Increasingly dire warnings on situation in Gaza as Israel blockade continues: New Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report finds that nearly all Palestinians in Gaza Strip at "critical risk" of famine
Chose the most unhinged possible cover for the US version of my book 🥰

"A doctor believed to be the last remaining orthopaedic surgeon in northern Gaza has been killed in an Israeli strike, according to Palestinian officials." bbc.com/news/articles/…
This move comes two days after the UN warns that "The entire population of north Gaza is at risk of dying."
Israel passes bill banning UN Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA, despite US warnings the agency is “critical” to Gaza aid supply bbc.in/48mj1Vb
