Just a reminder that since October, 90 per cent of Gaza’s population has been displaced, often many times. Each time their lives are upended, they are forced to start over again in areas that lack basic services. Seven months into the year, the $674 million Humanitarian Response Plan is only 25 percent funded, with $170 million received. This allocation will support urgent assistance and kick-start humanitarian response while further resources are being mobilized. This plan remains very underfunded: So far, only $313 million has been received, just 21 per cent of the total amount requested.

Houthis shutter UN human rights agency in SanaaAL-MUKALLA: Yemen’s Houthi militia has asked a UN human rights agency in Sanaa to close its office. The move comes amid an escalating crackdown on UN agencies and international organizations, according to a Yemeni government minister and local media. The Houthis intend to shut offices of foreign organizations that do not produce help or money, such as those for human rights, capacity-building and development groups,” Arman said. In May, the Houthis began surprise attacks on UN agencies, Western missions, and human rights and assistance groups in the regions they control.

On April 16, 2024, UN Special Representative for Libya Abdoulaye Bathily announced he would resign, citing a “lack of political will and good faith” among Libyan leaders. Few would disagree with his diagnosis that the vested interests of Libyan leaders have created a roadblock for progress. These events are sadly reflective of how recent years have represented a boon for Libyan kleptocrats who have found ways to prosper amid the Libyan state’s governance crisis. For proof of this, it is necessary to look at the leaders and interests at the heart of the discussions. The Dabaiba family’s vast wealth has been generated through the management of Libyan state funds that remain subject to investigation, and the expansion of spending under Dabaiba’s GNU has been connected to widespread corruption.

Chris Fearne, as then health minister, sacked Gafà from the Foundation for Medical Services where he had been officially placed.

They see Abela not governing as he promised, and the arrogance inside Labour is greater than it ever was with the PN towards the end of 2013.
