Under international humanitarian law, war crimes by one side do not justify war crimes by the other. The duty to spare civilians as much as possible the hazards of war is absolute, not contingent on the behavior of opponents. I explain in the @Guardian: https://t.co/lMYT58IdYL

Amnesty's Crisis Evidence Lab has verified that Israeli military units striking Gaza are equipped with white phosphorus artillery rounds. We are investigating what appears to be the use of white phosphorus in Gaza, including in a strike near a hotel on the beach in Gaza City.

Full statement from UN spox on Israel directing the evacuation of northern Gaza within 24 hours. UN says it would impact 1.1 million, impossible without "devastating humanitarian consequences" and "strongly appeals for any such order, if confirmed, to be rescinded."

It's time to do this as sensibly as possible, without aggravating the situation even more than it already has.

🔴BREAKING:

Israel has given Al Awda Hospital just two hours to evacuate. Our staff are still treating patients.

We unequivocally condemn this action, the continued indiscriminate bloodshed and attacks on health care in Gaza.

We are trying to protect our staff and patients.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

Israel ordering 1.1 million people to flee northern Gaza does NOT then justify indiscriminate attacks on anyone who remains. Many civilians cannot or will not flee their homes. Israel STILL has a duty not to target or indiscriminately fire upon them. https://t.co/4ktceUj6Hj

It’s been a year since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Since then, 14 states have banned most abortions, leaving millions of women and girls with nowhere to turn for the care they need.  

And yet, there are reasons to hope. 

After Roe v. Wade was overturned, voters in Michigan, California, and Vermont helped enshrine abortion rights in their state constitutions. And governors in states like Nevada, Hawaii, and Pennsylvania have signed executive orders to protect abortion access.

There are days when our alerts highlight issues that make me really angry.

Like the use of stolen identities of older people.

Just look at these two examples from yesterday.

BBC India offices searched by income tax officials

The searches in New Delhi and Mumbai come weeks after the broadcaster aired a documentary in the UK critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The BBC said it was "fully co-operating" with authorities.
