It was a pleasure to review @Zonal_Marking's fine new book for this month's @WSC_magazine. As he quotes Jens Lehmann: "Anyone just looking at the ball only knows where it is, not where it will be.” wsc.co.uk/reviews/63-General… @KingstonianFC

We have now lost contact with my Dad. He and the 1.1 million people in the most densely populated part of Gaza have been ordered to move South. There is nowhere to go. The bombardment continues. I have never felt so isolated from my human rights and legal colleagues. 1/2

My Dad describes how Al Shifa Hospital has no electricity and is running out of fuel for its generators. Intensive care beds have run out. Medicines are running out. Most of those injured & needing treatment are children and elderly. And the indiscriminate bombing continues.
