UN Humanitarian Chief to Security Council: History Will Judge Inaction in Gaza
In a powerful and urgent address to the UN Security Council on May 13, 2025, Tom Fletcher, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, condemned the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. He emphasized that Israel is creating inhumane conditions for civilians through total blockade and forced displacement, warning that 2.1 million Palestinians face famine, with one in five at risk of starvation. Fletcher detailed the collapse of Gaza’s healthcare system, the obstruction of humanitarian aid, and targeted attacks on aid workers, calling the situation a “21st century atrocity.” He urged the Council to uphold international law and allow the UN to resume life-saving operations, emphasizing that current Israeli-controlled aid modalities are unacceptable and harmful.
Fletcher also highlighted the worsening violence in the West Bank and broader threats to international humanitarian norms. Citing past UN failures in places like Rwanda and Srebrenica, he warned that future generations will judge today’s inaction harshly. He called for an immediate end to the blockade, accountability for violations, and urgent action from the Security Council to prevent further atrocities. His message was clear: history will not forgive silence or half-measures in the face of such widespread suffering.
Change on BBC as chilling facts on Gaza not countered with pro-Netanyahu biases
Tuesday saw a refreshing change on all BBC platforms as the publicly-funded UK media outlet allowed objective reporting on Gaza to go without painting it with pro-Netanyahu biases. Rifat Jawaid praises his former BBC colleagues arguing that this is how one must report on the conflict. However, there was one BBC representative, whose use of questionable term for freed US-Israeli IDF soldier disgraced journalism once again.
It is indeed a refreshing change, outright saying "constitutes a war crime" not the always "could be a war crime".
