I FEEL NO PEACE (2023) my book on violence, persecution and exploitation of Rohingya out now with @HurstPublishers. Journalist @guardian global development desk
Put on headphones and please try to listen through this piece We've tried to capture what Palestinians in Gaza hear daily - the constant buzz of Israeli drones punctuated by explosions, gunfire, sirens - and the stress these sounds put on minds and bodies theguardian.com/world/ng-inter…
It is simply remarkable how much the recent pivots to condemning Israel are premised on fabricating a recent watershed, on summoning a new history of events. Hind Rajab was killed a year and a half ago. The ICJ case was filed in 2023.
“My children have become skeletal, skin and bone...even the slightest effort makes them dizzy. They sit down again, asking for food, and I have nothing to give. I can’t lie and say I’ll bring them something when I know I won’t be able to.” theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…
Eleven-minute race for food: how aid points in Gaza became ‘death traps’ – a visual story Hundreds of people have died while seeking food since delivery was taken over by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in May. But Palestinians facing extreme hunger have no choice but to take…
“You always know that it could be you who gets shot, or it might be someone next to you.” This is in the minds of Palestinians who see death when they seek aid from the GHF militarised food distribution sites. Still they go because they have no choice theguardian.com/global-develop…

Almost a decade without a crime, without a trial and without a voice. Rohingya refugees in Malaysian detention need the world to act. Share their story. Demand their release. 🔗 #FreeRohingyaDetainees #JusticeForRohingya #MalaysiaDetention #HumanRightsNow
Peaceful protests continue in the Agadez center, and violations also continue by @UNHCRNiger, which cuts off food to refugees, in the presence of children, women, the sick, the disabled, and the elderly.@antonioguterres @FilippoGrandi @JFCrisp @IOMchief @sighahh @KellyTClements
We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol. Those lists include some 1,400 names. None of the names of the 238 Venezuelan deportees matched those on the lists. propublica.org/article/trump-…
Palestinians in Gaza could have as little space to live in as a single sofa as a result of Israel’s push the entire population into a tiny part of southern Gaza on.ft.com/4mHB7rm
#Gaza: We warned against the militarized & politicized «aid» hubs that today ended in chaos and aid stolen & diverted from families in need. This fiasco could have been averted if our normal humanitarian system had not been blocked for months by Israel. timesofisrael.com/gazans-overrun…

We spoke about the RSF’s attack on Zamzam and what it means for the hundreds of thousands displaced in Darfur by the militia’s takeover of the region in today’s episode of Today in Focus theguardian.com/news/audio/202…
Typical RSF tactics: "While at least half of Zamzam’s population has fled, a significant number are unable to. Residents accuse the RSF of holding them hostage and using them as human shields to prevent the Sudanese army from launching a counterattack."theguardian.com/global-develop…
This is an important read
I’ve been speaking all week to survivors from the RSF’s attack on Zamzam last weekend, when they stormed the camp for displaced people, killed hundreds, burned down homes and chanted racial slurs as they went. theguardian.com/global-develop…
This is the scene in Tawila in Darfur after the RSF’s attack on Zamzam camp. People settling in the open after days-long journeys by foot or on carts with the elderly and injured.
