The death rate in Gaza is at a historic high, with thousands of children killed in just a few weeks.
Demanding an end to this inexcusable violence is a question of basic humanity. Silence is complicity. You cannot be silent in an unfolding genocide.

What the fucking FUCKING hell is happening? Has the world just gone mad? How is this okay? How are people killed in their thousands while we watch in real time?

FUN FACT: Rishi Sunak spent more time FLYING to COP28 than he actually spent at the summit itself.

Israeli officials have claimed for weeks that the south of Gaza is safe. It plainly is not.
They have been focusing on an area called Mawasi in the southern coastal area. A sheltered safe area @TzipiHotovely told @TrevorPTweets
Here’s what @SkyNews teams found in the south

I cannot overstate the fear, panic & confusion that these Israeli maps are causing civilians in #Gaza, including my own staff.
People cannot run from place to place to try to escape Israel’s bombs, nor does international law expect them to.
What is being done is unconscionable.

I'm genuinely physically sickened by this tweet. 5,000 beautiful children slaughtered in 5 weeks, no mention. The Irish people are ashamed of you.
This morning in Israel I witnessed the devastation caused by the Oct 7 attack in Sderot and Kibbutz Be’eri, where Emily Hand was taken hostage, w/ Israeli FM @elicoh1
I unreservedly condemn the brutal attack by Hamas & call for the immediate & unconditional release of hostages

It is now 24 hours since Israel invaded al-Shifa hospital. No sprawling Hamas command-and-control center. No arms caches in the tunnels. No secret passageways. No nothing except: DEAD BABIES IN INCUBATORS WITHOUT FUEL.

CEASEFIRE NOW!
CEASEFIRE NOW!
CEASEFIRE NOW!
CEASEFIRE NOW!
In the face of unfettered devastation and suffering, humanity must prevail. Demand a ceasefire by all parties to end civilian suffering.
Act now ⬇️

I repeat my call for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Middle East, the unconditional release of all hostages, and the delivery of life-saving supplies at the scale needed.
Everyone must assume their responsibilities.
This is a moment of truth.
History will judge us all.

We can't get into Gaza, but Yousef Hammash lives there. He works for Norwegian Refugee Council and is a filmmaker - this is just some of his reporting on how children in Gaza have experienced the war #Gaza #Palestine #childreninGaza #Gazankids

This is the devastating reaction of Al Jazeera’s Wael Al-Dahdouh after learning his wife and two children were killed in Gaza. Israel says it was targeting terrorist infrastructure in the area. @pressfreedom says at least 24 journalists have been killed in Gaza since October 7.

🚨 NEW: Greta Thunberg has just been detained protesting a Big Oil conference in London.
This was her powerful message to the fossil fuel industry before she was detained.

Release the hostages.
Protect the innocent.
De-escalate.
#CeasefireNOW
As a woman of faith, I see this plainly:
Saving civilian lives—including Israeli & American hostages and the Palestinians trapped in Gaza—must be the priority.
We need a #CeasefireNOW.
Alix O'Neill retweeted
Israel must lift the siege of Gaza, restore the electricity and water supply and allow humanitarian access. Its forces must abide by international humanitarian law and take all feasible precautions to protect civilians and refrain from indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks.
Alix O'Neill retweeted
No electricity, no food, no fuel for 1 million children. Straight from the horse's mouth. That can't be the civilised world's answer, whatever differences we may have on who did what to whom first or last.
