SLAVERY
The Secretary-General spoke at the General Assembly event this morning commemorating the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade, which took place on Saturday.
The Secretary-General said that the history of racialized chattel slavery is a history of suffering, crime, violence, and exploitation. But, he added, it is also a history of awe-inspiring courage that shows human beings at their best – starting with enslaved people who rose up against impossible odds and extending to the abolitionists who spoke out against this atrocious crime.
Mr. Guterres said that it is incumbent on us all to fight slavery’s legacy of racism. Governments everywhere should introduce lessons into school curricula on the causes, manifestations, and far-reaching consequences of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. We must learn and teach the horrific history of slavery, he said. Farhan
SYRIA
In Syria, since last month’s earthquakes, more than 1,070 trucks have crossed into the northwest of the country from southern Türkiye, carrying aid provided by seven UN agencies.
UN staff have completed 37 cross-border missions to the northwest since the first inter-agency visit to Idleb on February 14th.
In Government areas, the United Nations and humanitarian partners continue to help remove debris. Technical support was provided to committees assessing the damage in the governorates of Idlib, Aleppo and Latakia.
So far, the UN and partners have carried out safety assessments of nearly 3,700 schools and set up 8 temporary learning spaces in shelters and community centres. The United Nations and partners have provided 185,000 ready-to-eat meals and 785,000 hot meals to people affected by the earthquakes.

UN WATER CONFERENCE
At 4:30 pm, the Secretary-General will deliver remarks at the closing of the UN 2023 Water Conference.
He is expected to reiterate that our hopes depend on bringing to life the Water Action Agenda forged this week, adding that this means game-changing, inclusive and action-oriented commitments to put safe, secure, sustainably and smartly managed water and sanitation within reach of every person on earth.
UKRAINE
The UN, the World Bank, the European Union and the Government of Ukraine launched yesterday afternoon the second Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment. It shows that after a full year of war, direct damage to infrastructure and people’s lives is calculated at more than $135 billion and social and economic losses amount to $290 billion.
Over the past 6 months the UN has produced more than 20 sectoral assessments in partnership with line ministries that informed these calculations. Housing, energy and the social sector are priorities for recovery and reconstruction, as well as addressing the damages and losses to the agricultural sector, which alone is estimated at $40 billion. According to the assessment, 80 per cent of this amount is related to productive loss in the agricultural sector and caused by destroyed equipment and mined farming land.
Also on Ukraine, today the UN Human Rights Office released two reports. One on the human rights monitoring mission in Ukraine and the other on the treatment of prisoners of war. These reports are available online.
TÜRKIYE/SYRIA
In Türkiye, the UN and its partners continue to support the Government-led response to last month’s earthquakes.
To date, UN agencies and humanitarian partners have reached nearly 535,000 people with shelter support. The International Organization for Migration estimates that 3 million people were displaced by the earthquakes in Türkiye.
About 1.7 million people are living in informal settlements, some of which lack proper water and sanitation services. Approximately 1.4 million people have received water, sanitation and hygiene support – and about 47,000 people have been provided with health services.
There are more than 345 organizations on the ground distributing hot meals to about 1.25 million people every day.
We urgently need additional funding to help more than 5 million people affected by the earthquakes in Türkiye. As of today, our flash appeal is about 20 percent funded.
And in Syria, the UN and its humanitarian partners continue to scale up our response in earthquake-affected areas across the country.
As of today, 1,035 trucks carrying humanitarian aid from seven UN agencies have crossed into northwest Syria from southern Türkiye, via the three available border crossings.
Our humanitarian partners in Al-Hassakeh and Ar-Raqqa governorates say flooding has damaged the tents of 270 families in collective shelters and informal settlements. At least 100 other families were also affected by the recent rains, with some having to temporarily relocate.
Affected families are receiving emergency ready-to-eat rations, mobile medical services, and other items from our humanitarian partners.

Global Video: Mummering: Newfoundland's unique holiday tradition comes roaring back
This past weekend in St. John’s Newfoundland, hundreds of people hit the streets for the Atlantic province’s annual Mummers Parade.
As part of this festive tradition, people gather up old clothes that have been lying around the house –tablecloths and oversized shirts are a favourite – and assemble a “mummer’s rig” or costume.
Originally, mummering was a house-visiting tradition. It first appeared in Newfoundland and Labrador in the 1800’s, though the practice dates back much further than that. Mummers would visit their neighbours in disguise, looking for beer and a bite to eat.
Alyssa Julie has more on the history of mummering - and the dark parts of its past.

Global Video: Breast cancer survivors say issues like early menopause, loss of identity often overlooked
Just days ahead of her 40th birthday, Hilary Boswell received a terrifying diagnosis – She had breast cancer.
She received a unilateral mastectomy, a surgery she didn’t necessarily want but felt pressured into by her surgeon. It left her with one breast and, she says, it changed the way she saw herself.
“I remember struggling so much with the idea of walking around with one boob,” she said. “I just really felt like I knew what I wanted… and yeah, I wish I had done it, “ she added, referring to a double mastectomy.
Like Boswell, other cancer survivors sometimes struggle to accept the changes brought on by surgery or chemotherapy – such as early menopause, or loss of libido. And they don’t always get the support they need.
As Alyssa Julie reports in our series Against all Odds, some survivors and experts are asking health professionals to shed more light on the impact of a cancer diagnosis on the body and the mind.

Global Video: Outside the margins: BIPOC and LGBTQ2 breast cancer patients rewrite the narrative
People from racialized and 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities are underrepresented in the institution of cancer care, and they’re slipping through the cracks because of it.
“I really felt like my issues didn’t matter. And I didn’t feel confident in making a decision about a life-changing surgery because I didn’t see myself represented,” said Michelle Audoin, the founder of Uncovered: A Breast Recognition Project. “The fact that I didn’t see myself in this space and my questions weren’t being addressed, it led to depression.”
For breast cancer, a reproductive cancer, the disparity can be especially apparent for the latter group. One thing is clear: it’s time to rewrite the narrative of what a typical cancer survivor looks like.
To do so, members of the community across Canada are fighting against these gaps, from diversifying what breast cancer looks like to writing a graphic memoir.

Global Video: "It's part of everybody's history": CNE's post-pandemic return revives multi-generational traditions
The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is back in Toronto after a two-year pandemic hiatus, and with its return, small businesses that struggled with the closure are back.
With revenue going from 100 to 0 when the Exhibition closed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, being back at the CNE this year is extra-special for patrons and especially the small family businesses passed down from generation to generation.
“As much as this is a generational business for me and a family business, it’s also something that is an experience that generations have gone to the CNE and enjoyed,” said Sam Scanga, owner of several food booths at the CNE he runs with his family, referring to attendees’ love of his Primo Spaghetti 1.99. "It's part of everybody's history."
Global's Alexia Kapralos and Katherine Cheng have some of their stories.
