For nearly a century, @washingtonpost foreign correspondents have been on the frontlines of wars, pandemics, economic crises, civil uprisings and so much more. Washington needs us. The world needs us. If you read us and need us, please watch and share.

Israel justified its strike on the Nasser Hospital, which killed six journalists and more than a dozen others, by claiming a "Hamas" camera was set up there.
The location they attacked is where Reuters and the AP livestream.

Statement from Executive Editor Matt Murray:

“For three decades, Ellen Nakashima has been one of the most careful, fair-minded, and highly regarded reporters covering national security. Reaching out to potential sources rather than relying solely on official government press statements regarding matters of public interest is neither nefarious nor is it harassment. It is basic journalism. DNI Gabbard’s unfounded personal attack reflects a fundamental misunderstanding about the role of journalists to report on government officials and hold power to account, without fear or favor and regardless of party. The Post remains committed to that vital and constitutionally protected work.”

"The artists worked at all hours to turn a once-blighted street corner into something beautiful. People on crowded buses stared in awe as they painted. Residents gathered to watch and eat barbecue as a live band blasted go-go music."

After seeing video of a 97 yo woman freezing to death while banging on the locked doors of her upscale assisted living home, I needed to understand why no one came to help. What @PostRowland and I found is troubling: A $34B industry rampant with neglect

The woman is Mary Jo Staub. She paid over $7k/month for a Colorado facility advertising "24/7 on-site care." In our story you can watch a video about her death by @joysharonyi but I warn you: You cannot unsee her haunting look of despair. To me, it says: "How could this happen?"

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Exclusive: Over the last five years, more than 2,000 people have wandered away from assisted-living and dementia-care units or been left unattended outside, according to an exhaustive search by The Washington Post.

Nearly 100 people died — though the exact number is unknowable because no one is counting. https://t.co/0YnSWXiU9J

[Washington Post Guild @PostGuild]

Our 24-hour strike has begun.

For the first time in 50 years, @washingtonpost workers are walking off the job because our company is refusing to bargain in good faith and breaking the law.

The Post was finally able to reach its photographer in Gaza, Loay Ayyoub, who described last night in a brief message

A few months ago, I read a study that showed schizophrenia can be the most deadly preexisting condition during a heat wave.

I was puzzled: Why would a mental illness make you more vulnerable to heat?

That question led me to a young man named Stephan Goodwin. This is his story🧵

One of the very first things I drew for the comic was based off this image of Singwa, a 6-year-old boy from the Suyoc group.

The series of panels where we turn the gaze of the historical photographs onto the spectators began with him.

Last piece of content this week: The wonderful @joysharonyi made a doc on our reporting process, and featured Janna Añonuevo Langholz, the Filipino American artists and activist whose work sparked the investigation.
