The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) warned Monday that disease risks in the Gaza Strip have reached record levels, as children continue to miss essential vaccinations amid more than two years of war, harsh winter conditions and the collapse of the health system, Anadolu reports.

UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said children in Gaza have repeatedly been deprived of routine immunizations needed to protect them from preventable diseases since the start of the conflict.

“Amid more than two years of war in Gaza, children have repeatedly missed out on the vaccines they need to stay safe,” Lazzarini said in a statement.

He said severe winter weather, including cold temperatures, heavy rainfall and flooding, is further compounding health risks in the enclave.

“These conditions come on top of already record-high disease risks caused by poor water and sanitation services, overcrowded shelters and the collapse of the medical system,” he added.

Lazzarini said UNRWA teams, in coordination with UNICEF, the World Health Organization and local partners, began the second round of a catch-up vaccination campaign on Sunday targeting children under the age of three.

“Vaccination in such conditions matters more than ever,” he said, stressing that UNRWA continues to work to save lives in Gaza.

The Israeli army has killed more than 71,000 people, most of them women and children, and injured over 171,000 others in a brutal offensive since October 2023 that left the Gaza Strip in ruins.

Despite a ceasefire that began on Oct. 10, the Israeli army has continued its attacks, killing 465 Palestinians and wounding 1,287 others, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

Experiencing issues with this image not appearing. I suspect because it's so critical of Zionist Keir Starmer's support of and complicity in Israel's genocides. — Genocide denier and Current UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is quoted that he supports Zionism without qualification. He also confirms that UK air force support has been essential in Israel’s mass-murdering genocide. Includes URLs https://www.declassifieduk.org/keir-starmers-100-spy-flights-over-gaza-in-support-of-israel/ and https://youtu.be/O74hZCKKdpA

Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza's hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel. — Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF.

Orcas discuss Genocide-supporting and complicit Zionists. Donald Trump, Keith Starmer, David Lammy, Rachel Reeves, Angela Rayner and Wes Streeting are acknowledged as evil genocide-complicit and supporting cnuts.

Two Palestinians were killed and two others injured in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip on Monday, marking a new violation of last year’s ceasefire deal, medical sources said, Anadolu reports.

A medical source said a child was shot in the head by Israeli forces and died of his wounds in al-Mawasi area of Rafah in southern Gaza. The age of the child was not specified.

The source said a 17-year-old Palestinian was also killed after being shot in the abdomen by Israeli fire and was admitted to Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza.

Israeli army forces also shot and critically injured a 20-year-old man in the southern city of Khan Younis, the source added.

A second Palestinian youth was wounded in an Israeli bomb explosion in northern Gaza.

Local sources said an Israeli drone dropped a bomb on a group of civilians in the town of Beit Lahiya, injuring the young man in an area from which Israeli forces had withdrawn.

Israeli artillery shelling was also reported in the eastern areas of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza and al-Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza City. Israeli forces also fired randomly east of the town of Jabalia in northern Gaza.

No information was yet available about injuries.

Israeli troops continue to control the southern and eastern buffer zones of the enclave and large parts of northern Gaza, maintaining control over nearly 50% of the territory.

The attacks came after the Israeli army killed two Palestinians in separate incidents in northern and southern Gaza on Sunday, on claims of crossing the Yellow Line.

The line is stipulated in the ceasefire agreement and separates Israeli military deployment zones in the east from areas where Palestinians are permitted to move in the west.

Palestinians have accused Israel of repeatedly violating the Oct. 10 ceasefire that halted Israel’s brutal war that has killed more than 71,000 people, most of them women and children, and injured over 171,000 others since October 2023.

At least 464 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 1,280 others injured in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire, according to the Health Ministry.

UK must show backbone and publicly reject Trump’s ‘brutish manipulation tactic’ on Greenland, say Greens

Spread the love

Reacting to news that Donald Trump plans to impose a 10% tariff on the UK, Denmark and other European countries until “such time as a deal is reached for the complete and total purchase of Greenland”, Green MP Dr Ellie Chowns said:

“Donald Trump treats the international stage like a schoolyard playground, attempting to bully and brute force other countries into compliance with his imperialist agenda. The unhinged President’s latest threat to impose tariffs on the UK and a swathe of our European allies is an outrageous abuse of power and a direct attack on the principle of national self-determination, treating the future of Greenland as if it were a piece of spoils to be bought and sold.

“The UK must not be cowed. In an attempt to uphold Britain’s so-called “special relationship” with the US, the UK government has continuously appeased and emboldened the increasingly erratic President as he pursues a dangerous agenda of naked geopolitical vanity. This cannot continue. Chasing the White House’s favour will not secure Britain’s economic future; it leaves us exposed to the whims of a man with no respect for international law and order.

“If we are serious about protecting British jobs and businesses from sudden shocks like this, we need a different strategy: rebuild our relationships with our European neighbours, deepen co-operation across the continent, and rejoin the Customs Union so that our economy is defended by stable, reliable arrangements – not dependent on the fleeting favour of a single foreign leader.

“The UK government must show genuine backbone: publicly reject this brutish manipulation tactic by Trump, stand firm with Greenland’s right to self-determination, and urgently pursue closer, constructive ties with Europe that protect Britain’s long-term interests.

“Greenland cannot be bought – it’s time to prove that Britain can’t be either.”
