It was such a pleasure to speak at the Council of Europe’s North-South Centre of the Council of Europe's first ever podcast series titled ‘Break Your Bubble.’ In this episode, I shared my lived experiences as well as the work that VYRE has been doing in protecting and empowering migrants and refugees! 1/2

Absolutely heartbreaking news. Veteran Al Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh has passed away after being in shot in the head by Israeli forces while reporting on an Israeli army raid on a refugee camp in Jenin, occupied West Bank. She was wearing a press vest at the time.

Everyone switch on to Al Jazeera right now. This is one of the most horrifying things I’ve seen. IOF is attacking mourners carrying Shireen’s body from the hospital right now. They’re using stun grenades and tear gas and charging at them with horses and batons.
