#MSF/Doctors Without Borders addressed the UN Security Council.
Outside the meeting, Remy Carriere, Emergency MSF co-ordinator just back from #Gaza said he didn't think many humanitarian organizations could function in #Gaza without the services provided by #unwra.
He also said,
"A lot of the services everybody is receiving is because UNWRA is functional today."

“Turn your face into the east wind, and if you could see for ever you would see Ivan’s land. It is a land where summer is short and pale like a celandine; winter long and cold as an icicle.”

“(…) Hate Orgoreyn? No, how should I? How does one hate a country, or love one? Tibe talks about it; I lack the trick of it. I know people, I know towns, farms, hills and rivers and rocks, I know how the sun at sunset in autumn falls on the side of a certain plowland in the hills; but what is the sense of giving a boundary to all that, of giving it a name and ceasing to love where the name ceases to apply? What is love of one’s country; is it hate of one’s uncountry? Then it’s not a good thing. Is it simply self-love? That’s a good thing, but one mustn’t make a virtue of it, or a profession. … Insofar as I love life, I love the hills of the Domain of Estre, but that sort of love does not have a boundary-line of hate. And beyond that, I am ignorant, I hope.”
