The scenes of starving Palestinians being forced to scramble for food aid, corralled into caged areas like animals, are so distressing to watch and further dehumanise people in Gaza, who have been stripped of all rights. Necropolitical violence beyond what anyone could imagine.

Journalists 👇 If you quote the death toll in Gaza but feel compelled to qualify it by casting doubt on the “Health Ministry’s” figures, ask yourself this: Why do you believe Palestinians can’t even be trusted to count their dead while under bombardment without Israeli

“The world is failing on a moral level, on an ethical level, and on a practical level.” British surgeon Tom Potokar, who is currently working in Gaza, described the humanitarian situation in the besieged strip as “the worst” he has seen in his lifetime

“This initiative seems to be a cynical ploy to feign compliance with International Humanitarian Law. In practice, it uses aid as a tool to forcibly displace people as part of what appears to be a broader strategy to ethnically cleanse the Gaza Strip - and to justify the

One of the new militarized distribution points in #Gaza has been established on the site where Israeli forces killed and buried 15 first responders in a mass grave in March; a grotesque symbol of how life, and that which sustains it, is being both erased and controlled in Gaza.

Breaking:🚨Over 200 Palestinians were killed or injured this morning when an Israeli tank opened fire on a crowd waiting for food aid. Nader Hospital is overwhelmed with the dead and wounded. Another heartbreaking day. Dr. Rosie reports again from Gaza.

Susan Sarandon's wonderful words while delivering a speech on Palestine: "Human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, and kindness. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. 1/3

If we remember those times and places—and there are many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. 2/3

The future is an infinite succession of presence. And to live now, as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvellous victory." 3/3

Some incredible students in Gaza have worked tirelessly with colleagues here to secure scholarships to study in UK. They have succeeded. Their universities have issued them places. The funds are in place. The Home Office MUST NOW make provision for their evacuation & visas 1/

Home Office The ONLY thing preventing students from taking up their places is visas & evacuation. At present no visas are being issued. Offices closed in May 2024. It's taken herculean efforts to get paper work together by students and institutions alike. The numbers are shamefully small 2/
