"A humanitarian pause is bare minimum that needs to happen"
@JulietteTouma @arabnews:๐#GazaStrip โWeโve never, ever imagined we would host 1.4 million people in our facilities... The volume, the velocity, the levels of destruction are just unprecedentedโ

โ4 out of 5 of the hungriest people anywhere in the world are in Gaza.โ
โ @antonioguterres on @WFP warning that widespread famine looms in Gaza, where more than half a million people are facing what experts classify as catastrophic levels of hunger.

The decimation of the #Gaza health system is a tragedy.
But in the face of constant insecurity and inflows of wounded patients, we see doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers and more continue striving to save lives.
@WHO and our health partners will continue working side by side with you, delivering supplies, supporting the provision of care, and transferring the seriously wounded.
And we persist in calling for #CeasefireNow.

As well as the magically disappearing phone, there were Lord Bethell's magically disappearing meetings.
27 meetings held by Bethell with firms handed ยฃ1.14 billion in government contracts were hidden from the public for 14 months bylinetimes.com/2021/06/30/hโฆ

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to ยฃ530m invested in Moderna.
Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up.
Like if you want Mone on trial.
RT if you want them both facing the music.

PPE Medpro is the tip of the iceberg.
Here's my summary of the PPE scandal, after two and a half years of covering it for @BylineTimes.
A shocking stat: firms that were awarded COVID contracts have gone on to donate at least ยฃ615k back to the Tories ๐

Photojournalist Mustafa Harouf was threateded with live fire and was brutality beaten by Police in East Jerualem. He's been hospitalized w/ serious injuries, their severity not yet clear.
There is no individual with a greater impact on today's East Jerualem than Ben Gvir.
And so depriving millions of children of one of their main sources of connection. Completely unenforceable performative nonsense.
EXC: Rishi Sunak's government considers crackdown on young teens' social media use ๐งต
- Possible legal ban on use of social media by under-16s

Here's a running thread of all the things the current Prime Minister cannot recall whilst under oath at the Covid Inquiry.
Some more understandable than others I'd humbly suggest.

Who is Luke Johnson and why are we listening to him? Doesnโt seem to have any scientific background so why is he head to head against a scientist. More BBC โbalanceโ #r4today

Tonight, @RishiSunak and his Government chose to turn their backs on the children of #Gaza yet again. By failing to vote for a #CeasefireNOW at the UN Security Council, the UK is complicit in the horror that children will endure in the coming hours, days, and weeks.
While weโre all distracted by this #RwandaBill nonsense: Schools crumbling, child poverty, crisis in the NHS, rail strikes, filthy rivers, Covid mismanagement, the list goes on. The country falls apart and all the government is does is get us to look away #r4today

Please donโt look away: Republicans are currently waging the *most* sustained, intense, & targeted war on disenfranchising Gen Z-ers from voting in 2024 that I have *ever* seen before. This is their new Jim Crow & we all must be alarmed & start giving this the attention it needs.
Nick Robinsonโs patience with the vapid Suella Braverman wearing thin. This woman is as incoherent as she is dangerous #r4today #Electionnow

BREAKING
@UNICEF report today on child poverty in 39 countries in 2014-2021.
UK has seen HIGHEST INCREASE in children living in poverty in all countries at almost 20%.
Most countries decreased their numbers.
Tories only care for themselves.

For first time ever, @antonioguterres invokes Article 99 of UN Charter, urging Security Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
Appealing for humanitarian ceasefire, he says civilian population must be spared from further harm. un.org/en/situation-in-occupโฆ
