“These injuries that change life represent a quarter of all the injuries reported, out of a total of more than 167,300 people injured since October 2023,” said Rik Peeperkorn, WHO Representative in the West Bank and Gaza.

More than 5,000 people faced an amputation and other serious injuries with arms, legs and spinal cord.

Briefing Journalists In New York by Video Link of Gaza, Dr. Peeperkorn detailed the generalized trauma needs, adding that dozens of rehabilitation workers have been killed, with installations close to the collapse.

” Currently Less than 14 of the 36 Gaza hospitals remain partially functionalWhile less than a third of the pre-conflict rehabilitation services work, several facing an imminent closure, “he said.

Speaker and trap

The maternity and childbirth services in the war enclave by the war were also seriously affected.

The United Nations Reproductive Health Agency, Unfpaesteem that 55,000 pregnant women are trapped in GazaAffirming the displacement, bombing, severe hunger and malnutrition.

About 130 babies are born daily, with more than a quarter delivered by the Cesarean section.

Estimates indicate each week in Gaza, at least 15 women give birth outside a health establishment without qualified help and around One in five newborn was born premature or suffering from low birth weight.

James Elder of the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) described the scene in Al Aqsa and Nasser hospitals: “There is a real level of fear and stress among the community here in Gaza City and in the South.

“Seeing a large number of mothers with newborns in the corridors, hospitals are simply overloaded due to the devastation of health care.”

Deep psychological impact

Conflict -related wounds also bear deep psychological scars.

“” Survivors fight with traumaThe daily loss and survival where psychosocial reference services remain rare, “said Dr. Peeperkorn, urging investment in rehabilitation linked to mental health and inclusive care for disabled people.

Who highlighted the urgent need of fuel, medical supplies, prostheses and assistance devices, as well as the protection of health workers. Another priority is medical evacuation.

More than 15,000 people, including 3,800 children, need specialized treatment outside Gaza.

“” We need many other countries to accept patientsAnd the restoration of the reference path of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, ”said Dr. Peeperkorn.

Trips continue

Meanwhile, humanitarian officials highlighted the wider crisis against civilians, with nowhere to go.

UN deputy spokesperson Farhan Haq said that more than 6,700 people had fled northern Gaza in the south within 10 hours on Wednesday, only adding more than 417,000 trips since mid-August.

“Families in the south of Gaza are pressed in these shelters and other overcrowded tents or makeshift tents along the coast. Many others were sleeping outdoors, often in the middle of rubble, “he said on a daily basis in New York.

“New arrivals in the South are faced with poor sanitation, without intimacy or security, and a high risk that children be separated from their family – while being exposed to explosive ammunition.”

Haiti faces one of the most serious food crises in the world that only worsen because of steep financing cuts to Wfp Rescue programs.

“We urge international partners to intensify to allow PAM and partners to provide not only vital emergency assistance, but also for Invest in programs concerning the deep causes of hunger,“Said Wanja Kaaria, agency director in Haiti.

PAM has indicated that armed groups now control almost 90% of the country’s capital, Port-au-Prince, leading to an increase in food prices for a population already faced with a serious food insecurity and obstructing farmers’ access to markets.

More than 16,000 killed

An amazing 1.3 million people, more than half of them, were forced to flee Their houses in search of food and shelters, says that WFP, while more than 16,000 people have been killed and around 7,000 injured since January 2022, according to UN Human Rights Head Volker Türk.

Violence spreads beyond the country’s capital and in neighboring regions-fertile land for more weapons, drugs and human trafficking, said Türk, in a update On the situation in Haiti at the Human Rights Council.

“More children are subject to trafficking, exploitation and forced recruitment by gangs,” he continued. “We can only imagine the long -term impact, for the children of Haiti and for society as a whole.”

“Make options and hope”

PAM requires $ 139 million for the next 12 months to reach Haiti’s most vulnerable families. Currently, funding deficits have forced the agency to suspend hot meals for newly moved families and Slash food rations in two.

For the first time, WFP did not pay food stocks to respond to a disaster linked to the climate during the Atlantic Hurricane season due to the lack of resources.

” Today, More than half of all Haitians do not have enough to eat“Said Ms. Kaaria.” With our current financing levels, PAM and partners find it difficult to maintain famine remotely for thousands of the most vulnerable children – mothers, whole families who lack options and hope. »»

Despite the challenges, WFP has reached more than two million people in need since January 2022 and has worked with the Haitian government to provide school meals to thousands of students, among other aid.

State violence

In his update, Türk expressed his concern that the security forces supported by the Haitian government have been responsible for certain “unnecessary and disproportionate deadly force” in their fight against gangs.

Until now, more than half of the murders and injuries have been in the hands of the state authorities, with 174 people executed for affiliations of alleged gangs.

The government has also used explosive or attack drones, in order to purge the capital of armed groups – which is “probably illegal under international human rights law” – Kill at least 559 people in mid-September.

New force supported by the Security Council

A new Gang suppression force (GSF) of more than 5,000 armed staff members to neutralize gangs and protect the population was authorized earlier this week by the UN Security advice.

But the details of the way it will be funded and which countries will provide troops have not yet been finalized. Read our explanator on how the GSF takes shape, here.

The alleged striker also died after being killed by the police. Three others are in serious condition following the car and stabbing in the Heaton Park synagogue in the city of the north of English.

Odious assault on Yom Kippour

“The worship houses are sacred places where people can go to find peace,” said UN chief António Guterres, in a declaration published by his spokesperson.

“Targeting a synagogue on Yom Kippour, the most holy day of the Jewish calendar, is particularly odious. »»

Video sequences from the outside of the building-which are approximately four kilometers north of the city center in a district with a large Jewish community-have shown that the attacker lying on the ground after being killed by police police from the Grand Manchester.

According to police, two arrests were made concerning the incident. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said additional police will be deployed in Jewish worship houses across the country.

Alarm on the increase in anti -Semitism

Yom Kippour, also known as the expiation day, is devoted to repentance, reflection and search for forgiveness. Many worshipers spend much of the day in synagogue with special prayers to open and close what is a day of fasting.

The Secretary-General practiced his largest condolences to the victims and their families in Manchester and beyond, wishing rapid recovery to the injured.

“” He is united with the Jewish community and calls on the officials to be brought to justice“Continued the declaration.

“” The secretary general is deeply concerned about the alarming rise in anti -Semitism in the world and underlines the urgent need to confront hatred and intolerance in all their forms. “”

The high representative of the United Nations which serves as a focal point to monitor anti -Semitism, Ángel Moratinos, published a statement Underline that worship houses should be places “where the faithful find comfort and peace, not terror and fear.”

While the senior official striving to improve an answer on the system scale, he reiterated his determination “to continue standing and denounces all acts of anti -Semitism”.

Mr. Moritanos was also appointed UN special envoy to fight against Islamophobia in May this year.

“El Fasher is on the precipice of an even larger disaster If urgent measures are not taken to loosen the armed defect on the city and protect civilians, “he said.

RSF reports deployment of long -range drones in southern Darfur have increased fears of an escalation in the coming days.

Catalog of killings

Between September 19 and 29, at least 91 civilians were killed in artillery bombings, drone strikes and ground incursions. The attacks have targeted civil infrastructure, which raises fears that the objective is a forced displacement, including the Abu Shouk camp for PDI.

The districts housing the displaced in and around the last city held by the Darfur government have been struck several times.

On September 19, a drone strike on a mosque killed at least 67 civilians, while two attacks hit a market in Daraja Oula last week. On September 30, credible reports indicated that 23 civilians were killed when a community cuisine in the Abu Shouk district was bombed.

Türk stressed that civilians who stay in El Fasher – including the elderly, disabled and chronic people – must be protected.

A safe passage must be given

“” The secure and voluntary passage of civilians must be assured of El Fasher and throughout their movement along the key exit routes And the control points controlled by various armed actors, “he said, citing persistent reports of executions, torture, removal and looting.

He warned against a risk of abuse of motivation ethnically similar to those reported during the RSF offensive on the Zamzam camp In April, when sexual violence targeted Zaghawa’s women and girls. He also called for “immediate and unhindered access” for humanitarian aid, as residents are faced with the decline in food, water and health care.

“While essential supplies decrease daily and prices soar, the recent attack on one of the few remaining community kitchens will further decrease what remains of the right to food,” said Türk.

“Non -inevitable” atrocities

He renewed his call for the lifting of the siege, and humanitarian access ensured.

“” The atrocities are not inevitable; They can be avoided if all actors take concrete measures To confirm international law, demand respect for life and civilian goods and prevent the commission continues crimes of atrocity, “he said.

The tremor hit the coast of Bogo City at 9:59 p.m. on Tuesday, September 30, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivavolcs) signaling a superficial depth of about 10 kilometers.

Residents said the earthquake had sent people to flee on the street. A tsunami warning was briefly issued and lifted later in the early hours of Wednesday.

Victims and damage

The number of deaths increased to 72 after the end of research and rescue operations on Wednesday, according to the media.

More than 200 people were injured in Bogo, Medellin and San Remigio. More than 111,000 people have been affected, including 20,000 displaced, many of which are camped outside their damaged houses or in open spaces as the aftershocks continue.

The coordination office of the UN, Ochha,, said that the Philippine authorities have declared the state of emergency in four municipalities, unlocking emergency funds for rescue efforts.

The government has also mobilized the intervention teams and set up a joint operations center.

The initial reports indicate generalized damage to houses, churches, schools, public buildings and transport infrastructure. At least two sea ports remain non -operational and several roads are partially blocked, annoying the delivery of aid.

Humanitarian partners also report urgent needs, including shelter, water and access.

They are preparing to distribute hygiene kits and water filtration units, while the United Nations International Organization for Migration (Iom) is on standby to support displaced families.

Pressure hospitals

The disaster has seriously had an impact on health services, the northern Cebu hospitals extended beyond the capacity and the emergency medical teams deployed by the neighboring provinces.

Saia Ma’u Piukala, Regional Director of the World Health Organization (WHO) Office of the Western Pacific, highlighted the impact.

“The number of deaths of the earthquake of September 30 in the province of Cebu has risen considerably.

“Our Philippine campaign office is there to support the government’s health response in any way necessary.”

Continuous replicas

More than 340 aftershocks have been recorded from the earthquake, going to magnitude 4.8. The authorities warn that the tremors could continue in the coming days.

The Philippines are on the so-called “fire ring” of the Pacific and is very subject to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and typhoons.

“The Philippines and many of our 37 other countries and regions Vulnerable to earthquakes and other disasters due to geography and, more and more, the climate crisis“Said regional director Piukala, urging continuous investment in preparation.

United Nations Solidarity

In a statementThe team of United Nations countries in the Philippines expressed “deeper sympathies and unwavering solidarity” with those affected, renting the first stakeholders, medical staff and volunteers.

The ZNPP underwent a complete loss of out -of -site power on September 23 after military activity in the surroundings, marking the 10th time that has happened since Russia launched its large -scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

“The largest nuclear power plant in Europe has been without external power for more than a week now, which is By far the most during such an event in more than three and a half years of war »» said Aiea Managing Director Rafael Mariano Grossi.

He currently operates on an emergency power which “is clearly not a lasting situation in terms of nuclear security,” he said, adding that “none of the parties would benefit from a nuclear accident”.

Damaged last power line

The ZNPP has been under Russian control since the first weeks of the conflict and the two parties accused the other of attacks which endanger the plant.

The last out-of-site electricity cut occurred last Tuesday afternoon when the remaining electricity line was damaged by military activity at around 1.5 km.

Emergency diesel generators (EDG) have automatically started to provide the power necessary for safety systems and to cool the six reactors as well as worn fuel.

The ZNPP is currently operating eight EDG. Nine additional units are in standby mode and three are in maintenance. Operating EDGs are alternated to serve some of the inactive and ensure continuous availability.

Repair efforts have embarrassed

The factory would have the staff and the spare parts necessary to repair the electric line, but this has not yet happened due to the nearby military activity.

Ukraine has expressed its preparation to repair a rescue electric line which has been disconnected since the beginning of May, but the military situation also prevented that this does not happen.

ZNPP reactors have been closed for more than three years now, resulting in cooling the nuclear fuel and reducing the amount of radioactive materials in the fuel.

Consequently, the nuclear security situation is not as dangerous as it would have been if the factory had still generated electricity, noted the IAEA.

However, in the case of a complete failure failure without out -of -site or emergency power, the nuclear fuel could melt if electricity could not be restored over time, which is why mobile diesel generators are also available.

Prevent a nuclear accident

“The current state of reactor and fuel units spent is stable as long as emergency diesel generators are able to provide enough power to maintain the functions and cooling linked to essential security,” said Grosi.

“Nevertheless, it is extremely important that the out-of-site power is restored,” he added.

“As I have said on several occasions, a nuclear accident is not interested in anyone and all efforts must be made to prevent this from happening.”

Development monitoring

The IAEA has maintained a presence at the ZNNP since September 2022.

His team continues to closely monitor the situation, receiving more frequent factory’s nuclear safety updates, including water cooling temperatures.

“Based on the factory information, we may conclude that emergency diesel generators have been able to reliably provide the power necessary to cool the nuclear fuel in the reactor nuclei and the fuel pools spent,” said Gnati.

The IAEA team has also been informed that the factory has fuel reserves for more than 10 days of operation.

Monitoring of radiation continues to show that there was no increase above normal levels, inside and outside the site.
