Rest in Peace, Brid McDermott
Our deepest sympathies are with the McDermott family at this sad time.
Brid endured the unimaginable loss of her beloved children, Marcella, Willie and George, in the Stardust fire, yet she faced that heartbreak with extraordinary dignity, 1/3 – at Palmas, Canary Islands

I gave a statement to @gardainfo today regarding threats made against my family.
While intimidation of journalists isn't brilliant for democracy and I'm happy to sustain an abundance of personal abuse, a line has to be drawn when someone's family is targeted.

Palestinian journalist Abdelrahman Alkahlout posted a video on his social media highlighting the importance of Nasser Hospital for journalists working in Khan Younis.
“Since the beginning of the war, I have relied on this spot at Nasser Medical Complex as the only window to access the internet,” Alkahlout said.
“Today, this place was deliberately targeted an attempt to silence our voices and stop us from documenting what is happening in Gaza,” he added.
Nasser Medical Complex was targeted by an Israeli strike on Monday, killing Middle East Eye journalist Mohammad Salama along with 13 others.
