We have been told that Gaza’s borders are closed indefinitely. If they stay closed, @wckitchen will run out of food this week. We are cooking 1M hot meals every day. We need food deliveries every single day to feed hungry families who are not part of this war. All the NGOs in Gaza need more food, medicine, medical equipment, fuel, tents, personal care every day. We cannot wait...let the humanitarian trucks go through today! #ChefsForGaza

Wars do NOT liberate women. In wars, women only suffer: killed, raped, starve, endure periods while protecting children, fetuses, or breastfeeding newborns. ‘Liberating women’ by launching a war is a lie invented by the West to impose its power.

The interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla is another grave offence by Israel of global solidarity and sentiment that is aimed at relieving suffering in Gaza and advancing peace in the region.

On behalf of our government and nation, I call on Israel to immediately release the South Africans abducted in international waters, and to release other nationals who have tried to reach Gaza with humanitarian aid.

The interception of the flotilla in international waters is contrary to international law and violates the sovereignty of every nation whose flag was flown on the dozens of vessels in the flotilla.

This action also violates an International Court of Justice injunction that humanitarian aid must be allowed to flow unimpeded.

South Africa calls on Israel to ensure that the life-saving cargo transported by this flotilla reaches the people of Gaza, as the flotilla represents solidarity with Gaza, not confrontation with Israel.

South Africa supports the call by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights for Israel to urgently lift the blockade on Gaza and allow the entry of life-saving material through all means possible.

My thoughts are with all of the abductees and their families and it is my expectation that Israel will release the human rights activists as these abductions serve no purpose in the context of efforts to secure peace in the Middle East.

"What is unfolding in parts of Sudan is not a new conflict; it is a continuation of the Darfur genocide that began in 2003 and was never fully confronted or resolved. The question facing the world today is whether Zamzam will become Sudan’s Srebrenica moment – a massacre that finally compels international action – or whether it will join Rwanda, Gaza, and so many other sites of atrocities that triggered global outrage but no meaningful intervention." https://t.co/3QpRzJ1GKj

British surgeon Victoria Rose, who's just returned from Gaza: "They're coming through the doors like a conveyor belt... really small children with massive injuries.. bits of their bodies blown off... every day at least half [of my cases] were under the age of 11.. its barbaric"

We’ve talked about how patients at Omdurman teaching hospital currently have to share hospital beds because of lack of capacity but that doesn’t even tell the full story; often hospitals are forced to turn patients away. Like this boy whose mother has to try and treat him for cholera on the street because the hospital simply has no space left.

@KhartoumKitchen is working hard to return capacity in hospitals in Omdurman, so hospitals don’t have to turn patients away. If you are able to help us continue this work please follow the link. Thank you https://t.co/WSy1URn5Gs

This is worth 5 minutes. The most succinct explanation of the UAE role in #Sudan, among several other places across the region, and why it is seeming to risk its reputation and undermine the international consensus over these conflicts.

[Dr. Jill Stein🌻 @DrJillStein]

So grateful for every soul who won't be talked, bribed or extorted out of their humanity.

Dr. Hanadi, a doctor, a fighter, treated the wounded, fed the #children.
The news of her martyrdom (In El-Fashir) today has unleashed a wave of heartbreak and mourning across social #media, uniting #Sudanese voices around the world in grief.

Terrible News today. Abu Bakar Kaki one of the most successful Sudanese Athletes was killed today after the RSF militia shelled his home in Al Fashir.

The restless shelling of civilian neighbourhoods by this UAE armed militia has caused thousands of deaths in Al Fashir.

First Ramadan Iftar in Gaza, Palestine.

[Mat Nashed @matnashed]

During the transition, every major political or armed player dismissed the RCs as too young, too unorthodox, too leftist and thus an obstacle to progress

Fast forward, the RCs (now ERRs) are the only ones saving lives

Frightening to imagine where millions would be without them.

[Amnesty MENA @AmnestyMENA]

Israel’s decision to block humanitarian aid to Gaza is a war crime & amounts to collective punishment of the civilian population. It's a continuation of the policy to impose on Palestinians conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction. This is genocide.

Happy to share our latest article in @newhumanitarian on the impact of the US aid freeze on mutual aid groups in Sudan, Local volunteers face escalating security threats as they fight for those in need.
Huge thanks to @RawhNasir for the collaboration!

The USAID freeze has forced the closure of almost 80% of the emergency food kitchens set up to help people left destitute by Sudan's civil war, the BBC has learned. It is estimated that nearly two million people struggling to survive have been affected. https://t.co/3gpJ0xHgNz
