The Guardian view on Israel and Gaza: Trump can stop this horror. The alternative is unthinkable | Editorial Editorial: The US president has the leverage to force through a ceasefire. If he does not, he will implicitly signal approval of what looks like a plan of total destruction

Ms Ali is always worth listening to. In her words, the unraveling of the entrenched global aid system is an invitation for us to build something better: a leaner, more effective & accountable system that truly delivers for the people it intends to serve.👇

Pope Francis brought an outsider’s eye to the papacy – with a focus on justice, ecology and humanity | Catherine Pepinster He will be remembered as one of the great communicators of Christian faith – but healing the church’s divisions was beyond him, says former Tablet editor Catherine Pepinster

Pope Francis called daily to the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza City. For whatever else he was he was fearless and outspoken in the face of grave injustice and brutality. In that he was essentially alone which speaks volumes about the age we live in.

Gaza medics issue malnutrition alert as total Israeli blockade enters fourth week Israel continues to batter territory in renewed offensive as Palestinian officials say death toll of war has passed 50,000 Malnutrition is spreading in Gaza, medics and aid workers in the devastated Palestinian territory are warning, as a total Israeli blockade of all supplies enters its fourth week. There has been no sign that Israel will open entry points to allow essential aid to flow or ease the new offensive in Gaza, which started on Tuesday with a wave of airstrikes that killed 400 people, mostly civilians, ending two months of relative calm. On Sunday, Palestinian officials said the total death toll from nearly 18 months of conflict had passed 50,000. Continue reading...

Aid workers killed in Israeli air strike in Gaza, charity tells BBC The Israeli military says it was targeting terrorists who "posed a threat to Israeli troops".

Repeat after me:

Aid workers are not targets.
Aid workers are not terrorists.
Targeting them is a war crime.
Their killing deserves impartial investigation.

All of them have been proud Americans. Many of them have risked their lives in the service of their country. I find it appalling to see them slandered en masse for doing their jobs.
