More than half the population of #Gaza is on the brink of famine. Urgent action is needed to save lives. The people of Gaza need immediate, free & unimpeded access to medical supplies, food and life-essential services. worldbank.org/en/news/statem…
@bjerde_anna Thank you, @bjerde_anna, for raising your voice for the oppressed.
@bjerde_anna @EylonALevy @LTCPeterLerner "Unlimited AIDE being provided to Gazans. Ideally the Data & Statistics far supersedes the falsified information about famine & starvation.More than 328,000 Tonnes of Food, Medicine & Other basic necessities 4 Women & Children with +17000 🚛 trucks."
@bjerde_anna Good @WorldBank finally issued a statement but unfortunately it is too little too late. The int’l community has called for a ceasefire not just unhindered aid. As a former WB staff I urge the WB to be on right side of history as it has been in other conflicts.
@bjerde_anna How about joining the international communities’ call for a ceasefire. Sadly, the World Bank will continue to be on the wrong side of history which is where the US stands. As a 20-years ex-staff of the World Bank, I am deeply saddened.
@bjerde_anna A timid one-paragraph statement given the magnitude of the calamity and genocide in Gaza. Couldn't even include a demand for a ceasefire when the entire "international community" has called for it. As a former IFC manager, I am utterly disappointed!
