Highlights: - Middle East - Deputy Secretary-General - Global Humanitarian Overview - Ukraine - Afghanistan - Children and Armed Conflict - Micro-, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Day -UN Holiday MIDDLE EAST Tor Wennesland, the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, told the Security Council this morning that, in recent weeks, we have seen an alarming spike in violence across the northern and central occupied West Bank, leading to numerous Palestinian and Israeli casualties. The mounting violence, he said, is taking place against the backdrop of deeply worrying settlement-related developments that alter the already fragile dynamics on the ground, as well as a worrying deterioration in relations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Mr. Wennesland said that he remains deeply troubled by the relentless expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, that fuels violence and is impeding access by Palestinians to their land and resources, reshaping the geography of the occupied West Bank and threatening the viability of a future Palestinian State. He noted that Israeli settlements constitute a flagrant violation of United Nations resolutions and international law. He called on the Government of Israel to cease the advancement of all settlement activity immediately. DEPUTY SECRETARY-GENERAL Today, in China, the Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed, met with the Inner Mongolia Provincial leaders. She acknowledged the regional efforts on climate action and long-term investments in afforestation. This was followed by a visit to the world’s first zero-carbon industrial park in Ordos. Ms. Mohammed also visited an afforestation project and sand drift prevention projects in Kubuqi, which also hosts China’s largest single-stage solar farm. GLOBAL HUMANITARIAN OVERVIEW The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says that halfway into 2023, it has only received 20 per cent of the $54.8 billion it needs to help people in need around the world. At the end of last year, the number of people who needed aid was a record 349 million, but that number has climbed to 362 million. This means that one in 22 people globally now require assistance. With needs growing exponentially, funding is struggling to keep pace. OCHA also warns that unequal funding across emergencies and key sectors have challenged our ability to respond to surging needs. Current underfunded crises include Myanmar, Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Venezuela, Somalia and Afghanistan. These funding gaps have real consequences on millions of people, and we encourage donors to continue to contribute generously to the humanitarian response plans.
