The UN estimates that two mothers are killed every hour in Gaza.

Thinking today especially of the mothers and children in the Middle East who are no longer able to celebrate Mother’s Day with their loved ones due to the senseless bombing and killing.

Ceasefire now.

Today in @thenation we have a piece by Lujayn, a 14-year-old girl in Gaza, that has floored me every time I've read it. It's about what happened when an Israeli bulldozer came to destroy the house she was staying in, and you must, must, must read it. https://t.co/08voGKceNl

Our hearts grieve with @WCKitchen staff and families of the seven aid workers killed in a strike by Israeli forces on April 1st, and we extend our deepest condolences.

We are outraged by this deadly attack on humanitarian workers trying to provide food to people in dire need.

WCK described this as a "targeted attack" - noting that “the WCK team was traveling in a deconflicted zone in two armored cars branded with the WCK logo" and that Israeli forces were notified about these movements. This shows once again that deconfliction mechanisms are unreliable.

This is not an isolated incident. Israel has repeatedly attacked humanitarian workers and is disregarding the protection of medical and humanitarian missions, further obstructing aid efforts.

This attack has caused WCK to pause its lifesaving activities in Gaza.

WCK is one of the few aid agencies that distributes desperately needed food assistance in Gaza, including in the hospitals where MSF works.

Humanitarian workers and their operations must always be protected. We reiterate our call for an immediate and sustained ceasefire to prevent more death and destruction in Gaza and allow for the safe distribution of essential aid.

We're horrified that Al-Shifa Hospital is in ruins after a 14-day long operation by Israeli forces in and around the facility.

Gaza’s largest hospital is now out of service.

Given the extent of the destruction, people in the north are left with even fewer healthcare options.

At 8:10am local time today, MSF was able to reach a member of our team in Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza after losing contact during relentless attacks by Israeli forces over the past few days.

Here is what our colleague told us while still inside the hospital:

#GAZA At the time of writing, our staff are witnessing people being shot at as they attempt to flee the Al-Shifa hospital.

There is an acronym specific to Gaza, coined in the last three weeks. WCNSF: Wounded Child No Surviving Family. A pediatrician with Doctors Without Borders: "The worst humanitarian catastrophe I've experienced." https://t.co/RmXWEUpa2N

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Children account for 2 out of every 5 civilian deaths in Gaza, surpassing the total number killed across all the world’s conflict zones in any year since 2019, said Save the Children. Families are mourning what feels like the loss of an entire generation. https://t.co/Fh8ofosViS

It’s with the greatest pleasure and pride that I reveal the cover of COLTON GENTRY’S THIRD ACT! My brilliant designer, Lila Selle, masterfully captured the tone and feel of the book in a cover that embodies the Nashville aesthetic.
