UN rights chief: Israel's decision to suspend NGO activity in Gaza 'outrageous'

December 31, 2025 Humanitarian aid

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk called the Israeli authorities' decision to suspend the activities of numerous humanitarian organizations in the Gaza Strip "outrageous."

Thirty-seven international humanitarian organizations may reportedly lose their licenses to operate in the Gaza Strip starting January 1. These include key UN partners, including the Norwegian Refugee Council, which plays a critical role in running five feeding centers that provide assistance to children with severe malnutrition.

According to Türk, this is the latest in a series of illegal restrictions on the population's access to humanitarian aid, including Israel's ban on the activities of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). He also noted attacks on Israeli and Palestinian NGOs.

"I call on all states, especially those with influence, to take urgent action and ensure that Israel immediately allows unimpeded aid to enter the Gaza Strip," Türk said.

He stressed that such arbitrary decisions to suspend humanitarian operations worsen the already dire situation in which the residents of Gaza find themselves.

"I remind the Israeli authorities that they have an obligation – under international law – to ensure the availability of basic necessities for daily life in Gaza, including by allowing and facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid," Türk said.

Six children died due to heavy rains

Meanwhile, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) reports that a sixth child has died in the Gaza Strip this month due to harsh living conditions associated with heavy rains.

UNICEF said in a statement that the latest victim was seven-year-old Ata Mai. He drowned on December 27 during a flood in a makeshift camp for internally displaced persons in Sudan, northwest of Gaza City.

The Children's Fund notes that extreme winter conditions are exacerbated by the lack of safe shelters.

"Teams visiting camps for displaced people report appalling conditions that no child should be living in, with many tents blown away or completely destroyed," said UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa Edouard Begbederon.

Ata lived in a camp of about 40 tents. All his brothers and sisters were under 10 years old, and the family had already lost their mother during the war. UNICEF is currently providing the family with essential assistance, including blankets and tarpaulins.

The Gaza Strip faces a severe housing crisis: more than 1.9 million people are displaced, and only limited shelter materials are reaching the enclave.

Together with its partners, UNICEF is providing support to thousands of affected families. This includes installing temporary water pipes, distributing hygiene supplies, tarpaulins, and blankets, providing access to toilets, cleaning and restoring sewer pipes, clearing storm drains, and protecting tents from flooding.

January 1, 2026: Actors explained why filming at Prostokvashino is a professional dream.

Source: Gazprom – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Fairy tales seem like a simple genre. However, the acting community believes they're more challenging to play than dramas. You understand the magical world around you, but you have to perform it for real. That's why each role is so special.

We asked the actors of Prostokvashino what participating in this project means to them.

A fairy tale is a separate story, the pinnacle of artistic creativity, – Ivan Okhlobystin (postman Pechkin).

The role of Uncle Fyodor's mother is a gift. I'm simply a lucky person, – Liza Moryak (Uncle Fyodor's mother).

It was a great pleasure to play such a role and show the film to my children, – Pavel Priluchny (Uncle Fyodor's father).

The film based on the story by Eduard Uspensky is now in theaters!

The project was created by the Andreasyan brothers' film company in partnership with Gazprom-Media Holding, Soyuzmultfilm, and the TNT television channel. The producers were Gevond and Sarik Andreasyan, Tina Kandelaki, Boris Khanchalyan, Arkady Vodakhov, Marina Razumova, and Yuliana Slashcheva.

Beijing, January 1 (Xinhua) — Taiwan Chief Executive Lai Qingde's New Year's speech, in which he once again peddled absurdities and misconceptions about "Taiwan independence" and incited cross-strait confrontation, was full of falsehoods and statements steeped in hostility and malice, State Council Taiwan Affairs Office Spokesperson Chen Binhua said Thursday.

"No matter what Lai Qingde and the DPP administration say or do, it will not change the fact that Taiwan is part of China, nor will it affect the inevitable collapse of 'Taiwan independence,'" Chen Binhua said.

“The complete reunification of the Motherland will definitely be achieved,” he concluded. -0-

On this winter morning, the State University of Management congratulates Professor Sergei Glazyev, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Head of the Department of Economic Policy and Economic Measurements at the State University of Management, and Director of the Master's Program "Economics of Integration Processes in the Eurasian Economic Union," on his 60th birthday!

The birthday boy's career was rich and incredibly eventful: in 1992 he became the Minister of Foreign Economic Relations of Russia, in 1994 Sergei Yuryevich was elected to the State Duma of the first convocation, later became a deputy in 2000 and 2004 (III and IV convocations), and in 2004 he ran for the post of President of Russia, taking third place in the elections.

In 2008, he returned to the field of foreign economic relations, first becoming Deputy Secretary General of the Eurasian Economic Community (EurAsEC), and on February 4, 2009, Executive Secretary of the Commission of the Customs Union of the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, and the Russian Federation. It was under his leadership that the formation of the Common Economic Space began, which he continued to work on as an advisor to the President from 2012 to 2019.

In April 2025, by a joint decision of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, Sergei Glazyev was appointed State Secretary of the Union State.

Alongside his intense political activities, Sergei Yuryevich also pursued academic work, receiving the title of professor in 1999. He has authored over 300 papers and has been the head of the Department of Economic Policy and Economic Measurement at the State University of Management for many years. He regularly visits the university to give open lectures and participate in academic events, such as the traditional Lviv Forum.

We congratulate Sergei Yuryevich on his birthday and wish him a long life, new scientific discoveries, the achievement of his goals, and success in integrating and strengthening Russia's relations with friendly countries.

HARBIN, Jan. 1 (Xinhua) — A special exhibition displaying more than 5,000 donated artifacts and historical materials documenting the atrocities committed by Unit 731, the infamous Japanese Army germ warfare unit during World War II, opened Wednesday in Harbin, capital of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province.

The exhibition, organized at the Unit 731 Crime Evidence Museum, also commemorates the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.

Over the past year, the Museum received 3,215 artifacts (sets) and 22,882 pages of archival materials as donations from the public. From this collection, 1,524 exhibits and 3,482 pages of archival materials were selected for the exhibition.

The exhibits, which were built on the site of the former Unit 731 headquarters in Harbin, show evidence from different angles of atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders, including biological warfare and human experiments, said the museum.

Museum director Jin Chengmin said at the exhibition's opening ceremony that the exhibits serve as evidence of the Japanese invaders' crimes against humanity and enrich the museum's collection.

The exhibition is free to visit and will run until March 31, 2026.

Unit 731 was a top-secret biological and chemical warfare base established in Harbin as the central organ of Japanese germ warfare in China and Southeast Asia during World War II.

At least 3,000 people were used by Unit 731 for human experiments, and more than 300,000 people in China were killed by Japanese germ warfare. -0-

The government has extended restrictions on the export of certain types of timber until the end of 2028.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Government of the Russian Federation – Government of the Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Increased export customs duties on softwood and hardwood lumber (oak, beech, and ash) have been extended for three years, until December 31, 2028. A decree to this effect has been signed.

The decision will maintain restrictions on the export of unprocessed timber, for which sawn timber serves as a "cover product," and ensure a stable supply of raw materials for domestic producers.

Increased rates apply to the export of certain types of timber with a moisture content greater than 22% and a thickness and width greater than 10 cm. Export duties on softwood timber are €200 per cubic meter, beech timber – €250, ash timber – €300, and oak timber – €370.

The export tax on softwood lumber will be 10%, but not less than 13 euros per cubic meter; on oak lumber, 10%, but not less than 15 euros per cubic meter; and on beech and ash lumber, 10%, but not less than 50 euros per cubic meter.

Such restrictions on the export of timber have been in effect since 2022.

The document will be published.
