@criminographer Of course it takes your breath away because it’s horrific and tragic and devastating and unfair you lost your children. All my love xxx

When I was diagnosed with HIV, aged 30, I was told I could expect to live for another 20 years.
Today I turn 57.
HIV treatment works. Tell everyone.

Am disappointed that our former @Nef colleague @faizashaheen has been de-selected. She was & remains one of Britain's leading experts on how to tackle inequality. This blog from 10 years ago is a great example of her strategic thinking & deep commitment https://t.co/HbV2HDGCs1

"In 214 days, Israel has killed 142 journalists in Gaza, approximately one every 36 hours. The staggering death toll makes the war the deadliest conflict for journalists in modern history." #NotATarget https://t.co/86p4MCZXdJ

[Lina Abu Akleh @LinaAbuAkleh]

It’s been 2 years since my aunt #ShireenAbuAkleh was killed by an Israeli soldier and life has not been the same since. No one has been held accountable & the U.S. has failed our family in holding the killer responsible.
#JusticeforShireen.

Relentlessly, @UNICEF has called for a ceasefire.
However, right now our worst fear - Gazans’ nightmare - is a reality. But it is a reality that those holding power have the ability to prevent. We must all keep raising whatever voice we have. For the children of #Rafah

Breaking: Early this morning, Israeli army warplanes killed journalist Mohammed Yaghi along with his wife and children, bringing the total number of journalists killed by the Israeli army in Gaza to 130 journalists.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Imagine as a parent having to fight to get food for your child who is dying of hunger: total collapse of civil order. That’s the situation that Israel has created in Gaza. Shame on all of us for allowing this betrayal of humanity.

What we witnessed in the primary care centres in Rafah, Gaza was the tip of the iceberg of the multiple overlapping crises of food, water, and housing insecurity. It is my opinion that these preventable crises are the material manifestations of a genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

[Jess Phillips @jessphillips]

To say I'm ashamed of my workplace today would be an understatement.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The images from Rafah are unbearable.

What is there left to say? Do our political leaders not see what we see? Is there really no limit to what Palestinians must endure?

Enough! Stop equivocating. Stop stalling. Stop hiding — and call for an immediate ceasefire, now.

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

"There is absolutely no safe place in Rafah anymore... They are asked to move - the question is, where to move?"

@UNLazzarini @UNGeneva: More than 100,000 people in📍#Gaza have been killed, injured or are missing.

People are anxious & fear a large scale military operation.

[MSF International @MSF]

Yesterday in Rafah, #Gaza, one of our doctors recounted via voice message the harrowing experience her family lived through as airstrikes and bombs dropped around them at 5am. Today, she sent us the below series of text messages describing the situation.

@GhassanAbuSitt1 Thank you

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

"@UNRWA is currently hosting 1/2 a million people in our facilities - including the school that was hit [yesterday] during Israeli airstrikes & bombardments"

No place is safe in📍#Gaza: At least 6 people were killed when a @UN school was hit yesterday.

Been looking ⁦@BBCNews⁩ and I can’t find anything about the horse that was killed in the race ? You know just for ‘entertainment’ . . . or is a ‘late start’ more important than some balanced coverage ? ⁦@AnimalRising⁩ Please RT https://t.co/N3s1lMEB91

Baroness Casey’s review into Met is shocking but it is not new- that those investigated for serious crimes still active officers reflects urgent need to change disciplinary processes. That Home Secretary avoided question of what she could do reflects the need to change Home Sec.
