#Gaza: We condemn the killing by Israeli military of 6 Palestinian journalists by targeting their tent, in grave breach of international humanitarian law. #Israel must respect & protect all civilians, including journalists. At least 242 Palestinian journalists were killed in Gaza since 7 Oct 2023.
We call for immediate, safe & unhindered access to Gaza for all journalists.

“We had barely arrived when the explosions began — sharp, rhythmic, intensifying. Each thud sent a tremor through the walls.”
@ShowkatNanda’s vivid eyewitness account of a night spent under bombardment in Kashmir is so powerful and affecting.

I could hear the women in the bunker nearby chanting the Islamic Shahada — “There is no god but God …” — each time a shell landed. Their voices didn’t crack. Each time a blast rang out, my own body tightened.

About 10 minutes later, at 2:47 p.m., Mr. Khan said, he heard the sound of what he thought was firecrackers set off by the tourists. “Then I saw three people lying in a pool of blood,” he said.

On this day 24 years ago, the world watched, helplessly, as Jamal al-Durrah tried to protect his 12-year-old son Muhammad from Israeli bullets that rained down on them in Gaza for 40 minutes. Despite pleads, Israeli soldiers intentionally shot Muhammad in the stomach, whose final moments of fear and horror were caught on camera and streamed by France TV, and injured his father.
Muhammad became the defining and haunting image of the Second Intifada.
Irony dies a thousand deaths when these people call Palestinians animals.

More horror in the #GazaGhetto. The Israeli occupation forces have bombed a camp for displaced Palestinians in #Rafah, causing plastic tents to catch fire and tragically burning people alive. This cruelty, along with blatant defiance of the int'l law and system, is unacceptable.
The #GazaGenocide will not easily end without external pressure: Israel must face sanctions, justice, suspension of agreements, trade, partnership and investments, as well as participation in int'l forums.

"We have seen the biggest human crime unfold in front of our eyes for six months, and Israel will walk away from it.
"There's going to be no consequences for it whatsoever."

🇵🇸🇮🇱 A little girl cries after seeing a journalist who resembles her father.
The man thought she was crying because she never got any candy, but the actual reason was because he resembled her father.
Heartbreaking 💔
