South Sudan expels UN relief coordinator

South Sudan has decided to expel the United Nations' outspoken aid coordinator Toby Lanzer just weeks before he was to leave for a new assignment, UN officials said Monday. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the move and called on Juba to immediately reverse the decision targeting Lanzer, a British national who also served as UN deputy envoy to South Sudan. Ban's spokesman announced the decision in a statement, noting that Lanzer was coming to the end of his term and that Eugene Owusu of Ghana had already been appointed to replace him. http://dlvr.it/B3g4pr

By Drazen Jorgic NAIROBI (Reuters) - War-ravaged Somalia is hurtling towards a second famine in three years that could be prevented if donors increased funding, Philippe Lazzarini, United Nations' humanitarian coordinator for Somalia said on Sunday. Lazzarini said rapidly rising malnutrition and food shortages across the country resemble the warning signs which preceded the 2011 famine in which about 260,000 people died. Donors have pledged billions of dollars to rebuild Somalia after more than two decades of strife, but little progress has been made, hindered by continued fighting despite the presence of a 22,000-strong African Union peacekeeping force. The U.N. has raised only about a third of the $933 million required for Somalia in 2014. Source: Reuters

The UN urged Thursday an extension of the truce between Israel and Hamas to let humanitarian aid reach Gaza, hours before a three-day ceasefire was due to end. "The 72-hour-ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian factions that entered into force on 5 August must continue to hold," UN humanitarian coordinator for the Palestinian territories James Rawley said in a statement. "We need to rapidly scale-up our response to address the needs of the people in Gaza now and in the longer-term, but to do that, we need a sustained halt to the violence," Rawley said in a statement.
