⚡️🇺🇳JUST IN: The United Nations has reported that six attempts to deliver humanitarian aid to besieged areas in northern Gaza were prevented over the past two days.
We’re not asking you to end the genocide, we’re demanding an end to our complicity in it, a complete arms embargo, and actual opposition to these historic crimes, ie sanctions on Israel. In short: follow international law! Yet you continue to refuse, and continue to lie to us.
Dear world,
I am writing to you now, at dawn from the middle of Gaza, and starvation has been tearing me apart. We are sleeping starving, and wake up on severe pain in our stomaches. Can you stop the genocide, please?
Hello world, my family and I now live in the so-called (staircase house) in the shelter centre, This world cannot accommodate us.

From a peer support group -NDIA implementing questionable practices without legislative changes. A parent reports their child's funding suspended, providers told to use manual payments. Violates NDIS Act Section 37 on plan effectiveness. Due process is absent. #SaveOurNDIS
Life expectancy has dropped in Australia for the first time in decades, a new government report says - ABC News.

Utterly disgraceful and extraordinary that Labor has suspended a first term, young Muslim woman for standing up for Palestine. This Labor gov has done more to sanction Fatima Payman than Israel for committing a genocide. Over 40k Palestinians murdered and this is what Labor does.
Wow. FYI, each line here references real moments Palestines have spoken of - "by their hands", refers to the practice of kids writing names on their arms and limbs in case of dismemberment; "bracelets", the same; the absence in the fuel and food lines; distinctive hair...
There is no other way to say this: the (lack of) reaction to the scenes of sheer carnage, burned refugee bodies, and decapitated babies coming out of Rafah tonight from the U.S. political and media establishments is nothing other than the normalizing, the banalizing, of genocide.
A segment from @democracynow's powerful interview w/ Annelle Sheline, who resigned from the State Department over the US's pro-genocide policy in Gaza:
Amy Goodman: "You said you're haunted by the final social media post of Aaron Bushnell the 25-year-old US Air Force serviceman who self-immolated in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington on February 25th. You quote him, "many of us like to ask ourselves what would I do if I was alive during slavery or the Jim Crow south or apartheid, what would I do if my country was committing genocide? The answer is you're doing it right now." If you can explain what that meant to you."
Annelle Sheline: "That post spoke to me & many people who had to really look at what they were doing...I have a young daughter & I I thought about it, in the future if she were to ask me, "what were you doing when this was happening, you were at the State Department. I I want to be able to tell her that I didn't stay silent."
