian operations, with basic health and nutrition services near collapse.

"Mr Geldof appeared on Prime Time after a report featuring footage and images taken in recent days of #malnourished and hungry children in Gaza.

"In the report, #Oxfam aid worker #BushraKhalidi described the actions of Israel as '#CollectivePunishment,' while #CarolineWilleman of #DoctorWithoutBorders, speaking from northern Gaza, told Prime Time that she had never witnessed anything like what she was seeing currently during her career.

"She described how #Palestinian colleagues who are caring for sick and dying children are themselves unable to feed themselves or their own children.

" 'We are witnessing a #genocide,' Ms Willeman said, 'we are witnessing a genocide because we are witnessing people from whom food is being upheld, from whom water is being upheld.'

" 'It literally is beyond our comprehension. Look at your face, look at the aid workers there,' Mr Geldof said, 'What are we living in? I cannot look at those pictures. Obviously, they remind me of 1984, but in completely different circumstances.'

"Between 1983 and 1985 a major #famine erupted in #Ethiopia as a result of #drought and conflict. Footage in the news media drove Mr Geldof and #MidgeUre to found #BandAid in 1984 to raise funds for #FamineRelief initiatives.

"A year later, Live Aid, a two-event concert performed simultaneously in the UK and US was held. It featured some of the most famous music acts in the world at the time."
