It is absolutely farcical to try to peddle the view that foreign journalists are not entering Gaza because it’s ‘dangerous’. International journalists have been delib blocked from entering #Gaza by primarily #Israel who doesnt want them seeing the war crimes 🧵

This is the most excoriating sentence in a blistering column ‘We would not be here if western reporters and Joe Biden hadn’t manufactured consent for the genocide by repeating the incendiary lie that Hamas had beheaded babies’

British surgeon Tom Potokar who’s in Gaza, is treating the war wounded, trying to put together broken bodies torn apart by bombs. The Israeli air strikes have imposed a terrifying legacy with a huge number of amputees

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 @IMSforfreemedia

This is what it’s like for women journalists to work inside #Gaza. "We die a million times because we see and live the pain of all the people, and we have seen things that might take years to forget,” says Mona Okal, journalist at Palestine TV. Support the journalists in 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 @unicefchief

We’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…

In case you missed it, this is what Israeli bombing of one of the few remaining hospitals in Gaza looks like whilst apparently hunting ‘terrorists’ as the UN says Israeli restrictions on aid may amount to “starvation as a method of war”

Footage filmed near the al Shifa hospital in Gaza shows people in distress following a raid by Israel. Palestinian authorities described the raid as a "war crime" and said it had resulted in multiple casualties. Latest: trib.al/p1Pk6ig

The images coming out of #Gaza right now show bloodied children screaming for their mothers; old women picking their way thro rubble and screaming. Screaming everywhere. Foreign journalists have not been allowed in #Gaza for last 22 days
