One year after the war in Gaza, violence persists, and the humanitarian crisis continues. Over the past year, UN officials have condemned Hamas’s attacks, called for the immediate release of all hostages, and urged for ceasefires. Gaza remains sealed off, leaving no safe areas for civilians. The UN is fully committed to staying and delivering aid to the people of Gaza.

United Nations Video: Violence against Women and Girls - Press conference by Special rapporteur | United Nations
The Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, its causes and consequences, Ms. Reem Alsalem, will brief the press following the presentation of her report to the General Assembly’s Third Committee on 8 October.
-----------
Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls Reem Alsalem said, “Violence against women and girls in sport is a serious, systemic and systematic human rights issue that demands immediate attention at all levels.”
Addressing reporters today (8 Oct) on Violence against Women and Girls in sport, Alsalem explored the forms, causes and consequences of violence against women and girls in sports, including sexual violence, coercion, gender pay gap, gender stereotypes, patriarchal structures, abusive coaches, and the general absence of robust policies and mechanisms to address abuses and protect victims.
She said, “Women and girls in sport face multiple forms of violence - and I outlined them in the report - economic forms of violence, physical, psychological, coercive control, online violence and also for children, girls, they face neglect, particularly in some sports such as gymnastics.”
She also said, “The report also describes the most common perpetrators of violence and their accomplices, which include state and non-state actors. So, I speak about coaches, professional colleagues, family members, managers, spectators, policy makers. And I assert within that conversation that states can also be considered complicit when they fail to prevent, prosecute and sanction acts of violence against women and girls in sport.”
She continued, “Their ability to play sports in condition of safety, dignity and fairness has been further eroded by the intrusion of males who identify as female in female only sports categories and spaces.”
She concluded, “Impunity fosters the culture of silence and injustice, and that is brought about in part by the autonomous regulatory frameworks of sports organizations that we have, which non sufficiently incorporated human rights lens or framework in the work, and they tend to prioritize reputation and winning over justice and accountability to victims.”
The Special Rapporteurs of the Human Rights Council are independent human rights experts with mandates to report and advise on human rights from a thematic or country-specific perspective.

United Nations Video: World Post Day 2024 - UN Chief Message | United Nations
Video message by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, for World Post Day.
---
"On this World Post Day, we mark a historic milestone – the 150th anniversary of the Universal Postal Union.
In times of war and peace, crises and upheaval, the international postal network has delivered -- connecting communities and upholding the fundamental right to communicate.
The UPU is also one of the earliest examples of multilateralism in action.
Global cooperation helped guarantee a single postal territory worldwide – one that leaves no one behind by delivering messages, goods, and financial services to some of the most remote places on earth.
Looking ahead, the UPU continues to leverage new technologies to provide essential services to humanity.
On this important day, let’s honour and celebrate the work of the Universal Postal Union to bridge distances and unite the world".

Hurricane Milton is going to be "deadly and catastrophic", officials are warning, as millions leave Florida ahead of the storm's arrival
Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, has been speaking in what will be his last briefing before Hurricane Milton makes landfall late on Wednesday night.
“51 counties remain under a state of emergency but authorities are "prepared and we will respond”, he said.
He adds "there is still hope" Milton could weaken further before it reaches Florida after it was downgraded to a category four storm earlier by the National Hurricane Center.

International Video: Israel Hamas war: how Oct 7 changed the Middle East
The attack started early last October 7th - as thousands of Hamas fighters came across the border from Gaza and attacked civilians. It led to a protracted war in Gaza, and since then Israeli airstrikes have killed more than 40,000 Palestinians.
[Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe]
Tensions and killings have also increased in the occupied West Bank and to Israel's north, a constant exchange of fire with the militant group Hezbollah has, in recent weeks, escalated into conflict across the whole of Lebanon.
Israel is also fighting groups throughout the wider region - including militia in Syria and the Houthis in Yemen.
All of them backed by Iran - which has itself entered the battlefield directly with a second wave of missile attacks on Israel last week, and is now braced for possible Israeli strikes inside its territory.
