I just returned from #Gaza for Medical Aid for Palestinians.
The scale of the suffering and humanitarian catastrophe inflicted by Israel is vast and horrific.
What is being done to the Palestinians of Gaza is a disaster for humanity.
History will judge all who are complicit.
#CeasefireNow

Thank you The National Lottery Community Fund 🙌🏼

Had an amazing evening Curve last night hearing all about their work with young people - over 18,000 a year. Loved hearing from the cast of Gargantua about the different drama had made to their confidence, mental health and outlook on life. #TheatreForEveryChild

I've written a lot of funding applications but have never been asked 'In what ways do you prioritise the joy and care of young people?' until today. Thank you Esmée Fairbairn

Every hour I struggle to compute that there are fellow humans who can watch babies being burnt alive, fathers carrying small limbs in plastic bags, toddlers with legs in shreds, men with no torsos left, and actively choose not to stop it. We all failed Palestinians.

If Wael al-Dahdouh was Ukrainian, he would be invited to the White House. He would be on billboards and championed a hero across the western world. Some of his family would be rescued.

But he's Palestinian, so the world keeps silent about his plight and that of Gaza journalists.

How is he carrying on? I have no idea

5% of Gaza's population is now dead, wounded or missing.

A holocaust is happening right before our eyes and the world is silent.

CEASEFIRE NOW

This year rather than spending your money in the post Christmas sales, buying crap you don’t really need, why not donate what you can to Medical Aid for Palestinians or Doctors w/o Borders who do incredible and vital work in Gaza and around the world, delivering aid to those affected by war.

Bethlehem cancels Christmas this year.

A midnight mass in the Palestinian city’s Church of the Nativity will only be held to mourn the loss of the lives in Gaza.

If you are struggling financially this Christmas, come in and use our pay it forward tags to buy some presents for the kids and yourself. No questions asked. And if you need a cuppa too, we'll make you one.

The IDF killed his wife, daughter, son and grandson.

Yesterday they injured him & killed his colleague Samer Abu Daqqa.

And وائل الدحدوح Wael Al dahdouh continues to report.

Solidarity with him & every journalist in Gaza. Without them, many of the horrors on the ground would remain invisible.

Yesterday we heard news about 2 Artistic Directors. One was met with loud celebration. The other was met with SILENCE.

I BEG our UK theatre community, to speak up loud & clear about #AhmedTobasi , an artist I know, an artist who has made work here in the UK, an artist LIKE YOU.

'While the rest of the world seems to be making all the wrong decisions, the National Theatre has made a perfect one.' - Absolutely this.

So very proud of Indhu Rubasingham and I cannot wait to see what lies ahead!

Thanks to Curve who once again put on a special performance of their Christmas family show for our families.

On Sat 300 clients were invited to watch The Owl Who Came for Christmas, with refreshments/a Xmas gift also provided. Thanks to the team for a special afternoon

Imagine this is happening in your neighbourhood to your neighbours. We are being wiped out one family at a time. Stop the genocide

Another intense evening of attacks here in Khan Younis, in #Gaza

In humanity, we lost hope. #Gaza

the media has dehumanised Palestinians so much to the point that people think we are incompatible with anything separate from politics. Palestinians are also writers, actors, filmmakers, models, poets, painters, artists, and more. don’t let them erase us. we exist. we are here.
