Update from Mr Morgan McMonagle, Irish Surgeon, volunteering at Nasser Hospital, Gaza. He is treating multiple children with severe injuries, including a 12 year old girl, shot by IOF helicopter. 'We worked on her until 3am. She will most likely lose both legs and an arm.'

The apologies will eventually come, but it will be too late. Our healthcare worker colleagues in Palestine are being massacred. An entire population is being extinguished and starved. Be against genocide now. We are all more free and safe when Palestine is free.

Starvation, mass killings and intensified mass expulsions. After more than 17 months of permanent displacement, in the last 10 days “over 140,000 people were forced to flee due to the Israeli authorities evacuation orders.”

Gaza has become a “mass grave” for Palestinians and those helping them. Israeli forces are systematically destroying Palestinian life and showing a blatant disregard for the safety of humanitarian and medical workers: msf.org/gaza-has-becom…

History will record that American universities welcomed Israeli officials as they committed genocide and punished the students who opposed it.

The crimes Israel is committing against the Palestinian people are only possible with international complicity. Omar has been a leading voice speaking against that for years. All States who say they support HRDs should be calling for his freedom of movement to be respected.

WHY: after 19m of genocidal violence, and 60 days without a grain of rice entering Gaza, Palestinians have to be "shown" to the world while scrambling for food as if they were gasping for air, grabbing it from filty grounds, getting hurt while seeking a hole in the human flesh

Josep Borrell, former EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, criticized the EU’s failure to influence Israel, saying expressing regret is not enough. In his speech while receiving the Charles V Prize, he stated: •What’s happening in Gaza is “the largest ethnic cleansing
