Two senior UN officials warned that the green light from the Israeli cabinet this week for a new offensive aimed at obtaining total military control of Gaza City – which is home to around a million Palestinians – would only risk “another horrible chapter” of travel, death and destruction.

Miroslav Jenča, deputy secretary general for Europe, Central Asia and the Americas, told ambassadors that the plan proposed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “defeat Hamas” and the creation of an alternative civil administration which is neither Hamas nor the Palestinian authority, risky ” yet another dangerous escalation“It would destabilize the whole region.

However, according to the Israeli media, the senior political affairs has continued, the Israeli plan provides for the movement of all civilians from Gaza City by October 7, affecting some 800,000 people – many previously displaced.

The reports indicate that the forces would then surround the city for three months. This would then be followed by an additional two months to take control of the central Gaza camps and eliminate the entire area of the Palestinian armed groups.

Calamitic plan

“” If these plans are implemented, they will probably trigger another calamity in Gaza, reverberating in the region and causing a forced displacement, murders and destruction more -aggravating the unbearable suffering of the population, “said Jenča, calling for a complete, immediate and permanent ceasefire, the unconditional and immediate release of all hostages and respect for international humanitarian law by Israel.

He said there was no military solution to put an end to the conflict adding that the planning of the Gaza future “while we are approaching the urgency of field developments today” is critical.

Jenča called to establish political and security frameworks to mitigate the humanitarian crisis, while starting the reinforcement and reconstruction efforts which respond to the legitimate concerns of the Israelis and the Palestinians – in accordance with the realization of a two -state solution.

United Palestine

“In a critical way, these executives must facilitate a legitimate Palestinian government which can bring together Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, politically, economically and administrative. »»

In addition, it must be made up of united leadership representing all of Palestine. He called the Palestinian authority to “Advance your declared objective to hold elections To this end.

‘It’s famine’: Rajasingham

Ramesh Rajashingham, responsible for humanitarian affairs, told ambassadors that hunger deaths already increased, before any new mass travel policy for Gaza City.

“Whatever the lines of life, collapse under the weight of supported hostilities, forced displacement and insufficient levels of vital aid.”

He said local authorities documenting the death of 98 children of acute serious malnutrition – 37 since July 1 – ” It is no longer a imminent Hunger crisis – it’s famine. “”

The head of the Humanitarian Affairs Coordination Office (Ochha) in Geneva, said that he was extremely concerned about “prolonged conflict and another human toll which should take place following the government’s decision to extend military operations to Gaza”.

“It marks a serious escalation in a conflict that has already inflicted unimaginable suffering.”

“Grim Jalon”

“A dark milestone has also been crossed in the humanitarian community,” he said, noting that more than 500 humanitarian workers have been killed in Gaza since hostilities have intensified, including at least 167 women. The smear campaigns against help operations continue tirelessly. “” As World Humanitarian Day approaches, we must insist on the protection of all“, He added.

States-all those who have an influence-must look in our bruised collective conscience and invoke the courage to do what is necessary to put an end to this inhuman and this pain, he said.

Civilians must be protected and hostages must be unconditionally released. The Palestinians arbitrarily detained must be released. Israel must accept and facilitate humanitarian aid operations, both in and inside the Gaza Strip, to reach the population in need.

THE International Court of Justice‘s (Icj)) Provisional measures in the case of the application of the Gaza Convention in Gaza remain in place, added the senior OCHA, including the demand that Israel has immediate and effective measures to allow the provision of necessary basic services and humanitarian aid.

Instead of having seeds that grow reliably, farmers face prizes that can only increase 40 or 50% of the time. This decreases not only their yield and their profit, but also decreases their ability to maintain their livelihoods.

The organization of food and agriculture (Fao) Works with the Ministry of Agriculture in Haiti to change this by locating the seed economy and the training of members of the banks of organized seeds called the artisanal seed production groups (GPA).

“We realized that most of the seeds were of dubious quality, that is to say that they were not adapted to certain climatic conditions … and as long as they are not well suited and are not of good quality, we will have a low production,” said a news, Pierrefrantz, a former farmer and one of the project leaders of FAO seed banks.

There are now more than 200 GPAs located in all Haiti, which cultivate high quality seeds to distribute to other farmers in order to increase farmers’ yields and reduce dependence on foreign seeds and food imports.

Especially today, these groups play an important role with more than half of the country faced with emergency food insecurity and with agricultural production threatened by armed violence due to the increase in the activity of gangs.

“GPA, providing quality seeds, contributes to improving agricultural productivity and food security in communities,” said Jacques.

A start in the middle of the disaster

About two thirds of the population of Haiti is based on agriculture for their livelihoods, most of them are small farmers. However, due to recent globalization forces, these farmers only produce 40% of Haiti’s food, creating an untenable food situation through which Haiti has become dependent on exports.

In recent decades, various FAO programs in Haiti have worked to support the production of seeds as an approach to reduce trade deficit. The GPAS program in particular was revitalized in 2010 following the catastrophic earthquake 7.0 which devastated Haiti and its agricultural sector.

THE United Nations Security Council meets in New York following the Israeli firm’s decision to extend its military operation again within the Gaza Strip and take total control of the Gaza City Population Center. The UN chief António Guterres described it as a “dangerous escalation” for the two million civilians trapped in the enclave as well as the remaining Israeli hostages still captive.
