The 2025 edition of the United Nations World Water Development Report highlighted the importance of mountain waters, including alpine glaciers, which are vital for meeting basic human needs such as water supply and sanitation. They are also essential to ensuring food and energy security to billions of people living in and around mountain regions and areas downstream. They also support economic growth through various water-reliant industries. As the ‘water towers’ of the world, mountains are an essential source of fresh water. They store water in the form of ice and snow during cold seasons, releasing it during warmer seasons as a major source of fresh water for users downstream. Mountains play a unique and critical role in the global water cycle, and they affect atmospheric circulation, which drives weather and precipitation patterns. Speaking to reporters at the launch of the report today (21 Mar), Bhanu Neupane, Process Coordinator for the UNESCO World Water Development Report said, “The facts are clear. We are not just approaching a global water crisis. We are already living it.” “Solutions do exist,” the UNESCO official said, reiterating that “we must invest in better water monitoring and management. We must strengthen international cooperation, primarily to bring a new era of multilateral and multi-stakeholder collaboration. We must act now, because climate change is accelerating, water crisis and delays will cost lives.” Neupane also said, “mountains are not just landscape. They are the lifeline of our planet. The water sustains billions of people.” He concluded, “the water security is not a future problem but it exists now; and mountains are dramatically changing. The question is whether or not we will change with the mountains.”

Noon briefing by Farhan Haq, Deputy Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: Secretary-General Middle East Occupied Palestinian Territory Democratic Republic of the Congo Sudan South Sudan Ukraine Haiti International Days Guest SECRETARY-GENERAL The Secretary-General is about to leave Brussels. Earlier today, he was in Leuven, where he accepted an honorary doctorate given to the United Nations by the universities KU Leuven and UC Louvain. In his remarks, Mr. Guterres said that by bestowing this honour, the universities are sending a message of support for the mission of the United Nations —a message of solidarity to all those working to make it real – and a message of inspiration for us to keep up the fight. He said the universities’ 600th anniversary coincides with a moment of reflection for the United Nations, which marks its own 80th anniversary as an organization at the epicentre of multilateralism. Standing here in Europe, the Secretary-General added, we know this same commitment to multilateralism is the beating heart of the European Union - a powerful reminder of our shared responsibility to the world’s most vulnerable people, and proof that isolationism is an illusion, never a solution.   Turning to the situation in Gaza, the Secretary-General renewed his appeal for the ceasefire to be restored, for unimpeded humanitarian assistance to be reestablished and for the remaining hostages to be released immediately and unconditionally. His full remarks have been shared with you. This afternoon, the Secretary-General also had a meeting with the Prime Minister of Belgium, Bart De Wever. I believe the readout of this meeting had just been made available. MIDDLE EAST Sigrid Kaag, the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process ad interim, briefed the Security Council this morning on Israel and Palestine, and she said that hostages must be released immediately and unconditionally. She strongly condemned the reported ill-treatment of hostages. as well as the fact that there are reasonable grounds to believe that hostages may be subjected to sexual violence and abuse. Ms. Kaag unequivocally condemned the widespread killing and injury of civilians and the destruction of civilian infrastructure in Gaza. Nothing can justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people, she said. She mourned the UN staff killed in Gaza and strongly condemned the killing of all humanitarian personnel and called for the full investigation of all such incidents. The Special Coordinator reiterated her call for a sustained ceasefire and urged the parties to redouble efforts to end human suffering. She rejected the forced displacement of the Palestinian population from any part of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, which would constitute a grave violation of international human rights and humanitarian law. Ms. Kaag added that the escalation of violence in the occupied West Bank is deeply troubling. Alongside the rising death toll, Palestine refugee camps in the northern West Bank are being emptied and are sustaining massive infrastructure damage during Israeli operations.

Play Video: Israel & Gaza: UN Calls for Immediate Release of Hostages Amid Crisis - SC Briefing | United Nations

Former Israeli hostage Eli Sharabi today (20 Mar) told the Security Council that his captors in Gaza “would eat many meals a day from the UN aid in front of us, and we never received any of it,” and said, “Hamas eats like kings while hostages starve.” Briefing the Council on the humanitarian conditions of Israeli hostages held in Gaza, the Assistant Secretary-General for the Middle East, Khaled Khiari, said, “the ceasefire and hostages release deal that took effect on 19th January offered a glimmer of hope and respite by reuniting 25 Israeli hostages with their loved ones and returning the remains of eight deceased hostages who were killed on 7th October or while in captivity to their families.” Nevertheless, Khiari said, “their release and return were sadly also a moment of great anxiety, as most of the leaving hostages were paraded in front of crowds and the coffins of the deceased, including those of two young children who were killed in captivity, where displaced publicly by Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups during appalling ceremonies that violated international law.” He stressed that “the hostages must be released immediately and unconditionally,” and “until their release, they must be allowed to receive visits and support from the International Committee of the Red Cross, and they must be treated with dignity and respect, in line with humanitarian principles.” The Assistant Secretary-General said, “the resumed hostilities in Gaza, compounded with a lack of access and the rapidity deteriorating humanitarian situation, are exposing the remaining hostages to constant danger and life threatening conditions.” Sharabi, who was held for 491 days, told the Council that while in captivity he “imagined the life we would rebuild” and “dreamt of seeing my family again.” Only after he was released, he said, “learned the truth, my wife and my daughters had been slaughtered by Hamas terrorists on October 7th.” Sharabi said, “I cannot begin to describe the agony. It was hell. I was fed a piece of pita a day. Maybe a sip of tea. Hunger consumed everything. They beat me. They broke my ribs. I didn't care. I just wanted a piece of bread.” Palestinian Ambassador Riyad Mansour expressed his condolences to the former hostage, and said, “entire families obliterated in massive and indiscriminate bombardments. Children shot by Israeli snipers in the head and in the chest. Communities uprooted by force. There is not a single Palestinian family that does not have a loved one killed, wounded, detained or displaced.” Mansour said, “Israel arrests our children, our doctors, our teachers, our workers, family members, bystanders, parliamentarians, academics, human rights defenders. Israel considers all Palestinians guilty, all Palestinians guilty.” For his part, Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon said, “for 530 days, you have erased the hostages. You have spoken about Gaza without mentioning the crimes of Hamas. You have debated humanitarian assistance without acknowledging the humanitarian crimes Hamas is deliberately inflicting on the hostages. You have the audacity to talk about a ceasefire without demanding that those held in Hamas' terror tunnels be freed. How can you claim to stand for international law while ignoring the hostages? You have audacity to talk about a ceasefire without demanding that those held in Hamas's tunnels be freed? How can you claim to stand for international law while ignoring the hostages?” Danon said, “there are so many on this Council, you, who never fail to scream for more aid, more trucks, more shipments, more access. Yet you have never once demanded that a single piece of that aid be delivered to our hostages.”

Israel has carried out the most intense air strikes on Lebanon in nearly four months, after several rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel for the first time since a ceasefire came into effect in November. The Israeli military said it had hit dozens of rocket launchers and a command centre belonging to Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militia and political group, in southern Lebanon. Several armed groups operate in Lebanon, including Hezbollah and Palestinian factions, and no-one has claimed responsibility for the attack. Hezbollah, which is the most powerful of them, said it had no involvement, and that it remained committed to the ceasefire. Lebanon's health ministry said two people, including a child, were killed and eight injured in the strikes.

Two years ago, few people had heard of the Houthi rebels. But since their hijacking of the cargo ship Galaxy leader in late 2023, the militant group from Yemen has remained a menace to global shipping, and evolved into a major player in the Middle East crisis. A coalition of the world’s most powerful navies… plus intense airstrikes on Yemen’s major cities and ports… have so far failed to put an end to Houthi attacks. On ODN, we’ve charted the battle against the Houthis from the very beginning, with the US, UK, and the militants’ themselves regularly posting extraordinary footage of their attacks.

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have returned to Romania after a trip to the US. Tate posted a picture on his X account, apparently showing the pair on a private jet. The brothers remain under ‘judicial control’ in Romania and will reportedly register at a police station on Monday. The controversial British-American influencers face six legal investigations - four criminal and two civil - in Romania, the UK and US. In Romania, the brothers are accused of human-trafficking and organising a group to sexually exploit women. Andrew Tate is also accused of rape. They deny all allegations against them. Some reports suggested Romanian authorities had been pressured by the Trump administration to lift a travel ban on the brothers and allow them to fly to the US. But President Donald Trump denied this, while Governor Ron DeSantis gave the Tate brothers a frosty welcome when they landed in Florida. Nevertheless, the Tate brothers remain popular among some elements of the American right, with social media posts railing against feminism and the “global elite”, while flaunting an ultra-luxurious lifestyle.

After nearly two years of war, Sudan’s military has seized the Republican Palace, a key stronghold of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Khartoum. The palace, once the seat of government, is now partly in ruins. Soldiers inside declared victory, marking a major symbolic moment. Despite this gain, fighting continues. The RSF still controls parts of Darfur and key areas outside Khartoum. Both sides have accused each other of war crimes. The conflict has killed over 28,000 people, with millions displaced. Sudan now faces one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world, with famine and blocked aid worsening conditions. The war began in 2023 after a power struggle between military leader Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan and RSF commander Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo. With the RSF pushed out of the capital, the conflict is far from over, and civilians continue to bear the brunt of the violence.
