"Killing a healthcare worker while on his way to provide vital medical care to wounded victims of the endless massacres across Gaza is beyond shocking; it's cynical and abhorrent." says Caroline Seguin, our operations manager for #Palestine.

@StephLoleng Wow, that sounds like a great writing and running day!

[Alison Leigh Jones @ALJonesWrites]

@dilyswt Phew! It should not be possible to have more than one big thing or three small things go wrong in a day. Hope you can laugh (or write) about it soon. <3

@emmelineschang 👏👏👏 way to go! It's such a centering way to start the second half of the year.

@KhadijahOnline What a horrible tragedy and avoidable loss. 💔 And catalyzing your experience and memories with your mother will surely be an incredible tribute.

@inkfishmagazine @kathyfish I hope you bring some to sell to the Flash Fiction Festival! (It's harder to order things from the States in Europe.)

This isn’t war. This is genocide.

Repeat it. Spread it. Let the world know.

@IfyChiejina Just wow.

Gaza is not starving. Gaza is being starved by Israel.

How do you justify starving kids to achieve your military goals?

What a shame.

[Alison Leigh Jones @ALJonesWrites]
