Israel sekat bekalan minyak ke Gaza - PBB

NEW YORK: Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB) melaporkan bahawa pihak berkuasa Israel masih menghalang penghantaran minyak kepada petugas kemanusiaan, hingga menyukarkan pengagihan makanan di Semenanjung Gaza.

"Pihak berkuasa Israel masih tidak membenarkan penghantaran minyak yang diperlukan kepada petugas kemanusiaan, oleh itu pengagihan makanan terjejas," lapor Agensi Berita dan Maklumat Palestin (WAFA).

Sementara itu, jurucakap Setiausaha Agung PBB, Stephane Dujarric berkata bahawa berpuluh-puluh orang awam terbunuh dan yang lain cedera dalam serangan terbaharu Israel ke atas Gaza.

Dujarric berkata bahawa "satu serangan berlaku 100 meter dari pusat operasi bantuan kemanusiaan dijalankan di Deir al-Balah."

Beliau menegaskan meskipun berdepan situasi getir, operasi bantuan kemanusiaan tetap diteruskan.

Consider This: Multidimensional Poverty in the 21st Century

Despite decades of progress, poverty continues to trap millions in cycles of deprivation, and conventional measures often fail to reflect the full scope of their struggles. The Multidimensional Poverty Index, developed by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, offers a revolutionary way to understand and address poverty by looking at deprivations in education, health, and living standards. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Professor Dr Sabina Alkire, Director of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative. Together with Professor James Foster, she developed the Alkire-Foster method for measuring multidimensional poverty.
