Bisan Owda from Gaza posted the following:
“These are our thoughts, messages, cries, memories and hopes.. these are what we want to tell you about the last 6 weeks of our lives..”
🚨BREAKING: Breathtaking moments captured by Al Jazeera’s correspondent as she interviewed Gaza residents, interrupted by relentless Israeli shelling on Al-Shati camp and Gaza City.
Most people know what a flash flood is, but have never heard of a flash drought
They soon will
Flash droughts can suck all the moisture from the top soil, devastating harvests in just a few weeks
Global crop yields are set to be hammered

More than 3/4 of Earth’s support systems are outside the safe zone. Ocean acidification is the latest boundary breached. The warning is stark, but failure is not inevitable. It is a choice. Read the 2025 Planetary Health Check here: https://t.co/ySl8Cag5ye
“The situation is beyond what you can imagine.”
Nada Abu Alrub, an Australian doctor who is one of the few remaining doctors at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, says they are facing “disastrous” conditions as Israeli ground forces are nearing the medical facility
🚨84 MPs have written to foreign secretary Yvette Cooper to raise concerns about the safety of British citizens participating in the Global Samud Flotilla aid mission to Gaza.
BREAKING: The Global Sumud Flotilla says it will hold an emergency press conference today after receiving credible intelligence of an imminent Israeli attack against the flotilla.
The press conference is scheduled for 15:00 CET to address the grave threats facing the civilian vessels and to call on the international community to act urgently.
"It was horrendous when I went [to Gaza] in February and met kids who had had amputations without anesthetics. It's horrendous that kids are dying of starvation, affecting their bodies, consuming their own organs. What we give them to try and avoid that is this kind of high protein peanut butter paste. And we've been told we can't bring peanut butter in because it's a luxury, because Hamas might try to steal the peanut butter." A harrowing account of the situation in Gaza from @UNReliefChief
Thank you Spain.
I implore other countries to mobilise their fleet to grant the flotilla safe sailing to Gaza, and deploy a real humanitarian convoy to break the blockade.
That's what people want. That's what humanity commands.
If not in the time of a Genocide, when??
In a passionately defiant speech at the UNGA, President Petro of Colombia has just announced a proposal for a UN protection force to stop the genocide in Palestine. The process has begun, and this process has no veto behind which to hide. All states will now have to say yes or no to protection for a people facing extermination. History will record every vote. And so will we.
We are still sailing. 37 boats are currently heading to Gaza, soon to be joined by six more from Greece.
Organisers currently believe only one boat was too badly damaged by the explosions last night to continue.
Night will come in the next few hours and, with it, the possibility of renewed attacks. We know you are watching us - thank you.
Gaza - we know this is a grain of sand compared to the suffering you experience every minute of every day. We are coming 🇵🇸❤️
After two days of threats from the Israeli foreign ministry, we suffered 11 attacks against our non violent, solidarity humanitarian mission protected by international law to create a humanitarian corridor for the Palestinian people in Gaza.
Rise up! We need your support now!
