Lately I've been approached by #UNICEF volunteer. I wanted to help. It turned out the only way to do that was… to sign a "direct debit" form. Of course, I can't imagine giving someone my PII in the middle of a street, and signing authorizations like that. She was particularly insistent too; I managed to get her to tell me that I can get the account number for regular wire from the website.
Well, I understand the logic there. They need repeated donations, not one-time. A lot of people would just forget about it after talking to her. However, if they fill the form there, they will have to actively put an effort to cancel it afterwards. And if I understood her correctly, she suggested you can cancel anytime by calling *them* — so effectively giving them an additional opportunity to convince you not to. Still, I am dismayed by such psychological games.
Funding cuts are driving an entire generation of children in Sudan to the brink of irreversible harm as support is scaled back and malnutrition cases persist across the country, the U.N. children's agency said。 https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/06/world/politics/funding-cuts-sudan-children-unicef/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #unhcr #unicef #sudan #un #hunger #famine #sudan #children

#UNICEF stressed that children in Gaza are in urgent need of food, clean water, medicine and protection, adding, “More than anything, they need a ceasefire, NOW.”
The UN Children’s Fund, UNICEF, warned that 28 children are dying each day in Gaza from Israeli bombardments, the lack of aid, starvation and malnutrition.

'A despicable disgrace': #BobGeldof condemns #Israel over #Gaza hunger
Updated / Friday, 25 Jul 2025
"#LiveAid founder Bob Geldof has condemned the Israeli government's role in the Gaza crisis, calling it 'a despicable disgrace' and saying it is deliberately #StarvingChildren.
" 'Their government is clearly out of control, and their army probably as well… It is a despicable disgrace. And for the Israeli people to allow this in their name is a despicable disgrace,' he told Prime Time.
" 'It is so utterly bizarre that we're talking about #Israel, given the horror of their own past. It is bewildering to me,' he said.
" 'I was the founding patron of the #AegisTrust for #GenocideStudies, which is a branch of the British National #HolocaustMuseum. I spent many times with the survivors of the #Holocaust' he told presenter Miriam O’Callaghan, 'were they alive now? They would possibly die of shame. The shame of this, Miriam, the shame for Israel... This is unconscionable.'
"His comments come amid escalating warnings from UN agencies about catastrophic levels of #starvation in Gaza.
"Earlier, Louise Wateridge, a senior emergency officer with #UNRWA, described the situation on the ground as 'completely unbearable,' with people stepping over bodies at aid centres in desperate searches for food.
"She said more than 6,000 aid trucks - half carrying essential food and medical supplies - are currently blocked just outside Gaza by Israeli restrictions.
"#UNICEF also warned that ongoing bombardment and mass displacement have rendered large parts of Gaza inaccessible for #humanitarian operations, with basic health and nutrition services near collapse.
"Mr Geldof appeared on Prime Time after a report featuring footage and images taken in recent days of #malnourished and hungry children in Gaza.
"In the report, #Oxfam aid worker #BushraKhalidi described the actions of Israel as '#CollectivePunishment,' while #CarolineWilleman of #DoctorWithoutBorders, speaking from northern Gaza, told Prime Time that she had never witnessed anything like what she was seeing currently during her career.
"She described how #Palestinian colleagues who are caring for sick and dying children are themselves unable to feed themselves or their own children.
" 'We are witnessing a #genocide,' Ms Willeman said, 'we are witnessing a genocide because we are witnessing people from whom food is being upheld, from whom water is being upheld.'
" 'It literally is beyond our comprehension. Look at your face, look at the aid workers there,' Mr Geldof said, 'What are we living in? I cannot look at those pictures. Obviously, they remind me of 1984, but in completely different circumstances.'
"Between 1983 and 1985 a major #famine erupted in #Ethiopia as a result of #drought and conflict. Footage in the news media drove Mr Geldof and #MidgeUre to found #BandAid in 1984 to raise funds for #FamineRelief initiatives.
"A year later, Live Aid, a two-event concert performed simultaneously in the UK and US was held. It featured some of the most famous music acts in the world at the time."

Gaza running out of specialised food to save malnourished children
Supplies of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (#RUTF), a crucial treatment, would be depleted by mid-August if nothing changed.
#UNICEF had only enough RUTF left to treat 3,000 children. In the first two weeks of July alone, UNICEF treated 5,000 children facing acute malnutrition in Gaza.

#UNICEF urges that the United Nations be granted full access to deliver all forms of aid at scale to families across Gaza, wherever they are.
The agency warns that hunger is spreading rapidly, people are dying, and life-threatening malnutrition among children has reached catastrophic levels.
TIME IS RUNNING OUT!
