'Killed by who now? Killed by what now?' After an Israeli airstrike killed four-day-old twins in Gaza, James O'Brien reacts to 'troubling' headlines which fail to acknowledge Israel's role in the incident.

While we have become increasingly numb to the sheer regularity of the awful atrocities in Gaza, a story and a picture hits you so hard it takes your breath away. All for the wrong reasons. Twins & mum killed by IDF as father went to register their birth. bbc.com/news/articles/…

“The entire unjust world does not care about this. That’s all I can say.” Heartbreaking testimony in the wake of the killing of newborn twins and their mother in Gaza -- leaving behind a father whose world is shattered. Correspondent Jeremy Diamond reports.

It’s a dreadful irony that for many of the 400 million people in sub-Saharan Africa who lack access to a basic water supply, there is likely to be a significant water reserve just a few metres below their feet. A great op-ed by my BGS colleague. theguardian.com/global-develop…
