Rafah, Palestine.
Rafah had a pop in 2023 of 280,000, approx the same as Cork City.
Like Cork it was over 1000 years old.
It's now gone.
Not a single intact building, football pitch, school or church.
Israel did this.
And today Ireland lines up to play football. 😑

It was lovely to welcome students from the @learnabroadco in Cork to Togher Community Garden! 🌿
The students spent time exploring the garden and learning about sustainability, biodiversity, growing food, composting, recycling and the importance of community led projects.

Congratulations South Africa Legal Team. What a gift to humanity you are.
South Africa has officially submitted a substantial dossier to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), detailing Israel’s continued non-compliance with legally binding provisional measures.
The submission, formally handed over on 25 August 2026, serves to assist an ICJ committee of judges tasked with monitoring the implementation of the court’s orders in Gaza.
According to the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO), Israel’s non-compliance directly undermines the protective functions of international justice.
Hence, the submission is a vital milestone in the struggle for global accountability. By formally documenting Israel’s refusal to adhere to the court’s binding provisional measures, Pretoria is doing far more than advocating for Palestinian survival.

On Saturday, we got started on our winter crops, preparing the beds and planning for the changing seasons. There’s still plenty to do, but it’s lovely to slow the pace a little, reflect on everything we’ve achieved over the summer, and look forward to what’s to come. 🌱🌱

A lovely Wednesday in Togher Community Garden in between the heavy showers, we planted broccoli and leeks, tidied up some of our beds and enjoyed a beautiful shared lunch together. Thanks you to Sarah and Leo for sharing delicious plums and tomatoes from their garden with us.

What a beautiful creative afternoon at the garden exploring the wonderful art of cyanotype printing.
We used plants, flowers and treasures from the garden to create our own unique prints, including prints of ourselves, onto fabric. 🌱💙
