A year on, there is still no accountability following the October 13, 2023, targeted Israeli attack that killed Issam Abdallah and injured six journalists in Southern Lebanon.

The loss of local journalists and almost total ban on media from outside Gaza leaves a vacuum for propaganda, mis- and disinformation. Facts are easily evaded, and truth withers.

Prime Minister Netanyahu: grant international media access to #Gaza.

This was intentional. You don't accidentally kill massive amounts of children and their families over and over again and get to say, "It was a mistake."

Genocidal maniac Netanyahu told us he wants to ethically cleanse Palestinians. When are you going to believe him @POTUS?

In the year since we put this story out, @jinitzail has won a Pulitzer, the families of victims have settled with the city, but are suing Texas DPS officers and searching for answers.

Seats are still empty. Hearts are still broken.

Sending my love to this beautiful community.

On the two year anniversary of the school shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX, we are thinking of the community as well as the local reporters who have continued to cover the story.

"In addition to the lawsuit, the families announced the city of Uvalde will pay $2 million to the families as part of a separate settlement that also includes stipulations meant to prevent another tragedy like the 2022 shooting."

New: Relatives of the Uvalde school shooting victims are suing Texas Department of Public Safety officers who waited 77 minutes to confront the gunman.

With tensions over pro-Palestinian protests escalating on college campuses across the United States, CPJ calls on university authorities and law enforcement agencies to allow reporters to freely cover the demonstrations.

During a round table hosted by Angola's Attorney-General's Office, @pressfreedom's @angelaquintal presented eye-opening statistics & called for the end of criminal defamation against journalists. We also urged authorities to align with African peers & abolish the practice. #PressFreedom #JournalismIsNotACrime

More than 50 years ago, Amilcar Cabral entrusted a group of young Bissau-Guineans to film the West African country’s independence war. But before they could finish their film, Cabral was assassinated. Now’s

[WHO in occupied Palestinian territory @WHOoPt]

Since 7 October, WHO has documented 410 attacks on health care in the #Gaza Strip.

Attacks have resulted in 685 fatalities, 902 injuries, damage to 99 facilities and affected 104 ambulances.

Two-fifths (38%) of attacks were in Gaza City, a quarter (23%) in North Gaza, and over a quarter (28%) in Khan Younis.

Health care is #NotATarget.

@WHO calls for the respect of international law and active protection of civilians and health care.

Earlier this week I heard a woman trying to end a phone call by saying "you don't need to say anything else - the more I know the older I get" and I haven't stopped thinking about it

Working with BMGC and watching friends and family go through the match process opened my eyes to how absolutely insane the process of becoming a doctor is. All of my love, encouragement, and sympathy to everyone going through this process today!
