Jacinda Ardern Instagram – I wrote a piece for The Guardian on two things – the work I’ve been doing with the IRC on maternal mortality in humanitarian crises, and the need to end the horror that too many children are born into, and that includes the genocide in Gaza.
I’ve been asked about Gaza many times over the last few months, and for good reason. I’ve given views in podcasts and interviews, but I’ve tried to sum it up here:
“In the coming weeks leaders will gather for the UN General Assembly. And as they do, we must continue to call on those with power to respond to these humanitarian crises, ranging from the conflict in Ukraine to natural disasters caused by the climate crisis. We should start with Gaza. There is a path to stopping the genocide still happening daily before us: more countries must recognise Palestinian statehood; any co-operation that facilitates military action must end; humanitarian aid needs to urgently reach the trapped and starving; and medical care must be available for the injured, the malnourished, and for the expectant and new mothers.”
Simply put, the genocide must end. | Posted on 19/Sep/2025 15:46:08
