The Israeli Final Solution for Gaza: resettle all of Gaza in Egypt, Iraq, Turkiye, and Yemen. "Senior US lawmakers review plan linking Gaza refugee resettlement to US aid to Arab countries." Israeli PM Netanyahu and his cabinet have been quietly holding meetings with a select group of US politicians, and pushing their plan to "thin out the population in Gaza to a minimum" in the aftermath of the bombardment. Quote: "...a plan drawn up by Ron Dermer at Netanyahu's request, which examines ways to thin the population in Gaza to a minimum...for the Prime Minister, this is a strategic goal." Quote: "A demand not to cause harm to the displaced people in the southern Gaza Strip when the IDF starts operating there, can be answered with a non-binding statement that "we will try"." Dividing Palestinian Population: Egypt - takes "1,000,000 Palestinian refugees (constituting 0.9% of Egyptian population)" Turkiye - takes "500,000 Palestinian refugees (0.6% of Turkiye population)" Iraq - takes "250,000 Palestinian refugees (0.6% of Iraqi population)" Yemen - takes "250,000 Palestinian refugees (0.75% of Yemen population)" This means Gaza will be wiped clean, ethnically cleansed of its entire population, right infront of the world. Did you wonder why Israel was bombing all #UNRWA schools, shelters, and food warehouses? Here it is:👇 Quote: "The document's authors note that UNRWA is a problematic factor...inhibiting the rehabilitation (read sheltering/feeding and not allowing Israel to expel them) of Palestinian refugees for over seventy years." "Therefore, they claim, it (UNRWA) must be shut down." #StandwithPalestine #AntiZionism #ethniccleansing Hebrew translation https://lnkd.in/eEGw3JmW English publication https://lnkd.in/eZXUqHNe

Yesterday was World Refugee Day, a day to honor people who have been forced to flee and champion their right to seek safety, build support for their economic and social inclusion, and advocate for solutions to their plight. I could not stop thinking at #Gaza on this day because unlike in most of the humanitarian crisis, people in Gaza have nowhere to flee, they are prisoners blocked by a wall. Four Enabel colleagues remain trapped in Gaza under dire conditions. Since the military operations began in Rafah, the humanitarian situation has drastically deteriorated in every aspect. They have been displaced for the tenth time, now living in tents on the beach under extreme heat and harsh sunlight. They are suffering in numerous ways: the continuing bombings poses constant threats to their lives, there is a scarcity of food, and what little is available is of poor quality. They have no access to vegetables, fruits, or meat, relying mainly on canned food and drinking unclean water, which has led to severe illnesses such as Hepatitis A and cholera. The children are beginning to experience malnutrition, skin diseases, and general poor health. Another challenge they face is the lack of cash; accessing cash incurs a 12-20% interest charge per withdrawal. Those 4 colleagues and their families are allowed by the Belgian Government to find refuge in Belgium, but their authorization to leave Gaza has not been granted by Israel. I find this situation completely inhuman and unacceptable and call all parties to find a way to end this atrocity.

As I look back on an old video from my time in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, I am reminded of a period that marked both profound human suffering and incredible resilience. This was when thousands upon thousands of Rohingya were fleeing unspeakable violence in Myanmar, seeking safety and sanctuary. The crisis involving the Rohingya, a Muslim minority group in Myanmar, escalated significantly in 2017. The United Nations has reported extensive human rights violations and abuses against the Rohingya in Myanmar, leading to a mass displacement of over 700,000 people to Bangladesh and other countries. Witnessing this exodus first-hand was a life-changing experience. The sheer number of people, each with their own stories of loss and desperation, was overwhelming. Yet, amidst this sea of humanity, there was an undeniable strength, a will to survive, and hope for a better future. This historical context is crucial for understanding the scale and depth of the Rohingya crisis. Bangladesh became a refuge for hundreds of thousands, with Cox’s Bazar housing the world’s largest refugee camp. The international community’s response has been a crucial aspect of the ongoing efforts to provide aid and seek long-term solutions for the Rohingya. Today, I share this video and my reflections not just to reminisce, but to rekindle awareness about the plight of the Rohingya people. Many continue to live in precarious conditions in refugee camps, their futures uncertain. The crisis may have faded from daily headlines, but the need for a sustainable resolution and support for the Rohingya remains as urgent as ever. As professionals, we have the power to advocate, to raise awareness, and to contribute our skills in ways that can support humanitarian efforts around the globe. Let this be a reminder of our shared responsibility towards our fellow human beings, irrespective of borders and ethnicities. #RohingyaCrisis #HumanitarianAid #GlobalAwareness #refugeesupport

We're living in an era of devastation, agony, and disgrace. The prevalence of conflicts and violence has invariably been forcing mass populations to flee from their homelands over the years worldwide. In addition, the persistence of countless natural disasters has been affecting a large number of countries terribly. In a word, the suffering of mass people has been proliferating at an alarming rate over the past few years. According to the report of the Internal Displace Monitoring Center (IDMC), around 75.9 million people have been internally displaced by the end of 2023, which seems higher than previous records. In the last five years, the number of refugees in countries like #Sudan, #Ukraine, #Haiti, #Myanmar, #Afghanistan, #Gaza, and so on has increased by more than fifty percent. It's estimated that more than 68.3 million people in the world have been turned into #refugees due to #conflict and #violence - whereas around 7.7 million people have died from natural calamities. The report implies that the refugee crisis is worsening and deepening every single day because of both human-made and natural disasters. Beyond doubt, the escalating #RefugeeCrisis may take millions of people years to rebuild their lives. It may make millions of people give in to their dreams, futures, and aspirations. It may force millions of people to be bereft of family and deprived of education. It may make millions of people physically disabled and mentally traumatized. So do we have any responsibility to prevent such a dreadful situation worldwide? Can't we do anything fruitful to make the globe completely free from the brunt of the refugee crisis? We can and we must do it as early as possible. Ebadul Haque Human Rights Defender

The first time I experienced #refugees was when I was in 3rd grade and my dad welcomed hundreds of refugees to have breakfast at his hotel. I stood with my eyes wide open, unable to believe my own eyes as I saw so many kids and young adults without parents who had traveled through Europe and were now on their way from Germany into the Nordics. My parents repeated this gesture many times, and I ran in and out with coffee and filled up the buffet to keep up with the hungry souls. Since then, I have been involved in so much that has anything to do with refugees, immigrants, and others who leave everything behind to pursue a better and safer life. I want to understand the root causes and potential solutions to this global crisis. I am leaving my desk for a few to go to #Kenya, and I am deeply honored to have been invited to experience, learn from, and help in the largest refugee camp in the world—Kakuma Refugee Camp (thanks to the World Economic Forum) — it is located in the northwestern region of Kenya. The camp was established in 1992 following the arrival of the "Lost Boys of Sudan." More than 70 million people in the world are refugees, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). For example, conflicts and persecution have forced nearly 26 million people to seek refuge in other countries, while around 45 million are internally displaced within their own countries. Additionally, over half of the world's #refugees are children under the age of 18. Addressing this issue requires a multifaceted approach, including conflict resolution, humanitarian aid, and long-term development strategies. #leadershipdevelopment #learn #WEF

Hi Mona I suggest you learn a little history, on the eve of 1948 there were about 600,000 Jews and less than that Arabs (not Palestinians, Tzahar and never given a state called Palestine), on the eve of 1948 there was a British mandate on the area you are referring to, following the UN resolution the State of Israel was established, which following This decision attacked the State of Israel by Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq and a number of other Muslim countries As a result of this war, the Gaza Strip remained in the hands of Egypt and the West Bank remained in the hands of Jordan. Part of the Arab population less than 300,000 fled to Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt and Syria. How did approximately 300,000 Arab refugees (not Palestinians as you claim) become 15 million???, a phenomenon that has no precedent or equal in the world..., a stupid decision by the nation that anyone born to those refugees will also be considered a refugee, but You don't explain this since you haven't studied history... All your arguments for returning these "refugees" to Gaza and the West Bank are not relevant at all since there is another argument... which is: on the eve of 1967 the armies of Syria, Jordan and Egypt concentrated for an attack on Israel, as a result Gaza and all of Sinai were occupied by Israel as well as the West Bank and the Golan Heights ... Do you know that Halbal Alsace Lorraine, the northeastern region and more once belonged to Germany, but these territories were not returned and remained in the hands of France?, there are many more examples of the occupation of countries whose territories have not been returned to this day, so why should Israel return these territories , although Sinai and Gaza were returned to Egypt, but Egypt is not interested in the Arab population of Gaza, and thus Jordan is not interested in the territories of the West Bank, i.e. no country is interested in this Arab population that does not contribute anything to its country, but only demands and demands everything good, similar to "Refugees" that you mention constantly... No one is interested in them as no one is interested in Hamas, even though a number of countries have offered the residents of Gaza to stay with them, but these were only talks..., this is because these Arab countries know the nature of this population, that is, no one is interested Including the "refugees" that you cherish so much.

Living in Egypt has exposed me to the refugee crises of the Middle East. One of the countries most burdened is Lebanon, which hosts an estimated 1.5 million Syrian refugees, and many others of different nationalities, including Palestine. Lebanon is experiencing its worst socio-economic crisis in decades and the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict is compromising even more people. Increases in poverty, disruptions in critical supply chains, and limitations on access to food, healthcare, education, and other basic services have just made everything worse. Now, amid a funding crisis, UNRWA’s work in Lebanon could end by March, which would leave Palestinian refugees extremely vulnerable.

How will the world’s youngest nation navigate one of the worst refugee crises in Africa? While the world is watching a war unfold in Sudan, a heavy burden of the crisis is being felt in the world's newest nation - South Sudan. From managing shelters for the growing number of refugees, to food security and ensuring continued education with limited resources – the country is navigating a complex web of challenges.

"You look...different 😬" my colleague said when I returned from the Rohingya refugee camp yesterday – not even trying to conceal a smirk at my thoroughly dishevelled post-camp appearance. The 90-minute air-conditioned car ride back to the office had cooled me down a bit, but it had done nothing to fix my shiny face, messy hair, and dust-covered, rumpled clothes. Camp days can be tough. We make our way through crowded neighbourhoods, wait around in the burning sun, and sometimes crouch, run, jump, stand on one leg, or hang from signposts just to get that perfect shot. But still, when field tasks are to be divided among the team, every single one of us is quick to raise our hands. We love going there, not just to produce content but also to meet people, be inspired by their stories, and be reminded of why we're here. That car ride back to Cox's Bazar is a great time to reflect on all the people who can't leave, spending the night in the sweltering heat under bamboo and tarpaulin. The refugee nurses standing ready at the hospitals to care for those felled by the heat. The volunteers going door to door checking up on people as temperatures soar. The firefighters on-call to respond if disaster strikes. It makes tangible the continued humanitarian support that is so urgently needed to ensure the safety and well-being of the refugees here in Cox’s Bazar, and why we cannot slack in ensuring the world pays attention to the Rohingya Refugee Crisis. Sunburns and sweaty brows aside, the best days here in Bangladesh are the days we get to make content that reminds the world that nearly one million refugees are still waiting to return home, and that we have a duty of care toward them. https://lnkd.in/gfnVSyBC

#Benue State, known as the food basket of Nigeria, faces a dire situation where thousands of its people remain displaced, unable to return to their homes and access their farmlands, schools, and livelihoods. Without addressing this issue, all efforts towards sustainable #foodsecurity and #peace in the region will fall short. The state has set up the Benue State International Cooperation & Development Unit to enable a conducive environment to attract and synergize efforts of development stakeholders, aiming to bring lasting solutions to this problem. The United Nations can do more! #BenueState
