Play Video: Spain, Palestine, Lebanon & other topics - Daily Press Briefing (30 Oct 2024) | United Nations

Noon Briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: - Secretary-General/Colombia - Lebanon - Occupied Palestinian Territory - Haiti - Sudan - Floods in Spain - Security Council - Mpox - Noon Briefing Guest - Briefings Today - Briefings Tomorrow FLOODS IN SPAIN Images of the torrential rains that have caused severe floods in and around Valencia, in the south of Spain are devastating. The Secretary-General extends his condolences to the families of those who have lost their lives and expresses his full solidarity with the Government and the people of Spain. The UN stands ready to assist in whichever way it can. Valencia is hosts the UN Global Service Center base, which is an important logistics hub for the entire UN system. OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY Moving to Gaza, further to that situation, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is urging the Israeli authorities to urgently grant access for critical humanitarian activities in Jabalya, Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun in North Gaza. OCHA emphasizes the need for secure conditions to deliver aid and conduct rescue operations safely, given the ongoing military operations there. The UN and the humanitarian partners are set to urgently implement critical activities in those areas as soon as Israeli authorities reopen North Gaza. The Secretary-General is deeply shocked by reports of an Israeli air strike in Beit Lahia, in North Gaza that took place early yesterday reportedly left at least 90 Palestinians killed or missing, including at least 25 children. This tragic loss of life, he said particularly among vulnerable people, yet again underscores the devastating human impact of the ongoing conflict, which is intensifying in the north of Gaza. The Secretary-General unequivocally condemns the widespread killing and injury of civilians in Gaza and the ongoing displacement of the population. All parties to the conflict must comply with their obligations under international law, including the obligation to respect and protect civilians. This includes humanitarian workers and first responders, who play a vital role in mitigating suffering and providing life-saving assistance. The obstruction of their work only deepens the suffering of the population. Aid must flow freely and safely. The toll of the violence in Gaza is unconscionable. There must be an immediate ceasefire. And he reiterates once again his call for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. The time to stop the bloodshed is now. Also throughout October, we’ve noted that North Gaza governorate has been largely inaccessible, with very few exceptions, amid reports of high casualties, direct hits on overwhelmed medical facilities, and widespread family displacement and separation. OCHA also emphasizes the need for direct supply routes from Erez West to these areas, rather than routing all aid through Gaza City, which is the current imposed practice. Meanwhile, in the south, OCHA today visited two locations in Absan, east of Khan Younis, to assess the situation of displaced families. One was the Saudi Centre for Cultural and Heritage in Abasan Al Kabira, which provides mental health support for children, internet access for students, and operates a community kitchen for more than 500 families. The second location was in the Al Mharaba site, which hosts 2,000 people. At this site there are no health services, limited power and insufficient water facilities. LEBANON On the humanitarian front in Lebanon, a joint OCHA-UNICEF mission today delivered essential supplies to approximately 800 households in the village of Sarafand, in southern Lebanon. The supplies include water bottles, hygiene and dignity kits, water testers, children’s clothes and first aid kits. Also, today, a convoy by UNRWA delivered 5,000 liters of fuel for generators to ensure the operation of water wells and sanitation facilities in the Burj Shemali Palestinian Refugee Camp along the South Litani River. The situation continues to deteriorate amid escalating hostilities and displacement orders. Today, the Israeli army issued displacement orders for all residents of Baalbek city in the east of the country, to evacuate the entire city immediately. This prompted mass displacement and panic among residents. Strikes subsequently began after several hours. Displacement orders were also issued in several localities in Nabatieh, in the south. The Humanitarian Coordinator in Lebanon, Imran Riza, deplored the extensive harm inflicted on civilians and the destruction of critical infrastructure. He called for the violence to end immediately and reminded parties to the conflict that they must take all feasible precautions to avoid and minimize harm to civilians and civilian objects.

United Nations Video: Russian Federation: Human rights situation - Special Rapporteur | United Nations

Play Video: Russian Federation: Human rights situation - Special Rapporteur | United Nations

Press conference by Ms. Mariana Katzarova, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Russian Federation. --------------------------------- Mariana Katzarova, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Russian Federation said, “the aggressive war, the full-scale invasion against Ukraine” has exacerbated “the repression against civil society, against any antiwar expression inside the Russian Federation.” Special Rapporteur spoke to reporters Tuesday (29 Oct) in New York, describing instances of Russian citizens, soldiers, and critics who resist the war facing severe punishment, ranging from beatings to torture. Katzarova said, “Russian soldiers who decide, or officers who decide, already in Ukraine, that they don't want to follow criminal orders, they do not want to participate in the war, they have been subjected to despicable torture in so called “zindans” pits in the ground, or they have been suspended from trees without water, without food while they've been severely beaten. Some has been shot in the back while trying to escape the war zone.” The clampdown has also extended to Russian journalists covering the conflict, with Katzarova detailing how authorities have detained more than 30 reporters. She said, “there are rules of war, but when the authorities of any country, and here we're talking about the Russian government, starts hunting down journalists on assignment, this shows a desperation by the authorities to really cover up, to silence the truth about the aggressive war in its third year against Ukraine.” Katzarova estimated that over 1,300 people are currently detained as political prisoners, though some NGOs place the number above 1,700. Among these cases, she pointed to a young poet, arrested after reading an anti-war poem publicly in Moscow, who was reportedly gang-raped by police officers in detention. Despite the poet’s request for an investigation, Katzarova said, “the judge turned a blind eye.” Other dissenters, including prominent activist Vladimir Kara-Murza, have received lengthy prison terms for speaking out. Kara-Murza was sentenced to 25 years for “publishing three articles and delivering two speeches against the war.” His recent release as part of a prisoner exchange is an exception in Russia, Katzarova emphasized. Beyond political repression, Katzarova highlighted the troubling status of marginalized groups in Russia, particularly the LGBTQ+ community, which was labeled “extremist” by Russia’s Supreme Court last year, criminalizing expressions of LGBTQ+ identity and symbols. She said, “if you allow yourself to wear the rainbow flag, you are promoting the symbols of extremist organization.” Katzarova also condemned Russia’s tolerance of other severe human rights abuses, including the prevalence of female genital mutilation (FGM) in regions like Dagestan, a practice that remains legal in the country. "Russia is a signatory to the UN Convention Against Torture, which mandates torture be criminalized under national law," she stated, noting that domestic violence and torture remain unaddressed by Russian legislation. "There is no law in Russia outlawing domestic violence, nor any distinct criminal offense of torture in Russian legislation,” said the Special Rapporteur. Following her UN briefing, Katzarova joined a meeting with public and grassroots organizations, hosted by the German Mission, where Vladimir Kara-Murza, now free, also addressed attendees. Speaking later with UN News, Kara-Murza said, “I believe it's vitally important that now, for the first time ever, there is a specific mandate holder within the United Nations system tasked with documenting human rights violations in the Russian Federation. This is the first time ever that such a mandate holder has been appointed with responsibility for a permanent member of the UN Security Council, and that alone speaks volumes about the horrendous state of Vladimir Putin's Russia.”

At least 72 people have died in the south-east of Spain, where flash flooding has caused “enormous destruction”. Rescue teams are working to find those feared missing, but damage to infrastructure has made some communities hard to access. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez promised residents in affected areas that they would not be abandoned, and announced a three-day mourning period. There has also been criticism of the civil protection agency - which is deployed during natural disasters - as it did not issue an alert until 20:15 local time on Tuesday, when the flooding had already caused a great deal of damage.
