@ragipsoylu Wow!!

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

Israel's mass evacuation order for one million people living in northern Gaza does NOT absolve the Israeli military of the duty to protect them -- no targeting them, no indiscriminate fire in populated areas, no attacks causing disproportionate harm.

Bridge at a #Ukrainian-Romanian border crossing.

Border guards left toys for Ukrainian children so that every child passing could take a toy with them.

Protesters have blocked a border crossing between Poland and Belarus for several days, in an attempt to stop cargo trucks they say are loaded with supplies for the Russian army.

I asked @WFPChief about the consequences of this war for global food supplies. He told me: "Ukraine commodities alone feed 400m around the world. We can't afford for the supply to shut down. Ukraine's the breadbasket of the world and now we're handing out bread inside #Ukraine."

Sergej Orlov, deputy mayor of Mariupol, said that we witness is a "medieval siege" and he emphasized that the humanitarian situation is getting worse every day. For several days, the city is cut-off and there is no heating, water, gas, or proper food and medicine supply. /1

More than 100,000 people attended a peace rally and demonstration in Berlin on Sunday in support of Ukraine. Organizers, which included peace and environmental groups, unions and churches, had expected 20,000 to gather. https://t.co/FrODEswSjZ

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

Relatively little attention has been given to the extraordinary threats against Sweden and Finland by the Russian foreign ministry, warning of the consequences if they decide to join NATO. And we thought that kind of thing was over & done with in Europe.

Kabul.

[CNN @CNN]

CNN’s @FareedZakaria says the US was masking the reality that the Taliban had been gaining ground in Afghanistan for years. #FareedsTake

[Richard Engel @RichardEngel]

Walking around kabul. Hard stares. Mood changing. People not just sad, but angry, blaming the US for abandoning the country to war, chaos, and the Taliban

This morning, my MD wife worked at a major vaccine center in Dallas. Whole place was staffed, ready to vaccinate. No one - *no one* - showed up for a vaccine. Only 44% of Dallas county is vaccinated. This is bad.
