Russia’s hopes of rejoining the Human Rights Council after being frozen out last year were dampened in New York after losing a vote to Albania and Bulgaria. And after the latest disaster hits Afghanistan, survivors hope to find loved ones amid the rubble of Saturday’s deadly earthquake. |

Israel-Gaza: UN agencies huddle to respond to unfolding humanitarian crisis.
As fighting intensified on Tuesday, days after a surprise attack by Palestinian militant group Hamas on Israel, the United Nations headquarters in Geneva provided a look into the humanitarian needs and recalled international humanitarian law obligations as violations mount.
