A top United Nation official appealed for €2.6 billion on Tuesday to provide desperately needed aid to 3 million Palestinians, stressing that preventing a looming famine in war-torn Gaza requires not only food but sanitation, water and health facilities. Andrea De Domenico, head of the UN humanitarian office for Gaza and the West Bank, informed reporters that extensive efforts are needed to restore these essential services and meet basic standards, which cannot be accomplished during military operations. He highlighted the widespread destruction of hospitals, water and sanitation facilities, h...

Humanity has only two years left “to save the world” by making dramatic changes in the way it spews heat-trapping emissions according to the head of the United Nations climate agency. It has even less time to act to get the finances behind such a massive shift.

United Nations executive climate secretary Simon Stiell said Wednesday he know...

"Israel has the political, financial, economic means to continue operating business as usual. It has no incentive whatsoever to change conduct," Albanese explained. "Europe is the main trading partner - which accounts I think for 30% of Israel's trade - so it has a huge power and it should use that power...

Last year, Ukraine became the most land-mined country on Earth. It is an inauspicious harbinger for this year’s 25th anniversary of the Ottawa Mine Ban Treaty entering international law. By some estimates, one-third of Ukraine is now contaminated. Even more will be before this conflict is over. The frontiers of this treaty are clearly being stretched. Until this war, no signatory country, like Ukraine, had been invaded. Neither had a non-signatory, as is Russia, entered a land war of conquest. Both have been laying mines since the invasion. But this does not mean the treaty has failed. Over th...
