Dr. Fadel Ashour from Gaza: “Hamas’s surrender is not the surrender of the Palestinian people—they are not the Palestinian people. Disarming them is not disarming the Palestinian people, for their weapons are not ours, but rather the weapons of bandits: weapons of chaos,

The U.N.’s Gaza aid channel is plagued by near-ubiquitous looting of food aid. But UNICEF has successfully delivered 380 tons of food in the last two weeks, while WFP and WCK have delivered none. The apparent key to UNICEF’s success? Hiring security. 🧵

גוגל דאגה שלא יהיה לנו משעמם והשיקה את יכולות העריכה המתקדמות שלה בגימיני. בגדול אתם יכולים לעשות כמעט כל שינוי בתמונה בפרומט בלבד. היה הרבה הייפ על המודל הזה ועל האיכות שלו אז ממליץ לבדוק.

Incredible that more than 500,000 people returned to Khartoum in July alone. The same could never be said of RSF-controlled areas and that's all I need to know about what their future in Sudan is. english.aawsat.com/arab-world/517…

Does anyone ever stop to ask why the RSF choses to attack IDP camps? Gone are the days when small numbers of AU or UN monitors could be stationed in these camps to ward off these attacks. Now its not even a topic of discussion in Addis or NY. sudantribune.com/article304349/

BREAKING: For the first time, Ukraine acknowledges that the Russian Army has entered the Dnipropetrovsk region. They have entered two villages in the eastern-most part of the region. Battles are now raging in the two villages.

Fascinating review of aid delivery approaches in an active conflict area and their outcomes. In those cases security seems to increase efficacy.

The Islamic State claims responsibility for detonating an IED on a patrol of Iraqi soldiers near the Rawa desert region yesterday, which they claim resulted in damage to a vehicle. Seems like they are trying to signal they aren't dead with 4 claims now in recent weeks.
