Great excl from @itsmairab
A teenage girl who was awarded a scholarship at a British boarding school is trapped in Gaza.
A gap in Home Office evacuation rules means that high-school students, like Dania Alfaranji, have slipped through the cracks.

Gaza vet killed by Israeli troops while returning home after ceasefire declared

Dr Mu’ath Abu Rukbeh, who was described by @SulalaaSociety as a “kind” and “exceptional” doctor, was among many Palestinians shot dead for unknowingly crossing a yellow zone.

Agonizing interviews with two Gaza medics, Sara and Eli.

They spoke of Palestinian kids in hospitals alone, scared, wounded by Israeli bombs.

“I patted his back as if to put a baby to sleep. I reminded myself, you're not putting him to sleep. He's dead."

Mariam Abu Daqqa, a journalist with our partner publication killed by Israel today, left a note for her young son in case the worst happened. Pray don't weep, she wrote. “Make me proud. You are my love, my heart, my strength, my soul... who lifts my head high with pride.”

[Dan Keane @DanPKeane]

Great story from @alxcroft on how Israel's destruction of Gaza's water plants is fuelling the spread of deadly disease - including one that has left children paralysed.

This is Gaza from the sky: ashen destruction and a maze of makeshift tents stretching to the horizon. I spent two days filming & photographing Gaza from a Jordanian plane. 22 months of Israel’s bombardment, blockade & war with Hamas have left a blasted hellscape. Unimaginable.

Some concerning ONS data this week revealed how the explosion of shoplifting in London since the pandemic is showing no sign of slowing down. It was up 54% in 2024, year-on-year. Rest of England only saw a 15% increase.

Adolescence a depressing case study for how discourse ruins everything
1. Show raises important societal issues and triggers national conversation on what to do.
2. People get carried away and watching show becomes performative purity test
3. Rejecting the show becomes equally performative badge of honour for others

Meanwhile key issues and themes of the show get lost or polarised in the debate about watching/showing it.
