This is the story of Miriam - who died a day before she was approved medical evacuation. She was one of 4,000 children who the WHO says are in urgent need of medical care that is not available inside Gaza. Warning: this report contains distressing images.

The child Yaqeen Hammad has been martyred. She was known for accompanying her brother, Mohammad Hammad, on the path of goodness—offering help to children and planting hope in their hearts. Her body may be gone, but her impact remains a beacon of humanity.

Another night of horror in the #Gaza Strip. A strike hit a hospital courtyard, burning the tents where people were sleeping. Just before this, an @UNRWA school sheltering families was hit in Nuseirat. That same school was going to be used as a #polio vaccination site today.

A unique urban quirk in Athenry. Built of stone & rough concrete, the old handball alley straddles the Dominican Priory, Abbey Row, & the Clarin River. With its projecting alley walls, the Priory sits like a sphinx between the homes of Abbey Row. Seldom used, full of potential. – at Galway, Ireland
