Are they looking for the deermatologist?

Of the 30 hottest days ever recorded, no fewer than 21 have occurred THIS MONTH. Temperatures in July 2023 could well be the highest for 120,000 years. This story is the lead on the BBC website, 7th on The Times, 69th on The Daily Mail, & hasn’t yet been mentioned by The Sun.

So the only notable talent I've unlocked in my 47 years of being on this planet is kicking my boxer shorts onto my head and I can't even show anyone 😭😭😭

Protesting 35% real terms pay cut over a decade with 6% pay rise IMPOSED on us. No wonder junior and senior colleagues are leaving the NHS in droves. #payrestoration #bma

Our thoughts go out to the innocent people killed today in hospital in Gaza . To our medical, nursing and AHP colleagues killed for going to work and doing their jobs looking after patients. RIP heroes😔 🇵🇸 .

In response to the israeli threat ‘if you don’t evacuate the hospitals, we will bomb you, Palestinian doctors sing ‘we will stay here’ Aksa Haber

I reiterate my appeal for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, together with the unconditional release of hostages & the delivery of relief at a level corresponding to the dramatic needs of the people in Gaza, where a humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in front of our eyes.

#CeasefireNOW

Stop this. Now. In the name of what is left of our humanity.

Palestinians are being killed in their thousands. Those who have survived the bombs face death by disease and starvation. It is incomprehensible that we are still debating whether more human beings should die. This cannot go on any longer. We need a permanent ceasefire, now.

On 17 December, Israeli forces took control of Al Awda hospital, after besieging it for 12 days. Males over 16 years old were taken out of the hospital, stripped, bound and interrogated – six MSF staff were among them...

But Hamas ….
