It’s with the greatest pleasure and pride that I reveal the cover of COLTON GENTRY’S THIRD ACT! My brilliant designer, Lila Selle, masterfully captured the tone and feel of the book in a cover that embodies the Nashville aesthetic.

Children account for 2 out of every 5 civilian deaths in Gaza, surpassing the total number killed across all the world’s conflict zones in any year since 2019, said Save the Children. Families are mourning what feels like the loss of an entire generation. wapo.st/3QHrtXK

There is an acronym specific to Gaza, coined in the last three weeks. WCNSF: Wounded Child No Surviving Family. A pediatrician with Doctors Without Borders: "The worst humanitarian catastrophe I've experienced." x.com/timand2037/sta…

#GAZA At the time of writing, our staff are witnessing people being shot at as they attempt to flee the Al-Shifa hospital.

At 8:10am local time today, MSF was able to reach a member of our team in Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza after losing contact during relentless attacks by Israeli forces over the past few days. Here is what our colleague told us while still inside the hospital:

BREAKING: Health officials say more than 12,300 Palestinian minors have been killed in Israel's war on Hamas in Gaza apnews.com/article/israel…

BREAKING: Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 70 people were killed and 280 were wounded in a strike on a crowd of Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid. apnews.com/article/israel…

We're horrified that Al-Shifa Hospital is in ruins after a 14-day long operation by Israeli forces in and around the facility. Gaza’s largest hospital is now out of service. Given the extent of the destruction, people in the north are left with even fewer healthcare options.

Our hearts grieve with World Central Kitchen staff and families of the seven aid workers killed in a strike by Israeli forces on April 1st, and we extend our deepest condolences. We are outraged by this deadly attack on humanitarian workers trying to provide food to people in dire need.

Today in The Nation we have a piece by Lujayn, a 14-year-old girl in Gaza, that has floored me every time I've read it. It's about what happened when an Israeli bulldozer came to destroy the house she was staying in, and you must, must, must read it. thenation.com/article/world/…

what starts here changes the world

"She rather be arrested for fighting for Palestine, I’d be the happiest daddy” Lazaro, a father of student USC, expresses his support for his daughter activism in protesting against Israel’s genocide in Los Angeles.🇵🇸

they bombed a neighborhood while she was still talking

The UN estimates that two mothers are killed every hour in Gaza. Thinking today especially of the mothers and children in the Middle East who are no longer able to celebrate Mother’s Day with their loved ones due to the senseless bombing and killing. Ceasefire now.
