The @UNOPS team in #Gaza has reported three incidents over three consecutive days affecting our convoys and premises in the past week alone.
Close proximity explosions, drivers detained at checkpoints, and multiple small arms rounds striking one of our guesthouses.

"Climate justice is urgent and unequivocal."👇
Following my recent visit to #Nepal, I joined @UN_Spokesperson Noon Briefing to share what I saw and heard from communities devastated by the flash flood – one of the most catastrophic expressions of the new climate-reality.
The international community must step up and meet its climate commitments – on climate finance, on emissions reduction, and on helping developing countries build resilience to future shocks.
Climate justice is urgent and unequivocal.

Attacks directed against civilians are prohibited under international law.
Yet, from the Middle East to Ukraine to Sudan, we are seeing civilians & civilian infrastructure deliberately thrust into the line of fire.
Nothing seems to be off-limits: homes, hospitals, schools, airports, power stations & energy facilities.
These attacks must stop.
