People claim the foreign doctors coming back from Gaza are lying. I wish that were the case, because the truth is beyond horrific

Our dear colleague Nawraz's neice's husband and their dear children were killed this week in Gaza. Fadi, Siba, Abboud and Mohammed. The ceasefire is a sham, the genocide didn't end it just shifted gear. Justice for Gaza.

Israel continues to block most shelter equipment from entering Gaza as winter rains loom. Only about 5% of the tents agreed to under the ceasefire have been allowed in, even as Palestinian officials in Gaza say roughly 300,000 are needed.
đ¨BREAKING: Gaza in winter⌠despite claims of a âceasefire,â nothing has changed on the ground. 1.48 million Palestinians are enduring unbearable living conditions, still trapped in flooded tents and shattered shelters under the rain. As winter approaches Gaza, the suffering of

We spoke to Mai Elawawda, a Gazan who works for Medical Aid for Palestinians in Gaza, and began by asking her how she feels now people are moving back towards northern Gaza.

MAP welcomes this first phase of a ceasefire agreement in Gaza. It will bring much needed hope and relief to the Palestinians who have endured two years of Israel's siege. World leaders must ensure that this ceasefire is made permanent, and that aid can reach all who need it.

Horrendous take. People are marching to call for an end to the brutal mass slaughter of civilians. This includes more than 18,000 children who have been killed, and hundreds of thousands more who have been crushed under rubble, maimed and starved.
âItâs teenage foot-stamping.â âI just think, grow up!â Shelagh Fogarty has some strong words for those who take part in pro-Palestine marches.

People are protesting against the brutal mass slaughter of civilians, including more than 18,000 children, which the UK government has been complicit in.
I urge anyone thinking about protesting this weekend to recognise and respect the grief of British Jews. This is a moment of mourning. It is not a time to stoke tension and cause further pain. It is a time to stand together. We are a country that welcomes all people, no matter

Screaming kids. Injured kids. Broken kids. Terrified kids. Dead and dying kids. Beheaded, disemboweled and amputated by weapons from the UK. THIS is what people are protesting. Stop making dangerous conflations between genocidal Israel and British Jews. End your complicity.

Israeli forces attacked Doctors Without Borders workersâwho were all wearing marked medical vests. They killed Omar, a 42-year-old occupational therapist and sole provider for his family. He was killed at a bus stop, on his way to take care of other people bombed by Israel.
Just days after Doctors Without Borders (MSF) announced it had to stop medical work in Gaza City due to Israeli attacks, Israeli forces have killed staff member Omar Hayek & injured 4 others in Deir al Balah. Staff were wearing MSF vests, waiting for a bus to a field hospital.

It's Dr. Hishamâs 21st day working non-stop inside the PICU & NICU at Patientâs Friends Benevolent Society Hospital. The babies & children under his care are at risk amid Israel's invasion of Gaza City. The UK govt must do EVERYTHING in its power to stop Israelâs atrocities.

Israeli forces have killed at least 20,000 children in Gaza since October 2023. This is a deeply shameful statistic for our collective humanity â a horrific new low. Every single one of these 20,000 children had names, favourite subjects in school, and hopes and dreams for the

And your thoughts with the literally dozens of Palestinians killed every single day in Gaza, the majority civilian men, women, children and the elderly?
I am horrified by the terrorist attack in Jerusalem. My thoughts are with the victims and their families at this awful time.

Until you take meaningful action you are complicit in these atrocities. Shame on the UK government.
Horrified by Israelâs attack on Nasser hospital. Civilians, healthcare workers and journalists must be protected. We need an immediate ceasefire.
