The World Food Programme has fully depleted its food stocks in Gaza.

On Friday, the last available supplies were delivered to hot meal kitchens. For more than seven weeks, no humanitarian or commercial supplies have entered Gaza.

WFP and partners have more than 116,000 metric tons of food assistance positioned at aid corridors, ready to be delivered once borders reopen.

"The transatlantic slave trade is an indelible stain on the conscience of humanity.”

For more than four centuries, enslaved Africans were kidnapped and trafficked; dehumanized, abused and exploited, UN Secretary-General António Guterres recalled at Tuesday’s slavery remembrance event held in the General Assembly Hall.

“We must stand with everyone, everywhere to combat racial discrimination and hate, and to defend the human rights and dignity of all.”
