Today is #Tsunami Awareness Day. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), "more than 700 million people live in low-lying coastal areas and Small Island Developing States" and are vulnerable to tsunami hazards. Fortunately, new advances like SMART cables may be able to help lessen this risk by providing advanced warning of tsunamis to at-risk populations around the world. https://lnkd.in/exMDRJFj #TsunamiAwarenessDay

Stop the madness! The Gazans are physically weak by now and have realistically nowhere to evacuate to. To prevent further suffering, Israel could just open its borders and let the forcibly displaced Gazan civilians evacuate to Israel. It could this way "easily" follow the gist of the UNSC and the ICJ resolutions by creating a proper humanitarian solution which nevertheless includes achieving its military goal of fully dismantling Hamas. This instead of in the end possibly evacuating people to Egypt, adding them to the millions of displaced Palestinians and their decedents outside of Palestine. Practically, it means setting-up temporary Blue Helmets/UN peace force controlled and UNHCR managed refugee camps in Israel. This way, the IDF could dismantle their "military targets" in Gaza without causing any further" collateral damage". To relocate people elsewhere in Gaza is no option any longer, there is nothing left and it is much more difficult to supply humanitarian aid to an area destroyed by war. Israel is actually a very safe zone with a high likelihood for the Gazans to be able to return home as soon as Gaza becomes inhabitable again (currently it is no longer). Gaza and the Palestinians belong to Palestine and no-one outside is waiting for another exodus. www.pax.ngo
#Rafah hosts 3 of the 8 operational UNRWA health centres in the #GazaStrip. Any military offensive would substantially increase mortality and morbidity and further weaken an already broken health system.

The link between food insecurity and violent conflict is clear. War negatively affects food production and distribution, increasing instability and violence. Climate change and system breakdown worsen food insecurity, requiring a comprehensive approach to address these issues.
