  • Joe Biden
    Joe Biden “It's a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. I am working on a deal to end the fighting and build a lasting and durable peace. Leadership is about fighting through the most intractable problem. It's about channeling anger, frustration and heartbreak to find a solution. It's about doing what you believe is right, even when it's hard and lonely.” 19 hours ago
  • Sylvain Ekenge
    Sylvain Ekenge “An attempted coup d'etat has been put down by the defence and security forces. The attempt involved foreigners and Congolese. These foreigners and Congolese have been put out of action, including their leader.” 21 hours ago
  • Martin Griffiths
    Martin Griffiths “When very, very experienced humanitarian aid workers, who have been in all kinds of places around the world for decades, when they go to Gaza - to help, to serve, to work - it is traumatising for them. So, God help what it must be for the people of Gaza. It is really difficult and it's getting worse daily. We meet with Israelis daily through COGAT, the committee set up for this purpose. We have many detailed discussions with them about security, about the movement of our trucks and convoys, about the priorities for fuel, but the fact of the matter is, we are not in a position to provide proper aid to the people of Gaza. Right now, it's not ever been quite as difficult as it is today. Much more can be done and ideally, obviously and hopefully this [Israeli military] operation needs to stop.” 22 hours ago

“We can expect that there will be high or extreme stress on hospital beds in 25 countries, and high or extreme stress in intensive care units (ICUs) in 49 out of 53 countries between now and 1 March 2022. Cumulative reported deaths are projected to reach over 2.2 million by spring next year, based on current trends.”

“Quite frankly, some countries are in such a difficult situation now that they're going to find it hard not to put in place restrictive measures at least for a short period of time to reduce the intensity of transmission. Other countries can re-engage with communities around masks, around avoiding crowded spaces, around limiting their contact with others, work from home and many other initiatives and very importantly increasing vaccine coverage in high-risk populations.”

“Last week, there was an 11 percent increase in the number of deaths in the region - one reliable projection is expecting 236,000 deaths in Europe, by December 1. In the past six weeks, it [vaccination uptake] has fallen by 14 percent, influenced by a lack of access to vaccines in some countries and a lack of vaccine acceptance in others. Vaccine scepticism and science denial is holding us back from stabilising this crisis. It serves no purpose, and is good for no one.”

“Events over the last 15 months have shown that the European Union has been part of the solution and that together we have made two major breakthroughs; an agreement on how we will recover together after the epidemic and the production, development and the distribution of the [COVID-19] vaccine.”

“This is taking place in the context of a rapidly evolving situation. A new variant of concern - the Delta variant - and in a region where, despite tremendous efforts by member states, millions remain unvaccinated. There will be a new wave in the WHO European region unless we remain disciplined. [Half of elderly people and 40% of healthcare workers still unprotected] That is unacceptable, and that is far from the recommended 80 percent coverage of the adult population. The three conditions for a new wave of excess hospitalisations and deaths before the autumn are therefore in place: New variants, deficit in vaccine uptake, increased social mixing.”

“I think Europe and many other countries around the world are, or at least the population perceives, that they are in an endless cycle of epidemics going up, and epidemics going down, and that cycle is accompanied by lockdowns and subsequent relaxations. That puts a lot of pressure on the population to keep the morale high, it is not easy … and I think that the only solution to stop that endless cycle is going to be the vaccination programme.”

“There is growing COVID fatigue among our citizens … But we should not let up now. Not only does the situation remain serious in many parts of Europe, but we must also watch for the new variants that are spreading.”

“Once the infection rates sink, and they will sink, then we can be as free as we want. But right now? Should ski resorts open? Under what conditions?”

“We will try to get a vote in Europe on whether we could close all ski resorts. Unfortunately, considering announcements from Austria, it doesn't look like we can do that so easily, but we will try again.”

“Right now, the entire planet is in trouble. If you look at almost every country, there are very few exceptions. The European Union, if you look at the number of new infections, it's out of sight. The United States is out of sight. Canada, which was supposedly doing so well, is also getting into trouble. There's a lot of community spread. We've got to be able to test widely in the community for asymptomatic spreaders of the infection. If you just test people who are symptomatic, you're going to miss a very large contingent of the spread of infection in the community.”

“Within the space of just a few weeks, the situation has escalated from worrying to alarming. Now we must avoid a tragedy. Until the anticipated vaccines start to be administered on a massive scale, the only way to contain the epidemic while maintaining activity is to identify infected persons at a very early stage so that they can self-isolate and avoid infecting others. At European level, this plan of action has not achieved the desired results.”

“The evolving epidemiological situation in Europe raises great concern: daily cases are up, hospital admissions are up and Covid is now the fifth leading cause of deaths. We are recording two to three times more cases per day compared with April, but five times fewer deaths, and hospital admissions are taking two to three times longer to double. The pandemic today is not the pandemic yesterday – not only in terms of its transmission dynamic, but in the ways we are now equipped to face it.”

“Let's be absolutely clear about what's happening in Europe, amongst some of our European friends — I'm afraid you are starting to see in some places the signs of a second wave of the pandemic. And we all remember what happened last time. It's absolutely vital, therefore, that we make the necessary preparations here in the U.K. as we are doing.”
