A UN enquiry has concluded in a harrowing report released today that Israel is committing #genocide in #Gaza by deliberately targeting children, adding to overwhelming evidence of systematic attacks on journalists and medical staff. The findings are compelling — a British doctor, Nizam Mamode, recently returned from Gaza corroborates the conclusion, stressing the importance of medical eyewitnesses given Israel’s killing of Palestinian journalists and banning of foreign press. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0jy…

For example, we spoke to this group of Ukrainian women. They were all on a holiday together to Spain when war broke out. Each of them has kids in Lviv and Kyiv and beyond. All of them have been trying desperately to get back to 🇺🇦since war broke out. It’s taken them all week.

Replying to @lewis_goodall
You’d think this would be a queue for a train out of 🇺🇦. It’s not. It’s for the next train to Lviv. Why? some journalists. But also Ukrainian men living abroad (or who were abroad) when the invasion began going to fight. And Mums who weren’t in the country going to get their kids
