- These journalists are incredible. They literally are the world’s eyes in #Gaza right now and they’re being deliberately targeted. They’re mothers, daughters and sisters - just trying to stay alive to tell us what’s going on inside @IMSforfreemediaThis is what it’s like for women journalists to work inside #Gaza.

- Truly horrific images of children, toddlers, babies- their bodies torn apart by an Israeli bombing whilst waiting for food supplements. Distraught mothers are hugging lifeless small bodies. ‘We’re appalled’ says @unicefchiefWe’re appalled by the reported killing in Gaza today of children and women waiting in line for nutritional supplies provided by UNICEF’s partner organization, Project HOPE. The killing of families trying to access life-saving aid is unconscionable.👇 unicef.org/press-releases…

Palestinian authorities described the raid as a "war crime" and said it had resulted in multiple casualties. Latest: trib.al/p1Pk6ig00:00
