🚨NEW from Al-Shabaka! This policy memo, by Safa Joudeh argues that the privatization of aid and security in Gaza violates humanitarian norms by turning aid into a tool of control, ethnic cleansing, and colonization ow.ly/iHMr50W6SNx


The situation in Gaza "is deteriorating" and "is worse than ever." Gaza has been "cut off from the outside world, unable to speak, unable to be heard." These words, from Medical Aid for Palestinians, should chill you to your bone.





A British surgeon working in Gaza says he is concerned over the pattern of injuries he's seen in those brought to hospital from aid distribution centres. Dr Nick Maynard tells Anna Foster about the injuries he is treating. #R4Today



“A seven-month-old baby lies in our paediatric ICU, so tiny & malnourished that I initially mistook her for a newborn. She is literally wasting away before our eyes & despite our best efforts, we are powerless to save her.” Nick Maynard in The Guardian: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…




#Gaza has been held underwater for 22 months, allowed to gasp for air only when Israeli authorities face pressure from those with more leverage than international law itself. Starvation isn’t a logistical failure. It’s a political choice. My opinion piece: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
