The profound impact the genocide in Gaza is having on children and families. The UN reaches Gaza city after five attempts, in the north people are trapped under rubble for days awaiting help, access denied. Proof uncovered that the IDF use Palestinians as human shields and Irish members of EU ask why patients being burned in their beds is not a red line. US media shut down interviews. A group of 44 climate scientists write an open letter about the collapse of the Atlantic Ocean circulation while in Australia a channel 10 weatherman gets it. Jon Faine talks republic in front of the first seat of parliament in Melbourne. Five minutes on X.

People have been trapped under rubble for days – help denied access
@ochaopt
Listen to this survivor’s plea.
People have been trapped under rubble for days and need to be rescued.
Every minute counts but we’re still not granted access to Falouja in North #Gaza.
We’ve been asking for this urgently from Israeli authorities since Friday. #AccessDenied pic.twitter.com/OHZrWZOCUq

How have we reached a point where burning patients alive in their hospital beds is not a red line for the EU?

Israel violates international law daily, yet the EU stays complicit as its biggest trading partner.
People demand sanctions & a ceasefire now. Time to act.

Before 1948: three Zionist militias: Haganah, Irgun and Lehi.
@MiddleEastEye
Before Israel was founded in 1948, there were three Zionist militias: Haganah, Irgun and Lehi.
