Israel has closed Gaza’s border crossings (again) as the Iran war escalates (also again). The war has been disastrous, in so many ways. It has been specifically disastrous for Palestinians in Gaza, as Israel continues to immiserate the population and gobble up territory with the world distracted.
🚨Sensitive information of 600,000 Palestinians in Gaza hacked in potentially the largest known humanitarian data breach
- Cyber attack targeted World Food Programme
- Names, ID & mobile numbers, location data hacked
- Took 17 for WFP to inform beneficiaries

Today marks 6 months of the so-called ceasefire in Gaza. On the ground, Israel continues to carry out attacks, choke off aid, prevent people from returning to their ruined homes, demolish property on a massive scale, block any kind of reconstruction & directly occupy more than 50% of the Strip.
Very disturbing breaking news of attack by EU-supported Libyan Coast Guard against @sea-watch.org @en.sea-watch.org civilian search and rescue boat in the central Mediterranean.
Seeing reports of 250+ people killed by Israel strikes across Lebanon today – utterly devastating.
Israel also killed Al-Jazeera journalist Mohammed Wishah in a strike on the Gaza Strip today, bringing the total number of journalists killed in the enclave to over 210.
"Some people have returned home... while many are still searching for a place where they can find stability."
