More than 3,750 days have passed since the enforced disappearance of Dr. Sulaiman Al-Duwish, who went missing in April 2016 after posting a series of tweets indirectly criticizing the policies of King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. https://t.co/tddoiQ9GlF
You can argue, if you want, that a nuclear deterrent is necessary to keep us “safe” — and many would rightly disagree.
But it is completely false to suggest that arms manufacturing is re-industrialisation and thus “good for the economy” — all evidence suggests spending that same budget amount on education, infrastructure, green transition, or health would be far more economically productive with much more significant fiscal multiplier effects.
The arms industry is highly capital intensive, automated, and has low levels of secondary economic impacts.
22,000 apprenticeships is nothing compared to the jobs that could be created by investing that same amount of money in pretty much any other productive sector.
Where to Lay This Heart is a powerful fourth volume of poetry by Mohammed Moussa. Containing nearly 200 poems that confront loss across the land, the body, and the soul, this 2026 collection is brought to you by the Gaza Poets Society.
We should all spend the rest of our lives weeping over our helplessness in the face of this tragedy.
She lost her three children at the beginning of the war. Later, she gave birth to another baby and named him Zaid—her last hope. But at dawn today, Zaid was killed in an airstrike that hit a home in the Bureij refugee camp in the Gaza Strip. 💔
The IDF has killed four people in Gaza, including two children, overnight. Since the “ceasefire” began, an average of 4 people have been killed and 13 wounded by the IDF in Gaza each day. Overall, the IDF has killed more than 1,214 people since the “ceasefire” came into effect.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court has granted permission to appeal the Court of Appeal judgment on the Palestine Action ban.
We will be arguing in the Supreme Court that the ban is unlawful, as it is disproportionate to free speech and the right to protest.
The fight continues.
I am heartbroken to share this devastating follow-up.
Yesterday, I posted about a child who was killed in an Israeli strike on an apartment in al-Bureij Camp in central Gaza at 3:10 a.m.
I have since received his photo and learned his age.
Zaid Nofal was just one year and a half old.
The tragedy is even more devastating. Zaid was his parents’ only surviving child after Israel had already killed their three other children in an earlier strike.
I have just searched for information about his siblings and found that they were killed when their home in Jabalia Camp was struck on October 13, 2023. They were:
Ameen Nofal, 16 years old
Hamza Nofal, 11 years old
Ahmad Nofal, under one year old
Human rights activist #Mohammed_AlOtaibi has entered his tenth year in Saudi prisons since his arrest in 2017 at Hamad International Airport while attempting to travel to Norway. He was forcibly returned by the Qatari authorities to Riyadh and remains imprisoned to this day.
Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya, Director of Al-Shifa Medical Complex:
▪️ Around 5,000 new cases of chickenpox and skin diseases are being recorded every week due to the spread of epidemics and the lack of vaccines and medicines in displacement centers.
▪️ Four to five cancer patients die every day after being deprived of chemotherapy. Meanwhile, the conditions of kidney failure patients and children with diabetes continue to deteriorate because of severe shortages of medications and insulin.
🇮🇪 Irish universities are raising alarm after more than 20 Palestinian students from Gaza accepted onto fully funded scholarships were denied study visas, a sharp reversal from last year, when more than 80 were admitted and evacuated.
Refusal letters cite missing original bank statements, gaps in education, and insufficient proof students will return home, requirements lawyers and universities say are virtually impossible amid Gaza’s destruction and lack of postal service. More than 12 Irish institutions have offered places.
Recovery teams recovered the remains of 99 Palestinians from beneath the rubble of a home in Gaza City's Sabra neighborhood, while around 8,000 Palestinians are still believed to be trapped under the rubble across the Gaza Strip due to ongoing destruction and limited rescue resources.
The people of Jabalia's dangerous yellow-line neighborhoods have been abandoned by almost every part of the healthcare system. There are no hospitals nearby. There are no emergency departments. There are very few functioning clinics. If someone is injured, critically ill, or in need of urgent medical care, the nearest hospital is roughly 45 minutes away - a journey many cannot safely make or even afford!
That is why The Sameer Project’s Tawbah Clinic exists. Support now: https://t.co/LLwKJegeB1
Every day, our team treats hundreds of patients with injuries, infections, chronic diseases, malnutrition, and other life-threatening, ongoing, or acute conditions. For many families, we are not just the closest clinic - we are the only lifeline they have.
Keeping our doors open costs an average of $2,050 every day for medications and essential medical supplies alone. As more people learn that help is available, more patients arrive seeking treatment. That means we need more antibiotics, more wound care supplies, more chronic disease medications, more pediatric medicines, and more of everything that keeps this clinic functioning not just for new patients, but daily follow ups too.
The need is growing, there truly is no other option. We cannot afford to let this lifeline disappear. Donate to The Sameer Project’s Medical Campaign link and actually save lives: https://t.co/LLwKJegeB1

As Israeli bullets continue to rain down across Gaza, at least SIX Palestinians have been wounded by them since this morning in Central and Southern Gaza.
The Israeli army demolished a 120-year-old Palestinian home in the village of Ni'lin in the West Bank, claiming it did not have a building permit.
How can Israel require a building permit for a house that was built decades before the State of Israel even existed?
Air shelling in Gaza City, Yarmouk Mosque specifically, and we transported a serious head injury
The situation in Gaza is becoming more dangerous and the war begins gradually
