منذ إنشائها في العام 78، ومن ثم تعزيز مهمتها بعد حرب العام 2006، بنت قوة الأمم المتحدة المؤقتة في لبنان (اليونيفيل) علاقات قوية جداً مع المجتمعات المحلية في جنوب لبنان. بالإضافة إلى أنشطتهم العملياتية بموجب قرار مجلس الأمن الدولي رقم 1701، يقوم حفظة السلام التابعون لليونيفيل أيضاً بمساعدة المجتمعات المحلية بأنواع مختلفة من الدعم، بما في ذلك المشاريع التنموية والتبرعات. ومع بداية تبادل إطلاق النار على طول الخط الأزرق في الثامن من تشرين الأول، أصبح هذا الدعم أكثر إلحاحا حيث إن الأهالي الذين يواجهون أصلاً تحديات بسبب الأزمة الاقتصادية باتوا يعانون أكثر بسبب الوضع الحالي.

Gaza: Thousands of sick children like Janah need urgent medical evacuation, says UN aid office

Veteran UN aid worker Olga Cherevko on Wednesday described the moment she recognized a young girl requiring treatment in a Gaza hospital after a year's interval, once again suffering from malnourishment.
"I remembered her long eyelashes," Ms. Cherevko told UN News, describing seven-year-old Janah, who she came across at Gaza City's Patient Friendly Hospital on Tuesday.
"The first time I met her was in the IMC Field hospital in southern Gaza in April of 2024. Back then, she was severely severely malnourished and was getting treatment. And she gradually became better and was released eventually and went home. And unfortunately yesterday when we found her in the hospital, she has been hospitalized again because the malnutrition became aggravated and the condition that she has also is not properly diagnosed and cannot be properly diagnosed. This is why she is on the list of people to be evacuated and medically evacuated and properly treated outside. 
"There are thousands and thousands of children on this list of patients to be evacuated, so it's important that these these evacuations continue to make sure to save as many lives as possible. And one thing important to note is that even with preexisting conditions, when children or adults become malnourished, the whatever condition they have is exacerbated so much more. And of course, they don't heal as fast. And their situation becomes worse and worse; it wouldn't be this way if they had proper nutrition, because these conditions existed before the starvation crisis, and these children and adults, they they weren't getting as sick as they are now."

People in Haiti are living through “hell on earth,” according to William O’Neill, the UN’s designated expert on human rights in Haiti.  

Armed gangs – predominantly in the capital Port-au-Prince – are parasitically extracting financial resources from the population and perpetrating horrific acts of violence, he says – but they’re just one cog in a larger cycle of impunity, corruption and violence. 

Following the release of the most recent report on human rights in Haiti, UN News’ Naima Sawaya spoke to Mr. O’Neill about whether a path forward to peace even exists. She began by asking if he had ever met a gang leader.

An education specialist who left Somalia as a child when the civil war broke out in 1991 has now returned to support the Ministry of Education as they expand national testing.  

The programme which enabled this specialist, named Shire Salad, to return — Migration for Development in Africa or MIDA — is run by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and recruits diaspora experts who have  a “personal desire to give back."  

MIDA then pairs these experts with local professionals who work together to advance the development of hospitals, schools and other institutions. While the diaspora experts ultimately leave, the hope is that their skills will remain.  

UN News’ Naima Sawaya spoke with Mr. Salad about his experience returning to Somalia after so many years.
