The UN on Wednesday said access for medical professionals into the
Gaza Strip remains severely restricted, with over 100 health workers,
including surgeons and specialized staff, denied entry since March,
Anadolu reports.

oYesterday, emergency medical teams were denied entry into Gaza,o UN spokesperson Farhan Haq told a news conference, adding that othe World
Health Organization tells us that more than 100 health professionals,
including surgeons and other specialized medical staff, have been
barred from entry since March this year.o

Asked whether the group denied entry was a specialized team, Haq said:
oAs far as IAm aware, this was not a specialized group.o

oThis is part of the constant practice of banning the entry of medical professionals since March,o he added.

Noting that not all medical staff were barred from entering the Gaza
Strip since March, Haq stressed that ocertainly, 100 of them have been
banned since March, so itAs a huge number.o

He said access issues also stem from visa and movement restrictions by
Israeli authorities.

Citing the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA),
Haq described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as obeyond
catastrophic.o

oMore people are being killed and injured, either along convoy routes
or where theyAre staying,o he added.

The spokesman said ostarvation continues to happen,o with five new malnutrition-related deaths reported in the past 24 hours, bringing
the toll to nearly 200, half of them children.

Saying that Israel continues to block the entry of shelter materials
since March, Haq said: oToday, the Israeli military renewed two
displacement orders spanning some 1.5 square miles across five
neighborhoods in Gaza and Khan Younis governorates.o

Every person in the US is here either
legally or illegally. Those that are
here illegally should be afraid.
Be very afraid. It does not matter
how long you have been here. It does
not matter why you are here. It does not
matter what you have done legally while you
were here. It does not matter what any
relative may have done while you were here.
It only matters that you are here illegally.
It may take a day, a week, a year, or longer
but we will find you and we will deport you.
Be prepared.

Deport them all.

All politicians are trained to lie
and make those lies sound like
the truth. They start with the biggest
lie of all: Politicians are public
servants.

The Dims have an appropriate party
symbol: A jackass.

National Socialist American Workers Party
(NSAWP) formally known as the Democrat Party

Some of the Republican positions I find disgusting
and abhorrent.
Most of the Democratic positions I find terrifying.

I support:

A Constitional Amendment establishing
the Freedom of Choice.

The elimination of public expression,
display or support of religion or
religious positions.

Oic. So, you want to give the UN vastly more power but then control
it by allowing only "certain delegates" to enter the US.

How democratic and tolerant of you.

IAm sure there are lots of people who would be quite happy for the UN to >>move more of its operations to a venue with a much more credible >>reputation for neutrality ... like Geneva.

We're not the only bill payer and in fact are usually behind in our
dues.

"No, the US is not fully current on its UN dues. While the US is
typically the largest contributor to the UN budget, it often defers
some payments until later in the year, and has accumulated significant
arrears. This practice, which began in the 1980s, is partially due to
the US budget cycle and has created a long-running liquidity crisis
for the UN" <https://www.google.com/search?q=is+the+US+current+on+UN+dues&client=firefox-b-1-d&uact=5&oq=is+the+US+current+on+UN+dues>

This is yet another example of people believing what they want to
believe as a substitute for knowing the facts.

Useful for discussion, back channel communication and providing
medical and food services to the global south as well as providing a
public forum for nations to state their case.

It's not to say the UN has always done the bidding of the U.S., but mostly it has, and biggest benefit to the U.S. is that it has largely kept other countries
in line. It isn't perfect, but it works in America's interest most of the time,
and pretty close to always on all the big things. Far right-wingnut rabid foaming about the UN is utterly misguided.
