Read this. It's remarkable. The UN is begging - literally begging - Israel to allow it to deliver to Gaza 160,000 pallets of food aid it has ready to go. Israel will not allow that. There is only one inescapable conclusion: Israel is deliberately starving Gaza to death.
Enough. We demand rapid, safe, and unimpeded access to starving civilians in Gaza. We have a plan. We have thousands of trucks of food at the border. Let us in. Let us work. https://t.co/J55f8shIEU

Absolutely horrific reports of Flour Massacre in Gaza. Israeli forces targeting people desperately waiting for food for their emaciated families. @LeoVaradkar @EamonRyan @MichealMartinTD please keep pressure at EU & we must do more to help end #GazaGenocide & ensure #CeasefireNOW
“Reporting from the scene, Al Jazeera’s Ismail al-Ghoul said that after opening fire, Israeli tanks advanced and ran over many of the dead and injured bodies. “It is a massacre, on top of the starvation threatening citizens in Gaza,” he said.”

The judgment of Lord Harrower in the judicial review of the Cost of Living (Tenant Protection) emergency measures has just been published. The headline news is the coalition representing landlords has not been successful in challenging the legislation.

This is what genocide looks like. These are the 2913 Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military this month, as of Thursday, October 26. As the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza intensify, we recognize with horror and grief that this death toll is already inaccurate. 1/5

"The situation you can never describe. It's never been like this. I witnessed the 4 wars in Gaza before. This is the most intense & horrible one… The collateral damage is only on civilians. Now when you go to the hospitals…what you will see is children."
“When you go to the hospitals, in the Emergency Department what you will see is children.” Deputy Medical Coordinator for MSF in Gaza tells @mattfrei about the “collateral damage on civilians” in Gaza. https://t.co/k3IGCpNVjE

Sadly, couldn't take up an invite to talk at this, but it looks really worthwhile.
The People Property and Community Research Centre is hosting a workshop on Housing and Tenant Activism & the Law on 14 Oct @UoSLawSchool. The workshop will chart how tenants have organised to challenge, disrupt, & imagine alternatives to the housing crisis in the UK/Europe
