UNIFIL’s role is crucial given the escalating situation in the region. Alongside allies and partners we condemn the recent attacks on its peacekeepers. These attacks must stop immediately and international humanitarian law must be respected. See our statement below

Sisters Yulduz and Fariba Hashimi grew up in Faryab, a remote Afghan province. When they trained, men would hurl abuse and throw stones at them. They shone @Paris2024 , utterly defying the Taliban ban on women's sports. Every girl deserves to control her future. #DayOfTheGirl

Since 2021 1.4 million Afghan girls have been barred from school by the Taliban. Afghanistan is the only country banning female higher education. A privilege to meet @Malala @RahelaHSidiqi @Metra_Mehran yesterday. We’ll keep supporting Afghan women and girls. #SDG4 #DayOfTheGirl

The UK's commitment to Ukraine is unwavering. It was an honour to welcome President @ZelenskyyUa to London. We are clear – our collective security depends on standing up to Putin's imperialism.

Despite Israel’s commitment to flood Gaza with aid, fewer aid trucks were given access last month than at any point this year. This is unacceptable. Israel must ensure @UN and aid workers can operate safely. An immediate ceasefire can release the hostages and end this crisis.

Today we remember those who lost their lives in the horrific October 7 attacks and their loved ones. We condemn Hamas’ terrorism. Palestinian civilians have also experienced unbearable suffering since. A ceasefire deal can bring the hostages home and end this devastating cycle.

One year ago today, Hamas carried out the abhorrent October 7 attacks — which we unequivocally condemn. I met families of those still being held in Gaza last week @HostageAid . A ceasefire deal can bring the hostages home and end this suffering.
