SAG LA Vice President Michelle Hurd explains that “you know those actors when you go ‘oh there’s that guy from that show’, you don’t necessarily know their names… those actors are working class actors who are literally working paycheck to paycheck.”

I repeat my call for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Middle East, the unconditional release of all hostages, and the delivery of life-saving supplies at the scale needed. Everyone must assume their responsibilities. This is a moment of truth. History will judge us all.

“It’s the worst I’ve ever seen. People are trapped. People have nowhere to go.” Léo Cans, head of Médecins Sans Frontières’ mission for Palestine, says that there is no way to evacuate hospitals in northern Gaza and he cannot tell his staff to abandon their patients.

An average of 160 children are killed in #Gaza every single day, warns Christian Lindmeier of @who. "Nothing justifies the horror being endured by the civilians in Gaza."

"The people that stayed behind are heroes." A powerful testimony from MSF Nurse Activity Manager Emily (Cali) Callahan, who exited Gaza last Wed. She spoke w/ Anderson Cooper on CNN yesterday about the strength of the Palestinian staff still in Gaza.

Everyone’s blood is boiling. We all know someone who was murdered, kidnapped, who is still missing. Many are talking about revenge, about erasing Gaza, referring to its residents as “2.5M terrorists,” discussing forcible transfer. But what's actually happening on the ground?🧵

🔴GAZA UPDATE In the past 24 hrs, hospitals have been under relentless bombardment. Al-Shifa hospital has been hit multiple times. Our teams & patients are still inside. Again, we urgently call to STOP ATTACKS on hospitals & for an immediate CEASEFIRE⤵️msf.org/gaza-patients-…

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

"We are nearly sure that we are alone now. No one hears us... The problem is to be sure that we can evacuate the neonatal patients because we have about 37 to 40 premature babies." Dr Mohammed Obeid, surgeon at Al-Shifa hospital, shares his testimony from today⤵️

Please raise awareness about what’s happening in the #Congo and #Sudan. The world needs to be paying attention and calling on international agencies, governments, and media to help end militarism, poverty, and other forms of violence in several #African nations.

This is an ongoing thread of fundraisers for Palestinians in Gaza. Feel free to add to it. No one should have to crowdfund to escape a genocide. Free Palestine
