UN is an organization known by people of all ages. This organization was formed on October 24 of the year 1945. It was formed after the 2nd world War which was ongoing for six years. People recognized the need to ensure peace and security on earth after seeing whatever happened on the World War 2. United Nations was mainly formed in order to ensure peace and security around the whole world.
Now let's look at the principles of the United Nations. The first principle states that the UN was established on the principles of sovereignty and equality of every Nation. The third principle states that in order to keep international peace and security undisturbed, each member state shall strive to refrain from any actions against other states that might lead to hostality. At last, the seventh principal states that the UN can't intervene in the internal affairs of any state unless the peace and security of the inhabitants of a state is hampered.
Addressing my point of view, the UN seems to be surprisingly quiet about whatever is happening in Palestine. During these ongoing 9 months of genocide the UN seems to be doing nothing for preserving international peace and security.
Let's look back at the first principle of the UN. UN was established to maintain the equality of every Nation i.e in their eyes every Nation is equal. Looking back at the war between Russia and Ukraine, UN helped Ukraine. And a huge number of people supported Ukraine for enduring a lot of sufferings. Now if we talk about the genocide going on in Palestine, the UN didn't bother to talk about ceasefire or any other issue occuring in Palestine. For them every state is equal except for Palestine.
Now let's look back at the third principle which is for keeping international peace and security undisturbed, each member state shall refrain from any action against any state. So is Israel not a state? UN recognizes Israel as a state but refuses to take action against it for breaking the international peace and security. It's been two hundred and sixty days since Palestine has been bombed constantly. Millions of people died, thousands of houses, schools and mosques were destroyed, many are injured having no hope to live anymore. And peace, cooperation along with security had been disrupted long ago yet no legal action is taken against Israel.
According to the last principle of the UN, if peace and security of a state is disrupted UN is going to interfere in the internal affairs of the country. As far as I know UN did nothing for helping Palestine. Some food trucks were sent to Gaza but Israel government didn't allow these trucks to reach Gaza. Even during Ramadan, Israeli people said that they were helping the Palestinians to fast during the holy month of Ramadan by depriving them from any food or drink. They were trying to act dumb since Muslims break their fast by eating something and they observe their fast by eating something before the Fazr prayer. The Palestinians had to eat grass and make soup of it for Iftar. Peace and security of these people were taken away from them long ago. Seems like UN has no problem with it.
I'm sure that everyone knows about UNHCR which is a part of the UN. The full form is United Nations Development Fund for Women. It implements various program for women. It plays a role in advocating for women's rights and engages them in economic activities. It also works many other issues concerning women.
In these nine months and sixteen days of continuous bombing going on in Palestine, many girls got their periods for the first time and many women gave birth in an unsafe method. The girls having their period for their first time had lost their guardians, they had no sanitary napkins and felt so unsafe during this time. There was no proper medication available for these girls having to go through such horrible pain. The pregnant ladies were often killed along with their unborn child. And some had to give birth in an unproper method making it difficult for both the child and the mother to survive. a mother in Palestine said " My six children who couldn't fit inside a tent fit inside my hands as ashes".
At last let's talk about UNICEF. The abbreviation is United Nations Children's Emergency Fund. It was formed on December 11,1946. Many children were orphaned after the second world War. This organization made the decision to create a fund for helping these children. UNICEF is willing for ensuring the fundamental rights and provisions for the disadvantaged children.
47 children lose their parents in a day in Palestine. They are orphaned,shelterless and helpless. Some are toddlers and some are newborn. Some are even ten year old kids who are forced to act like an adult for their younger sibling. A girl died while giving oxygen to her younger sibling. A family in Gaza bid farewell to their babygirl who was killed by the air strikes minutes ago before eid which is supposed to be a happy occasion for all Muslims. Death toll in gaza passes for 32,632 including over 13,000 children.
Dead Palestinians are buried everywhere in gaza including the sidewalk and their homes. The people were running out of graveyards. That's how much people are dying in Palestine.
About some days ago the picture or a headless baby in Palestine had gone viral. This baby's information was found. Turns out it was an Innocent five year old who was forcefully involved in this genocide.
Kids are crying out of hunger in front of the journalists who interview them. And when they get food they give it to their elders or friends. That's how kind the children are. Some kids don't wanna live anymore since their life in Palestine is full of struggles die to them losing food, education and their homes along with their guardians.
The UN chooses to keep silent about this genocide but we shouldn't. We should stand with Palestine and speak for them until they are an independent state once again.
