A breakthrough for #Gaza today: a new corridor from #Jordan is officially operational.

A World Food Programme and @_JHCO convoy brought life-saving food through the Kerem Shalom crossing. Grateful to all who made it happen.

The people of Gaza are starving. This is a vital step to help them.

#WeAreCoops

Science tells us that limiting global heating to 1.5°C will be impossible without the phase out of fossil fuels.

This was also recognized by a growing & diverse coalition of countries at #COP28 .

The era of fossil fuels must end – and it must end with justice & equity.

🙌The SEE Memorandum for the European Elections 2024 is already available on our website!
Our 3 main proposals are:
1. Renewal of the SE Intergroup
2. Appointment of a 🇪🇺Commissioner responsible for Social Economy
3. Pursue the SEAP
Find it here👉socialeconomy.eu.org/wp-content/upl…

To those who opposed a clear reference to phase out of fossil fuels during the #COP28 Climate Conference, I want to say:

Whether you like it or not, fossil fuel phase out is inevitable. Let’s hope it doesn’t come too late.

'The United Nations and several member states, including the U.S., have firmly rejected forcibly displacing Gazans out of the #GazaStrip

But the developments we are witnessing point to attempts to move Palestinians into Egypt'
