Isra.eli soldiers document themselves using displaced civilians' homes and kitchens in Southern Leba.non to film social media content

repeating pattern previously seen in Gaz.a is now being documented in Southern Leban.on. Isra.eli soldiers are openly filming themselves occupying homes left behind by displaced and destroyed civilian families, using their personal kitchens and belongings to prepare food and create show-off videos for social media platforms.

The practice highlights an ongoing trend of soldiers documenting their own presence inside civilian properties, turning the homes of displaced refugees into backdrop content for social media.

Five years after the Taliban seized power, women and girls in Afghanistan have been systematically stripped of their rights. De facto authorities have issued more than 100 decrees curbing education, work and freedom of movement – restrictions now compounded by deep cuts to aid on the ground.

American surgeon Dr. Mark Perlmutter shares harrowing Gaza testimony: "I amputated a child's leg without anesthesia while the anesthesiologist sang to her."

American orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mark Perlmutter, who recently returned from volunteering in Gaza, gives a devastating firsthand account of the catastrophic medical reality on the ground.

Due to the critical shortage of basic medical supplies and pain relief, healthcare workers are forced to perform life-altering procedures—including pediatric amputations—without proper anesthesia. In one heartbreaking moment, the only comfort they could provide to a young girl during surgery was the anesthesiologist singing to her to help drown out the pain.

Honest question - is the role of UN Secretariat to hire highly paid employees that will hire short-term consultants to do the job?

I’m curious about how the UN Secretariat supposed to function. I see P3-P5 level get paid a huge amount monthly yet hire “experts” to do technical work, their roles are intended for. I mean, it’s P level not G.

I’ve seen myself like hiring strategy consultants, assessment consultants, MEL consultants, communications consultants for short-term yet we have P4/P5 who should be strategizing, comms officers at P3/P4 level who should have the expertise, and so on.

Again, this is an honest question. I recognize the possible workload issues. I just don’t think these responsibilities should be passed on to others given the salary these P-level staff receive.

Please enlighten me.

Dutch JPO Interview for Role in the Office of DSG

Hi everyone,

Last week I was interviewed for one of the JPO roles sponsored by the Dutch Govt for Indian & other nationals. The role that I was interviewed for is in the office of Deputy Secretary General.

I wanted to know how much time does it usually takes for them to move to next step and after how many months should we consider it as rejection if we don't receive any thing.

I saw that people usually receive reference submission emails in a week or 2. As per the advertisement of position, it showed that selected candidates have to take part in training to be organised in Turin, Italy from 9th Nov to 27th.

Also, if anyone can advice on it being a stable career choice. Currently, I work in an G7 diplomatic mission in New Delhi as a local political officer which is an indeterminate or permanent position with a comfortable salary. If I get option, whether taking up JPO would be good choice or not. The option of taking up a P2 position in NYC does seem alluring at this age but I am weighing it against future prospects as well. What about 2 years later ?

Thanks in advance for all your guidance
