We are appalled and outraged by the Israeli airstrike on Nasser hospital in Gaza, Palestine, last night. We have already treated three people injured in the attack.
It is unconscionable that patients and medical staff are once again being killed and injured inside a hospital, a place where lives should be saved, not taken.
We urge world leaders to move beyond statements of condemnation and take concrete action to ensure the protection of patients, healthcare workers, and facilities in Gaza. The continued attacks on healthcare cannot be met with silence and impunity.

Unbearable.
Gaza screams for us to break the siege.
I hope you are all sleeping safely in your homes, surrounded by your families. I hope every child has warm clothes and every parent can provide the care their children need.
I hope your children have umbrellas, raincoats, and rain boots for school. I hope your cities are prepared to respond to winter emergencies.
Of course, sharing this news will change nothing for our families in Gaza, just as the warnings issued days ago changed nothing.
Tonight, at 8:30 p.m., as families slept on the ground inside their tents, a massive landslide of soil and rocks buried at least two families in Deir al-Balah.
The victims have been identified as:
Habiba Hossam al-Zain, 4 years old
Reem Hossam al-Zain
Ibrahim Hossam al-Zain
Salah Nabhan, 7 years old
Mariam Nabhan
The mothers of these five children remain in critical condition.
The father of the first three children had already been killed by Israel.
I hope everyone has heat in their homes.

A fourth winter of war. The same suffering.
Children in #Gaza are facing rain and cold in fragile tents. Their clothes are soaked. Their bedding is flooded. Even their shelters are flooded with rainwater.
Access for all aid and more funding is vital. Children cannot wait.

مع اشتداد الأمطار والبرد في #غزة، تواجه العائلات وأطفالها ظروفًا مأساوية داخل خيام مؤقتة لا توفر لهم سوى القليل من الحماية.
تبذل اليونيسف كل ما بوسعها لتقديم الدعم، لكن هناك حاجة ماسّة لبذل المزيد من الجهود.
يجب ضمان وصول جميع المساعدات الإنسانية وتوفير المزيد من التمويل
Is Serie A Europe's most exciting and most competitive league?! There's still so much work to do but Italian football might just be on the rise again after hitting rock bottom: shorturl.at/xREUH

8 people including a 4 year old kid
If they were Jewish/Israeli we'd rightly see their faces, know their names, world leaders scrambling to condemn it & find those responsible.
But they're Palestinians so nothing.
Israel will do it again tomorrow as they have for decades.

Zitto zitto Raffaele #Palladino sta facendo un altro capolavoro: ha preso il #Bologna penultimo e in 40 giorni l’ha riportato a lottare per un posto in Europa con 13 punti conquistati in 6 giornate. Peccato se ne parli poco; dato che non è un tecnico particolarmente sponsorizzato da certe conventicole, anche se i risultati parlano per lui dopo gli ottimi risultati con Monza, Fiorentina e Atalanta…
Gerry Cardinale says Ruben Amorim is AC Milan's 'Top Gun' - and there is some evidence to suggest that the Portuguese has learned from the way in which he crashed and burned (sorry!) at Manchester United. shorturl.at/7nIM9

This confirms @FIFAcom maximised revenue from supporters most determined to attend the World Cup, while pricing out thousands of others.
Access to football's biggest tournament should not go to the highest bidder.
Exclusive: FIFA made $5 billion from tickets & hospitality at 2026 World Cup - over five times more than at previous World Cup thanks in large part to controversial dynamic pricing.

The Ballon d'Or is now football's answer to the Oscars - but how on earth did an award born of 'boredom' become so farcically important within a team sport?! shorturl.at/teX7e

Congratulations to President Lula on a stunning, historic re-election.
A political comeback that will be remembered for generations to come.
This is a victory for the people, for the planet and for peace.

In years of genocide
hope came from the young
In Serbia
2 yrs of youth-led protest -integrity, unity, perseverance- brought change
Today that hope is a rainbow
its far end in Brazil
May it shine
wherever wounds run deep
and the young are fighting the old
Humanity will prevail
