I'm so very sad to hear of the death of Esther Ranzen who played an important role in reuniting me with Nicky Winton - the man who saved my life.
It's so desperately sad that she couldn't choose assisted dying as was her wish.

Nothing to see here, just UNICEF stating Israel has killed a child per day for the last 300 days.
Why would the media bother to report it when they’re pretending there’s a ceasefire?
"A ceasefire that leaves an average of one child dead each and every day is failing children," - @UNICEFmena Regional Director Edouard Beigbeder. "With hundreds more children injured, many severely, children in Gaza are still waiting for the end to the violence they were promised."

The first victims of war are always disabled people. Thousands of Cuban dialysis patients are going to die because hemodialysis needs electricity.
This, too is a genocide
Doctors in Havana say at least 3,000 people are relying on dialysis machines to stay alive, and may die if these blackouts continue. This is murder.
