People are struggling to find clean water in Gaza.

We are ready to scale up our response, but the limited number of trucks allowed into Gaza carrying aid & fuel is preventing us from doing more.

The flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza must be restored!

🚨GAZA: In the past 48 hours, MSF staff report shots fired at people inside Nasser hospital.
Two people were killed, five others injured, including one nurse who was severely wounded.
Medical staff are afraid to move within and around the hospital due to fear of being shot...

Today @johnboyne I read this cover to cover. It has been decades since I haven't wanted to put a book down to the extent that I would spend a full day reading to the end. Moving on now to a re-read of The Cairo Trilogy...

@ArnottsDublin gourmet cafe for brunch yesterday lovely staff, great food but quality diminished by the foil butter pats.... Maybe take the time to prepare butter rolls? All it takes is a scrape of a knife on cold butter... 4 per plate would match the 2 pats I imagine 😊

@TG4TV who did the English subtitles for into the west? If you or any other channel is showing it in the future you might want to ensure their accuracy and authenticity... 'left' for 'laughed' 'wild' for 'ridin' and so on.... Lovely to see it on TV tho.. Nollaig shona dhiobh

Our teams are witnessing a shocking increase in Israeli attacks against civilians in Jenin, the West Bank. Attacks on healthcare have also increased dramatically and become systematic...

[MSF International @MSF]

As an Israeli military operation has continued for 2 days in Jenin, West Bank, people die because they can’t access hospitals. Yesterday, a man had to carry his 13-year-old son to Khalil Suleiman hospital because Israeli armored cars blocked ambulances. The boy died soon after.

Ahead of the meeting between European Heads of State, we have a message for each European leader:

We implore you to do whatever is in your power to protect the lives and dignity of Palestinians trapped in Gaza and prevent further abhorrent bloodshed...

The brutal collective punishment in #Gaza must end.

We are demanding governments to put pressure on Israel to stop the attacks on civilians and end the siege. It #MustStopNow.

@PowerUSAID @DeptofDefense When I was a little girl growing up in Dublin, the worst thing my father could say to me was 'I'm very disappointed with you'. I could have withstood his anger, even disgust, but disappointment cuts to the core. Samantha, I'm VERY disappointed with you

Never thought I'd see the day when ladies soccer would on TV on a Sunday afternoon... Long way from Herbert park @MylesDungan1 😂

[MSF International @MSF]

For two bloody months, we have seen the Israeli forces' indiscriminate attacks on Gaza target Palestinian civilians and healthcare workers. Our patients and staff have been killed. Nowhere is safe.

We call for an immediate and sustained ceasefire in Gaza.

It all #MustStopNow.
