In Gaza there is no time to grieve, only to survive.
The human suffering we have seen unfold is devastating.
We call on the sides to respect their obligations under international humanitarian law and protect civilians from harm.
We are very concerned to hear that an ICRC humanitarian convoy in Gaza City came under fire while bringing lifesaving assistance to those in dire need.
We repeat: Humanitarian teams must be protected and respected. They are #NotATarget.
Last night we sent a message to @RishiSunak - he must support calls for a #CeasefireNOW.
A ceasefire is the only way to protect children and get enough aid into Gaza.
Time is costing lives. There must be a #CeasefireNOW.

📍#Gaza has over 2 million people, half of them children.
Gazans are vibrant, educated people who aspire to have normal lives, families, children, education, and dreams of a better future.
An entire population is being de-humanized.

#informedchoice#2020notallbad if @DOckendenLtd's review is a catalyst for real change.
"The ideology of “normal childbirth” and a target-driven approach to lowering C-section rates has no place in modern maternity care and must be tackled once and for all."
Good points, to add another: the common failings resulting in stillbirth, HIE & baby deaths are well known. Good practice/policies mitigate against them yet mothers & babies are still put at risk by inadequate doctors & midwives. Maternity care in the UK is just not good enough.
There are so many horrific things about the Shrewsbury and Telford maternity scandal. But here’s what I think is the very worst https://t.co/S0bcqgpcaW
Gutted that I can’t join the #PeoplesVoteMarch today but I’m there in spirit with every wonderful person marching to #StopBrexit, secure a #PeoplesVote and safeguard our futures
Fab last session at 8.5 months with my awesome PT Lucie https://t.co/09RfEqAw9t. She’s kept me fit and sane, and helped me recover from whooping cough-what a star. Time now for sofa and an #Outlander binge tho! 😁
Feels surreal to be sitting on the terrace in shorts and tshirt...in February. Still, I’ll take it! Should cool down just in time to settle in for #WalesvEngland later this pm :)
Today will be the most important protest march for decades. It could be our last chance to be heard. We're being forced into a catastrophic future by a group of charlatans who've lied and cheated to get their way.
Join or follow #PeoplesVoteMarch and help take back your future!
Half of Trump voters think that "women who complain about sexual harassment cause more problems than they solve"!? More than one year ago. A lot of this is obviously due to Kavanaugh, but wow.

Emily Thornberry is absolutely right on #Marr when she says the government's framing of no deal or a bad deal is a "false choice".
Britain still has every right to reject Brexit altogether through a #PeoplesVote with the right to remain in the EU.
I want to feel hopeful when reading this, but somehow can’t muster much confidence that it will incentivise the govt to do the right thing and agree a #PeoplesVote
