Today, #HRC47 will meet under Item 7 - supposedly addressing Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories.

Our dependence on #digital technologies during the pandemic has exacerbated inequalities, as many older persons struggled to access essential goods & services. Policy makers must ensure digital inclusion.
