Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank return a Palestinian man dead just an hour after detaining him, reportedly with signs of torture. At the time of his detention, he had been sleeping with his family on their roof. aljazeera.com/program/newsfe…

If you read this having woken up from a slumber over the last ten months you would think that Iran and Hamas are at war because they are the only named belligerents here.
A joint statement from the leaders of France, Germany and the United Kingdom on the Middle East.
ALT We, the leaders of France, Germany and the United Kingdom, welcome the tireless work of our partners in Qatar, Egypt and the United States towards an agreement on a ceasefire and the release of hostages. We endorse the joint statement of HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani, President Sisi and President Biden calling for the immediate resumption of negotiations. We agree that there can be no further delay. We have been working with all parties to prevent escalation and will spare no effort to reduce tensions and find a path to stability. The fighting must end now, and all hostages still detained by Hamas must be released. The people of Gaza need urgent and unfettered delivery and distribution of aid. Read the full statement in the link below.

An almost daily occurrence.
At least eight schools hit in the last 10 days, including six @UNRWA schools.
The war robbed the girls and boys in #Gaza of their childhood & education.
Schools must never be used for fighting or military purposes by any party to the conflict.
Schools are not a target.
The blatant & constant disregard of international humanitarian law continues unabated.
All rules of war have been broken in #Gaza.
Losing our common humanity must not become the new norm

“I have never seen a mass casualty event like today [13 July] Every corner in the hospital was busy. Every space was occupied by the injured or bodies of the dead” says Dr Mohammed Abu Mughaiseeb, MSF deputy medical coordinator, working in Nasser hospital, Khan Younis, south Gaza

.@KingsCollegeLon has taken issue with students who disrupted our Open Day demanding the College to take a stance in the face of Israel's war on #Gaza. They are vilifying instead of listening to our students and distort facts. Below my letter in response to senior management.

An Orwellian @BBCNews article on Israel's medaeval siege of Gaza which almost fails to mention the siege & is worded to suggest that the water systems are 'broken' rather than destroyed the IDF

More than 76% of schools in #Gaza require ‘full reconstruction or major rehabilitation’ to be functional after having been targeted by Israel. This is the deliberate attempt to destroy a people's future, development, and empowerment. #StopGazaGenocideNOW
