This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :
“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.
By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.
I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”
— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.

@prwhittle What’s wrong with the tree? (Or the lights for that matter?) This bewildered citizen of Oslo genuinely doesn’t understand what you would like different.
NEWS: Rwanda uses #DHIS2 in response to #Marburg virus outbreak. @RwandaHealth, with support from @WHO, @HISPRwanda, and other partners, responded rapidly and have reported the first known recoveries from severe cases on the African continent. More: https://t.co/ByhtExBJyh
Natur kunne vært en populær sak for @regjeringen. Befolkningen er klar for ansvarlig arealbruk og kunnskapsbaserte prioriteringer. @jonasgahrstore bløffer oss alle, på bekostning av ville dyr, menneskers trygghet og de neste generasjonene. Skremmende.

Nyhet! EU har nettopp vedtatt den nye loven om naturrestaurering, som har vært underveis i årevis.
Nå er det bare for @BjellandEriksen & co i @kldep å sørge for at den kommende #Naturmeldingen blir minst like bra!

“The quest for artificial general intelligence and the limits of science” with John Lennox in two weeks in Oslo. I will have the honor to interview him. https://t.co/zh2uvrGrGj
SKANDALE: Regjeringen fortsetter råkjøret mot norsk natur, avviser alle klager og stadfester nedskyting av tre stabile familiegrupper inne I ULVESONA, kun fordi de er ulv. Det betyr at 49 av Norges 66 ulver kan bli skutt. Det er skandaløst uansvarlig, @BjellandEriksen
There's lots of announcements and news coming out of #COP28. I'm here to rank them for you from a climate scientist's perspective, using 🌴 for the wins and 🤦♀️ for the facepalms.
Did I miss something? Let me know and I'll add it to this list! #ClimateAction#COP28FromHome 🧵
Content that #Norway stood up against the US, all other Nordic countries & many European, and voted for last night's UN resolution urging a humanitarian ceasefire in #Gaza.
But this will make it much harder for the West to get support for condemning Russia in #Ukraine.

Dette er kult! Har du lurt på hvordan du kan finne ut om det er tariffavtale der kjøper fra? Nå har @Fellesforbundet laget enkel oversikt. Her kan du sjekke om verksteder, bilpleie, byggefirma, pub og restauranter og hoteller har tariffavtale. Værsågod: https://t.co/V0wUJxN5pN
Takker for meg i DN:
Siste kronikk er om ukulturen med å legge bestillte utredninger i skuffen.
Hadde regjeringen heller lyttet, hadde vi ikke hatt fjellene fulle av hytter, skogeiere som gir opp å få kompensasjon for vern, eller flyttestrøm til Sveits:

My NRC colleague in Gaza, Yousef, was able to exit the besieged enclave for the first time in his life last December when he visited our Oslo office. Now his eyewitness reports tell us how it is to live through the worst bombardment ever of densely populated Gaza:
