As a kid I loved listening to the BBC World Service (on 648 kHz I think). For a 10-year-old from Chingford it was a very special window on the world. So, for World Radio Day, I play some classic @bbcworldservice signature tunes. #WorldRadioDay

"The level of danger for journalists operating in #Gaza right now is absolutely unprecedented.

This is the most dangerous conflict for journalists that CPJ has ever documented, & we've been...documenting attacks against journalists for 30 years."

Rushdi’s been displaced 4 times with his wife and children. I’ve been on this street with him in the past as he’s picked up his twin girls. Now he’s living in a tent. He’s still working. You can hear the bombardment. Gaza is a place whose people cannot flee war.

[Johny Cassidy @johnycassidy]

This is why the BBC World Service is so important.

"Not a grain of wheat, not a drop of water."

@UNRWA's @JulietteTouma says water is running out for Gaza's 2.2 million people and they're "on the verge" of closing their facilities

[United Nations @UN]

In Gaza, hundreds of thousands of people are living without food, water & essential supplies.

@WFP's emergency operations could provide a vital lifeline to 800,000+ people, but borders must be kept open & protected.
