@AllianceLGB The @AllianceLGB is an anti-trans, anti-queer, anti-DEI pressure group (aligning it with the likes of Musk, Trump and Kirk) passing itself off as an LGB rights charity. As a gay man, I believe it represents a real danger to our community - and particularly to Trans people.

[Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk]

Every single child deserves a warm, safe home.

Yet in Gaza, after two years of Israeli bombardment, siege and aid restrictions – and now as tents flood from torrential rain – children are sleeping on the bare ground with no shelter, in flimsy shorts and t-shirts that are sodden with sewage water.

Even on nights with no rain, the weather is still cold, children are bearing cold nights trying to sleep without the warm clothes they need.

Earlier this month, the ICRC delivered infection prevention supplies to Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza. Wards are full, resources are limited, and needs far exceed support—continued assistance is vital to keep lifesaving care running.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Israel continues to commit serious and systematic violations of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, constituting a clear breach of international humanitarian law.

Here's what we know ⤵️ #Infograph

[Save the Children Global Media @Save_GlobalNews]

Save the Children calls for the Government of Israel to urgently reconsider new registration rules for international non-governmental organisations that could undermine the delivery of life-saving humanitarian assistance to Gaza and the West Bank.

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

In #Gaza, tens of thousands of displaced families are sheltering in fragile tents and overcrowded sites, surrounded by destruction.

Around 79,000 people are sheltering in UNRWA emergency shelters and nearby areas, many under severe access constraints.

Humanitarian needs remain immense.

The Palestinian health ministry said on Friday that three Palestinians have died as strong winds and heavy rains batter the region, and reported a further 17deaths due to building collapses

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

UNICEF is deeply saddened by the preventable, tragic death of Ata Mai, 7, who drowned on 27 December during severe flooding in an improvised camp for internally displaced people in Sudaniyeh, northwest of Gaza City.

He is the most recent child in Gaza to die due to the extreme winter conditions and lack of safe shelters. At least five other children have lost their lives in December after being exposed to such harsh conditions.

Israel to revoke licenses of 37 aid groups working in Gaza https://t.co/dvt0D5eemB

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

Severe storms, strong winds, and rain in #Gaza have damaged and destroyed make-shift tents.

The Israeli Authorities continue to block UNRWA from directly bringing aid into the Gaza Strip – including enough shelter supplies for hundreds of thousands of people.

Tents and tarpaulins are desperately needed.

Aid must be allowed in unimpeded.

Reminder: @AllianceLGB is an anti-trans, anti-queer, anti-DEI hate group peddling the lie that all trans people are deluded, disordered or dangerous - and uses fear to try to gain supporters.
It doesn't speak for me as a gay man or any of my LGB friends #LGBAlliance #transhate

[UN News @UN_News_Centre]

Ongoing attacks in #Gaza continue to kill people of all ages in the shattered enclave despite an agreed ceasefire.

According to @UNICEF, at least 67 children have been killed since the Hamas-Israel pause of hostilities was announced.

[Medical Aid for Palestinians @MedicalAidPal]

Last night, a wave of Israeli attacks in Gaza killed at least 25 people & wounded 77 others.

Two of our colleagues sadly lost several relatives in the attacks.

❌ Israel's genocide in Gaza is not over. The ceasefire must be enforced & those responsible must be held accountable.

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

With the destruction of homes in #Gaza and limited shelter, many are forced to live in makeshift tents in playgrounds or UNRWA schools-turned-shelters.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have killed at least 25 people, in one of the worst attacks on the region since a ceasefire was reached.

Israel claims its forces were fired upon by gunmen and it targeted Hamas sites in response.

More than 300 Palestinians and three Israeli soldiers have been killed since the shaky ceasefire came into force.

A warning, this report contains distressing images.

[James Fitzpatrick @James_Fitz01]

A reminder: @AllianceLGB is an anti-trans, anti-queer, anti-DEI group, passing itself off as an LGB rights charity - "thrilled" to be collaborating with other anti-trans groups to create a hostile environment for trans people in the UK and elsewhere.

It's Dr. Hisham’s 21st day working non-stop inside the PICU & NICU at Patient’s Friends Benevolent Society Hospital.

The babies & children under his care are at risk amid Israel's invasion of Gaza City.

The UK govt must do EVERYTHING in its power to stop Israel’s atrocities.
