My wife and I were put into a hotel room like this on our first holiday together. We were young and impulsive, in love and all of that, but there was no way we were staying in that room.

What is one thing our colleagues lost, miss and cannot escape in #Gaza? Hear our staff reflect on living and working through the genocide.

Doctors Without Borders calls for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the bloodshed.

I have no words. This is heartbreaking and disgusting in equal measure:

Eurovision - Ban Israel now! More and more countries are calling for Israel to be banned. Join in this critical moment – and push Eurovision to act!

There are few things I truly hate more than Eurovision, but one of them is whitewashing a genocide.

Hamada Sho: I Can No Longer Feed Kids in Gaza "What is happening in Gaza today is bigger than my personal story," writes Hamada Sho. "Hunger has become a weapon."

An interview with Hamada Sho in this month’s Time magazine. In the early days of the war he prepared meals for the kids in Gaza using what supplies he could find. Unable to find food, he now distributes clean water. An amazing, kind and inspiring man in an unimaginably awful situation

Israeli public figures call for β€˜crippling sanctions’ on Israel over Gaza starvation Thirty-one high-profile Israelis accuse Tel Aviv of β€˜brutal campaign’ and demand permanent ceasefire in letter

It’s a shame things have come this far before these these voices have been raised, but it’s a small step in the right direction

After deliberately blocking humanitarian assistance from entering Gaza for 78 days, Israel has begun allowing in a β€œbasic amount” of aid.

Israeli authorities’ blockade and use of starvation of civilians as a weapon of war amounts to war crimes and acts of genocide.

Love this!
