This story is hauntingly sad. And completely f*cking outrageous.

Leading Palestinian doctor Adnan Al-Bursh murdered in Israeli prison after 4 months in custody. God knows what he went through.

How is the UK still supporting and arming Israel?

Noooooooooo.

Gaza has recorded the highest number of journalists killed in a conflict. Others have been injured like our colleague, photo journalist Abdallah who lost his 2 legs in a bombardment.

Without, the courage & the determination of Palestinian journalists we wouldn’t know &…

May he rest in eternal peace 🙏🏾

Arpege showing some big rain totals in the south during the next couple of days. Flooding could become an issue given the still very wet ground.

a lovely afternoon break to attend the citizenship ceremony of the first refugee we hosted 6.5 years ago.

From being homeless after standard rapid refugee status eviction w barely any English to now having a good job as a licenced building site lift operator. #RefugeesAtHome 1/3

Advice needed! Does anyone know anything about wheelchair cars please (WAVs) and could advise on whether the wheelchair user in a Peugeot Partner has a relatively comfortable ride? And is the newer Peugeot Rifter more/less comfortable for the wheelchair user? Thanks in advance!

Headlines about the 'first failed asylum seeker' going to Rwanda are misleading. The government's nasty Rwanda scheme involves active asylum seekers, i.e. their claims have not yet been processed. They will be unable to return, even if successful.

Kinda ironic that the US is breaking up the #Colombia
pro-Palestinian protest because it doesn't like illegal occupations... 🤔

#LIVE United Nations Geneva: 'Since the beginning of the war, we have 182 staff members who have been killed, more than 160 premises damaged or totally destroyed.

Most of these premises were sheltering displaced people - more than 400 people have been killed in these premises' Philippe Lazzarini

'My wife's gone to Africa, or was it the West Indies?'

'Rwanda? Jamaica?'

'No, she went of her own free will.'

(Sorry!).

The policy (for current not failed asylum seekers) is disgusting, as is Sunak's cunning stunt to pay someone to go.

I am deeply alarmed by reports of mass graves in Gaza.
 
Independent investigators must be allowed immediate access.
 
The families of the dead have a right to know what happened.

The world has a right to accountability for any violations of int’l law that may have taken place.

A military assault on Rafah would be an unbearable escalation, killing thousands more civilians & forcing hundreds of thousands to flee.
 
It would have a devastating impact on Palestinians in Gaza, with serious repercussions on the occupied West Bank & across the wider region.

I have just received reports on the situation in Odesa following a Russian missile strike and in Kharkiv following a Russian guided aerial bomb strike.

Unfortunately, a number of people have been killed in Odesa. My condolences to their close ones. Many people have been injured,…

Abdallah is our UNRWA colleague & photojournalist who miraculously survived bombardment in northern #Gaza but got severely injured + lost both legs. While he was in Al-Shifa Hospital, he witnessed the horrors of a 2-weeks long siege by the Israeli Forces, before being moved with…
