Ahmad was bitten by a rat while he was sleeping.
In Gaza, deteriorating living conditions, including mounting waste, unsafe shelter, and limited sanitation, are exposing children to serious health risks.
UNICEF is supporting access to water and essential services, but unrestricted access to needed items is urgently required to protect children.
Dire conditions are trapping children in Gaza in an endless cycle of suffering.
“Access to water, adequate nutritious food, and health care should not be conditional for any child, anywhere.” - @UNICEFmena's Salim Oweis.

Today’s decision on prostate cancer screening will be hugely disappointing to the thousands of brave men who have campaigned for a targeted screening programme to prevent more families from losing a father, a son or a brother before their time.
For just 0.01% of the NHS budget, we could've had a targeted screening programme that would have saved lives.
Screening is now more effective than it has ever been, but the model guiding the Committee’s decision does not reflect these developments.
We must take this opportunity to save lives, reduce inequalities and bring prostate cancer screening into line with how the disease is diagnosed and treated today.
With fervent hearts, let us pray today that the Spirit of the Risen One may save us from the evil of war, which is overcome not by a superpower, but by the omnipotence of love. Let us #PrayTogether that God may free humanity from misery, which is redeemed not by immeasurable wealth, but by an inexhaustible gift.
Dire conditions in Gaza marked by continuing violence, rodent infestations and the spread of infectious disease are being made worse by blockages of essential medical supplies, UN agencies said on Friday.

Petition: Introduce a screening programme for prostate cancer, starting with high-risk men
We are calling on the Government to reassess the UK National Screening Committee’s (UK NSC) draft recommendation not to offer prostate cancer screening to anyone except men with BRCA1/2 genetic variants, and to introduce screening for all high-risk men.

If we were take this at face value - which not many will - this should also cause outrage over homophobic conduct only being worthy of an effective two game ban.
Read this detailed account from @ZeinakhodrAljaz of the sequence of events leading to the killing of Leb journalist Amal Khalil. Her editors; Leb Pres; Red Cross, were all informed and appealed for help. The Israeli military bombed her shelter anyway then prevented her rescue for hours, attacking the ambulance crews. Targeting journalists and first responders is a heinous breach of int law - no matter their affiliation, no matter it was inside Israeli-occupied land. Leb PM is demanding accountability and calls her killing a ‘blatant war crime’
Israel’s murder of journalists continues. The details of what happened to Amal Khalil are horrific. The Red Cross tried to rescue her but were themselves fired on.
How is Israel allowed such total impunity? Why is the international press not in uproar?
Without a change of direction in the assumption of political responsibility, and without respect for institutions and international agreements, humanity's destiny risks being tragically compromised. God does not want this. His holy Name must not be profaned by the desire for domination, arrogance, or discrimination. Above all, it must never be invoked to justify death-dealing choices and actions.
مهدي، 10 أعوام، يعود إلى ما تبقّى من منزل جده في بيروت.
كان هذا المكان يومًا مليئًا باللحظات اليومية والذكريات، لكنه اليوم أصبح ركامًا.
يقول: "كنت آتي إلى هنا كل يوم بعد المدرسة لأجلس معه ونتحدث… أما الآن فلا أستطيع."
مثل كثير من الأطفال في لبنان، يعود مهدي بعد وقف إطلاق النار ليجد الأماكن المألوفة قد غيّرتها الحرب، وليبدأ رحلة التعافي الطويلة.
Since yesterday’s fixture against Brighton, which took place during the Premier League’s No Room For Racism weekend, Kevin Danso has been, and continues to be, subject to significant and abhorrent racist abuse on social media.
There is no place for racism at Tottenham Hotspur. There is no place for racism in football.

Today we think of those whose lives were forever changed on the 15th of April 1989, the thousands still campaigning against other injustices and we recommit to the fight for a full Hillsborough Law.
