#C4News last night reported on the wholesale targeting of ambulances & paramedics in Lebanon by Israel, including the recent 'triple hit', when Israel attacked an ambulance, then attacked paramedics who went to help, and then attacked further paramedics also trying to help.
The President of the United States has threatened genocide against the Iranian people.
This is an open admission of the intent to commit crimes against humanity. How on earth can the world just sit by and let Trump get away with such depravity?
Our own government’s complicity, appeasement and moral failure has brought us to this moment.
The Prime Minister must, at a minimum, revoke the use of British air bases for US bombers — and demand an immediate end to the illegal attacks on Iran, now.
Reeling from the news that dear friends @ftounifatima and @cheib1970 have been killed in an I$raeli strike in the south of Lebanon.
Heartbroken beyond words. And make no mistake that this was a deliberate, targeted assassination of journalists. A war crime.
We owe them a debt that can never be repaid. Words are not enough right now
Rest in power. We will continue our work in your honour.
Over the past 29 months the devastating, multilayered impact of Israel’s ongoing genocide has pushed Palestinian women and girls in the occupied Gaza Strip to the brink.
Women in Gaza are being denied the conditions needed to live and to give life safely.

Anyone who sees this tweet must share it.
All the orphans I used to help in northern Gaza have contacted me again asking for assistance bc all their tents were blown away by the winter storms.
Anyone who wants to help DM me.
🚨 BREAKING: The government has tabled their plan to restrict repeat protests.
Demonstrations could now banned based on the 'cumulative disruption' that previous protests have caused in the area - regardless of if they have been organised by the same people or not.
Today marks another tragic milestone in occupied West Bank as the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces & settlers rises to 1001 since 7 October 2023. A fifth of those killed are children.
There must be an end to the bloodshed. Annexation in West Bank needs to be reversed. There must be accountability for all violations of intl law - @volker_turk

“We have been left with no choice but to stop our activities, as our clinics are encircled by Israeli forces... This is the last thing we wanted.”
We have been forced to suspend our activities and leave Gaza City.

❗️ALERT❗️@gbsumudflotilla has been attacked 7 times in a short span! Boats hit with sound bombs, explosive flares, and sprayed with suspected chemicals. Radios jammed, calls for help blocked. Immediate international attention AND PROTECTION required!
Hands off the Flotilla!
I want u to hear these 2 doctors from Australia sending their last words, fully aware they could be killed any second.
What they’re describing is horror that defies belief.
70% of their patients are kids…
“It is clear there is an intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza through acts that meet the criteria set forth in the Genocide Convention.”
UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry's report shows #Israel has committed #genocide in #Gaza.

Israeli forces have destroyed what remained of the Islamic University of Gaza.
After two airstrikes, the building was left standing, damaged but not collapsed. Families, desperate to retrieve belongings they couldn’t take during the brief window they were given before the strikes, returned to the site.
As they entered the building, a third strike hit.
Many are now buried beneath the rubble.
Everyone shared news & NGO statements about what “will” happen in Gaza City, but we have a responsibility to stop this & alleviate the reality on the ground. Mutual aid is still a support front.
