I first met Nick here on 2013, he was the best of us and for 12 years he’s whole heartedly loved and supported us. Absolutely devastated to hear he’s gone. Love you Nick ❤️

This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message : “If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side. By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people. I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.” — For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.

Rest in Peace, Hossam.

You wake up to new horrors every day.

just remember that people who have seen this obliteration again and again and do not label it an extermination campaign of an entire people absolutely agree with the extermination. there is no gray here.

We're deeply saddened by the passing of Alex Wheatle, a legendary novelist and a phenomenal leader in Black British literature. His powerful storytelling and dedication to uplifting Black voices earned him an MBE and numerous other awards. His impact on literature and young readers will never be forgotten. Our thoughts are with his family at this very sad time. Peace and love. The Black British Book Festival Team

Listen and weep

No, the ceasefire did not collapse. Israel collapsed it, as they always planned. After two weeks of no supplies to 2 million Palestinians in Gaza, once hunger had returned, Israel unleashed its bombs once again. And so the genocide continues. aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/18…

Last night Israel killed 80 children in 51 minutes
