The incident occurred in the center of Gaza on Sunday, according to the media, which indicated that four other people also lost their lives due to the Israeli air strike.

The Israeli army said it was targeting a terrorist, but a “technical error” saw the ammunition moving away.

Maintain child protection

Unicef General manager Catherine Russell noted that the incident came only a few days after several women and children were killed while arguing nutritional supplies.

“” Israeli authorities must urgently review the rules of engagement and ensure full compliance with international humanitarian lawin particular the protection of civilians, including children ”, it wrote In a press release published on X.

The UN has repeatedly deplored the murder of Palestinians in search of food aid in the midst of the disastrous humanitarian situation in Gaza, where food security experts have warned that the whole population, some 2.1 million people, is not enough to eat.

The risk of famine remains, according to Unicef. In June, more than 5,800 children received a diagnosis of malnutrition, including more than 1,000 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition, representing an increase in the fourth consecutive month.

Food stocks available

Meanwhile, “food and medical supplies are waiting in warehouses” just outside the enclave, the UN Palestine refugee agency UNRWA said in A tweet.

He included a quote from one of his health workers who said that “in the past, I have only seen such cases of malnutrition in textbooks and documentaries. Today, I treat them face to face in the health center. ”

UNRWA called for civilians to end and the seat is lifted.

“” Leave the UN, including a UNRWA, do its rescue work“Said the tweet.

The small quantities of aid and critical supplies that have entered Gaza so far are far from sufficient to meet the immense needs, the United Nations Humanitarian Affairs Bureau, Ochhasaid on Monday later.

He asked Israel to enable the urgent entry to aid at scale via all possible routes and corridors.

The head of the agency, Philippe Lazzarini, said on Monday at an international conference in Switzerland that “the annexation was well advanced”.

UNRWA said: “It is not only destruction: it is part of a systematic forced displacement, a violation of international law and a form of collective punishment.”

In January, Israeli forces launched operations in Tulkarm and Jenin in the West Bank, which, according to UNRWA, said before being the most extensive in two decades.

Humanitarian reported last week that operations cause massive destruction and displacement while attacks by Israeli settlers have intensified.

The high levels of violence continue, OCHA signaling that two Palestinian men, including an American national, had been killed near Ramallah on Friday during a settlers’ attack.

Overall, more than 700 settlers’ attacks were recorded in the West Bank in the first half of this year. More than 200 communities were affected, mainly in the governors of Ramallah, Nablus and Hebron

The injectable Lénacapavir – Len, to be short – is a very effective antiretroviral alternative with prolonged action to daily oral pills and other shorter action options, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

“While a HIV vaccine remains elusive, Lénacapavir is the next best thing: a long -lasting antiretroviral shown in trials to prevent almost all HIV infections among people at risk”, “ said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Managing Director.

Advantage of the test kit

WHO support for injectable drugs is important because HIV prevention efforts are stagnating around the world.

To facilitate the reception of the injection near his home, the United Nations agency also recommends the use of rapid test kits for the diseaseIn contrast to “complex and costly procedures”.

According to the agency, 1.3 million people contracted HIV in 2024; The most affected people were sex workers, men who have sex with men, transgender people, people who inject drugs, people in prisons and children and adolescents.

“Who is committed to working with countries and partners to ensure that this innovation reaches communities so quickly and safely,” insisted Tedros, in the comments during the 13th International AIDS Society conference (IAS 2025) on HIV Science, in Kigali, Rwanda.

The recommendation for Len also complies with the American health authorities who approved it in June.

Call for implementation

Although access to LEN injection remains limited today outside of clinical trials, which has urged governments, donors and partners to integrate the “immediately” in the national HIV prevention programs.

Other HIV prevention options supported by WHO include daily oral tablets, an injectable cabogravir – which is injected once every two months – and the vaginal ring of Dapivirin, as part of an increasing number of tools to end the HIV epidemic.

Financing dilemma

In the middle of Massive financing cuts on global effort to put an end to HIV – including the main program of the American government launched in 2003, Pepfar, focusing on the fight against disease in Africa – which has also published new Operational guidance On how to maintain priority HIV services.

“We have the tools and knowledge necessary to put an end to aid … What we need now is the daring implementation of these recommendations, based on equity and fueled by communities”, ” said Dr. Meg Doherty, director of the HIV department, hepatitis and IST programs, director of science, research, evidence and health quality.

HIV remains a major global public health problem.

At the end of 2024, around 40.8 million people lived with HIV with around 65% in Africa. About 630,000 people died of HIV in the world and around 1.3 million people have acquired HIV, including 120,000 children.

More positively, access to HIV drugs continues to develop, with 31.6 million people receiving treatment in 2024, compared to 30.3 million a year earlier. Without antiretroviral drugs, the HIV virus attacks the body’s immune system, ultimately leading to the start of AIDS.

The threatened or real rate increases are largely focused on taxation of imports to the United States and will make products made by factories outside the country more expensive-a situation that could lower demand.

THE Ilo‘s Best work Program, a partnership with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) supported clothing factories, many of which export their products to the United States.

The Sara Park of the ILO explained to UN News Which could then happen.

Sara Park: Better Work currently operates in the clothing, textiles and shoes in 13 countries around the world.

It was created 24 years ago in Cambodia to monitor working conditions in clothing factories and has since focused on improving and strengthening the capacities of factories and our constituencies in the sector, for example safety and health at work.

There are other elements that support the sector to promote social dialogue, safe and decent work that includes fair wages and working hours. The program has also contributed to strengthening productivity in these sectors.

UN news: How is the ILO involved?

Sara Park: The ILO is a tripartite organization, so we work with governments, employers, unions that represent workers, generally the ministries of labor, but also with the Ministries of Commerce or Commerce because the program focuses on exports.

But what makes us different from other projects is that we have a very close collaboration with the major brands of the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and Japan to promote responsible commercial practices.

UN news: To what extent did this program succeed?

Sara Park: Our studies show that at the factory level, we have had a significant impact, for example by increasing wages and supporting problems related to gender equality, the empowerment of women and women obtaining more roles of supervision.

During the quarter -century of its existence, better work withdrew millions of people from poverty and reduced the environmental impact of the clothing sector by creating decent work in sustainable companies.

It is always difficult for unions because freedom of association remains a great challenge.

If you try to develop an entire industry and make it competitive, it takes years, even decades; However, we have seen improvements in the factories where we work.

Better factories registered at work also reported an increase in buyers’ orders.

UN news: So, is it good for business too?

Sara Park: It’s good for business and productivity in individual factories. Governments also tell us that the program supports confidence and therefore the growth of industry as a whole in participating countries.

UN news: How has better work been affected by recent world changes in development financing?

Sara Park: As we know by recent developments, the US government has reduced funding and affected our programs in Haiti and Jordan, which was almost entirely funded by the United States. The other countries have not been affected because we are fortunate to have very diverse funding.

UN news: Why is the continuous support of the ILO necessary once the relationship between the factory and the buyer is configured?

Sara Park: Buyers, who are often well -known companies, need a sustainable means of monitoring working conditions to ensure that they comply with international labor standards; This is important to eliminate the risks from the point of view of buyers.

The Better Work program supports improvements in factories, by performing assessments, advisory and learning sessions and helps all parties to better understand compliance with standards. He also works with governments, workers and employers to strengthen capacity.

UN news: Currently, there is generalized uncertainty about prices, the imposition of imported goods, especially in the United States. How is the clothing sector affected?

Sara Park: For the moment, we do not know what the impact will be. Governments monitor the situation. Employers and, of course, unions are worried.

It is extremely difficult for factories, because uncertainty means that they cannot plan even in the short term, because they do not know what orders they will have. They are also concerned about the payment of workers.

Better factories registered at work mainly provide jobs in the formal sector; If they close, these jobs can go through the informal sector where workers have fewer protections.

In countries like Jordan, for example, migrants constitute the majority of the workforce in the clothing industry, most of them come from South and Southeast Asia.

UN news: How does this uncertainty have an impact on investment in the world clothing industry?

Sara Park: During periods of crisis or uncertainty, the investment generally stops. One of the concerns is that factories stop investing in improving working conditions, which could affect safety and health at work.

For example, thermal stress is a serious problem. Recently, in Pakistan, temperatures have reached 50 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to take measures to protect workers. This may not happen if the investment dries up.

UN news: How about a worker of the clothes who worried about his work?

Sara Park: We understand that this is a concern for many workers. However, the work of the ILO continues to ensure that workers are protected and that the ILO remains in these countries and undertakes to improve the conditions of all workers in different sectors.

We will continue to promote social dialogue, because this is how improvements can be made at the factory, the sector and national.
