The Israeli occupation restricts the movements of many Palestinians but there are people like the Sirdah sisters who are committed to birdwatching & spreading awareness about bird conservation in Palestine. Read their story here. https://t.co/FMFGhO7bAE

Draconian Israeli regulations make it difficult to access the binoculars and long camera lenses they need, but bird-watchers are flourishing in the Gaza Strip.

The more I am learning about the Palestinian struggle, the more I discover about its abundant biodiversity. So, I made this to highlight some of the birds found in Palestine. One day, all life in Palestine will be free. 🇵🇸

The Met Police has apologised to Stephen Lawrence's mother for breaking a promise to answer questions raised by a BBC investigation into his murder. Baroness Doreen Lawrence told the BBC the inquiry into his death 31 years ago should be reopened https://t.co/rKEZERRR9P
