The Action Days are an opportunity to elevate the voice of youth in the multilateral system. Youth are key participants in efforts to secure breakthroughs in global cooperation. Youth challenge conventional thinking, hold leaders to account and are focused on generations that come after us. Youth stand to lose the most if global leaders fail to fulfil their promises. The Action Days will kick off with a dedicated, youth-led afternoon facilitated by the United Nations Youth Office in close collaboration with relevant networks/stakeholder groups to generate momentum ahead of the mandated Summit. The day will be convened under the theme of “#YouthLead for the Future: We believe in the promise of a better world for all”.

Lebanon
Special Coordinator, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert has been in constant contact with all concerned actors to urge for restraint and calm as well as to support diplomatic efforts to end the cycle of violence urgently.
The UN continues to urge the parties to recommit to the full implementation of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006) and return to a cessation of hostilities to restore stability.
Security Council
Tor Wennesland, the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, briefed the Security Council by VTC this morning on the Secretary-General’s latest report on Security Council resolution 2334 (2016), which calls on Israel to “immediately and completely cease all settlement activity in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem” and to “fully respect all of its legal obligations in this regard.”
Settlement activity has, nevertheless, continued, the Special Coordinator said.
Mr. Wennesland informed the Council that the Secretary-General reported that the level of suffering witnessed in Gaza is unprecedented in his mandate as Secretary-General of the United Nations. To address the colossal humanitarian needs and improve the intolerable conditions of civilians, the Secretary-General said, Israel must fully open all crossings into Gaza.
It must also facilitate the immediate, safe, and unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance at scale directly to the Palestinian civilian population throughout the Gaza Strip, in accordance with its obligations under international humanitarian law.
Mr. Wennesland began by expressing his grave concern over the growing risk of a widescale regional escalation. The series of explosions across Lebanon and rockets fired toward Israel in recent days adds to the volatility. He calls on all sides to refrain from steps that will further worsen the situation and take immediate steps to deescalate.
Occupied Palestinian Territory
On Gaza, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says that as of 15 September, there were 15 Emergency Medical Teams supporting local health workers, including three in northern Gaza. So far in 2024, 37 Emergency Medical Teams embedded in hospitals throughout the Strip have provided over 1.4 million consultations.
However, due to obstacles hindering the entry of humanitarian aid in Gaza, the backlog of health supplies and equipment waiting to enter continues to grow, while health facilities within the Gaza Strip are facing increasingly severe supply shortages. Public health-care facilities in southern Gaza are reporting an over 70 per cent shortage of critical medical items.
The UN’s health partners say that the waiting list for the medical evacuation of critically ill and injured patients out of Gaza continues to grow due to the lack of a systematic referral mechanism.
As of 12 September, out of more than 14,000 patients for whom medical evacuation has been requested since October 2023, just over 5,000 - or 35 per cent - have been evacuated abroad. Only 219 patients were allowed to leave Gaza by Israeli authorities since the closure of the Rafah Crossing in May 2024.
Meanwhile, with the approaching cold and rainy weather, shelter partners report that they are unable to import enough material to provide sufficient protection from wind, rain or flooding. Access constraints continue to limit the entry of shelter items entering Gaza.
Partners are trying to find ways to maximize the response such as prioritizing the entry of sealing-off kits over tents, since more of these can be transported on a single truck. But this is the bare minimum and insufficient to match the needs of repeatedly displaced families.
Humanitarian partners also finalized a preliminary mapping of displacement sites which may face flooding during the approaching winter season. 38 makeshift and 13 scattered sites in the Khan Younis, Deir al Balah, and the northern governorates are deemed likely to experience flooding with varying degrees of intensity.
Once again, OCHA reiterates that it is critical that humanitarian organizations can reach all parts of Gaza, wherever they are needed.

Antibiotics have been hailed as a "miracle drug" since the discovery of penicillin in 1928. But now, more bacteria are developing resistance to antibiotics, making them difficult or nearly impossible to treat. One recent study (https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/16/health/antibiotic-resistant-superbug-infections-2050-wellness/index.html) estimated that these so-called “superbugs” could cause nearly 40 million deaths worldwide between now and 2050. Dr. Sanjay Gupta speaks to researchers exploring the use of naturally occurring viruses that destroy bacteria, to see if they can be used as an alternative treatment method when all else fails, and before time runs out.

BBC News Video: Israel says it hit 100 Hezbollah rocket launchers in Lebanon | BBC News
Israel has launched extensive air strikes on southern Lebanon.
The Israeli military said its warplanes struck more than 100 Hezbollah sites, including a weapons storage facility.
Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said Israel is embarking on a "new phase of the war”.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said deadly explosions earlier in the week "crossed all red lines”.
Israel has not said it was behind the attacks - which saw pagers and walkie-talkies explode simultaneously across the country, which killed more than 37 people and injured thousands.

BBC News Video: Russia and Iran use AI to target US election | BBC News
The United States election result will have major implications around the world, meaning many countries have an incentive to try and interfere to either support a particular candidate or simply destabilise America.
This week’s AI Decoded explores the growing threat of generative artificial intelligence in creating deepfakes, which can undermine democracies - including in the US. Deepfakes use a form of AI called deep learning to make images of fake events.
Iranian hackers distributed information about Donald Trump's electoral campaign to people linked to the Biden campaign, according to the FBI and US intelligence agencies. There is currently no evidence that the hackers received any reply from any recipients.
The US has charged and sanctioned Russian state media executives and restricted Kremlin-linked broadcasters as it accused Moscow of a widespread campaign to interfere with the presidential election.

BBC News Video: Escalations threaten to derail talks for a ceasefire in Gaza, says US Secretary of State | BBC News
Israel has launched air strikes on southern Lebanon as Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah condemns this week’s fatal exploding devices attacks. Moments before Nasrallah’s televised speech, Israel confirmed the strikes.
Nasrallah says the device attacks - which killed at least 37 - crossed “all limits, rules and red lines.” More than 2,600 people were injured when thousands of pagers exploded on Tuesday and walkie-talkies exploded on Wednesday.
France and the United States are united in calling for restraint, says US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is in Paris.
"We believe [a ceasefire] remains possible and necessary. But meanwhile we don't want to see any escalatory actions by any party that makes that even more difficult," Blinken adds.
The US is "still gathering information" on Lebanon device attacks, says US Department of State spokesman Matthew Miller.

This was the scene in Beirut after thousands of electronic devices exploded across two days.
Walkie-talkie radios used by the militant group Hezbollah exploded across Lebanon on Wednesday fueling tensions in the Middle East after similar detonations of the group‘s pagers happened the day before.
At least 20 people were killed in the most recent blasts and around 450 were injured.
Multiple explosions went off at the site of a funeral being held for three Hezbollah members.
An explosive device was also found in the parking lot of one of the country’s biggest hospitals.

ODN Video: French Man Admits to Letting Dozens of Men Rape his Drugged Wife
Dominique Pelicot, 71, has admitted to drugging his wife, Gisèle, and allowing over 50 men to rape her while she was unconscious.
For more than 10 years, Pelicot drugged his wife, posted ads online, and filmed the assaults. Police found thousands of videos, leading to the arrests of 72 men. Fifty of them are now on trial.
In court, Pelicot begged for Gisèle’s forgiveness, admitting his crimes were "unforgivable." Some of the accused claim they didn’t know she was unconscious, believing it was consensual.
Gisèle has waived her anonymity, saying she never suspected her husband of nearly 50 years.
The trial has sparked a national debate on consent, marital rape, and abuse.
Pelicot, who blames his actions on past trauma, says he knew it was wrong but couldn’t stop.
He now faces charges alongside the 50 men, who could face up to 20 years in prison.

The blast happened almost simultaneously across Lebanon on Tuesday.
At least 12 people, including two children, have been killed and nearly 3,000 people were injured.
Most of the injuries occurred in the Beirut area while around 750 people hurt were in the south of Lebanon.
