9/11 Attacks
As you know, today is September 11th. Twenty-three years ago, on this day, we remember the 9/11 terrorist attacks that struck the city. The Secretary-General said that today his thoughts are with everyone who lost their loved ones on 9/11, and with all the people of New York City and also all of our colleagues here who also lost loved ones.
In a social media post, Mr. Guterres said that New York City has hosted the United Nations for decades and is the place many of our colleagues call home, and so does he.
On this day, the United Nations underscores its commitment to never forget the nearly 3,000 people from over 90 different countries whose lives were taken on that day, and the thousands more who were injured or sickened.
Occupied Palestinian Territory
Earlier this afternoon, local time in Gaza, an Israeli air strike hit an UNRWA school being used as a shelter, the New Nuseirat school in Gaza. The site had been previously deconflicted with Israeli forces. This is the fifth strike on the same location in the past 11 months. We are trying to confirm reports that some UNRWA staff members were killed in the attack.
Meanwhile, the polio vaccination campaign in northern Gaza is continuing. The World Health Organization tells us that as of yesterday, more than 81,600 children under ten [in the north] had been vaccinated. This is according to preliminary data they are reporting. This brings the total number of children reached across Gaza to nearly 528,000, as of yesterday. We’ll share updated figures as soon as we get them. More than 230 teams are on the ground trying to reach all children under the age of 10 with the first batch of the polio vaccination. As you will recall, they will need to do this again in four weeks.
Our colleagues from the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warn that Gaza’s health-care system remains in dire condition, with our partners reporting that half of all essential medicines are not available in the Gaza Strip. Primary health centres are facing critically low levels of insulin. Routine vaccination to protect infants from tuberculosis, as well as diphteria, tetanus and pertussis, are also nearly exhausted.
In the West Bank, OCHA reports that the United Nations and our partners continue to support Palestinian civilians affected by the 10-day Israeli security operation in Jenin and Tulkarm, as well as adjacent refugee camps. The support includes the delivery of food and water, with OCHA coordinating efforts to provide additional assistance.
Over the weekend, OCHA - along with UNRWA and other humanitarian partners - began assessing the needs of Palestinians impacted by the operation. OCHA reports that more than 620 people - over a third of them children - remain displaced. As of Sunday, 2,400 housing units have been damaged, with more than 100 rendered uninhabitable.
In the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps, more than 2.6 kilometres of water and sewage networks were bulldozed during the operation, severely hindering the delivery of essential services. OCHA reports that more than 33,000 residents have been coping with water cuts and sewage flooding over the past two weeks.
In the Kafr Dan, in the Jenin Refugee Camp, and in eastern Jenin, about 70 per cent of the city’s roads and underlying water and sewage networks were bulldozed during the operation - cutting drinking water for about 35,000 residents of those areas and creating sewage flooding problems.
Also, in a statement issued late yesterday, the Secretary-General strongly condemned the Israeli air strikes that took place in a densely populated area designated as a safe zone by the Israeli security forces in Khan Younis and the killing of civilians, including women and children. The use of heavy weapons in densely populated areas is unconscionable, the Secretary-General said. You had that statement yesterday.

يقول الأديب العالمي ومؤلف و صحفي فرنسي، ألبير كامو: "لا أبغض العالم الذي أعيش فيه ولكن أشعر بأنني متضامن مع من يعانون فيه. إن مهمتي ليست أن أغير العالم فأنا لم أعط من الفضائل ما يسمح لى ببلوغ هذه الغاية، و لكنني أحاول أن أدافع عن بعض القيم، التي بدونها تصبح الحياة غير جديرة بأن نحياها ويصبح الإنسان غير جدير بالاحترام".

The UN handling of Gaza is like a person avoiding going to the doctor so they don't discover they have cancer. When they asked if they have cancer, they answer that they believe cancer is bad. Great, thank you very much for being so helpful. Bunch of liers.

"يجب ان يكون هناك عدو لنعطي الى الشعب املا. قال احدهم ان الوطنية هي آخر ملجأ للأوغاد: من ليست له مبادئ اخلاقية يغلف نفسه عادة براية. والهوية القومية هي آخر حجة للمحرومين. الحال هو ان معنى الهوية يقوم على الكره، كره من هو غير مماثل". - فيلسوف و روائي إيطالي، أومبرتو إكو، كتابه: مقبرة براغ. # UmbertoEco

Justice for the people currently on trial for gside and that will happen for sure. Very few people are causing all this. A single man created the balfour declaration, a single german party created the havaara agreement and the UN supported it despite it being against their own charter.

لم أستطع أن أفهم الغاية من حياة خمسة و ثلاثين ألفا من السكان ، لِم كانوا يقرءون الإنجيل؟ لِم كانوا يصلون؟ لِم كانوا يمرون بأعينهم على الكتب و المجلات؟ ما قيمة كل ما كتب و قرئ إذا بقى الناس في مثل ما كانوا فيه من الظلام الروحي ، و من بغض الحرية. و كأنهم يعيشون منذ مئات و مئات السنين؟ إن البناء منهم ليقضي عمره بين المنازل ثم يمضي إلى قبره و هو لا يزال يقول الشفرة بدل الشرفة. و قد قرأ الخمس و الثلاثون. ألفا من السكان و سمعوا عن الحقيقة و الرحمة و الحرية أجيالا، لكنهم لايزالون حتى آخرتهم المرة يكذبون من الصباح إلى المساء ، و يعذب الواحد منهم الآخر ، و يخشون الحرية و يكرهونها كأنها أعدى أعدائهم.

No one religion has the only connection to the Creator. The connection to the Creator is inherent in every person, being, and thing in the Universe. Please don't belittle the true greatness and vastness of the Creator. We are given the freedom to do as we please. Racism and zealotry are the roots of evils. Religions are all seeking the truth and connection to the Creator and the world around them. Religions are all systems of belief. Now people can be corrupt and will use religion to manipulate people. This is true with all religions and true throughout the world.
