Play Video: Occupied Palestinian Territory, Syria & other topics Daily Press Briefing | United Nations

Noon briefing by Stephanie Tremblay, Associate Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: - Press Conference in January - Occupied Palestinian Territory - Syria - Syria/Independent Mechanism - Lebanon - Myanmar - South Sudan - Senior Personnel Appointment Press Conference in January On January 2nd, there will be a press conference by the Permanent Mission of Algeria. The Permanent Representative, Ambassador Amar Bendjama, will be here to discuss the Security Council’s Programme of Work for January. Algeria will take over the Presidency of the Security Council for the month. Occupied Palestinian Territory Tom Fletcher, the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, said today in a statement that the sustained intensity of violence means there is nowhere safe for civilians in Gaza. Schools, hospitals, and civilian infrastructure have been reduced to rubble. Yesterday, increased fighting by Israeli forces in North Gaza - particularly in western Beit Hanoun - has forced many people, mostly women and children, into displacement. Direct gunfire was reported on Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya as bombing around the compound continued. In a social media post over the weekend, Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, the Director-General of the World Health Organization, said that the reports of bombardment near Kamal Adwan Hospital and orders to evacuate the hospital are deeply worrisome, adding that the hospital has been in the middle of fighting for too long and the lives of patients are at risk. OCHA reiterates that civilians and civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, must be protected. Despite the active fighting and Israeli access restrictions to North Gaza governorate, OCHA said that two UN-led humanitarian missions successfully managed to enter the besieged areas in North Gaza on December 20th. The first mission reached Beit Hanoun and delivered food and bottled water to besieged people. The second mission, led by WHO, went to Kamal Adwan Hospital to deliver 5,000 litres of fuel, 100 blood units, and transferred eight patients and 13 companions to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. These were the only two missions approved out of the eight missions requested by the UN to access North Gaza between 18th and 22nd December. In Gaza governorate, our humanitarian colleagues report that, today, the Israeli authorities issued another evacuation order for part of A-Shuja’iyeh and Tarkman neighbourhoods in west Gaza, exposing civilians to further hostilities and depriving them of access to essential services. The impacted areas cover an estimated one square kilometre. The UN partners are closely monitoring the situation in these areas and will provide further update on forced displacement. For its part, the World Food Programme tells us that on 22 December, a joint UN convoy of 66 trucks departed the Kerem Shalom crossing via the Philadelphi Corridor to deliver food and non-food items to central Gaza. Syria On Syria, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says that fuel shortages are affecting essential activities in parts of the country. In Aleppo governorate for instance, six public hospitals and 60 primary health centres are operating only partially due to fuel and power shortages. Partners also report that damage to bridge infrastructure connecting Damascus to other key parts of the country is impacting the logistics chain. Despite the challenges, we and our partners continue to support the response as security permits. We are distributing food assistance, including bread, ready-to-eat rations, hot meals and food baskets. In north-west Syria, partners have also started supporting farmers, including with cash grants. Nutrition interventions are ongoing across the country. Since December 2nd, at least 63 cases of wasting and 18 malnutrition cases have been identified among children and admitted for treatment. In north-east Syria, the situation remains dire for the 40,000 people staying in 215 emergency collective centres. The security situation is volatile and hampering humanitarian operations, however partners have been able to distribute winter kits, blankets and winter clothes but more is needed and there is also a critical need for additional winter support for host communities. Partners have not been able to access Menbij and Kobani for two weeks due to insecurity. Meanwhile, partners reported Israeli airstrikes in Latakia, as well as incursions in southern governorates, with civilian infrastructure destruction.

Play Video: House Ethics report finds evidence Gaetz paid thousands for sex and drugs

The House Ethics Committee found evidence that former Rep. Matt Gaetz paid tens of thousands of dollars to women for sex or drugs on at least 20 occasions, including paying a 17-year-old girl for sex in 2017, according to a final draft of the panel’s report on the Florida Republican, obtained by CNN. The committee concluded in its bombshell document that Gaetz violated Florida state laws, including the state’s statutory rape law, as the GOP-led panel chose to take the rare step of releasing a report about a former member who resigned from Congress. Gaetz has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and has pointed to the Justice Department declining to bring charges against him in 2023. In a statement Gaetz released on X last week after CNN reported that the committee had voted to release the report, Gaetz denied having sex with a minor or paying women for sex. “In my single days, I often sent funds to women I dated - even some I never dated but who asked. I dated several of these women for years,” Gaetz said. “It’s embarrassing, though not criminal, that I probably partied, womanized, drank and smoked more than I should have earlier in life. I live a different life now.” #CNN #News

Play Video: South Korea organises speed dating to tackle country's low fertility and marriage rates | BBC News

Falling marriage and birth rates have long been an issue in South Korea. Despite the recent rise in matchmaking services, the numbers remain at record lows so the government is now hosting its own. In 2023, the number of marriages was 40% lower compared to a decade ago. The country’s total fertility rate - the average number of children a woman will have in her reproductive years - hit an all-time low of 0.72, the lowest in the world. Experts attribute these figures to South Korea's long working hours, which in 2017 were the second highest globally after Mexico. Poor work-life balance, high housing prices and costly childcare also make it challenging for women to return to work after childbirth.

German authorities are facing questions about security and what they knew about the suspect accused of driving a car into Magdeburg Christmas market. Five people were killed and more than 200 were left injured following the attack, with the suspect said to have used an access lane for emergency vehicles to enter the market. On a visit on Saturday, politicians were heckled by members of the public, some seemingly outraged by what was criticised as a security lapse.

Play Video: Saudi Officials Warned German Authorities About Magdeburg Attack

German authorities have admitted they received warnings last year about a suspect involved in a car attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg that left five people dead and over 200 injured. Saudi officials had alerted Germany months ago about a potential threat involving Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen. Officials reportedly flagged his extremist views and recent travel patterns, raising security concerns. German authorities acknowledged the warnings but decided they weren’t enough to take immediate action. Al-Abdulmohsen is a Saudi-born psychiatrist who moved to Germany in 2006. He established himself professionally but became increasingly vocal against Islamic regimes and German policies. He was also known for helping Saudi women escape to safer countries. In recent years, Al-Abdulmohsen expressed dissatisfaction with Germany’s immigration policies and refugee treatment.
