"We believe it is of the utmost importance that we continue to be visibly queer."

Thanks to Lucina and Krystal for their time.

As of the end of July it ran to 60,199 names, of whom 18,457 were under 18s. Far from comprehensive, the list does not include the thousands still buried under the rubble of destroyed buildings, as well as the war’s many indirect victims As of the end of July there were 18,457 children named on the long official list of Palestinian victims of Israel’s war in Gaza.

“Frankly, I’m losing words to describe the horror of this. The worst conflict for journalists that CPJ has ever documented, and the abject failure of the international community to do anything to address it,” CPJ’s CEO @jodieginsberg.bsky.social told @aljazeera.com.

The Gaza Famine is the world’s famine. A preventable, predictable famine.

Enough. Ceasefire. Open all crossings, north and south. Let us get food in, unimpeded and at massive scale.
