What's happening in Gaza is totally unacceptable.

A school turned shelter for around 12,000 people was hit by Israeli airstrikes again today.

Six of our @UNRWA colleagues are among those killed.

These dramatic violations of international humanitarian law need to stop now.

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

I am appalled that Israel keeps targeting schools in Gaza — where thousands of displaced people are sheltering — with indiscriminate strikes. My heart goes out to the loved ones of all victims, including the UN aid workers who were tragically killed.

Schools and humanitarian workers must never be targets. There must be accountability for violations of international law, and there must be a ceasefire now.

Ég óttast þessa umræðu svo svakalega. Það næsta sem gerist eru fullyrðingar um að konur sem fæði ekki börn séu ekki konur. Nei bíddu …

Hún er fædd kona sko. Hefur tapað á móti öðrum konum í hnefaleikum. Líklega steruð, en kona samt.

This person who opts to live a ‘Victorian life’ makes her own butter, which she rolls in flowers and makes pretty hand decorated cakes. In the 19th century, this was in no way ‘slow living’, as such elaborate tasks were usually done by domestic servants who worked 15 hour days.

Palestinian libraries need your support! Will you pitch in to help ensure the continuation of the inspiring Yafa Cultural Center in Balata Refugee Camp in Nablus, and the Lajee Center in Aida Refugee Camp in Bethlehem?

Ég á ekki fleiri orð. Þetta er eins hræðilegt og það getur orðið. Margir mánuðir af hreinum hryllingi og enginn endir í sjáanlegur. Fólk á Gaza er stráfellt og allt þeirra jafnað við jörðina – og það í skjóli ríkisstjórnar Íslands.

Meet Gaza’s 11-year-old war reporter Sumayya Wushah, who says she was inspired by Shireen Abu Akleh to tell Palestine’s stories.

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

“I call for an end to the war and I demand that the world provide humanitarian support to the children of the Gaza Strip.”

Sumayya reminds me of myself at 11 years old, sharing my experience of living under Taliban’s terrorism for the world to know.

Today, Sumayya is telling her story as an 11 year old girl from Gaza.

I ask leaders to listen to her call.

In this report, Librarians and Archivists with Palestine offers a partial list of archives, libraries, and museums in Gaza that have been destroyed, damaged, or looted by Israeli armed forces since October 7, 2023. Visit the link in bio to read the full report.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

We appeal to donors not to suspend their funding to @UNRWA at this critical moment. Cutting off funding will only hurt the people of #Gaza who desperately need support.

We need to distinguish between what individuals may have done, and what UNRWA stands for. The organisation's tens of thousands of employees in Gaza, the West Bank and the region are playing a crucial role in distributing aid, saving lives and safeguarding basic needs and rights
