Last night, an airstrike on a tent in Mawasi – a so-called “safe zone” in #Gaza - reportedly killed 5 children, including 3 boys and 2 girls aged 7-13 years old, and injured others.
Children have nowhere to be protected from bombs, cold, disease and hunger.
This must stop, now.
The UN has accused Israel of continuing to “systematically” hinder aid to Gaza as local authorities say a seventh forcibly displaced Palestinian has died of hypothermia amid plummeting temperatures.

2024 has been a masterclass in climate destruction:
Biodiversity destroyed in sweltering seas;
Workers collapsing in insufferable heat;
Floods tearing through communities;
Droughts ravaging crops.
All these disasters are supercharged by human-made climate change.
We need #ClimateAction.
And we need it now.

@DRThorburn No real problem with the programme itself....but the "festive" promotion of the programme esp on the TV ads this year really doesn't feel like the right tone! Commodification or 'Vibesation" of what should be a thoughtful and empathetic act.

@DahliaHarris He could be out at 57 if he serves the full sentence....And he may not have to. Given everything about this crime, why is there even a possibility of parole.... https://t.co/H8riwSLGPU

In war, it is children who suffer first and suffer most.
Our spokesperson, @1james_elder, reports on the terrifying situation for children and families in Gaza as fighting resumes.
The scenes of carnage & death following attacks on Alfakhoura & Tal Al Zaatar schools in #Gaza killing many children & women are horrific & appalling. These horrible attacks should cease immediately. Children, schools & shelters are not a target. Immediate ceasefire needed now !
