Dismantling of UNRWA - Gaza - Mar24,'26

 DISMANTLING OF UNRWA - by Jamie Munn CEO/ Executive Director, ICVA

I am writing this in a personal capacity, not in my role, because this is one of those moments where staying quiet does not feel right.

I’ll be blunt. I am furious about what is happening to UNRWA and even more furious about how quiet so many of us are.

Philippe Lazzarini's article in The Guardian should be required reading for anyone who works in humanitarian action, diplomacy, or international cooperation. Because what he is describing is not just a crisis in Gaza. It is the dismantling of one of the core institutions of the international humanitarian system in full view of the world.

UNRWA is not an abstract UN agency.
It is schools.
It is primary healthcare.
It is food distribution.
It is protection.
It is dignity for millions of Palestinian refugees.

If UNRWA collapses, we are not just losing an organisation. We are signalling that humanitarian institutions can be dismantled by a state, that humanitarian workers can be killed, and that an entire civilian population can be collectively punished ... and the world will move on.

What troubles me most right now is not just what is happening, but how easily political and humanitarian leaders are distracted. How quickly the conversation moves. How comfortable some have become with things that should be absolutely unacceptable.

We cannot spend our careers talking about international humanitarian law, multilateralism, and a rules-based order, and then fall strangely quiet when those very principles are being tested in the most visible way possible.
Silence is not neutrality. Silence is a choice.

And this is a moment where we should be choosing to speak, dare I say SHOUT, in support of UNRWA, in support of humanitarian workers, and in support of the people of Palestine.

History does not judge us by the meetings we attended or the statements we carefully drafted.

It judges us by the moments when speaking up was uncomfortable and whether we did it anyway.

Mufti Taqi On Iran - Mar11,'26

MUFTI TAQI USMANI IS  A RESPECTABLE ISLAMIC SCHOLAR OF PAKISTAN WHO HAS WRITTEN BOOKS ON ISLAMIC PHILOSOPHY.

In 2005, I bought a booklet of about 20-25 pages written by him, titled "MUSEEBAT PER SABAR KARAIN" (HAVE PATIENCE IN HARDSHIPS). It was about how to be patient during hardships and is a very inspirational life-changing book.

US, IZRAEL ATTACK ON IRAN - Feb 28, 2026

US and Izrael attacked Iran. In retaliation to strikes on Iran by US and Izrael, Iran targeted US bases in UAE. According to a source, some missiles were intercepted and thus public area like Palm Jumerah in Dubai was hit. I am not a Shia but Iran is not an aggressor. It is the only Muslim country right now which is showing courage against the oppressive forces.

Islamic Scholar Retd. Justice Taqi Usmani of Pakistan says that war with Afghanistan is not right because it's another Muslim country. Journalist Hassan Nisar says that the snake should be crushed because enough is enough (due to continuing waves of terrrrorism from the soil of Afghanistan). Afghan Taliban have become Indian Proxy.

Journalist Hamid Mir says that after attack on Iran, India and Izrael could attack Pakistan with the silent consent of USA. And this time, the Afghan Taliban might also be involved God forbid.

Hamid Mir further says that government of Pakistan should try to unite Pakistanis by resolving political differences and putting an end to the agenda of political revenge. The opposition should also act sensibly by not flaring up all the time.

Hamid Mir also says that there's no need to free Imran Khan and he does not want to be freed just to make a deal. His case should be treated fairly through court cases thus providing him relief.
