What a heartbreaking, beautiful tribute to Mazen & all the disappeared, heroes all of them. The day will come soon when justice will be done. Rest in peace Mazen. You will always be in our hearts.
Damascus bids farewell to Mazen Al Hamadah. Rest in peace, Mazen.
"I want to be clear – what is being done to Palestinians in Gaza is barbaric and entirely preventable." Dr Nick Maynard (@maynard_nick) has been working at Nasser Hospital in Gaza with MAP's latest Emergency Medical Team. Read his opinion piece 👇 ow.ly/i2lY50Wt8tG
Even Spain & Ireland. #GazaGenocide complicity.
More than two dozen countries have issued a statement calling for an immediate end to Israel's war on the Gaza Strip, saying the suffering there has 'reached new depths', yet they continue to trade with it. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/1lpddd
Someone asked me today if I’ve become desensitized from all the videos I see. Absolutely not. They will haunt us forever
Your charity, your words of shock after the genocide, won’t make a difference. We will not accept your apology after the genocide. What has been done, has been done. I want you to look in the mirror, and ask: where was I when Gaza was going through a genocide?
Rows of white body bags lined up outside Suweida hospital. Most of the dead are unidentified and will be buried in a mass grave near the hospital in the hope that a full investigation will be made later, @AlexCrawfordSky reports. news.sky.com/story/rows-of-…
Israel's destruction of Gaza: almost nothing is left of Khan Yunis, satellite photos show haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
It's good the media tone is shifting. It's good they're publishing horrific images the world needs to see. Keep it coming. Keep exposing the horror. Don't stop. But for those who have suddenly shifted to this after running cover for a genocide for 20 months, we won't forget.
The Israeli army killed today the Palestinian journalist Walaa Jaabary with her husband and all their 4 children. Walaa was pregnant with another child when she was killed. That brings the number of Palestinian journalist killed in Gaza to 231.
The air strike that I posted about yesterday evening which showed the killed fetus was of an entire family. And it was a journalist and her husband and children. The journalist was Walaa al-Jabari and her husband and their 4 children. The fetus was her baby.
This is one of those images you instantly know will appear in history books of the future. And people will wonder how we allowed this to happen.
Western countries will never be forgiven for their role in the deliberate and mass starvation of innocent children, in front of our eyes, in the year 2025. Genocide.

i keep thinking about this picture. a child killed by starvation and the mother who has to hold her lifeless baby for the sake of a photograph before she is allowed to bury him so the world knows that its complicit in their genocide.

The Daily Express is the most right-wing mainstream newspaper in Britain. It now has a better position on Gaza than the Labour government.
A Harvard publisher canceled an entire special issue of a journal on education and Palestine that planned to cover topics from the annihilation of Gaza’s schools to the challenges of teaching about Israel and Palestine in the United States. trib.al/pBFBGfZ
More arrests in Edinburgh. One of the signs which led to an arrest under the Terrorism Act says: “Those who take action against genocide in Palestine are not the terrorists”
Our powerful @Daily_Express front page for tomorrow. The brutal suffering in Gaza must end. The shocking image shows Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq, one, who weighs the same as three-month old baby due to the humanitarian crisis following the continued blocking of basic aid…
Spoke to the Foreign Secretary this morning about the situation in Gaza - here's a brief clip...
The hunger crisis in Gaza has reached astonishing levels of desperation with a third of the population not eating for multiple days in a row, reports @WFP. A quarter face famine-like conditions. ~100,000 women and children suffer severe acute malnutrition. news.un.org/en/story/2025/…
Contradictions: Lammy says RAF flights over Gaza are ‘not sharing info with Israel’ - but previously they were, ‘only’ to help locate hostages. If UK not assisting, why have IAF planes landed in England? Why was IAF chief Bar welcomed at UK air tattoo? theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
To be clear: the EU could *make* Israel open the gates to virtually unlimited aid into Gaza on a day's notice. Not doing so is a choice. (And I am talking about purely diplomatic and economic levers.)
