How much more can the long-suffering and stoic people of Afghanistan take? Proxy wars since 1979, one of the most heavily mined countries in the world, extreme poverty and adolescent girls banned from school. Can it get any worse. Heartbreaking….

Intressant inlägg Magda! Min far var sekulär Muslim från Egypten, otroligt beläst och berest, samt överläkare och cancerforskare vid Karolinska. Det var inte lätt för honom heller.

Omänskligt lidande för ett barn. 💔Man måste vara helt omänsklig och sakna samvete för att åsamka ett sådant lidande - och dessutom försvara det.

Facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, I urge the Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe & appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared.

Over 90% of the world’s students are affected by school closures. While it has been easier for developed countries to transit to remote learning, many governments have found this difficult or impossible.
Cooperation should be a key element in the response to

This is one universal truth.
