Ruwaida Kamal Amer, a freelance journalist from Khan Younis, writes from inside Gaza:

Amer quotes Laila Al-Khalid, 45:

Full article: Israel is ordering Gazans to flee south. But they’re bombing us here too

Al Jazeera is reporting on this, and also various reporters have been hit in South Lebanon by the Israelis', including two of their team.

A ploy to get people out into the open

"Why didn't these kids we are bombing just rise up and take down this violent repressive regime we couldn't dislodge in three wars"

And which we surreptitiously backed in the first place to divide the Palestinians:

How Israel helped create Hamas

"Why didn't these kids we are bombing just rise up and take down this violent repressive regime we couldn't dislodge in three wars"

It's the sort of logic that Hamas used to make their attacks - all Israelis are responsible because they could have voted Netanyahu out. It's shit.

Al Jazeera is reporting on this, and also various reporters have been hit in South Lebanon by the Israelis', including two of their team.

At least one Reuters videographer has been killed by Israeli forces in Southern Lebanon. A number of outlets have reported now; his name was Issam Abdallah.
This is from the Guardian - link

According to the Guardian, the Gazan health ministry have said that at least 1,799 people in Gaza have been killed by Israeli strikes.

And 8000 injured, presumably in hospitals they are now being told to move from.

Lots of things are legal that aren't right, but I'd like to see this tested by a court in case the lawyer was one sb of Westminster

What an absolute piece of shit. To think Labour zoomed-out should be about solidarity with the weakest and most ordinary people over the most powerful.

Akehurst is another vile little shit: “signed off by lawyers” indeed.

MSF reporting a hospital (Al Awda, <removed location speculation as g maps prob not reliable> e2a: North Gaza) has been given two hours to evacuate.

Graun feed featuring tweet:

UN says tens of thousands have fled south in Gaza after Israel’s evacuation order – as it happened

More than 400,000 in Gaza were already internally displaced before Israel’s evacuation order, UN humanitarian office says

www.theguardian.com

Israel has given Al Awda Hospital just two hours to evacuate. Our staff are still treating patients.

We unequivocally condemn this action, the continued indiscriminate bloodshed and attacks on health care in Gaza.

We are trying to protect our staff and patients.

Zarah Sultana has just shared out an excellent post on Facebook. Fuck knows how she has the stomach to stay in Starmer's Labour.

We might be seeing a lot less journalism (professional or citizen) from inside Gaza.

What is it about war crimes that is so attractive to the Labour Party?

\it is terrifying how ill equipped the british media on balance are to discuss this issue. Poor old Owen Jones is tearing his hair out trying to explain this and it just goes right over the heads of people

It is shocking isn't it? And IME no reflection of how it is discussed in real life. Most people are perfectly capable of understanding that the Palestinians have suffered and that cutting off their water is a crime against humanity.

This young woman is really good at holding her own ad getting her point across:

You cannot hope to bribe or twist,
Thank God! the British journalist.
But, seeing what they do
Unbribed, there's no occasion to

Well worth listening to.

This is sickening (I’ve know people who work at MSF, they’re committed humanitarians):

You can almost hear his glee at how well this distracts from his political problems…
