If Israel passes this horrific death penalty law, it is yet another reason for Canberra to end its timidity and impose sanctions on this rogue state. #auspol #Israel #Palestinian #Death penalty

In the #Gaza Strip, displaced families are struggling to access safe water.
In overcrowded shelters, many rely entirely on water trucking by UNRWA. They ration every drop for drinking, cooking and basic hygiene.
Access to water remains critical for survival.

People in #Gaza need an unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid.
While UNRWA is ready to deliver shelter supplies for up to 1.3 million people, the Israeli Authorities continue to block the Agency from bringing aid in.
The scale of UNRWA's work in Gaza must be restored to its fullest capacity.
