‘The hunger first targets those with pre-existing health conditions. Said has Cerebral Palsy and has gone for 3 days surviving only on water.’ Such heartbreaking scenes from Gaza, where ‘people are neither dead or alive, but walking corpses.’ 😢 #C4News #GazaGenocide
'The World Food Programme says 1/3 of Palestinians, that's some 700,000 people are not eating at all for several days in a row.' Good but shocking report by @jrug #c4news

Amanda Thorpe says she was in turmoil after her husband told her he ‘didn’t want to be here any more’. The former England and Surrey cricketer Graham Thorpe told his wife he “wanted to go to Switzerland” weeks before his death, an inquest has heard. (£)thetimes.com/sport/cricket/…
