Medical sources say eight killed in a shooting incident near an aid distribution site west of Rafah in southern Gaza.

Have to say fair play to my indomitable 88-year-old mother - at the centre above the D in Dump - once an environmental warrior, always an environmental warrior … 🙌 🙌 🙌 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I wrote a letter for the Action Network campaign: Today, UN experts demanded safe passage for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition's ship Madleen, you can join them by putting Israel on notice. As the Madleen sails from Catania toward Gaza... Can you join me? Click here: actionnetwork.org/letters/form...

It's a simple as pressing a button - activism can be straightforward - just do it. 🇵🇸 actionnetwork.org/letters/form...

Love her 😍

Public figures, including Steve Coogan and Nadia Sawalha, joined an 18-hour-long vigil in London to read aloud the names of thousands of Palestinian children killed in Israel’s war on Gaza.

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

Queen's University Belfast no longer investing in Israeli companies "as of yesterday"

UK-Israeli academic research ties questioned amid Gaza aid blockade: @ukri.org £20m cooperation framework and joint projects agreed in 2023 should be CANCELED. European Union reviewing whether Israel should remain part of #Horizon, so @ukparliament.parliament.uk MUST include research in SANCTIONS.🇵🇸

This is an amazing MA program with not only the smartest and most vital coordinator but some of the most diverse class rooms i’ve taught in. The best type of research degree with brilliant leading and exceptional cohorts; highly recommended!! #womensstudies

Our island does have a barren, moss filled flat spot that would be an excellent venue for Mr. Musk to bareknuckle fight Mr. Trump for supremecy of their respective worlds. Winner gets a gentle kiss and foot bath from Mr. Bannon.

Rally is held as British PM Starmer calls Israel’s actions ‘intolerable’, addressing lawmakers in Parliament.

Today is Arafah Day, one of the most important days in the Islamic calendar. It is a day of immense divine forgiveness, mercy, and blessings. I am honoured to be in Egypt, where most of my colleagues are marking this day, and then celebrate Eid al-Adha immediately afterwards. Thinking of Palestine ☪️

Move comes as Israel kills nearly 100 Palestinians across enclave in one day while maintaining crippling aid blockade.

🇵🇸 💔 "we are watching a people entirely stripped of its human dignity. It should really shock our collective conscience." Ashamed of the Labour Party (UK), which could do so much more. A second day of failure to deliver humanitarian aid. 🇵🇸 💔 www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation claims aid distribution sites have been closed to carry out ‘maintenance’ work.

This is how we say well done to our students at the end of the academic year - amazing vibes, Arab legend Tamer Hosny was incredible, and we danced and partied under the stars in celebration of the year's hard work. Congratulations to all students and staff, it was a truly fabulous night ❤️🎉🚀🇪🇬

At a time of intense 'push back' and 'double-take' regarding Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) work in the UK and globally, this was born today - having a dedicated "University Centre" for EDI is a significant signal. Massive congratulations!

‼️SO EXCITED‼️ Tonight is the Farewell Party for our graduating students at The British University in Egypt, featuring a live performance by Arab Legend Tamer Hosny 🇪🇬. It will be a truly unforgettable and magical evening, and I cannot wait ‼️

I voted for @teamlabouruk.bsky.social, but UK Labour has lost my vote forever as a result of its #Palestine policy. In March 2025, @libdems.org.uk proposed recognition of Palestine as a sovereign, independent state. British Muslim + non-Muslim voters, opposing this genocide, remember this. 🇵🇸 💔

Israeli air attacks hit homes in Gaza City on Friday, forcing families to flee through smoke and rubble. The attack came as Hamas is reviewing a new US-backed ceasefire proposal but says that its current terms would result in “the continuation of killing and famine” in Gaza.
