"In #Gaza, malnutrition has become a tragedy and a widespread reality”. An UNRWA doctor describes how they now have malnourished children on a daily basis. “The situation has worsened dramatically since the siege started in March 2025. Families report surviving on just one meal…
“It is absolutely horrific — even for those whose mission is to serve others,” says UNRWA Sam Rose to @CNN. “Our staff are collapsing in offices, fainting from hunger and thirst.” Survival in #Gaza now means searching for one meal a day — or going days on end without any food.…
"Gaza: airdrops will not reverse the deepening starvation. They are expensive, inefficient and can even kill starving civilians. It is a distraction and screensmoke. A manmade hunger can only be addressed by political will. Lift the siege, open the gates and guarantee safe…
These are the faces of desperate children in Gaza as deadly malnutrition reaches catastrophic levels. Amid the horrific hunger crisis, the need for humanitarian aid, at scale, has never been greater. Safe, unrestricted access into Gaza must be urgently granted. via @UNRWA
“Gaza is more than a humanitarian crisis. It is a moral crisis that challenges the global conscience.” – @antonioguterres says the UN will continue to speak out at every opportunity about the tragedy unfolding in Gaza and the need to release all hostages, immediately.

Feed the Children of Gaza, no child should be starving.
Great run from Sharpen to be 2nd. Only her 4th start. Feels like there is plenty to come. @mcstayagent and I purchased 6 yearlings in 2023, and she makes our second stakes horse to go along with Lush Lips! Congrats to our partners!
Good luck to Sharpen in the Marble City Stakes tomorrow at Gowran Park Racecourse! #medallionracing #medallioneurope #gowranpark @pshelton8

Great to listen to Pat Shanahan who is coming out of retirement to take part in the Pat Smullen charity race in aid of @cancertrials_ie on Sat Aug 30th. 22 riders taking part this year. We hope to break the €1 million mark raised this year. €840,000 raised in 4 years so far.
🗣️ "I'm probably lighter now than when I was race riding!" Good stuff from Pat Shanahan recalling special memories with @Franmberry at @curraghrace
ICYMI #Ghaiyyath sired his first winner with his first runner in Japan on Saturday when his two-year-old colt Zaafir powered home to win on debut at Fukushima 🏆🇯🇵 He was sold for €150,000 by @Highpark12 at the @Goffs1866 November Foal Sale in 2023 👏
