In my area of research, femicide, there was a common theme threatening the safety of girls and women in Epping and nearby areas. It wasn't "illegal migrants", whatever that's supposed to mean, or immigrants of any description. I'll go through murders of women and girls. /1

I started school in Newcastle in Year 5 without knowing a word of English. I was nine years old and had arrived as a refugee from Bosnia just a couple of months earlier. I was one of those strangers our politicians often speak about.

Irony is dead. Starmer, while tweeting about Charlie Kirk, says “We must all be free to debate openly and freely without fear - there can be no justification for political violence” whilst hosting the President of Israel, a country that assinates, bans & arrests its opponents.

Today, I witnessed with my own eyes women, children, and the elderly walking over 18 kilometers from northern Gaza to the south-on foot-under the scorching sun and surrounded by overwhelming fear. Their faces were pale, their bodies exhausted, and their steps heavy, as if

A child cries while carrying his younger sister on his shoulders, walking along the long displacement route from northern Gaza to the south... a scene that captures the suffering of innocent children under the horrors of war.

BBC News hearing from an unbelievably strong and professional woman surgeon saying she successfully performed a Caesarean on a mother beheaded in an Israeli bombing. Nothing will ever excuse this evil.

One meter separates my tent from hers. The tent next to mine belongs to an elderly woman who has been crying for three days, day and night. Her son was martyred in Gaza City, and she’s here, displaced in the south, unable to even bid him farewell. Her voice… oh God, what her

This was Palestinian journalist Saleh Al-Jaafarawi's Last message before he was killed today. He shared this video yesterday, a heartfelt message of thanks to everyone who supported, stood by, and protested for Gaza and the Palestinian cause. Rewatching it broke my heart

Civil Defense crews in Gaza have recovered more than 80 bodies from a mass grave, reburying them at Shaban Cemetery. They were killed in an Israeli massacre in November 2023, at the beginning of the “war” on Gaza.
