One of the happiest days of my life when dad managed to make a full recovery from a severe stroke within a week. I miss him so much that it hurts but we were so lucky to have had him around for five more years after this scare. I am eternally grateful to the universe! #BestDad

The sad, depressing truth is that almost no one, at least no one in any serious position of power in the West or the Arab world cares enough about the people of #Gaza

See you on the other side folks ... bsky.app/profile/sonyka…

The humanitarian breakthrough is that

#Israel will now allow 30 millilitres of fuel per resident of #Gaza every day

If the EU truly wants to be 'geopolitical' and 'inclusive', it must end its 'navel-gazing, inward-looking approach' stresses Sony Kapoor at our #StateOfEU .

88 UNRWA staff have been killed, the largest loss of UN lives lost in a single conflict.

36 journalists have been killed so far.
